Great Spice Papamoa East — Restaurant in Bay of Plenty

We would definitely dine here again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying Indian dining experience in the Papamoa or...

BEST RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER VISITED IN NEW ZEALAND!!

Would definitely recommend to go here. I have traveled around the country and lots of staff working have said they are shortage of staff and they also warned us that food may be late and etc but the food was on our table not long after we ordered even though they were really busy. We had booked a table for 5 people and the booking process was also really easy. They had amazing service really kind and friendly staff. The staff were really kid friendly and even our kids have asked to go back to this place because of how good the service was but also because of how good the food was. We ordered 3 different curry’s , butter chicken hot, chicken curry mild and tarka daal medium all were very good tasting and all had the perfect amount of spices. The kids got kids butter chicken, fries and nuggets the kids said it was all really good and the butter chicken was a perfect amount of food. The naan bread was also amazing tasting i would rate the food a 10/10. definitely going back to this...

Our recent dine-in experience at the restaurant was deeply disappointing.

Despite expressing our disappointment to the staff, we were met with resistance and initially told to pay the full amount. After a prolonged discussion, we happily agreed to pay for the side and drinks. While we have always appreciated the restaurant's delicious cuisine, this experience has left us profoundly disheartened and reluctant to dine in or recommend it to others in the...
