Otahuhu Butter Chicken Centre — Restaurant in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Consistently Creamy Butter-Chicken Bliss in Ōtāhuhu

I discovered this place a month ago, and I’m already planning my third return visit—yes, it’s that good.

What makes it stand out?

Reliably perfect butter chicken. While other “big-name” spots hit or miss, here every serve is velvety-creamy, gently sweet, and packed with flavour—every single time.

Amazing value. A full combo for just $22 feels almost unreal in today’s economy. The portions are generous enough for leftovers (if you can resist polishing it all off in one sitting).

Lamb saag done right. I asked for mild and got exactly that—aromatic spinach gravy, tender lamb, no rogue chilli surprise. Next time I’ll bump it to medium because the flavour balance is so spot-on.

Garlic-cheesy naan heaven. They don’t skimp on garlic or cheese; this naan could be a meal on its own. Pulling apart those gooey layers is pure joy.

Immaculate space & service. The dining area is spotless, and the staff answer every question with patience and a genuine smile. Orders are taken quickly, double-checked, and delivered hot.

A test of a really good curry place in my view is the ability to make a mild butter curry that is tasty and this place was off the charts. Also the poppadums are lovely and smokey.

The downside was the naan which needed to be cooked longer as it still tasted a bit floury.

Despite this, I’ll...

After reading the reviews, we decided to go here for dinner. The food was delicious and didn't disappoint. However it definitely isn't a dine in place. I should have looked at the photos prior to going. There are a few tables but it is not a dine in experience. Staff were very kind and friendly. Will definitely be back, for takeaway. We had Lamb Saagwala, Kiwi Butter Chicken, kids butter chicken, garlic cheese...
