Bawarchi Khana — Restaurant in North Island

I wanted to try a different Indian restaurant, so I stumbled upon this one since it had good ratings. To be honest I have tried lots of Indian restaurant but never have I ever had to give such a bad review. It just wasn't worth it. We ordered chicken jalfrezi, chicken biryani and paneer Tikka. We did say "medium spicy," but never said to make it Flavourless.

Is cheaper and arguably better than anything in the Hutt. Without the flash signs and websites of others, just hope these guys stay around for years! My first choice for Indian, and talking with some other customers, they...

The place has recently opened and saved us from the plethora of fish and chip shops around Taita. We're happy to report the food is great value and we really love how the Onion Bhaji is the shoestring variety and not balls of onion.

We opted for takeaway and choose mild to let the younger kids enjoy more of the Chicken Korma and Butter Chicken dishes.

The only critique is that the stuffed Naans were a little doughy although the plain naan was good.

Everyone cleaned their plate and we're looking forward to going back when they've decorated a little more (and I'm looking forward to personally kicking up the...
