New Paradise Porirua — Restaurant in North Island

As someone who truly enjoys Indian cuisine—especially northern Indian dishes—and has experienced them authentically both in India and at some top-notch places in Wellington, I had high hopes for New Paradise. Unfortunately, my order fell short of expectations. I ordered the Apollo Fish and Chicken Biryani yesterday via Delivereasy app. The fish was undercooked and raw in the middle, which is concerning, especially for a dish like Apollo Fish that is typically fried and flavourful; not served rare. It was a clear miss on preparation and safety. The Chicken Biryani was a real miss. It lacked the depth of spice one expects from a dish that should be bursting with aroma and flavour.

We would like to thank the team at New Paradise Porirua for catering at our Daughter's First Birthday Party. The food was simply authentic, and delicious from entrée, mains to dessert. Rahul and team did an absolutely brilliant job working with us to make appropriate arrangements within two days prior to the event. The menu was tailored to our request and they surpassed our expectations. Based on the order, there was more than enough and plenty for seconds. They delivered and set up for us, right on time. Straight forward arrangements, and communication along the way. We highly recommend this place for your next occasion, or simply for a dine in or take out!

I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant last weekend! The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made great recommendations. But the real star of the show was the food - oh, the food! I ordered the Murgh Malai Kebab, and it was cooked to perfection. The flavours were bold and exciting, and the presentation was beautiful. I was impressed by the creativity and care that clearly went into crafting each dish.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a warm and modern decor that set the tone for a wonderful evening. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and service.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming environment. Can't wait to come back and try more...
