Our dinner experience last night offered a blend of highs and lows, particularly with our curry selections. We spent $34 on our takeaway, anticipating a meal that would delight and satisfy.

We highly recommend that people take a risk and try different Indian dishes, and if you’re ever passing through Helensville, stop and experience a curry cooked by...
Read morePaid for the combo meal of $55 that was meant to include a 1.5L drink and we were just given coke cans instead. We were meant to have 2 rice included but was only given one rice and only saw when we got home. Was meant to dine in the restaurant but ; got told there was an extra fee just to sit inside and eat which was not mentioned in the menu or anywhere inside the restaurant itself; when asked about it the staff were not apologetic but frustrated with the question. Staff were not friendly or approachable and the experience just waiting for our food was uncomfortable. The staff were agitated when asked questions and were ready to cause a scene.Was looking forward to support our local but now just disappointed at the service. Don’t...
