Indian Restaurant & Takeaway Copper Chimney — Restaurant in Te Hiku Community

Coming from Auckland, we didn't consider practically everything in Kaitaia closes around 9. We needed to get dinner last-minute (10-15 minutes before they closed) and the manager Amit was VERY helpful & accommodating - confirmed our order for takeaway, had the staff stay longer & prepare what was possible, apologized for the outspoken chef (which I didn't mind; we were late, not their problem), talk to them about customer service... was pleasant to speak to.

The food was all fresh - the Butter Na'an & Chicken Tikka Masala were absolutely AWESOME but the Biryanis weren't exactly your typical Biryanis... plus, their Medium spice actually gets a lot of chilli, specifically in the Biryani it seems like... especially due to the lack of Raitha, which didn't help in our case.

The moment you enter the restaurant there is a funky smell - the food too was funky tasting - the toilet is near the reception so when you can smell the toilet near where you are going to eat it is a put off

Customer service was awesome - but what their naan was not naan -

The food was watered down their medium spicy was mild - we order different dishes - the butter chicken was sweet and watery the tandoori chicken was lacking flavour and salt - the other dishes too - were too sweet not enough masala - spices etc etc

Very disappointing - but the top side was that the customer service was nice - we were greeted well attended to well just those other things that bought the entire...
