Mithaiwala K ROAD — Restaurant in Waitematā

We went to Mithaiwala on K road for dinner on Tuesday night. It was my partners birthday and he fancied thali. We both ordered 2 different Thalis with different curries. So we placed our order and paid for it and was told to take a seat. We were brought 2 samosas from our thali option as entree which felt like it was from couple of days ago. Than we here our ordered getting yelled out from bottom stairs and than the lady yells and says come get it. It would have been great to be advised at start that once your order is ready you will need to come get it. Upon us going to get our order we find the curries we ordered for our Thali were mixed up or missing, to which the staff member was like oh it’s mixed up please manage and went to get missing items. My partner took a bite and said the curries are cold and tasteless, the kadhi was off, sweets were stale and sweet lassi was full of sugar. The overall experience was horrible even after waiting for our food it was cold and simple order was not fulfilled. As a restaurant you should atleast be able to put right orders in front of your customer. I would not recommend this place to anyone, it’s not worth it. Very disappointing experience, poor service and unwearable food. We lost our appetite and ended up not eating anything that we ordered. Packed everything to give it to homeless person. Would even give any stars if it...

Craving Fiery Indian Street Food? (Not for the Faint of Heart)

This CBD eatery offers a taste of India at a budget-friendly price, but be warned - their dishes are known for their heat!

Spicy Street Food: Pani Puri: If you love a fiery challenge, tread carefully. Their pani puri features oversized puris, making it difficult to enjoy the traditional way (popping the whole puri in your mouth after filling). Samosas: These golden pastries seem authentic and deliver on flavor, offering a taste of India without breaking the bank. Simple and Quick Bites:

This spot is ideal for a quick and spicy grab-and-go meal. The decor is basic, and the constant Hindu temple music might not be for everyone.

Spice Level: This is definitely a place for spice enthusiasts! Be prepared for a fiery explosion of flavor.

Not Your Typical Dine-In Experience: Looking for a fancy sit-down meal? This isn't it. But if you're craving authentic Indian street food with a kick and are okay with a casual atmosphere, this place could be worth a try! Just be aware of the oversized pani puri that might affect the traditional...

It was a 5-year-old daughter who insisted on having pani puri; she thought it would taste similar to the Indian version but turned out to be more like a spicier version. Good for adults, but not recommended for children.

Mango lassi served its purpose with no complaints. As for vadapav, I'm unsure how to describe this disastrous snack. The outer coating of the vada is so thick that you need an extra pair of hands or teeth. They don't serve dried chili; instead, they apply some green and red colored sauce between the buns.

I told the guy sitting in front that their vada pav is tasteless and a waste of money. I couldn't eat it because there was no taste of masala inside the vada. I've attached pictures for others' recommendations.

If you visit this place, I suggest trying something other than vadapav. I've lost interest in visiting this...
