Curry Village — Restaurant in Wellington

Very disappointed. I made booking beforehand for 4 people, to celebrate my youngest son's 19th birthday. We were astounded when the waitress asked to see my son's ID. He's 6 foot 3 with a full beard and most certainly does not look under the legal drinking age. He didn't bring his wallet with because it wasn't necessary. Both my husband and I were really annoyed. We are a decent, respectable family, not a bunch of rowdy students who could potentially be under age drinkers. This was meant to be a birthday dinner for our son. My husband left us at the restaurant, drove home and got some ID for my son, drove back to the restaurant and showed it to the waitress so that she could bring him the Corona that he ordered. The manager then came to the table and asked to see his ID again, making us feel like we were being deceitful in some way. By this time our evening was ruined, and we just wanted to eat our curry and leave. But, to top it off the Lamb Hyderabad that we ordered didn't even have lamb - it was beef! Such an utterly disappointing experience. We will...

Shut up and listen. I'm telling you, the absolute best in Wellington. And TBH the best Indian I've ever ever had. I say it every single time we have, best bloody curry I've ever had. Garlic naan is awesomely chewy and lathered in a tonne of garlic. We're vegetarian dishes and the flavour is outrageous. Multiple subtle layers with a depth of lasting flavour that just rocks me. And every single dish is unique to itself and always noticeably different from the next. This is the real deal. Listen to me. Just order and weep before its splendour. You will lose your one dimensional preconceived notion as of curry, and gain an intimate understanding that is not just limited to taste and smell. You will learn something, and you will gain something. A tasty and experience that will sate you, quietly, to a better,...

Don’t believe the negative reviews, I encourage you to give this place a try! Used to go here a decade ago and the food was always nice. I had a guest staying with me who wanted curry for dinner I was quite dubious about going here because of the bad reviews. Very happy to report takeouts last night were super delicious and the staff were so helpful. I ordered a vegetarian dish and asked for a mild heat. The lady who was on the phone apologised saying that it started from medium and suggested another dish. Had not tried that dish before and I am pleased that I branched out as it was a most pleasing taste sensation! The nans were huge and full of yummy garlic and butter. Although I had a takeaway meal, the interior looked really welcoming and I think it might have looked better than...
