Bolliwood Xpress: Indian Takeaway — Restaurant in Whau

Alright, Bollywood Xpress. Listen up, folks! We've got pocket-friendly rates on the menu, none of that Sandringham pricing that'll have your wallet shedding tears. Whatever, let's dive right into flavour and texture! We're talking Samosa Chaat! Two golden samosas, fried to crispy perfection, tangy tamarind chutney, drenched with cool yogurt, and a sprinkle of spices. Sweet, spicy, & sour all doing the tango in your mouth. It's a flavour dance party. Then, enter the Delhi-style Butter Chicken—chicken pieces luxuriating in a creamy tomato-based gravy, like they’re chillin’ in a jacuzzi of flavour. You catch a subtle whiff of smokiness, adding depth, and those fenugreek leaves? They bring a unique touch that elevates the whole experience. And let's not forget the ultimate wingman, the Garlic Naan. This bad boy is all about that perfect char, slathered generously with garlic goodness. Swooping in to save the day, ensuring no drop of that velvety butter chicken gravy goes to waste. In conclusion, Bollywood Express sets the stage for warm ambiance in your mouth and it’s those special touches that keep me coming back for more. Oh, and if you’re feeling vege, hit that Matar Paneer!...

Have had the butter chicken and naan here quite a few times in the past year. Previously the portions have been really good and the sauce nice and thick, however the last two orders we have made here have been lacking.

The previous two orders we have made here have had watery sauce and not a strong flavour, it literally feels like they have just added water to the original sauce to make it go further. A medium size butter chicken was previously enough for 3 servings, however the amount of meat in the portion has been reduced as well.

Our total order is 2 naan and a medium sized mild butter chicken for $31, this price was reasonable given the quality we were used to, however with the current quality of the food it's no longer worth it.

Hoping the owners see this review so they can revert back to the old portions and sauce, we will come back probably again in a maybe a couple months time to see if anything has changed and edit this review to reflect.

If not we will find another local place...

Food is good but need to learn customer service and how to communicate over phone. Tried to call few times but only picked up call after like 4 attempts. Just wanted to ask why it has taken more than 45 minutes for my food delivery , the lady on phone didnt even listen whole sentence and hung up. The same lady came to deliver and i asked her to be polite and courteous over phone and not to hang up without completing conversation. She called back in next 10 minutes to ask my address again, i said you already delivered the food and she just hung up straight up. Not sure if they even know how to deal with customer....will think twice to even order again from here. Also the menu price is different on Menu Log and the guy quoted me different price, i told him that is in the website but he would just not agree. i showed the website prices to delivery girl but still no apology or even a word sorry. Hope their business lasts with such behavior....
