I Village at Victoria

Firstly, I am impressed by the ambience and the nicely decorated walls and ceiling. They even have the plow cart at the entrance. Secondly, the food was delicious with good presentation. Their chicken tandoori starter was super yummy and the meat was tender. I loved everything especially with the coconut rice and naan. Karan, the cocktail expert, served us 3 wonderful drinks, which were all amazing! Prices are a bit higher but the quality is topnotch. Worth paying for it. I will definitely return here with other friends and family.

Definitely our favourite Indian restaurant. The service impeccable, the staff are just great friendly and helpful, they know their food, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere pleasant and warm. From start to finish the experience is spot on. Tonight we had the Gol Gapa, Gilafi Seekh Kebab, Lamb Madeas and the waiter surprised me with a traditional chicken curry that’s not on the menu, and holy moly! It was outstanding! I don’t know how these guys make the sauces that accompany some of the dishes but they are A-MAZING!!! The chilli the sweetness, everything is perfectly balanced. I can’t rave enough about the food here. If you want a great Indian experience with amazing service go and see these guys.

I visited this place for a business lunch with my team today, and it was a fantastic experience. The cost was $49 per person for a three-course meal, and the portions were generous. We all had a great time! The curries were outstanding, and they thoughtfully adjusted the menu to accommodate our vegetarian team member. The starters were delicious, especially the skewered chicken and the unique snacks with sauce - I can’t remember their names, but they were a highlight. For the main course, we sampled five different curries, and with eight of us, we were able to try all the options on the menu. Desserts were equally impressive. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. Highly recommended!

Absolutely Disgusting Experience – Never Again! Some places truly don’t deserve a second chance. The first time I ordered takeout, I found multiple animal hairs in my lamb curry—completely unacceptable and revolting. The manager was apologetic at the time and gave me a $50 voucher as compensation, so I decided to give them another shot. Big mistake. I went back and placed a $119 takeaway order, expecting at least a decent experience this time. What I got instead was tasteless, smelly food that was beyond disappointing. The so-called butter chicken was especially offensive—before my order, the manager told me it would be made with pre-cooked chicken. What I received was bland, boiled, white chicken dumped in sauce—nothing like what butter chicken should be. Most of the food was inedible and ended up in the bin. The experience was not only a complete waste of money, but also a huge letdown in terms of quality and integrity. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. They clearly haven’t learned from their mistakes. Absolutely unacceptable.

One of the best authentic indian restaurant at Auckland. Anyone would fall in love with place and the ambience.

Been back today for my birthday. My friends and family were all impressed by the selection of food owner Dimple specially organized for us. Thank you Dimple and your great crew! Always great authentic Indian food. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Great ambiance and decor. Has kept their standards A+. Highly recommendable. Always the place we take visitors from overseas to.

Came in a big group, we had the tasting menu, which was $70pp. The night started with a bang, the Bullets were really good, then the Chicken Botti Tikka came and these 2 were amazing, I highly recommend it, except it was kind of hard to share the Chicken Tikka with 3 people. The first 2 items made a great first impressions but unfortunately I felt that's where the high ended and when the main came out it kind of fizzled out. We had the Butter Chicken, Lamb Saagwala, Balti Dum Goat and Dhal. All the above tasted really good but unfortunately the curry lacked any meat. We had to share between 4 people at our table and we had enough for 1 meat each from each of the mains. The garlic naan looked good, full of garlic but couldn't taste it. Not sure if this is a good thing or not but once again the Naan was nice but just disappointed I couldn't taste any garlic taste with the amount of garlic they sprinkled on the naan. Overall food was tasty, service was great (except the place could do with more light, I get ambience but it was just too dark for my liking). Disappointed with the serving content of the mains, one piece of meat each to share between 4 people is not great! Was it worth the $70pp price tag? No Ordering a la carte instead of a set menu may be a better option next time.
