Not to mention the lunchtime special is only $10 for a curry of your choice + rice + naan bread. They serve large portions too, which often makes it a struggle to fit it all in. But you know that feeling when you know you should stop eating, but the food is just so good? That's the feeling these curries deliver. The staff are friendly; the girl who usually takes the orders is always smiling. Not the fanciest restaurant as a dine-in option, so probably not the ideal place if you're looking to impress a first date, however the food fully makes up for it.

When called after 30 mins, they started saying they included the item and blamed the driver. When I told them I understand Hindi and heard them say they forgot the item in the first call, again promised to deliver but still nothing after 15 mins. Called a 3rd but this time blatantly said they will not deliver and hung up. Not just incompetent but totally unprofessional who will reply on loopholes in the system to not fulfil their obligations. I wish there was an option to give a 0 star as 1 star feels too generous. And though out the whole process not a single sorry or any apology. Stay away.

Undoubtedly my household gets more takeaways from here than anywhere else; in fact, I reckon I probably eat the Dal Fry and Paneer Tikka Kebab at least once a fortnight. It's my top choice for week night low carb eating as it's cheap, spicy and delicious. The first thing that I should mention about Dosa PLaza is that it's fully vegetarian and calls itself "Indian fast food". What that means to you and I is that the shop is a shiny vision of yellow and red happiness that reminds me of Chicken Spot in the 80s. The staff wear jolly hats and uniforms and the dine-in area is plentiful but basic. The menu is extensive to say the least and if you're unfamiliar with the full range of Indian cuisine then visit the website first for full descriptions and enough photos to give you an idea of what to expect. If you have never tried Dosa then you are missing out. Basically an Indian pancake, it is served flatbread or pizza style with added ingredients (Uttapa), or filled and rolled like a crepe (Number 77 Paneer Salad Roast Dosa with Cheese is our pick). As you can see, the names can be somewhat confusing, but half the excitement here is trying something new. However if you are particularly change-resistant, you can still order a curry, rice and naan from the Punjabi Plaza; again, the choice is comprehensive. I do have to admit however to having my limits. I love the Mexican style dosas but am yet to sample the Indo-Chinese menu items or Chopsuey Plaza. I also have never managed to leave enough space for the Sweet Plaza items although the Milk Kheer (Payasam) which is sugar, vermicelli, cardamon and coarsely crushed almonds boiled in milk sounds.... intriguing? The staff are more than happy to help you decode the mysteries of the menu and I can't recommend this style of cuisine enough. Its fusion style is perfect for Kiwi palates and depending on what you order, it doesn't have to be sinful. The Butter Paneer is frickin good though if you are in need of a ghee-soaked food coma. Always fresh and always friendly, if you are not lucky enough to live close by then take the kids and eat in. If you like Indian food this is guaranteed to be a new regular favourite.

I tried several places in Auckland, tried my hand at cooking Indian at home only to result in mediocrity. That is until Curry King became our local. It is probably some of the cheapest Indian takeaway in Auckland, but don't let that mislead you to think that it is sub-par. In fact the reasonable prices seem to make the curry a bit more flavorful and the naan just a little bit warmer. I recommend the Madras, Vindaloo, and Keema (lamb mince) naan. If you're really keen you can ask for 'Indian Hot'. Plus you can order online and there's free delivery in a generous area (I think it's about a 5km radius TBC).

Consistently friendly service too.

I was expecting sort of run of the mill butter chicken like you'd expect from a cheap place like this. So I was so surprised to be absolutely stoked with my meal! It was awesome!! Nice and creamy and delicious and the naan bread was great too! I couldn't really believe it... I went away and told all my friends about it. The only thing is, the next time I came along (with my friends who I'd raved about the curry to) it wasn't quite as good. It was still very yummy but not the crazy delectable meal I'd had before. Still very satisfying. And great for cheap curry! Super quick too!

My impression was that the food was good, considering that this is a pretty modest and no-frills place. Certainly not the best curry I've had, but quite satisfying. The butter chicken was the better of the two mains ~ buttery, just like it says on the box, and generally pleasing. The tikka didn't agree with me so much, but then again none of the dishes were really familiar to me and I was shooting in the dark in terms of my choices. The 'fried onion thingies' were a tad soggy, but good on the whole; the samosas weren't the best. Service was really friendly. I think the fellow even undercharged me for the sides, because looking at the 'fried onion thingies,' I'd thought they were quite large (and hence that there were only a few left in the cabinet) and so I told him to just give me everything that was there. Only later did I realize there were like 10 of them, and yet he only charged me I think $8 for all the sides, even though the 'fried onion thingies' were $1 each and the samosas $2 each.

The second visit to Sagar in Birkenhead, was a takeout meal, as I wanted to sample if they could out do our fave village curry restaurant. I ordered Butter Chicken, and Lamb Rogan Josh, and ofcourse poppadoms, and garlic naan to accompany. The dishes were both aromatic and spicy with flavour however seemed to lack the tidy slices of meat we always had from our other local. Instead I had large chunks of meat, which kind of put me off eating the meals. The Garlic Naan was huge! When I say massive I am not exaggerating at all. I could not tell whether we were just over served in size or if this was the norm. I just think that they did very well with the spices and amount of food; however I think they could better in presentation and slices of meat.

I grew up in a meat and three vege family so my earliest experience of eating Indian food was when…read moremy uncle used to take my cousins and I to an all you can eat Indian Restaurant in Dunedin. My cousins were rugby players and we were all poor students so we loved it but I've got admit the food wasn't great - super heavy, sugar laden curries. A far cry from what you'll get at Satya. For starters, Satya is a South Indian restaurant so the curries are a lighter style with a thinner sauce, generally made with coconut. But on top of this their curries are made with a certain finesse - no heavy hands here - instead a delicate balance of spices, without all the sugar! Their menu is extensive and for someone like me, who is no expert, it can be intimidating. Luckily, two of our dining companions had travelled extensively throughout India and guided us through the ordering process. We ordered several dishes to share. My favourites were the Dahi Puri entrée - delicious bit sized morsels of potato & chickpea with tangy tamarind chutney and yoghurt on a crispy chickpea cracker - and the eggplant coconut with potato, green peas and ginger. To be honest, I don't think you could go too far wrong no mater what you ordered. Because there is so much to try Satya is best enjoyed with a group, plus it's BYO and they take bookings! It may be more expensive that your typical Indian takeaway but trust me, it's worth it!

I wanted the Tikka Banaras they offered in the chicken dish section and asked if they could make it with lamb. They said this was easy to do, but when eating my dish I'm pretty sure they just gave me a standard lamb Butter Curry because the sauce tasted nothing like the ingredients listed. The dish did have a lot of meat pieces within it though, both large chunky pieces and mini pulled pieces floating around. My husband got a dish listed as a "special Rogan Josh" that we didn't recognize from the other Indian places, but same thing it tasted just like the general Tikki Marsala Curry we've had before. So I feel like they really tried to specialize themselves but they were pretty standard. In addition, they don't throw in naan or cucumber sauce. So I wish we could have gone back to a previous Indian place (check out my other reviews)

It is so fresh and delicious, it tastes like it's come out of the oven rather than out of a sealed supermarket bag! This is a surprising for a place that is next to a dairy and a seedy looking motel.

The last few months or so however they seem to be under new management and their food has slipped VERY BADLY...
