You know those days when you don't feel like eating rice or potatos or sadza (traditional food) and you just want something different to have with your stew? Well that's how I feel from time to time and I find myself calling Chapati for take away naan bread. 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. I guess looks/location aren't really a factor when you are serving up deliciousness.

The last few months or so however they seem to be under new management and their food has slipped VERY BADLY... Curries are now FAR hotter than previously (medium now hotter than what was previously hot), sauces are different, different spices added and it's just not the great curry we'd come to love. That being said their service is still fantastic(REALLY REALLY GOOD actually), but we'll probably look elsewhere now. Bring back the Filipino lady that used to be the main waitress, she was your biggest asset!!! A real shame. Don't change a formula that's been working so well for years!!

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.

(to be fair, I have no idea how authentic this actually is!) Totally recommend the butter chicken, palak paneer and cheese naan. We usually get delivery because it's free if you get a couple of dishes and some naans. Sometimes we go to pick it up and I was impressed to see the new renovations lately - the restaurant is looking really good and is reasonably quiet. So if you're after a quiet night out or have children with you, this would be ideal!

I thought straight off it had to be Nameste (nee Simla) in Mt Eden. The place has moved a few premises down and has had a modern makeover. I quite liked the previous traditional place as I feel this place may be a little stark and clinical. It could probably do with some soft furnishings and art on the walls. Other than that the service was excellent and tentative. The waitress was new and young and a little inexperienced but hopefully with the coaching of the Matre D that was nearby will instil some confidence. The food was amazing, a complimentary entrée was added for us to the sizzling mixed platter we ordered. The curries were good and generous in size. One curry had meat that was a little hard and dry but they offered to replace that for me without an issue. I'll give them a bit to stock up their wine and spirits selection and get the service perfect but will definitely be back there again soon.

I find it consistently good, which is at odds with the reviewer below. I'm pretty boring though, Adrian and I always split a chicken tikka masala and a garlic naan. Don't get me wrong, I actually really enjoy trying lots of different Indian dishes, but when I crave Indian takeaway at home it's because I want tikka masala (and buttery naan). I also like the chicken tikka, but I think their onion bhaji is in the strips which I'm not a fan of. I like the pattie style version. Parking is on Mt Eden Road, so it's not great. Busy road, busy side roads. You can sometimes find parks right outside if you're lucky, or I'd head down Grange Rd for a park. Anywhere you can really. The restaurant is not big but during the week it's not super busy so I'm sure you can easily find a table. Weekends I'm not sure on. They also do free delivery locally (convenient!) but if you order online via their website, you won't get free delivery, there's an automatic charge. However, if you phone them, it's free. Totally weird, and I don't think I've ever bothered to tell them so maybe it could be fixed if I mentioned it. For a local takeaway, it's great. Really great. And last night when I was suffering with a horrible cold, the spicy, garlicky goodness was amazing.

This restaurant is a small, elegant jewel that serves extraordinary food. We shared prawn malabari curry and a lamb dish called Punjabi Saag Ghost. Both dishes were filled with exotic flavors.

The tables were all dressed with white tablecloths. The wine list was appropriate for the food served, and they also had a nice local beer selection. I would recommend Oh Calcutta without reservation.

Oh Calcutta serves good ol' fashioned curries like nowhere else I've tried. No bright red Tikka Masala's and sloppy Kormas in this joint Everything about this place makes it great. The service is always impeccable, the seats are comfortable and the food consistently delightful. The only bad thing is that I can never choose what on the menu I want to eat. It all looks just too delicious. Recommended dishes include the Sweet Chilli Chicken and the Chicken Sajahani (another way I rate Indian restaurants is by the quality of meat they use and Oh Calcutta always use tender pieces of white meat--never chewy or gristly). Honestly can't rate this place high enough. The semi-high prices are completely worth it to get such a great, unique dining experience.

The first time I ever ate a palak paneer was at the Kingsland restaurant - I always used to think the utter greenness of the dish would put me off, but it is creamy, spicy and delicious. The dal makhani is also a favourite of mine on the creaminess and deliciousness scale. Also, when I haven't got quite enough cheese into one meal, I like to add a paneer kulcha - Naan stuffed with home made Indian cottage cheese and spices - to my order. Yum!
