We were looking for Indian food in Christchurch a very long drive and the best reviewed place…read moreseemed to be Mumbaiwala, when we entered it was a Friday evening and it was very busy! To get to the entrance, you have to park in the garage attached to the building and walk down. When we entered we were seated and given menus. The ambiance was so cool and very unique. it mimicked a train station in India, there were posters, lighting, accordingly. When I used the restroom I had to take a video- they even got the noise of a train restroom in India blasting in the restroom. When I ordered I specifically wanted mild food so I specified mild and the waitress explained it's already mild- when I heard that I knew I was in trouble because Indian food mild is spicy to me. I got the dahi puri which was spicer than my liking but flavored well. They also had some drinks and mocktails which look good but I didn't order. I marked this as a 3/5 because the customer service isn't the best, because we know Hindi I overheard a new staff waitress getting yelled at by the owner for messing up and didn't seem the most professional. Recommend for spicy Indian food! Check out the restrooms- super cool concept!

The butter chicken was rich and creamy without being overly sweet, and the naan was fresh and fluffy -- straight out of the tandoor. Service was fast, friendly, and the portions were generous for the price. Plenty of vegetarian options too, which is always a win. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

The service was great, very attentive and checked in with us during our dining. We had the chickpea vegetarian recommended dish, saag prawns, garlic naan and spicy pickles. One let down was I found the dishes not spicy enough even tho we asked for medium and I would have like more intensity in the flavour. I gave a 4 because of the whole experience and not just the meal.

The 17.50 butter tikka masala was quite good and they made it with paneer instead of chicken by request, which I appreciated.
