The Samosas are not good as my mums, but then she is in England, but then no ones in England, India, Africa I am told by Persians, and Middle East, Pakistan, and even Eastern European people, who have made the curry thier national dish (ref to the POMS), tell my mum her samosas are the best along with her Biryanis and meat Curry. However for NZ and Kiwis, it is the best you're gonna get, outside of Leicester, (England), and India. or Africa, OK the Middle East and Pakistan. Rupas is a lovely place, great coffee. A humdinger of a place, probably the best Indian food in New Zealand period! The women who makes the butter chicken (Makhani Chicken) does a very good job better than any Tikka Masala, what we English call a rendition of (butter Chicken) even proclaiming that we Brits invented it! The coffee is the finest around Thas saying something when I have been to Paris and Italy. What attracted me to Rupas is that the place has my name coming from Blighty which is nearly 50% Indian and rising, it is rare to see East Indians in New Zealand and craving a curry. I really wanted to leave a bad review as they stole my name. but I can't, the food and service is great especially by the women with an infectious laugh, who looks like Caroline Munro. (the Bond Girl in Moonraker).The guy who is the owner looks and sounds like Nick Griffin (BNP) candidate, and he is passionates as him on Politics I found so many doppelgangers on the other side of the world. NZ is beautiful and it is ironic it is 180 degrees exactly the oppositeof GB, the country is great, the people are friendly and the food is not too far off some of the food I have found. It also ridiculously cheap in comparison to England! I just wish I had tried the NZ lamb. Oh well I'll be back! read more
