However, by the time we got there we were super hungry so we ended up eating half of it there! Food was affordable and really delicious. It was just the right amount of spice. The naan was really amazing as well. It was soft and properly cooked. Dal Makhani was really good too. The customer service was good and they were pretty quick packing the food for us. Restaurant was busy. Just a note to the people who don't live in NZ; most restaurant closes early. So, please make sure you get there in time.

We were the only ones at the restaurant and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. We ordered a Saag Paneer, Dal Makhni, garlic naan and Peshwari naan. Plus a kulfi at the end. More people walked in for take out as well as sit in.

Their fish tandoori was incredible. The fish was so tender and cooked perfectly. The texture was just right and the green sauce it came with made it that much better. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a bit spicy as well. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Indian medium spicy and it was just the right amount of spicy for me. The chicken was soft and tender and the curry sauce itself was very flavorful. It came with a good portion of rice and I had the garlic cheese naan on the side. I drove an hour out of my way on my road trip because I was craving Indian food, and this place definitely did not disappoint. I will stop by again for sure when I am back in the area. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They have awesome music videos playing which adds to the overall atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated very tastefully and the bathrooms were nice and clean. Overall I recommend Sangam Indian Cuisine for anyone craving delicious Indian food like I was!

In any event, I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic date night or any other such occasion where you are looking for atmosphere (in addition to good food). Clearly, there was no professional decorator put to work in this place. However, if you can get past the mundane decor, the food was actually really good. We started with veggie samosas, which were warm and cripsy with a tasty tamarind dipping sauce. I also ordered up a mango lassi, because it was really hot outside and I wanted something cool and refreshing to drink. It was a little thicker consistency than ones I've had in the past, but it did not disappoint me. I had the dal fry, medium spicy. It was delicious and spiced just right. My husband asked for chicken vindaloo, "hot spicy." The server asked, "Indian spicy?" and my husband said, "Yes." Now, usually, he is still disappointed with the level of heat. However, he commented over and over that this vindaloo was "just right" in spice level and really tasty. I am not an eater of food that spicy, and he tells me sometimes restaurants over spice at the expense of flavor. This was not the case here. We will definitely come back here. Again, not for an special occasion, but when we're in the mood for good Indian food.

To your right is a nice Bar with seating and a takeaway waiting area plus garden, and to your left a large, airy, uncluttered formal dining area with somewhat 'chunky' dining tables and side chairs well laid out with good table separation and there also good disabled/ wheelchair access throughout. The service is genuinely friendly and good, plus the Menu is varied and typically what one would find in a Uk Curry House, except that here you can vary the strength of your curry dish at will IE: a Milder or hotter Madras rather than a too bland Korma. My meal , a lunchtime special of Madras chicken with rice and Nan bread cost just $ 10.00 and was well presented and tasted really wonderful, quite a surprise in fact, just like home..Just proves that what the restaurant spends of 'fitting out' with expensive furniture and fittings, when the most important Ingredient is the Chef.. and here they have got the balance just right..
