Don't be alarmed if you get there early and are all alone within 30 minutes there was not a seat to be had. And when we left people were waiting!!! We ordered the Mura likka Maknanwaala which was a great chicken curry in a tomato butter sauce. It was accompanied by a great saffron rice. The flavors were perfect. Tender chicken and a great little spice. The naan that we arrived was fresh, warm and soft. Great with the chicken curry. Order also consisted of an order of the tandoori grilled Lamb Chop in a Masala sauce. The presentation was nice. However, think the lamb chop could have been seared a bit more. No tandoori taste. The chops had much more fat that could have used the searing to make them better. Would not order them again. Would definitely return and order the other things we did. Service was a bit slow but very nice and friendly. Recommend if you need some Indian food.

Located in the middle of the action at the city center of Queenstown, New Zealand, this place is…read morecharming and has a wonderful view of the lake from inside the restaurant.

I almost gave them 3 stars because I LOVE my wine. I asked for a Syrah that they didn't have so I switched to a Pinot Noir. I asked them they'd opened it, it was yesterday. Didn't bother me. However my wine was hints of vinegar that says- you opened the bottle and left it at room temperature that wasn't cold to store it well. When I pointed it out midway to my host- he quickly offered to replace my glass with a new opened bottle. Man that wine was so much better (even though it wasn't aired out). The hospitality in understanding how wine changes a meal for me even though the people serving wine here aren't wine drinkers is admirable. Coming back to the food- delicious flavors, every entree shines. The tandoor roti was smoky goodness made to perfection. A single roti comes equivalent to 1.5-1.45 rotis of other restaurants so having a bang for your buck is critical. I walked in thinking I'll eat a quarter of roti and here I am wiping my plate clean. Absolutely great!

We had a mango chicken that while could have come through a bit stronger on the mango was overall very very tasty, nice creamy base and spices and herbs well balanced. Cheese naan is great too. About $3-6 extra per dish than most comparable local Indian places but worth it I would say. Drinks and naan are about standard prices.

I'm not aware of there being an elevator anywhere. maybe there is one. I am not sure. My group ordered our food. It didn't come fast but it didn't take a long time. I ordered the lamb biryani "Indian hot". I thought the dish was very good. I really liked the fact that there was a lot of lamb! The dish wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but the spice was definitely there. It was probably the perfect spice level for me, so I guess maybe if you like spice don't be deterred from getting "Indian hot". And I very much like spice. The biryani was also very hot as in steaming when it arrived. I also tried some butter chicken which was also very good. the service was very good too. Overall, the restaurant was great. I would definitely recommend.

Birds kept trying (and succeeding!) to steal some white rice, but didn't seem interested in the flavored rice that came with my lamb. They were cute so it's hard to stay mad.

The food quality wasn't up to standard with the price, which I think was about $75 USD. There were just 3-4 BBQ options, and sushi wasn't even worth being called sushi. The 2 types of soups were just bad. Salad choices were also lacking. Just very few options over all, and those few options weren't premium in qualities. Another downside is, they will seat you at the 1 exact time slot, which is the one on your reservation. Even without reservations, there will just be that 1 time slot or 2. So even if you finish your activities early, you will still have to wait a fair bit of time before getting seated for dinner. We were famished. Another thing was, parking down the hill was VERY expensive. No cap at $25 like on their website. We paid more than $40 for parking.
