The samosas were quite large but perfect to share between two people; they also had excellent flavor. The garlic naan and mango lassi paired well with everything we ordered.

The chicken had a nice spice, the rice had the proper fluff... the food was just great. Another reviewer complained of dry naan - maybe he bad luck? Not only did I think this was good, but the receptionist at my hotel recommended this place, and she is Indian and said she always prefers Indian food. I don't think she would steer me wrong! If you're in the moody or Indian, definitely consider this place. And try the mango lassi - it was one of the best ones I've ever had!

Boasting enormous, high ceilings, a relaxing fountain and happy Bollywood tunes, it's hard not to get up and dance around the restaurant. Yet the waft of delicious herbs and spices soon brings you back to thinking about your empty stomach. The Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken dishes are some of the best I've had, with the mild providing enough kick for most tasters. For the more adventurous, Punjabi goes all the way to Indian Hot. That's sure to help you remember the experience for a few days, as you'll taste nothing else but Rogan Josh!

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.

The venue is lovely; an renovated villa done up beautifully with a verandah for outdoor dining and a long bar inside. It's really spacious so you're not wedged up next to the couple at the next door table. There's plenty to choose from on the wine menu, and the food menu doesn't disappoint either, with plenty of the Kiwi curry favourites & a few more exotic flavours too. The Tandoori platter was a great start, with plenty to feed three of us & lovely succulent chicken. The flavours of the curry were great - we didn't go too spicy as it's always wise to play it safe the first time you visit a new curry house. You'd be pretty safe with medium at Masala I think. All-in-all, it was a really good spot to enjoy a cheap & tasty Monday night meal out. The $10 main special they are running at the moment makes it friendly on the pocket too!

The food is very authentic and has that real homemade taste, not like some other nasty Indian takeaways. Their food is just wonderful, I haven't tried everything yet, but I eventually will. But we have tried the Butter chicken (as you do), Lamb Korma, Paneer Saagwala, Chicken Biryaani, Tikka Masala, Vegetable Jalfrezy and most of the naans, I have to say every single one of these dishes is just as tasty as the next. The only thing they don't do and I wish they did is the Whole Tandoori Chicken. I had a bunch of friends over one night and we ordered about 8 dishes and everyone was raving about it, and there was nothing left, every last morsel had been eaten !! Either they were hungry or the food was just so great. This Indian also does not give me a sore stomach like some others that I have tried. If you are in or near the area do not hesitate to try Curry Sutra - Indian Soul Fuel.

The second visit to Sagar in Birkenhead, was a takeout meal, as I wanted to sample if they could out do our fave village curry restaurant. I ordered Butter Chicken, and Lamb Rogan Josh, and ofcourse poppadoms, and garlic naan to accompany. The dishes were both aromatic and spicy with flavour however seemed to lack the tidy slices of meat we always had from our other local. Instead I had large chunks of meat, which kind of put me off eating the meals. The Garlic Naan was huge! When I say massive I am not exaggerating at all. I could not tell whether we were just over served in size or if this was the norm. I just think that they did very well with the spices and amount of food; however I think they could better in presentation and slices of meat.

For the ultimate in convenience, you can now place your orders online at www.thecurryvillage.co.nz…read more This ordinary shop frontage on the mighty Hillsborough Road is home to a great little Indian takeaway, some seating available in the restaurant if you really wanted to eat in. Owner operators Kusmakhar Bhattarai and his wife Tikakala moved here from Nepal in the early 2000s run this business and they know their Indian cuisine. They are hard workers and are really proud to serve up authentic Indian flavours, along with Nepalese specialties which are made to order. What adds to the authenticity is that their Tandoori oven has been imported directly from India so this ensures the Naan bread is cooked to perfection - I can vouch for that; and that the Tandoor dishes are tasty.

The mini banquet is great value for money, no only do you get two delicious starts but you can pick any two dishes for your mains, two naan bread and they even throw in an extra cheeky naan bread when you spend over $35. More often than not, my wife and I chose the chicken sagwala and chicken tikka masala, both of which are delicious. You really cannot fault the service at The Curry Village. I have been a fan of this place for quite a few years and despite the change of staff over that time, the service has always been of the highest order. There are a few tables to dine in if you wish, but we always take away, even if that does mean completing a round trip from Papatoetoe before we can get stuck into the delicious food :)

The food is pretty good and authentic to its style origins which is pleasing. There are some downfalls of course. While the wait staff are genuine and nice, the service is pretty off putting, there is some major disorganisation happening in this place, like staff not really sure with what dish is going where. And the table service is definitely lacking. Also the decor is so average its barely worth a mention, but I find that a lot of Asian cuisine places don't really prioritise the fancy decor thing so I didn't mind. I would go here if you are after some nice Asian cuisine for an affordable price, and aren't too bothered by table service etc. Don't expect fine dining - be realistic and you will enjoy.
