Wish we had such an Indian food gem in Traverse City. Lamb/chicken tikka/butter chicken flavorful and tender meat. Few veggie dishes top notch. Parartha and naan just perfect. Cheese chilli naan was spicy and so good. My tikka kiwi hot couod have used more spice was the only complaint but the cheese chilli naan made it all work very well. We all would eat here again.

A starter of DRY BEEF was okay - lacked punch, could have used a good dose of LIME JUICE maybe...and for that kind of price, a healthier serving? Two Mains: 1/ lamb curry coconut base best of evening's offering, chilly sauce served on the side, as one of us likes it spicy t'other mild - was pungent and fresh - good for dipping the KALLAPAM pancake, a regional coconut flour spongy side dish..... and the dish we were MOST looking forward to ...... 2/ DUCK Masala... as we brought along a special Martinborough Pinot Noir to accompany it.... AND earlier reviews sang it's praises.... we wanted THIS one to be special - okay - the sauce was piquant....and presentation on a leaf in a nice round dish was pretty. -accompanied by sweet white onion slices crispy - and a foil to the chili sweet red sticky MORISH sauce. BIG letdown was the limp duck leg cooked many hours earlier tough tiny serving of protein for a big price = instant loss of 2 stars. staff were students at local UNI stuck in country after lockdown, communication okay - lovely genuinely nice people. Unprofessional / unremarkable service at the price point. Decoration is functional fairly tidy. Value for $ 'average' at best' 36 bucks a head x 2 for smallish amounts of decent, but NOT cheffy quality food. 3.2 on the yelp meter. a 'qualified' thumbs up - okay - rating pics to follow in due course

Early dinner for two in Newtown neighborhood of Wellington, nation's capital…read more We chose Yelp reviewed Indian restaurant, Curry Heaven, on Riddiford St. rather than an unknown. As stated by earlier postings, it's a tiny mom n pop shop. Really friendly lovely staff. Clean and welcoming we were 1st in at 5pm opening time. Ordered two 2 Mains: Saagwala chicken medium hot and goat curry mild, comes with basmati rice. And an onion kulcha ( flatbread) 15 minute wait, food is brought to table for hungry diners. Flatbread is star dish, beautifully fluffy light onion potato mix steamy centre, a treat. Green spinach saagwala with deftly cooked boneless chicken thigh is good, correct spice level, rice is okay, though we barely touched it. Very boney cubes of underdone goat in a lovely tasty brown gravy featured in 2nd Main. (one CUBE of pure bone, cut on a butcher's band saw? surprised us We tried and failed to eat any of it, did GNAW through another little piece, left the rest). When server asked: ' is everything ok?' (To his credit he seemed genuinely concerned, and we had a little discussion on cooking techniques and quality) Long time, low slow heat, quality of meat etc... their new supplier with whom they are not particularly happy.... Consensus reached, server offered to remove and replace. We replied, thanks but no thanks we loved what we did eat, it's getting on, gotta keep moving... just the bill please, paid and departed. Rating for this forum: 4 star class for everything save the inedible (no charge) but minus one leaves a solid 3 on the yelp meter. We believe this was a hiccupp in an otherwise quality driven family biz. Would return. Recommended when y'all find yerself in Newtown Wellington.

This place offers good option of veggies, chicken & lamb. Indian food-tends to be spicy ( of course you can ordered it spicier), but be aware that IF you order mild, you'll def get mild, which takes away from the full flavor. I would highly recommend ordering medium spice to get full flavor of whatever you order. Overall, we enjoyed the chicken tikka Masala, veggie dish, onion & garlic naans and basmati rice was good... could use a bit more flavor.
