Khana is the nearest Indian takeaway to where I live, and I have to say I'm pretty glad for it…read more Although they don't compete with some of the 10 dollar main specials that some of the other local Indian restaurants in the area offer during weekdays, their standard meal price is pretty inexpensive, so you could nab a vege curry for 13 or one with meat for 15. Whats also nice about this place is their clear ethical stance that they have, as they use environmentally sustainable packaging and cleaning products where they can and each year they support a local community organisation or event. Whenever I have been, service has always been pretty efficient and the curry is ready when they say it will be - however if its not, its generally not a long wait and there are a variety of magazines provided to take a look at whilst waiting.

Now off to work and waddle around with a full belly like Augustus Gloop...

Not to mention the lunchtime special is only $10 for a curry of your choice + rice + naan bread. They serve large portions too, which often makes it a struggle to fit it all in. But you know that feeling when you know you should stop eating, but the food is just so good? That's the feeling these curries deliver. The staff are friendly; the girl who usually takes the orders is always smiling. Not the fanciest restaurant as a dine-in option, so probably not the ideal place if you're looking to impress a first date, however the food fully makes up for it.

When called after 30 mins, they started saying they included the item and blamed the driver. When I told them I understand Hindi and heard them say they forgot the item in the first call, again promised to deliver but still nothing after 15 mins. Called a 3rd but this time blatantly said they will not deliver and hung up. Not just incompetent but totally unprofessional who will reply on loopholes in the system to not fulfil their obligations. I wish there was an option to give a 0 star as 1 star feels too generous. And though out the whole process not a single sorry or any apology. Stay away.

Last night was our wedding anniversary but my bad back kept us at home. So we ordered a takeaway…read morefrom the dear old Jewel of India. And it was superb! To start with, we had the Pakora and Seekh Kebab. I don't normally like Pakora all that much... but this was delicious. The kebab was better still. Then we proceeded to a mixture of curries. The Lamb Nawabi was possibly the most delicious Indian dish I've ever eaten . The beef in the Beef Saagwala was a bit on the dry side but the spinach sauce was rich and succulent, whilst that old standby Bombay Aloo was well above average. In addition, the rice was beautifully prepared and we also enjoyed a sweet but mildly spicy Peshawari Naan. We're long standing fans of the Jewel but had been of the opinion that its best days were behind it. However, it now seems to be under new management and the food is seriously good. And this was our second delicious recent meal from there, so we know it wasn't a freak result. The servings were very generous and we'd obviously over-ordered. Not a problem as we'll enjoy the leftovers tonight! And whilst I'm on the subject of Indian food, might I suggest that those Kiwis who still insist on hogging just one dish whilst their companions hog their own, learn the error of their ways. That's NOT how you're meant to eat Indian food and you're missing out on the wonderful experience of mixing and matching your dishes.

Well if you want spices, nuts, flour, herbal stuff, organic stuff, naan bread, roti, legumes, and all at really good prices, then this is the place for you. They have nearly every nut you can think of, almonds, cashews, hazelnut, coconut, brazil nut, pistachio, small bags, medium bags, large bags, whole, blanched, ground, sliced. Looking for flour but not any ordinary flour, come here, they have gluten free - rice, potatoe, amaranth, buckwheat, Urid, soy, spelt, corn - I'm pretty sure if you are looking for it they will have it. I really could go on and on with a massive list of everything they stock here, but you really need to go and see for yourself. I would personally travel to go and stock up here. Also check out their website for recipes and information on benefits of spices in your diet.

The service isn't the friendliest, but when I went I got quick professional service, my meal came out quickly, it was really tasty and it was $10. Can't ask for more than that.

I'm pretty sure most times I go here I see someone I know who also must have had the same idea as me - a delicious curry to appease the taste buds with an accompaniment of a large amount of naan bread and rice (my mouth is in fact watering just thinking about this). Not only do they do takeaway, but if you are feeling too lazy to leave the house then they also provide free delivery services as well (I think you have to spend over a certain amount though, so I guess its free* delivery services). My favourite dish would have to be the pumpkin masala - the sauce is so delicious and because the helpings are so big, you could definitely save half of it for lunch the next day.
