M.

My favorite Indian restaurant on the Shore. Service is great whether you’re dining in or takeaway. The butter chicken sauce and garlic & cheese naan is delicious 🤤

S. C.

Super delicious food with beautiful presentation. The manager named kulvinder always put extra effort to serve the customers. Highly recommend, one of the best restaurants🙂

B. C.

A little disappointed with 8848 in recent weeks. Decided to dine in with family and even though the restaurant was very quiet, we had to wait over 1 hour for our meals to be served. Got some takeaways a few weeks later, ordering our favourite dishes however the food was average at best, not up to their usual high standard sadly.

P. K.

A nice place for a quick lunch. A good place for business lunches too. Food is priced quite reasonable. Service is good. Clean bathrooms. Ambience could improve al little more. The restaurant manager Ms Kulwinder made sure we comfortable.

Excellent Indo Chinese food. We took our mats and took the takeaway to nearby takapuna beach and food was perfect for the atmosphere. The spice level is good and dumplings were more than perfect. The chutney was great too. Overall good value for money. Would highly recommend. I would revisit for sure.

M. M.

Awesome food with awesome decor. Chef Cook real yummy food and snacks. Must try their Nepalese foods and momos. I love their deck, perfect for parties 🥳 🥳

P.

Very nice qnd delicious food..specially chicken momo and manchurian was awesome...will go back again

J. P.

I have had lunch special couple times since their name change to 8848, and it has been excellent. Looking forward to contactless takeaways now that we back to lvl 3. Takapuna is lucky to have these operators.

A. K.

Amazing service and best momos in Auckland.

M. N.

First time ordering from here and it won't be the last. Food was fresh and tasty. Will be our regular haunt from now on. Highly recommend.

b. c.

Tried this place on a recommendation from one of my friends. If your a big fan of indo Chinese cuisine then this place will not disappoint. Got the chicken fried rice and chilly chicken dry for a takeaway. Taste was just awesome. A bit on the pricy side and takeaway quantity is not great, but if it's quality and flavour your looking for, you will find it here. Lots of other interesting dishes on the menu...must try again soon.

C. F.

Since the new owners took over, I can definitely see a difference! Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Will be back!

J. R.

Food is great, a close match to food we have experienced in India. Normally I don't order paneer in NZ as it is never as good as you get in India. Though the paneer at bolliwood if perfect & fresh. Would order again, definitely worth dining if you have the opportunity.

N. M.

We were expecting the old Indian restaurant we went to many years ago and got this newer, better alternative. Delicious food and fantastic service. Lovely, fresh flavours - the dishes don’t look or taste like they’re full of added colours. We’ll certainly be back.

K. E.

Great low-cost well served meals with a really nice service.

N. R.

GREAT FOOD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! YUMMY FOOD AND EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! loved it!

J. B.

STELLA. Honestly such an undervalued spot for some awesome Indian food. Do not let an empty restaurant deter you, the service is awesome and the food even better. ;-)

P.

The food was delicious and the service was so friendly and welcoming! I'm eager to visit again!

J. M.

Food was absolutely amazing!! The staff are lovely to deal with - so friendly and obliging. Had a beautiful impromptu dinner with my daughter (who absolutely loves the food!) and it was a very nice setting, lovely decor - and the Garlic Naan - WOW!! Possibly the best I have had in a very, very, long time. Thank you to the lady who served us this evening (front of house manager) - definitely going again THIS week. Thanks team - compliments to the Chef and the Kitchen team. 5 x stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

N. T. G.

Pleasantly surprised by this place! The food was very good and there was a good variety of different cuisines. Some Indian restaurants serve curries that are all 1 flavour and creamy. But not this place. Each dish had its own taste (spiced well) and they all looked different too. Highlights for us were the Chennai Express and Bhindi. Sameer was a delight, treating us like family as soon as we walked in. It would have been nice if the menu indicated what the house specialities were.

K. m.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, staff very friendly & best Indian food I've tasted

R. A.

Very nice Indian restaurant at a very convenient location. The food is really nice and tasty. The staff is very patient and attentive to one's requirements. The ambiance is nice and well maintained. The menu is well varied and decently priced too. Quality of service is great and always in acceptable time limits. Parking can be a bit difficult since there are only 2 parking spaces for the restaurant outside. Nearby on street car parks make up for that though. Overall very highly recommended.

S. S.

Some Great Service here. The Manager Kulwinder is awesome., she goes the extra mile to take care of her customers. Well Done.

M. P.

As Takapuna residents we enjoy a very good selection of Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian and Indian restaurants - this was the second time we ordered takeaway meals from 8848 and our feedback is that the Lamb Rogan Josh and the Bindi Masala were two of the best Indian dishes we have tasted - we would highly recommend the food at this restaurant and will include these dished in future orders.

B. C.

Had take-out in late March 2021 that was fantastic. The help was very friendly and the food was delicious and plentiful. Looking forward to returning!!

W. S.

Absolutely loved the clove lamb curry.nice soft lighting great staff.were left to have a nice relaxing night ,maybe a little more attention ( ask if we needed more water maybe more drinks )but definitely go back for more tasting of other curries

N. J.

Awesome food.many dishes we had not seen before, really recommend. Service was friendly and efficient.give it a go you will enjoy

T. B.

The service was a little slow but the wait was worth it. Simply the best naan I have ever eaten, stunning rice cooked to perfection. The 2 main courses were divine. And the sizzling platter for 2 was quite outstanding with chicken that melted in the mouth Will definitely be coming back.

B. D.

Awesome food! Friendly staff. We have visited this restaurant a lot and have had an excellent experience every time. New owners with a fresh take on the restaurant. Note that all the poor ratings are for Bolliwood which is the old place.

C. D.

Great food with lovely restaurant owners. The lunch special is incredible value at $12.99 for Curry, Rice, Naan, Poppadom and a drink - I make it a weekly lunch fixture!

c. p.

Such nice people and the best curry on the shore! A few nights ago I left my card at home by accident and was a few dollars short on cash; they happily gave us a small discount. Thanks Guys!

C. R.

New owner. Good when he started but now going down hill. Food was really good. Lots of talk about how well it will be. Will change name soon but Sam needs to be there to keep it going strong. Lady on front counter is very good. Other staff need more training. If they do not pick up the pace and good food it will not last.

P. L.

I do not usually write reviews, but i do read reviews before visiting a restaurant. Food was amazing and staff did pay frequent visits to the table to ensure everything was going smoothly and with water refills. 5 stars as the restaurant has been reviewing the feedbacks and implementing them according.

M. C.

Good place to have food. Ample space to have large groups. Good food.

T. D.

Great service, very clean and the food was delicious!!! Favorite Indian food restaurant in Auckland.

J. I.

We went back two nights in row as the food was so nice. Really enjoyed the Chennai Express and the Prawn dishes. Will be definitely returning.

G. H.

Wonderful restaurant. Authentic Indian cuisine.

T.

Most authentic Indian curries with nice balance of flavours unlike other Indian takeaways and restaurants where they serve fatty curries. The food takes time probably because they cook it fresh and definitely not microwaved.

S. K.

Great food! One main can be shared. We often get tika masala and it’s always great! You can get done in, take away and delivery. Great service. Hard to find parking during weekdays.

V. S.

Good food, great ambience. Freshness of ingredients and service are two areas of improvement. Overall great value for money!

E. W.

Amazing food and great service! They were super accommodating towards my dietary requirements and went out of their way to make me a delicious curry

R. I.

On the 4th March 2014 I ordered a simple butter chicken for delivery. They had my address and had delivered to the address before. The order took an extraordinarily long time to arrive and I had to place about half a dozen phone calls to be told that "it was on its way". Long story short it arrived just over half an hour late. The garlic naan was terrible and tasted plain. A complaint to the restaurant elicited plenty of hand wringing but had to be pressed to make some sort of amends. The manager mumbled something about a discount on my next order which I thought kind of strange given that the likelihood of me placing another order had diminished substantially! I decided to give them another chance this evening and the manager had no recollection of speaking to me, to their credit they did honour their commitment that they made on the previous order.

A. L.

Always reliably delicious and food is perfect every time. Friendly staff for those dining in, have gone here for years and never been let down.

T.

Great service and food. Had problems with our order through Uber Eats and the staff were great trying to sort it out. Would highly recommend and definitely be eating here again.

J.

Easily one of the best restaurant in Auckland. Food is delicious and the flavours are out of control. Specially butter chicken . Hara bara kabab is raw inside and tasteless .

K.

Delivery boy is handsome and delicious food i have ever ate.

J. A.

Went for lunch and tried the chicken korma which was delicious. Good quantity and very satisfying. However the restaurant can better their ambience

A. G.

Food is Ok,worth while trying!!!. Not that what you love to have each weekend. Occasionally Yes. Menun is diverse. One thing to improve is serving style. Sometime I observed meal are scattered across plate (lunch especial)

F. F.

Bolliwood takapuna- Three stars because the food was good otherwise one star for the cleanliness.. tables outside Needed a wiped down and received dirty plates .was disgusted when The lady just flicked something off my daughters plate then walked off instead off offering us clean plates.

C. S.
