Reviews of Empress of India

n.

Just opposite to BP on the other side of the road. Customer service is good?? Tht u will find out. But for me, was just very average. If you are after Indian food after 9pm, this is one of the few options around Manurewa. But they close by 10pm.. But food taste ok

J.

Indian food is one of my fave comfort food so I tried to buy some dishes here on my way home from work. Customer service is okay-ish, the place is quite busy around the time i dropped by, waiting time is reasonable too. Food, uhm, not the type you will always go back to. Cleanliness of the place needs to be pointed out too. Overall, there's a lot of room for improvement to this place.

I.

Consistently good food when it comes to mains and starters. Thai options are good too. Good portion size and flavour some. Breads need improvement as sometimes on thicker side.

M.

Ordered main course for a party at home. Rogan Josh and chicken Tikka masala were awesome. Daal fry was also good. Kadai paneer was a bit sweet.

A.

Very affordable for huge quantity. Very yummy food and whenever we pass by we can't resist the smell of the food. Manchurian is so yummy, our favorite. Best takeaway food we've come across.

B.

Enjoyed my meal very tasty my only gripe is the guy at the till was lacking in customer service he never paid any attention to us was talking to another person pointed at the till we paid he then went back to his conversation

G.

Their Garlic Naan bread is amazing.. I was waiting for my laundry to dry, ducked over and picked up 2.. They are huge.. and made fresh too.. I sat and watched as the kitchen hand kneaded the dough, slapped it out to shape, and then smacked it on the wall of the Tandoor. Came out hot, with plenty of garlic.. Yum..

V.

Favourite place for curry in South Auckland! My friend and I have been here a few times now and every vegetarian curry I've ordered has been super yummy, paneer is flavourful with nice texture, and the fresh naan is great. Lady behind the counter was also happy to fill up my water bottle with cold water, which I appreciate. Cheap too, can't fault it :)

L.

I had chicken tandoori, it was great and loved the yogurt dressing that came with the salad thanks

M.

Love the food here. Awesome prices, have been popping in here on and off for years

M.

Love this place. First time here wont be the last. Buttered chicken just the way i love it. Naan bread cooked fresh. Great service. Perfect. Curries served sweet and spicy to hot and spicy. Family friend and affordable. The curry combos are $15 and ate delicious. Included are naan bread and drink.

D.

Nice lil eatery specialising in Indian and Thai dishes. Have only had 1 dish from here so cant rate the restaurant as a whole based on that 1 dish which was the Butter Chicken. Was a bit sweet for my liking but the serving was good. Naan bread saved this dish. Had Curry puffs and Spring rolls for sides. These were nice and tasty. Will have to try other dishes which may determine me changing my rating here.

K.

Disappointed with the way of service and food quality here, ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken was very dry and overcooked.

B.

Best Takeaways in Auckland. Good Food but little unorganized!!

M.

The best place for Indian food.. just love it

N.

Normally I get a really nice butterchicken from here but this time (maybe because they were busy) I was less impressed, after a couple of mouth fulls I had to stop eating it as all I could taste was sugar. Unsure if it was my taste buds I got my husband to have some and he felt like he was eating sugar!

g.

always consistent, quick and friendly people...my go to indian takeaway whenever I'm down south.

A.

This place was packed hardly place to sit. I can see why after tasting the food it was delicious and price is reasonable. They have indian, thai and Chinese food. Cant wait to try other dishes.

M.

Good quality food and always on time value for money

S.

Great butter chicken, but the customer service overall is bad! Their refrigerator for drinks is ridiculously filthy.... I only return here because of husbands requests for butter chicken, but my personal preference is a big NO...

A.

I don't go to any other place for my butter chicken, they even out extra sauce on the rice too hahhaha no complaint from me, I think and know this place is nice and reliable for some good butter chicken. The staff are always nice too

Y.

Worth a trip for the butter chicken and a nanny bread alone. Usually skeptical bout places that do 2 different cuisines but have also had the thai chicken satay, very nice.

R.

Food is always good. My husband's favourite spot cos they do have a variety of food. Has good prices and good portion sizes. There is a reasonable size seating area to enjoy your food. Only give it 4 stars for atmosphere, as the shop needs a spruce up. A bit run down. But it won't stop us from coming back, that's how good it is.

D.

Pretty meke kai ,would definitely come back here

E.

This place is absolute legitness to the fullest. In other words it makes the best butter chicken, chicken Tika Masala and garlic Naan that has ever hit my palate. If you live in the south auckland region I would in doubt recommend going to this place. The service is also top notch facility!😁

S.

Me and my partner go to this place regularly. Chicken kadahi is our favourite and we order it every time we go to this place. This place is a little gem and I would highly recommend it. Prices are low and quality of food is very good. We loved our dinner tonight as usual. Thank u empress of India.

j.

I love your food but butter paneer tonight was not just mild it was super sweet, mild does not mean adding half kg sugar in it. Please consider making it mild instead of sweet so we can actually enjoy it.

A.

A hidden gem of great food. Serving is great for it's price and really good too.

L.

This is our go to place when we want curry. However Iam not fond of the chicken pieces in the curry because sometimes they are dry & overcooked so I normally just get the sauce. The flavours are really good and the fresh nan is delish.

K.

fantastic people, fantastic food and fantastic price. we order almost every week. we have tried only indian food but its one of the best value for money around town. they recently renovated the place so ots much better now to sit and eat with family and kids. plenty of parking space and other facilities around. a petrol pump is across the street. HIGHLY recommended 😊

R.

You dont come here for the decor, you come here for the FOOD!! This is one of those rare gems that actually does both Thai and Indian food well. Our family has been getting our weekly takeaways here for years and the food never faults. Firm favourites are the Chicken Jalfrezi, Lamb Madras, Pad Thai and of course the Garlic & Cheese Naans. Please never change!

D.

My wife and I went to The Empress (Empress of India) tonight 16/3/2020. We had a generous helping of Pakora, with delicious Tamarind sauce. Then we ordered Malai Kofta (hot) and Palak Paneer (hot). They both came out with great flavor and the best heat we’ve had since touching down in New Zealand. We would highly recommend The Empress to any true fans of Indian cuisine.

D.

OMG their curry is the best we have had. I had butter chicken and partner had chicken korma. It was delicious and the service also great. Will definitely go back again. Love the naan too.

J.

By far the best tasting curries we've ever had, and that's from an Englishman. We actually travel specifically to get our takeouts from here. If you haven't been here, do it. You won't be disappointed.

V.

Yummy food. Try dry chilly mushroom which is the iconic dish of the shop. I have never eaten such a tasty dish in any of the resturant.

D.

Looove their Chicken Korma and fresh naan bread, have tried their chicken tikka masala and Kadahi also and they're all delicious! Curry puffs are awesome too! Customer service while placing phone orders is great too! Love your work Empress of India!

B.

Best butter chicken in South Auckland!! Great prices and staff are nice.

T.

Have been coming here for years and always order the Thai Green Curry and Chicken Stir Fry with Cashews and they never disappoint! Great value for money, tasty food and good service!

A.

Amazing food and service. Thank you. There was a mix up with our order and the staff delivered the correct order to our door. We appreciate their honest. Highly recommended.

i.

Good food, good price, good portions & halal :) Thai lady cooks the Thai food - when she's there. I've been here many times and will visit them time and time again... :)

b.

Our favourite Indian place in South Auckland. The staff could be a bit friendlier however the food is nice and very reasonably priced.

B.

It's ok for an Indian takeaway, but slack on cleanliness of tables, it's been a few occasions ive sat down waiting for my order and find food scraps left on table.

If you want value for money and the taste to go with it then this place is what u need. I love there tandoori, malai kabab, lanmb curry, pad thai.

뉴.

(Translated) I think it is good enough to have a good price of $ 15 for a low price curry rice drink. I want to recommend ~ (Original) 15불이라는 저렴한 가격으로 커리 난 밥 음료까지 꽤 괜찮은 맛으로 좋은것 같아요. 추천하고싶어요~
