Reviews of Rasoi Indian Restaurant
D.
Look, this has to be the best Indian in the country. And it’s also the best Indian I have had since London.
All the usual white-people dishes are stunning. But if you’re keen, ask the kitchen to serve you whatever they recommend and you’ll be in heaven.
The lamb chops can’t be missed. They are maybe one of my most favourite dishes in Aotearoa.
You need to go here. Asap.
M.
Not your average Indian restaurant so don’t expect curries for $15-16. Great food, lovely ambience (and a bad@ss waitress who could have been a tad polite). Loved their Burrani Raita. Would definitely go to this place again if in Napier.
H.
Not just you average India restaurant. They have an extensive menu of delights and the friendly staff were able to recommend some great dishes. This is a small restaurant so I'd recommend making a booking ahead of time.
D.
Visited Rosoi Indian Napier last week,this restaurant is the best Indian I’ve come across in Newzealand so far. Giving one star less is just of service (the younger lady has to be a bit polite, Rest is good ) book before you visit.
D.
Great experience. Best Indian restaurant in Napier so far. Had x3 starters and shared a main between two people. Food was good quality. Loved the fact you didn't feel rushed. Nice wait between starters and mains. Lovely atmosphere, lovely vibe. Good service. Will be back.
H.
An excellent Indian meal. There are a few interesting (and quite odd) fusion things on the extensive) menu, but it’s all delicious. One of the best Indian meals I’ve had. Will be back.
n.
Late review. I must appreciate Preeti's polite behaviour and excellent customer service skills.It was a public holiday and restaurant must have been busy. The way she understood my order was awesome as we were out of town and ordered a delivery. She understood the instructions very clearly and I must appreciate the delivery driver on that night who found my address.When we came back home at 1 am in night and found food at my doorstep which I wrote in the instructions ,my eyes literally lightened up and appreciated Preeti and delivery driver.Hats off to you both.On top of that,Food was very delicious and curries were fantastic.
V.
We went to Rasoi once on a 2 day trip to Napier. Would have definitely gone again if I had stayed there any longer.
Cocktail list is great. Menu is a step up from typical Indian restaurant.. variety is just wow.
We ordered dahi purees n they were the best. The Mango kulfi was a delicious nice ending to a very wonderful meal. Very creative plating too.
C.
Definitely a step up from the average Indian restaurant in NZ. Just reading the menu was enjoyable, especially the chef's specials. Complex flavour combinations and quality ingredients, and even the more familiar comfort meals were a bit special. Very good wine selection and friendly customer service in a nicely decorated space. Will definitely be back here.
T.
Came here on a recommendation and didn't regret it!
Delicious food and great service - the only difficulty was deciding what to have from the extensive menu.
We'll definitely visit again when back in Napier.
K.
Really great food. All the family loved it, was more than enough for all of us. Service was great too. Would highly recommend.
C.
Fast friendly service, super helpful, delicious, lots of vegan options for food and some wines too. We had the onion bhaji, vegetables pakoda, achar ke aloo, roti, rice, poppadom, 5 chutneys, bharwan aloo. Would totally recommend ❤👍🏼
B.
The staff here are so awesome it's been a little while since I've been here but came back a few days ago and it was amazing as always the takeaway meal I got had amazing flavor and I would go as far to say that it's the best Indian cuisine in Napier. Great job guys. And of corse I had to try one of there tap beers while I waited but the beer could have been colder but it was just cold enough.
A.
This is Indian cuisine, not Indian takeaways. A fascinating menu full of dishes I've never seen before. I can't recommend highly enough.
T.
Beautiful meals, excellent service. Cosy & comfortable setting. We stayed quite long & never felt rushed either. Thanks guys!
S.
What a find, tucked away on the Marine Parade (across from Putt Putt) in Napier and I have never tried it before. Major contender for the best Indian Restaurant and definitely not your average Indian. The menu is outstanding and extensive, there is something for everyone. Today we tried the Cheese Dumplings and the Lamb Korma. They were the two of the best Indian dishes we have ever tried. Authentic toppings and Paratha (nuts and fruit) all jaw dropping and moreish. 100% recommend. Will definitely be going back.
N.
Yummy, yummy food. They sat us without a reservation which was much appreciated but we waited quite a while for our meals. The lamb shoulder was delicious- so tender. I preferred the flavoring of the korma though. The naan was nice, not the best I've ever had though. Overall, it was a very nice experience.
W.
An excellent Indian meal. There are a few interesting (and quite odd) fusion things on the extensive) menu, but it’s all delicious. One of the best Indian meals I’ve had. Will be back.
R.
AMAZING! most amazing Indian cuisine I have ever had. Would come again and again. Beautiful service ❤
K.
The best Indian restaurant in New Zealand so far for me over the period of five years. While the main courses may sound usual the starters are unique and mouth watering. All the staffs are super friendly. The overall atmosphere is really good.
P.
Outstanding. Simply awesome, high quality Indian cuisine. Book ahead, they get very busy!
M.
Love this place the food and service are excellent. Best Indian restaurant in the Hawke's Bay. Can thoroughly recommend.
L.
Having lived in the UK..curry mile..and eaten our fave Indian/Pakistani foods in MANY countries this is hands down the very best. Such a varied delicious menu, lovely friendly, helpful, chatty staff . Highly recommend.
D.
A must try in Napier! We were served by Preeti today and she was marvellous and so welcoming. She made sure my dietary requirements were catered too and made sure we were really comfortable. The food was so good, especially on a cold day like today. Will definitely be back to try all the vegan options 😊
A.
My favourite curry in Hawkes Bay. Haven't dined in yet but I do like the free delivery within Napier. Good menu with range of different curries to try.
A.
Such tasty Indian food! The Cauliflower Manchurian & Mushroom Pyaz are super tasty! They are always happy to help with vegan options too!
T.
Great Indian dinning experience, friendly helpful staff, we had prawns popcorn, mango chicken, varqui crab, murgh chutney walk, nan bread ... so flavoursome, highly recommend
N.
Rasoi equally competes with Indigo in quality in Napier!!
I loved the methi paratha which is like lachha paratha bread
Kulfi(dessert) was amazing
M.
I had dinner with two friends and we all agreed it was the best meal we have ever eaten in an Indian restaurant. We started with vegetable samosas. Our main course was three vegetarian dishes and they were all wonderful. We asked for medium heat and each dish was ideally seasoned to us. Definitely coming again when I return.
b.
Wonderful friendly waiter, suggested tasty different dishes for table to share. One of my favourite places to take visitors to napier.
K.
Service was good but took a long time for food to come out. Specially when I was the only one in the restaurant at that time.
Also, orederd Mango juice and was given Mango pulp with Orange Juice. Although I was informed of this but who does that!
Interior and layout was good.
Overall a 3 star rating is fair. Pick up your game Rasoi. ✌🏼
R.
One of the best Indian meals I've had, with fantastic service to boot. The two curries and roti were spectacular. Massive range in the menu. Only down side is that I was too full to have any dessert!
F.
Wonderful food. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Abiding to Covid rules scrupulously.
s.
Went with family. Food was really tasty... But little disappointed with the quantity :(
C.
Good food but poor wait time, the food wasn't ready x2.
M.
Good restaurant but prices are bit more compared to other Indian Restaurant
M.
This is such an awesome genuine Indian cuisine restaurant. The service impeccable. Food divine. The staff interactive with patrons. Value for money. Soo many choices, that you can try something new and still be pleasantly surprised. Good range of wine beers and ciders. Too full to try the desserts. 10/10
#.
Amazing food <3 We trusted the waiters recommendations and it was amazing!
D.
I would say this is the best Indian restaurant I have been to. The service was great, meals as well. I have never seen such an extensive menu either so we tried a few different things which we loved.
G.
Being an Indian, Commenting on Indian Restaurant... All i Can say is, Awesome Food and Awesome Staff. Worth your Time and Money.. Thanks Rasoi..
K.
Easy to find. Great service, great food. Definitely go there again. Thank you.
T.
I live locally and tried Rasoi for the first time tonight. This is the best Indian food I've ever had! No left overs due to everything being eaten and even my kid's enjoyed it which is saying something! One of the very few times we've received our actual order from any takeaway/delivery service plus free naan bread and the delivery guy was on time and very polite! 5+ star for me!
M.
We went there last night for dinner with our 3 kids. Very high standard service, food arrived very quick after order and food was absolutely delicious. Will go there again 👌👌👌👌
R.
Absolutely fabulous, the range and variety was huge, you had so many dishes to choose from. In some meals you can choose your choice of meat and the garlic naan is amazing. Best Indian restaurant I've been to.
W.
The best Indian we’ve been to. We went twice on a five day trip to Napier. Awesome menu, very very fresh, and high quality. My husband is happy because he misses curries from the UK and thinks this just as good.
M.
Delicious. Excellent size portions & price. Friendly staff. Quick service. We felt medium was relatively mild so if you like a little spice order up :)
D.
This was our second visit. Again the food was amazing service was faultless. With such a variety of amazing dishes it was left to the owner to assist me OMG lamb shank was advised best ever and something I would never of chose.
Thank you to the chef, owners and staff for a fantastic evening again.
We will see you when we visit napiar again.
A must try restaurant!!!
B.
Delicious indian food. Real authentic taste
J.
My favourite Indian restaurant. Some restaurants put a whole lot of sugar in their curries. Not this place, it's the real deal. I have mine vegan and the roti is vegan too. Once a week, every week, perfect!
C.
Firsr time visit and we were amazed. Not only did the food wow our taste buds, the staff were friendly and the chef took thè time to chat to his guests. Very proud of his creations and well deserved compliments.
D.
Great indian food with awesome service 👍
B.
I don't even particularly like Indian food but this was delicious. Loved ambience, and service. The food was wonderful. Huge menu and the staff lovely at explaining everything.
K.
I tried the mustard crusted grilled salmon this week and it was awesome!!! Well located, warm staff, nice food with a decent price. Try the creamy rice with cardamom and pistachio.
C.
We had a delicious takeaway meal. I’m vegetarian and my husband had non veg, we both enjoyed our meals. It is rare to be pleasantly surprised with takeaways. This is of a high standard and quality. The portion sizes are excellent. Would definitely go back when we next in Napier.
S.
Fantastic menu, good service, great food
J.
We can not rate this place highly enough!
Absolutely the best Indian food we have ever had! Best wine too. Staff are all awesome.
We will definitely be back.
K.
Awesome food and location, great customer service
R.
Amazing Indian!
Really friendly staff and some very outstanding meal options. Definitely worth a visit.
I.
Just had the best Indian curry in NZ. Full of flavour and made to perfection and served with a smile. We will absolutely come and eat here again.
D.
Nice meal, bit takes about 40 minutes for main meal to be served
t.
Wonderful wonderful experience. Passion, fusion, flavour, atmosphere.... Rasoi has it all. If you haven't eaten here and you enjoy trying spices, trying something new and having your mind blown, I highly recommend Rasoi. Thank you Team at Rasoi for your commitment to the industry. To the head chef, your knowledge/understanding of the language of food is outstanding. Thank you for the meal!
C.
Best Indian in napier. I love their kadai prawns and venison Naan A +. Not fast good things take time.
K.
I wish I could rate this higher, the food was honestly fantastic.
Very delicious with generous portions.
Unfortunately the service was abysmal. We were sitting for 20 minutes without water or a menu, I had to wave a server down.
The service was similar as the night went on, unfortunately it did not improve.
The cocktails were not great but the liquor selection was good.
F.
Just been to Rasoi for dinner tonight.. meal was so delicious... waiting staff were fabulous ... whole experience was fantastic and the food no words can describe 100/10 for us
L.
Must try their filled chat puri! They are delicious! Well everything was delicious (so much so we went 2 nights in a row).
Very family friendly including a kids menu with fish and chips, meat balls and a few other choices.
S.
Ok so we went there after reading reviews but it was nothing special infact we found it overpriced. Ordered tandoori roti and rumali roti both turned out to be quite different so not impressed. I will say portion size was good however that is expected when you pay more.
S.
This restaurant is amazing, by far the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. And certainly the best in Napier, this was our first visit to Rasoi and it certainly won't be our last. We experienced fast friendly and efficient service from all the staff. The decor is outstanding. Food amazing. We so wanted to take home the chef to cook for us every day.
T.
One of the top Indian restaurants we visited in NZ and in the world, thus by far the best in Napier!
Unfortunately we could only come once, for lunch, but all other guests present on that day were also so amazed by the quality of the meals and the spices. Congratulations!
P.
First visit, but highly recommend in terms of Food and Service 👍
J.
Excellent flavorful food served with a warm smile. Thanks for a wonderful early dinner.
B.
Great restaurant with a huge menu. Make sure to book as is it usually busy but worth it. Excellent fusion menu, a wide range of traditional curries all delicious. The blue cheese naan sublime!
E.
Enjoyed the experience. Dinner was nice and service was friendly.
R.
Food was high quality including the taste. Looks like food is prepared with lot of interest and care. Also, plenty of choices to choose from which is very rare to find in restaurant's abroad. The price too is very reasonable. I would say this is the best indian restaurant that I have been ever. Even in India you may not find restaurant's providing high quality tasty food.
J.
Great staff, always happy to explain or suggest something new to try on the menu. By far the best Indian cuisine I have enjoyed in New Zealand, I can recommend to anyone without hesitation.
B.
This is a well run restaurant. Great food with service to match. Very friendly staff. Please do book as it gets very busy in here. I have a meal here every time I am in Napier.
T.
I'd been to Rasoi two prior times to this and hadn't been that impressed, so I wasn't expecting much this time.
Boy, wrong attitude. It was excellent this time. Beautiful starter: dips and poppadoms, followed by very flavoursome entrees. The main course was so lovely, I had a Venison dish and the meat was just so tender and flavoursome.
The service was excellent, they were very accommodating of the four young children dining with us (sorry other diners we did try to control them as best as possible) and were always on top of drinks etc.
Excellent, a real contender for best Indian in Napier.
T.
Visited napier for the first time and had a chance to visit the restaurant with amazing food good hospitality, nice staff with smile on face and good customer service. Though the restaurant was super busy and had back to back booking, the staff managed to accommodate our big group and have a nice view
T.
The best Indian food! I've had the honour of traveling a lot and tasting a lot of curries, but this place is the best by far. Amazing service and their menu is so extensive! 💚 And I found out tonight from the lovely young lady that served me, that Tara in India means shinning star! ☘ I always knew this 😎😉
F.
Take your time to read the VERY extensive menu. There is lots of standard favorites and tons of new innovative Indian dishes. A pretty good wine list and full bar facilities. The service was friendly and professional.What I generally dislike about Indian restaurants is that there seems to be a lot of different sauces pre-made and you choose your meat, fish or vegetables and they get added to the sauce.
T.
This must be one of the best Indian restaurants outside of India (and we've been to so many of those) - and it would still shine if it were in India itself! Every single thing was absolutely delicious. Portions are generous. The place itself is quite nice, and staff is great. Can't recommend highly enough!
Z.
Food amazing, awesome service especially on a busy Friday night. Highly recommended. Best Indian food I’ve had EVER !
m.
The food is fantastic and the staff are wonderful. This small and friendly restaurant is worth a visit but be aware that due to its size and NZ diners habit of wanting to be fed at 730ish, wait staff can get overwhelmed and you might have to compete for timely attention. It's worth it though. Enjoy.
S.
Always great food and fantastic staff
M.
Lovely environment, friendly staff and delicious mouth watering foods. What else would a customer want more than this? Thank you for your wonderful service, we definitely will see you again. Cheers!!
N.
Radio is a nice place to have Indian food. Their menu options are reasonably well planned and their food quality too is really nice and tasty
In fact we had looked out for the restaurant named Indigo which surprisingly turned us down and turned us off because they simply shut shop at a time when we as a large group were hungrily looking for a place to eat
They actually turned us down and told us they would not entertain us. Which is when our walk arising took us to Rasoi and they lived up to their name and culture to offer food and live it up
The Chef took a lot of effort to make great food and had the large group be offered a large choice
Well done Rasoi!
G.
Dropped in, they found us a table, great food, and enough for lunch tomorrow too. Pleasantly spiced, the goat meat melted in your mouth, the complimentary popadoms and chutneys were great. Fully recommend.
O.
Most accommodating and best service I've had in a long time. Delicious food. Very attentive staff. Nothing to fault
K.
Friendly welcome, delicious food. We went for a casual dinner and were nearly overwhelmed by the choices. The opportunity to chose the degree of spiciness was much appreciated by me - mild is fine. The fantastically balanced flavours and meal size provided for a great finish of a great day.
Only comment might be, that the request for some water for the table was answered with bringing a 500ml bottle for the three of us, instead of the in other places freely available and commonly provided (tap) table water with "refill".
In all highly recommendable!
K.
Absolutely delicious. Ordered online for delivery twice now and haven't been disappointed. Delivered on time, the meal was still hot. Highly recommended. Good value for money.
L.
What a fantastic place to eat! The food was the best Indian cuisine I have had in New Zealand and the combination of spices were perfect. My goat curry was so tender it melted in my mouth The staff were delightful and certainly looked after us. The restaurant and the decor were a pleasure to be in. Thank you Rasoi for a wonderful night.
n.
Excellent Service, Duty Manager extremely cordial and well pleasant to their customers. Their dishes are well balanced flavours. 👍
T.
Well this place doesn't NEED another 5 star review but it was just so good I had to. The menu was so extensive and full of yummy sounding meals that it toom us forever to choose. The staff were patient and friendly and the food was just the most amazing Indian I've ever eaten.
F.
Perfect experience. Not only the food is amazing also the service and the prices. Will come back!
H.
It was alot of fun picking through the menu, so many delicious options.. i got a fish curry but asked if they could do scallops instead of fish and they did! Softest, best cooked scallops iv had, what would have made it even better was if they had kept the roe of the scallop on instead of taking it off, its the most delicious part! maybe ill have to ask if they can leave it on next time
S.
Best chicken tika masala in town 😋
S.
Food was lovely but there were so many flies and staff were so blasé about it! Annoying and unhygienic; had to bat flies away all through the meal. Service was similarly poor and there were only another 2 tables filled.
F.
I am a Hawkes Bay local who loves a good curry. I have eaten all over the bay and Rasoi may be the best one I have eaten at yet. High quality food, beautiful layout and very reasonably priced. Thanks guys. You will be seeing me again
R.
Tasty and helpful staff. Initially they informed no dish with paneer (no paneer). We convinced to prepare some for us. Helpful & kind staff. Delicious food. Would love to visit again.
D.
Honestly was not looking for an Indian meal but glad I came here! I was heading to the fish restaurant next door but it was closed. So, never passing up the opportunity for a curry I popped in for lunch. The staff were extremely helpful accomodating my odd lunch order (no rice or breads). The samosas and paneer tikka masala was scrumptious!! The food was really tasty with just the right amount of heat/spice. I wish this place was on my high street !
L.
10 out of 10. Best Indian in town. Great service, delicious food and the after meal tea as the cherry on top. Cant ask for more.
R.
We sat in a shady corner outside which was pleasant. We both ordered a salad each for lunch, one arrived fairly quickly but I waited a good fifteen minutes longer for mine to arrive. It was described as being served with a naan bread, which did not arrive with it, and when I asked for it, it was immediately brought to the table but was only just warm.
The food we had for a light lunch was nice enough, and the staff were pleasant.
H.
Friendly and attractive service, good range local cider and beer w huge, innovative menu. Food very fresh and tasty and generous quantities. One of the best Indian restaurants we've ever been to. Highly recommend.
G.
We been late for buy same food take away and the guys help us for enjoy our dinner.Really autentic Indian food
G.
2nd time here, and 2nd time I've been blown away the presentation and quality of the food. Everything tastes freshly prepared, and absolutely bursting with flavour. Our group was not disappointed with anything. Our only problem was that we over ordered, which I suspect is a commercial n occurance. Plenty of vegetarian dishes, as to he expected. And you can choose the hear level too, from mild to Indian hot. Will definitely be returning for a 3rd visit. Oh, staff can be very busy, but always manage a smile and offer great service.
O.
If you’re after great Indian food this is the place. Probably the best Indian feed I have ever had and I have had a few over the years. Service was excellent and there was also a well priced wine list. Ticks all the boxes for me. Book a table to avoid disappointment.
A.
The food was lovely just the service wasnt the same as last time we only got offered 1 drink and had to ask for another. My friend ordered an orange juice but raro came out in a glass . Also we had just finished our mains then got told is that all and then asked to leave as the table was booked for someone else. It would have been ok if we got told as soon as we got there but not after our mains felt it rather rude .
F.
Best curry in NZ.... I like it when I can ask the staff to choose my meal on my behalf and they confidently ask a couple of questions about my personal taste and the deliver a meal so tasty and succulent that I enjoy every single morsel. Great selection, made with loved and served with pride.
A.
One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been. I like their lamb shank curry. It is a good tomato based curry sauce and refreshing and sophisticated dish. I love it.
L.
Phenomenal food. Authentic, varied, and not only the same standards that are on every menue. I wish they were in wellington!
R.
I can't explain taste in words can only say out of India I got the authentic Indian taste here..... Loved the food.....Appealing interior..... Extremely happy with customer service 😊😋
C.
Super friendly staff & amazing food. Generous portions so we've got lunch tomorrow too!
B.
The food here is amazing. The ambience is perfect and not claustrophobic. Menu was very elaborate and overwhelming and hence the 4 stars and not 5. It's very hard to choose with too many pages and items on a menu... Hope that changes.
Otherwise the meat is just so succulent and the flavor just right.
M.
Absolutely exquisite cuisine. The complexity of flavours was unlike anything I had ever had at an Indian Restaurant before. While the service was ideal, the flavours and breadth of menu was particularly impressive.
K.
Very impressed with extensive menu and excellent food at this new establishment on main road of Napier by the sea. Nicely presented and good service. Very tasty. Go with the recommended - we had a paneer dish in gravy, with silver on top.
S.
Outstanding service from the staff, great setting, awesome tableware and best of all incredible food - every dish we ordered was amazing and they nailed the spiciness levels we were after. One of the best Indian restaurants I have been to anywhere, Rasoi is a MUST if you like dining out and Indian food.
R.
excellent flavour food . friendly staff
C.
Popular Indian restaurant in napier Town, on the marine parade. If you want tasty Indian food, value for money place is Rasoi!
N.
One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to - speaking as an Indian and a traveler who's been to 50+ countries.
Beautiful decor, wonderful service and incredible food. We were lured in by the incredible smells coming from within, and we were not disappointed!!
We had the Chicken Tikka trio and the paneer kadhai. The chicken was succulent and juicy, perfectly spiced. The paneer was seasoned to be really tasty, with just the right amount of space, as requested. The naan was crisp on the outside, fluffy inside and the basmati was cooked exactly as it should be. The portions were generous, with my husband and I leaving stuffed.
In addition, there kids meals had a huge assortment, with crazy big proportionsp something to serve everyone's taste. All that for a crazy reasonable price (honestly, they should raise their prices at least 20-30%, the value is definitely worth even more) .
Thank you for such a lovely meal with great service .
L.
The staff stayed open for us on a Sunday night (in my own experience in hospitality it makes for a long shift) and didn't rush us whatsoever. The food was absolutely beautiful and the service was amazing and genuine. They even chased us down the street to give us something we'd left behind. Highly recommend.
S.
Can't fault the food and presentation at this place. The service can be a bit lacking at times but the food makes up for it. Would definitely return and this place is one of the best Indian restaurants in the bay.
N.
Hands down best indian restaurant I've ever been to. Food is phenomenal and they provided excellent customer service.
E.
Great food however their time management is shocking. Multiple times orders have taken 30 + mins longer than stated when ordering.
M.
Amazing food!! Some of the best Indian food I've had!
m.
We stopped there for lunch, it was busy that time. But how the Manager Gurmitter was managing alone was awesome. Food was awesome as well.The owner should be proud of Gurmitter. Well done Gurmitter.God bless you
I.
Great restaurant. Walked in and got the last table available and were served some lovely snacks as an appetiser. We only had the mains after that and that was plenty - the foor was great with excellent service and a very wide range of food and beverages
R.
What a fine Indian dining this restaurant offers, not a single Indian restaurant matches his quality and taste level across Newzealand. We were there for 2 days and had food both days. You won't find the cheffs mouthwatering experiments anywhere else. Loved it.
T.
A newly on the block. Superb decor in listed Art Deco building right opposite the Information Centre. Beautifully presented food using copper dishes and serving bowls. The food choices we made were great with really pleasing tastes and textures. Go here before the rush.
N.
Good food, good staff service, must give it a GO. ✌️✌️
N.
The best paneer butter masala I've ever eaten and I've had many. The stuff super kind and the meal was ready in ten minutes. Hope we'll come back again.
R.
Really good dining experience, tasty food, good price an at last really good customer service. Do recommend to all looking to dine in nice Indian restaurant....
M.
Our 4th dining experience at Rasoi. It's far & away the best Indian cuisine in the Hawkes Bay, if not all of NZ. The food preparation is sublime, the flavours are perfect, & the service is second to none. And what an inviting restaurant decor, with a comfortable welcoming aura about it. A special mention to the gentleman taking care of the wine service. He is top notch.
E.
The seafood curry I had from their chef’s menu is absolutely brilliant.
D.
Great food and very helpful attentive customer service. Have been twice and will definitely be back for more. Well Worth the trip over from hastings. Thank you for the beautiful meal
r.
2less stars for oily samosa the chef put the raw samosa in cold oil due to which the samosa was soo oily(i know this because I have worked as a Manager of Indian Restaurant for 5 years). Secondly the quantity was less... the lady there was nice good service...
J.
Some of the best Indian I've had. I'm married to an Indian and I can only think of one or two Indian restaurants I've dined in around the world with comparable food! Bonus: portions were very generous
S.
Been here a lotta times and gotta say if you’re lookin up for that flavoursome Indian food in Napier then this is the right place you wannabe! Shoutout to the dexterous and experienced Chef Kamlesh.
Certainly one of the best in Napier, you can get a wide range of options starting from curry(veg/non-veg), rice, tasty breads..... to dessert, smoothies and beverages(from around the globe).
Speaking of services, staff is quite friendly and cooperative. Takeaway and home delivery options are available as well.
Give it go, you’ll love it !

Truly best indian in Napier
We went to Rasoi for my daughters birthday party and were really surprised with Quality of food. being an indian we know what is the real indian food what we used to eat back in India we all felt like we are in Delhi and eating at our favourite restaurant in Delhi.
I never wrote any reviews but after eating here i felt like I needed to spread my experience here at this wonderful place .
If you’re in Napier don’t miss your favourite indian food.
Thank you Rasoi
L.
Went there on Friday night, 4 of us. Felt like we were ignored all night, had to get staff attention and ask for everthing. Service was awlful booked for 7pm didnt get our mains till 9.15. Spent alot of money. Complained on
the way out but no discount was offered. Food however was excellent.
K.
Good Place to Visit for Indian food.
Beat Thing : No Beef dishes, So and Hindu culture person can eat here satisfactorily
D.
Easily the best Indian food in the Hawkes Bay. My friend had a beautifully presented salmon dish which could have been on the cover of a magazine and all the portions are generous.
D.
Great food a lovely little restaurant with authentic Indian cuisine. Table service could use some improvement but overall was good. I'll be back
E.
ORDER THE LAMB! I got the meat sampler as a main and while each meat was very good the lamb was tender perfection. My husbands butter venison was perfectly tender as well.
M.
Absolutely the best food I've had in a while, highly recommend
