Reviews of Great Spice Tauranga, Indian Restaurant & Bar

A. P.

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Food was delicious and up to the mark. A must visit place to satisfy your test buds.

S. S.

Good place to try starters and mains in Tauranga. Enjoyed their Non-Veg Banquet. However, non vegeterian's prefer to have all 3 non-veg curries, instead of adding on 1 Veg curry in Non Veg Banquet. Other than that.. Everything is fine. Good service by staff...👍

H. H.

Best indian in town by far. Generous portions and they make the best garlic naan bread. The gentleman working there opened the door for me as I was carrying my baby. I think the people moaning about masks, well it's the time we live in. Common sense tells you to wear one into a restaurant and take it off when seated.

L. P. J.

Ambience is extremely good. Soft Indian music is played in the background. A lot of combos are available to choose from which is comparatively cheap. Take away is available which is an even cheaper option. Its a bar attached restaurant next to a countdown. Restaurant manager and other staff are friendly. Try butter chicken with naan or a smoked chicken biriyani.

A.

Great service! I usually go there for takeaways but had a dine-in tonight really great people around. Rajinder is really great at serving.

K.

have always had a delightful experience at great spice. The serving staff are always very friendly and helpful. The food, especially the Bhuna paneer 😋

K.

Great service, atmosphere and food. We had the non veg banquet and every dish was delicious. Excited to go back and try other dishes.

J. C. /. M.

Delicious food and great service! (I’ve been to the restaurant previously along with my mum and my husband. We enjoyed the generous banquet menu. I’ve included a photo of our first course. The whole meal was so yummy). Their takeaway orders and delivery service have been incredible also. In the lead up to NZ’s lockdown period, my mum ordered deliveries to her home. Raj was great on the phone taking orders and Khem delivered the delicious curries promptly with a great smile. I was video chatting my mum when he arrived at her house and saw him waving at us. Truly great service! We highly recommend Great Spice and look forward to going to the restaurant again once the lockdown period is over. Thank you Great Spice, Raj & Khem! :)

J.

Hands down best Indian meal I've had and we have a lot .. outstanding

D.

Very Friendly Team. awesome food Thank you will come again.

S.

Great service with an excellent range of delicious options. Always a great experience.

h.

We had a short trip to Tauranga few weeks ago and I would like to share my experience with great spice restaurant was fantastic. We had a great time with my family and friends. Very friendly staff and delicious food, definitely worth it. Happy to go back again.

P. F.

This place is outstanding. I have been to many restaurants in the UK. The home of a beer and curry. The Great Spice knocks them out of the field. I have been here many times. I have experienced the vast menu I can not find a fault with the food. Now let’s talk about the team excellent service, always made to feel welcome, fantastic people. All I can say is get down the the Great Spice Bureta you will never regret it.

A. F.

I was blown away by the incredible service here! The staff were lovely and helpful. My partner and I ordered a chicken korma and a lamb korma- they were creamy and flavourful! The cheesy garlic naan was fresh and very cheesy. The restaurant was also very beautiful, clean and had great ambiance. I will be recommending this to anyone who comes to the area!

C.

One of the best place to have a meal. I just love this place and staffs are so friendly

G.

I built a website for Great Spice Tauranga. Khem & I managed to make an excellent website. While working on a website project, I tried their Palak Paneer. If you are vegetarian, you must try their palak paneer.

a.

Great food, however the way they serve their food doesn't seem right.They take orders separately but give the Naan and rice in one plate/bowl. We ordered lunch deal, 7 dishes, so the 7 Naans came in 2 basket. We then ordered 2 more naans and they gave us the same amount. So this was abit confusing. We would love to come back as the food was nice but will make sure that dishes are separately served.Thanks.

A.

I have just had fantastic experience from this restaurant. Back I September I ordered a meal for delivery for my partners birthday. The meal arrived about an hour late and I had the wrong dish even though what was delivered was lovely food. I went and made a complaint the next day. They took my comments on board and said next time we ordered they would compensate us. Tonight I ordered another meal 2- months later . Tonight the food not only turned up on time but the lovely lady that delivered it had remembered me and said it was free of charge we are both blown away . I expected free delivery this time not a free meal which was excellent. Fantastic service highly recommend I will have more takeaways from here now. Well done Guys 👍Andy Chard

T. B.

No.1 in Tauranga⭐️Absolutely delicious food & great service. Thanks for looking after us.

C.

This was the best Indian I have had for a long time. Totally recommend this restaurant.

T. M.

Great food, great service (big compliments to the awsome waiter), and great ambience to boot. Very happy with this restuarant. The only negative I would personally give is that indian hot is not Indian hot but Tauranga is not known for spice tolerant retirees so I understand the business decision 😉.

D.

Love the food here..Been coming here for sit down meals and takeaways since they first opened and the food and taste has not dropped off over the years..

S. H.

Great spice has it going on here.. great foods great menu great staff, free popadoms with both my orders.. came back twice in a row, that says it all.. go get some great spice tandoori Indian.. chioce

M.

Delicious food, great service!

B. W.

We were given the recommendation to try so drove from Whakamarama and definitely not disappointed. Kids meals are a great size and the spice for our meals were spot on. We had the standard lamb korma and butter chicken but will definitively be back to try more dishes. My husband collected and said the staff were friendly and health and safety standards (under current level 3) were perfect and process was easy. Thanks so much.

B.

Awesome staff awesome food great service and price

N. A.

The best Indian Restaurant in Tauranga. Very pleased with their service everytime. My partner and I make it a habit to dine with them every week. Excellent food and service.

A.

An extensive menu of fantastic Indian food. Some traditional and some different. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

z. b.

Yummy tandoori chicken and kashmiri naan and amazing biryani thoroughly satisfied.....

H.

Nice food friendly staff highly recommend

P.

Awesome delivery service with the same friendly staff we see at the restaurant. We put our order in and it arrived piping hot at exactly the time we asked for the delivery to be made. Our meal was excellent, just as good as we get when we dine in at the restaurant. See you in Bureta after the Covid-19 restrictions are over.

H.

Always excellent serive great food and spotlessly clean have eaten here lots of times our favorite Indian reasturant

A.

Food is great but to be really honest I prefer quaint restaurants with more character. Trouble is there is no parking down the strand. Parking is easier in the burbs ... unfortunately. Especially when you need a disability park an yr disabled partner has to try an walk.

A.

Good food but not great service - food was very slow to arrive even slower than they indicated when we ordered and they didn't go to any trouble to offer us some starters to have with our beer and other drinks while we were waiting

T.

Fantastic authentic delicious Indian.. only thing I could fault was the amount of time we waited for food.. we were in big group which could've been reason..

A.

Excellent Indian restaurant, the best in Tauranga. Great menu, wonderful staff and service. Extensive menu, consistently fabulous food there is nothing negative about this place.

J.

This place is outstanding 😊. This is the only place where i found real taste of indian curry and entrees. And i found quality dine-in services. Thank you Manager and the team for your great service.😊🙏

E.

Affordable, flavoursome and super quick. All you want in a great Indian place. Their mediums could be a little hotter though.

K.

If you too are a" Foodie person " look no further-"Great Spice " the name says it All.Typical ,Authentic Cuisine .....Great Service Dedicated Staff ....tbeir Hot & Sour Soup is to die for ... Whenever i need to spoil & Pamper myself its "Great Spice" only👍

R.

Excellent authentic Indian food. This is coming from an Indian. Really good portions and good service. We keep going there as a family.

K.

Rajinder is the best waiter we have ever had! He genuinely loves his job and the customers that he has. Also AMAZING food that is authentic but Rajinder is the reason we always come back - Katie and Jack

A.

Visited on a Thursday night for takeaway. Restaurant was busy so there was a bit of a wait, but they did have a number of tables to serve. Twenty minutes later we were home tucking into a pretty decent meal. My tikka masala was the best I've had in a long time. Big portions too. Well worth a visit. Will book a table next time.

S. t. S.

Went to this restaurant for a Birthday celebration. The service is great, very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Lovely décor, clean and very spacious. We ordered the banquet. Food was devine although it did take quite a while to come out of the kitchen. We ordered everything medium heat but oh my god it was pretty damn hot. If you can't handle heat then go for the milder version. Our 10 year old ate her meal but needed quite abit of water. The naans were honestly the best I've ever had, light and crispy, and very tasty. My son in law who is Indian thought the food was great, which just confirms what the rest of us thought. Very reasonably priced, good parking with other amenities within walking distance.

H.

Nice and tasty food... Good customer service as well.

S.

Enjoyed the Lamb Madras and the Chicken Bhuna. The Keema Naan was also good. The rice was light, not at all sticky. Just a tad expensive for the location.

E.

Really like this place. Great food, friendly unobtrusive service and all staff appear to be happy and helpful. Love going here to eat with friends and visitors

s.

Absolutely fantastic food and service

B.

Its new favorite Indian restaurant. They always surprise with good food,service. Awesome

E. B.

I love this place. Went here because I'd had Great Spice before and it's really good food and consistent. The whole family was stoked with their meals - they nail the heat level, and the portions always leave us feeling full and happy. Highly recommend!

V.

Great Spice Indian restaurant in Tauranga is such a great food with Fabalous staff. Excilent service. Such a nice place to have food there.

G.

This is the best curry in town, complete with goat curry you wont find in many other Indian restaurants. The drinks are alway cold and there is a great selection. Wether you dine in or take away this is an awesome spot with authentic food.was disappointed when the Plaza renovations meant the Great Spice Restaurant closed, however the food is just as good from the new food court! You will never want to eat a store bought naan again once you taste theirs!

A.

Excellent environment, very friendly service, great menu choices and really decent indian food

R.

Awsome food and excellent service. Loved every bite, superb naan and best mango lassi I ever had.

M.

Rang through for an order whine driving over from the Waikato (on the hands free car phone). I was calling before their opening time and didn't leave a message. About 10 minutes later they called me back having seen the caller ID. Awesome service and the food is always very good

M.

Absolutely THE best punjabi style Indian restaurant in tauranga. The Cheesy garlic naan bread is honestly THE most delicious thing I've put in my facehole for MONTHS. The service is absolutely impeccable. Do not even bother heading out for dinner if you dont go here.

F. H.

We had take aways that included two mains, two vegetarian plus naan breads. This has to be as good as it gets, and I have had lots from many locations. The blend of spices just seemd to be perfect, good portions and reasonably priced. Parking and collection easy and accessible. Well done to the unseen chef at the action end !

R.

Nice soft relaxing environment friendly staff. Served our sensational classic Indian fragrances enhancing local seafood meats and morsels from Nz. Our kids finished there butter chicken whilst we enjoyed our seafood scollaps - prawns. And lamb dish. Chased by quality Nz white wines that were on offer... most enjoyable. Thankyou. Two thumbs up from Us..

R.

Been in tauranga 5 odd years .I have never tasted any Indian food as tasty and as good as these fellas . Keep up the amazing work team . Marvelous 😃😃😃

Awesome authentic Indian food.friendly staff. Quite busy as it's quite popular, so wait time may be slightly long. But it's well worth the wait

R.

Best restaurant in the town with good Indian taste. Have been to many Indian restaurants but none of them have the actual Indian taste of food. This restaurant is awesome. Quality and quantity is worth and value for money. Kudos to the team !

R.

Food was great and service had started well but the ending wasn't we were a table of four and ordered the banquet deal everything up to the desert was great but they had forgotten to serve the dessert which was forthcoming much later after we had reminded them long after our main meals were cleared.But apart from that decor and atmosphere was good So would have given 4 stars But would tecommend
