Reviews of Chilli Cove
I.
Delicious! 10/10 best Indian takeaway ever. we had a bit of a wait but it was absolutely worth it! Very busy inside the restaurant so the wait was understandable. Will definitely come back. Honey Chilli Cauliflower was 👌🏼
L.
One of the best Indian restaurants in NZ. Also amazing vegetarian/vegan option. Good size portions for a fair price. Outstanding service.
*The honey cauliflower is a must!
Will always come back when I am in Whangamata. :)
M.
Had my dinner with my son during Easter break, the curry was exceptionally delicious, served in larger pots than the usual restaurant. The owner is friendly and kind, good customer service. Will definitely visit again when we travel to Whangamata. While most restaurants were closed that night, this one was still open and serving the locals and tourists. Super 👍🏻😊
K.
I have been here a few times now and it consistently impresses me. The food is always delicious and AJ the owner is an outstanding host who is always smiling and takes time to recommend dishes that never disappoint. We will be back again! The crispy mushrooms is the new favourite just discovered yesterday!
M.
Great food and friendly service. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality. I’ll be returning for sure.
M.
Had dinner here and one the best Indian food I have ever had in New Zealand. Guys please try them and if you are in whangamata do not forget to order from them and please do bookings they normally busy every night. That lamb and prawn dish is so delicious. Thank you for having us. ❤️🥘
P.
Probably one of the best Indian restaurans we’ve eaten at. Staff were friendly, Quick and accommodating. Chef regularly checked if we were enjoying our meal. Food was absolutely amazing. Quick service and very satisfied with night out.
D.
Would recommend their Hot and Sour Veg soup! You can tell that the soup has been made from scratch (some restaurants use those instant powders and stuff). The vegetables were plenty and fresh. Perfect for the cold winters. Also loved their serving style and service. The staff were very nice and the host checked in on all the customers to ensure if they were satisfied which is not something we see alot of, if you are in Auckland. Whangamata is a lovely town with a gem of an Indian restaurant that's hidden of their main road. It is a lovely cove to dine at.
A.
Went there for a date. As it was only place open at 8:30 in the whole town. So glad that we went there. I have to say, by far the best Indian food i have had in New Zealand in last 7 years. Very close to authentic. Great flavours, amazing presentation, manager there was very good at his job, friendly staff. Definitely be back 😊
L.
Beautiful restaurant. Excellent quality of food, meals are big enough for two people. Very cheap related to high quality and quantity. Lovely service
T.
We have eaten at Chilli Cove three times this year and each time has been excellent. The food is as good as any Indian restaurant you will find.
S.
We ordered goat rogun josh and aloo gobi. Our kid had kids nuggets and chips. They have 3 craft beers, all good! The food was seriously fabulous. I've eaten at Indian restaurants in 15 countries and this food was the best.
K.
I ordered a palak paneer and it was the most delicious palak paneer I’ve ever eaten. Perfect well rounded flavour and they also got the perfect spice level for hot. Can’t wait to eat there again and try other dishes. Well done guys.
A.
Gorgeous Indian dinner this evening at Chilli Cove and so great to enjoy a good catchup with a very good friend and my darlings first time to Whangamata. If your ever in town this is the best food, amazing customer service always checking if your ok, and how the food is and engaging with their customers. 5 stars 🌟
R.
Absolutely delicious! Great presentation, flavor, feels authentic (not too creamy or oily - just right). Highly recommend the chicken tikka, also had the bhindhi (okra) and paneer patiyala, both quite good.
Dessert was good too! Loved the chocolate samosa, with one caveat - couldn’t get the taste of cumin out of my mouth! I believe they use the same samosa crust as the normal/savory ones. I’d strongly urge the team to use a crust that doesn’t have cumin, maybe sugar instead.
P.
We ventured into Chilli Cove this evening, (Saturday) and experienced one of the very best examples of high quality Indian Cuisine that I ever have had the pleasure of tasting. (And I've had a few curries in my time).
This was a complete dining experience; beautifully presented menus, attentive staff, and food that sang off the plate, from the wonderful sticky scrummy cauliflower, to the sizzling plate of the chef's special lamb. We then filled up St Bernard-sized doggie bags, so that we can do the whole thing again tomorrow. A true Whangamata Treasure!
P.
After having so much trouble for an hour in Tairua trying to find something worth paying for I drove to Whangamata and these guys delivered an amazing tastey meal that stayed hot my whole trip home 100 recommend dining or buying takeaway from this place front of house staff were lovely friendly and the chefs made a top notch meal I will definitely be spreading the good word and returning here again in the near future thanks guys your amazing your restaurant is a beautiful little place too five stars from me 😎🙂
G.
Unbelievably tasty food the butter chicken and mango chicken was so tasteful and there was a cauliflower dish that's would blow your taste buds out of the universe soooooooo yum
M.
Yummy food and very friendly staff. I didn't order it but they have goat, which I want to try next time.
L.
We had an amazing evening at chilli cove. The food was incredible and the wait staff were very lovely and very attentive. Especially Belle!!
S.
Really good food and excellent service. Definitely a loyal customer now, been a few times and it never disappoints :)
C.
Excellent food, such tasty Indian food to find in a small town is really a bliss. Must try especially Paneer Hariyali which is a rarity among Indian restaurants in NZ
R.
First time we have been here.
Food was delicious and the sevice was impeccable, we will be back.
Thanks so much
P.
Best Indian I've eaten in the 2 years I've been in NZ. Friendly staff, would definitely come back.
S.
If your looking for a decent seafood curry I would 1000% recommend the butter scallops, so good
The cheese and garlic naan is really good too
M.
Great meal, good service and nice atmosphere. Very enjoyable evening.
G.
Fantastic food as always. We certainly appreciate being able to enjoy your delicious takeaways. But we do look forward to dining
In again soon. Many thanks to the team.
S.
My partner and I were very impressed with the service, food quality and delivery of Chilli Cove takeaways. The food was absolutely amazing - it was very tasty, with great portions and flavor which made us want more and more. The staff member who delivered our food was also very friendly and was bang on time (for Covid Level Three contactless delivery), which was a nice touch. We have been Chilli Cove customers for over a year now, and they continue to impress us with their food and service. We will certainly be back at Chilli Cove in the near future.
L.
Chilli Cove has a wonderful range of curries, all equally delicious. Great service and reasonably prices. We went early but were glad we had made a reservation as the restaurant filled up quickly. Obviously lots of people know how good it is!
P.
My first time dining here & it was very pleasant indeed, I enjoyed everything that I ordered and was very happy with the flavours, as was my partner. I will be back for more!!. Whangamata NEEDS more GOOD RESTAURANTS like Chilli Cove
T.
The food was AMAZING!!!! The honey cauliflower chilli was spectacular!!! Mild butter chicken and lamb Korma was soooooo good!!!! There was depth and it was rich, just awesome!!!! Highly recommend and I do not like spicy food!!!
K.
Great staff. Starters: mixed platter sizzling plate was great. Mains were ok.
A.
Nice and warm welcome . Best Indian food we have ever tried. Clean, tidy bright building. 100% Recomended
C.
Went here for my Mums birthday lunch. Our family are big Indian food fans. Every starter and curry ordered was exceptional. The service and staff were amazing! Our new favourite restaurant in Whanga 😋
H.
Absolutely delicious curries and naan. Plus the lunch special is a real deal!
L.
I ate here with my family a few weeks ago and it was amazing!! The staff were lovely and accommodating. Service was fast and food was absolutely delicious. A great range of vegetarian options too, something for everyone. Can't wait to go back, would recommend!!!

There are some restaurant's food worth waiting for and enjoy it with nice ambience ... reasons is very obvious...As they never compromise the quality of food and Best service.. We have been to various places to try out new foods but our experience with Chilli Cove was THE BEST..... perfect place for Indian food.. One must ..must visit if you visit Whangamata.. BTW this was our fourth visit..😋😋😋😋
J.
First time visitors to Whangamata. We were going to grab Indian takeaways for tea but came across Chilli Cove that looked so inviting we decided to dine in and so pleased we did. Lovely family run business with a menu that elevates all the well known Indian dishes to the next level as well as having their own inspired recipes. My husband had the Lamb Nawabi and said it was the most tender lamb dish he has ever had at an Indian and I had the Prawn Malabari. Both dishes are a highly recommend. Lovely modern restaurant setting and warm friendly service. Would rate it as one of the two best Indian restaurants I have been to in New Zealand.
D.
Very good Indian food. Not just for Whangamata.
J.
What an excellent food and Service!!! ❤️🥰😍One of the best Indian food experience ever in New Zealand. Will be back guys and definitely highly recommend guys. Do not miss this opportunity if you are in whangamata.
C.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great food. Definitely a good place to dine with friends and family.

Great food, awesome service. AJ and the team at Chilli Cove provide a great meal and they're also huge supporters of the Whangamata Community. Couldn't recommend more.
S.

Excellent and friendly service, really welcoming
Food is absolutely delicious, and what cuts this above the rest is range of Chefs Specials that really give some flair to what you'd usually find at an Indian restaurant
G.
They run a punishinly good Chicken Korma 👌 nice place and great service
T.
I was skeptical ordering Indian in a small town but was pleasantly surprised as the food is very delicious! We had a slight hiccup with the delivery order but the owner quickly rectified it plus gave us a discount. Great experience will definitely return.
R.
Tried Chilli Cove for the first time today and it was delicous! Butter chicken was really tasty and I tried Paneer Patiyala for the first time and it's my new favourite. Also the lamb meat was so tender. The owner is so friendly.
We bought 3 curries + 2x naan for 4 people and had lots of left overs for lunch tomorrow. I'm from out of town but I'll be keen to buy again next time I'm back.
K.
Chilli cove is Whangamata's best kept secret no longer! Its rise amongst the array of great dining spots has put it on my top 3 sumptuous delightful dines. Beautiful authentic Indian foods, with fresh spices and flavors screaming at your tastebuds!. I thoroughly recommend the fish masala which is turned into the next butter chicken for this lover of all things spicy. You know, even on the very first time meeting the lovely staff, that your food has been prepared with love and passion. That's the secret ingredient not often found in restaurants of all calibre.Thanks team for the beautiful dinner tonight and I will see you next Wednesday!
R.
we are living since 25 years in Whangamata, and the only restaurant in town we visit and we can recommend highly is Chilli Cove. Superb flavours, well chosen heat in spices (you can order from very mild to Indian Hot) and the service well trained and very friendly. If you dine in Whanga, don't miss this experience.
B.
Amazing food and great service. Honestly can't fault them. Highly recommend chilli cove if you ever want Indian.

Authentic tasting indian food, friendly service and very cool tableware. Naan perfect and crispy, Vindaloo nice and spicy (raita essential) and the lamb and chickpea soup is a must try.
T.
Generous portions, but both our vege and chicken tikka dishes were lacking in flavour. Bit disappointed considering the high rating given by others.
M.
Top class food and service. Thank you Ajay for making us so welcome you and your restaurant are superb.
