Delicious Indian cuisine and lovely staff. Hardly any wait time for food even when the restaurant is busy. We go every year on our family holiday and we aren’t disappointed!

M. D.

No other restaurant we've visited offers Indian cuisine of such high quality and authenticity when preparing the dishes. Kafal has an excellent menu, with every choice being perfectly prepared and so moreish that you'll never want your meal to end. The staff are superb, the restaurant is very comfortable to be in and you'll enjoy your dining experience for sure. We LOVE Kafal :-)

A. K.

You can eat authentic Indian food here. We’ve tried so many Indian restaurants in Auckland, but this place offers you fantastic food than those in Auckland. Highly recommended. The manager/owner is such a friendly guy. Thanks for the lovey service😀

C. V.

The food is delicious. I got my go to Butter chicken and cheesy garlic Naan. When I do order different things of the menu it's always so good. Staff are Cool. Fast and efficient. Nice and Clean environment.

D. M.

The food and service here is excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised that they have a seperate vegan menu, which made things much easier to order. The vegan mushroom masala is amazing.

B. O.

Lucky to get a table on a busy holiday period in Whangamata, but they found a way of fitting us in. The meals were so good and came so quickly too. Very impressed

Returning visitor to Kafal. Excellent dining experience. Excellent service, full menu BYO. Well done Kafal

P. M.

Lovely service and lovely food. Highly recommend this restaurant. Very busy place, all staff working hard. Popular with take aways as well. We had a very pleasant evening meal and were impressed with the dishes flavours and how nice the waiters were. Very easy 5/5 score for this one :)

V. B.

Delicious food and great service! We dined over beach hop (and have ordered takeaway a couple of times before), despite being extremely busy the food was very tasty, good portions for price, and spice levels were just right for what we ordered. A firm favourite when in Whangamata.

A.

One of the best restaurant that I have ever visited. Innovative presentation of authentic Indian curries. Delicious food and brilliant service. I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience great tasting Indian food and amazing eating out experience. 😊

K. M.

Best Indian in town! The food here is amazing with a big diverse menu that caters for everyone. The team at Kafal are awesome as well, super friendly and always make you feel welcome. I had called Kafal at 9:28pm, 2 minutes before closing and they were kind enough to stay open for me. Highly recommend

T. T.

We had an amazing dinner at Kafal. A potpourri of flavors that combined to mouthwatering vegetarian curries. Especially their unique house recipe „Anarkali“ impresses us. We love coming back here when we are in the area! Highly recommended.

V.

This restaurant gets 5 stars based on the price / quality / service equation. Great service, delicious food, at great price and dietary requirements (coeliac) clearly and very well catered for. Would definitely recommend, and are already planning our next trip. Well done kafal

A. M.

Today we had a onion bhaji and butter panner massala with garlic nan from this place n its soo freaking good 😛😛they take 15 min to make this but trust me it’s worth it !!! If u like spicy this best place to eat!!😊

R.

We visited this restaurant last night. This is one of the most delicious Indian meals we have ever eaten. The menu is extensive and varied and caters for all tastes of...

P. S.

Just ordered butter chicken and chicken korma. Excellent service as we got it delivered at home. Only had to wait 15 mins when informed 40 mins. The meal was great. We had walked past the restaurant earlier today and one of the staff was at the door opening up and was plesant and greeted us with a big smile. We will be back.

J. S.

Impeccable service and a place with food as authentically Indian as you can get. This is a high ent restaurant that makes sure to treat it's guests to an exquisite experience for the price they pay. With some interesting choices for a good meal.

r.

Everything was beyond stunning, best Indian cuisine we've ever had. Service was top quality, generous portions and beautiful presentation. We ordered the malai kofta, butter chicken, garlic and cheese naan bread, and chicken tikka which was served on a sizzling hot plate when it arrived at our table. All the dishes were amazing, also the drinks we ordered were superb. Truly a night we'll never forget, easily 5 stars.

R. T.

Have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Their butter chicken is my favourite. Always very friendly and efficient service.

T. H.

On holiday for a week and found this restaurant on our first night here. Had Butter chicken and Lamb Saag. Both were absolutely divine, but in particular, the sauce/gravy for the Butter Chicken is “to die for”. Tonight is our last night, before we head home tomorrow, and just ordered a couple of dishes, to take home with us, for dinner tomorrow!!

M. G.

I was recommended Kafal by the local community as a great restaurant in the area also offering BYO. The booking was made for a party of six and we were warmly greeted from the moment we entered the restaurant. The table was beautifully set and service was super friendly and efficient. The food was beautiful - we ordered a selection of dishes and breads to share - highly recommend the butter chicken!! The food was also great value for money and we will definitely be back when in Whangamata! Thanks guys !!

m. k. m.

This is my favourite take out & dine in spot in Whangamata & I've been here four years now. Lovely staff, delicious and flavoursome meals and everything tastes just as good when you take it home! (Should quietly mention I eat here AT LEAST once a week, still my fave) Couldn't recommend more highly!

F. R.

The young man who took our phone order was very helpful & a joy to deal with. The delivery was quick & even to our motel room. The food was delicious & could very easily be the best Indian we’ve had!

N. G.

Absolutely the BEST Butter Chicken I have ever had, perfect range between Mild & Indian with extra amazing options for naans. Rice comes with the curry which is awesome for pricing, highly recommended 🥰

A.

Simply amazing! The staff is courteous and helpful and the food is delicious 😋 Totally recommended!!

z. b.

Super friendly staff and the food is amazing i highly recommend

R. V. N.

Friendly staff, clean eating areas. Food was well spiced, curry tasted as they should. Mango lassi was a little boring but overall a great dining experience for our party of 8

A. B.

Good and a flashy restaurant.. staff was pretty good especially the Manager. In addition, I would like to appreciate the chef skills.

T. A.

The food is extremely good. My 2.5yo daugther love their cheese and garlic nans (and she's right, they are very fresh and yummy). The waiter is very nice and very helpful with the menu. Try the chicken kadai and the keema mutar massala, they are to die for...

W. M.

Really nice staff, great food. I love this place.

J. B.

Really good menu and the place was real clean and tidy too. Good to see the covid19 stuff in place as well. Our meals were really great, full of flavor and nice and hot. This place also does well for take away too, lots of people heading in throughout the evening. Great value as well.

B.

Amazing restaurant, awesome staff. Great prices and delicious indian cuisine. Will happily come back when i'm passing through again. Thanks

R. S.

Being an indian, finding indian food in foreign countries is kinda tough task. But I was fortunate to find Kafal Indian Cuisine which served delicious and scrumptious varieties of Indian food. Food was price worthy and very yummy. It was worth the price and the plus point was their service. All the staff members are very kind and will greet you with a smile. Anjum was one of their kind members who served us really well and made our dining very comfortable. I totally recommend this place when you want to have good delicacies of india. Kudos to your team guys!!✌✌

B. B.

This place was amazing, it was one of two restaurants open and we came in right before they closed. They were nice enough to seat us and we had one of the best dinners we’ve had in New Zealand. Service was amazing, food was just as good and overall a great experience.

R. W.

We ate here last night and thoroughly recommend the chicken kadai and the vegetable anarkali. The Anarkali in particular is worth giving a go - chef's own dish, never seen it anywhere else - mushrooms, baby poratoes, brocolli and paneer in a very tasty onion curry sauce. Rice comes with all mains, breads good too and staff couldn't have been nicer. If we were local this place and its Anarkali would be our 'go to'.

N.

Was a nice fairly basic Indian restaurant but the food we had was super tasty and the service was really nice and friendly even tho it was a super busy Saturday evening. Would definitely recommend. 😍

R. R.

I can say one, two, three till thousand times really authentic Indian restaurant with nice aroma. Really better dishes. I really want something like this every day. Prices are wonder tales can be reduced little . I have tasted my real home food here. Kafal is a legend.

R. D.

I was craving a warm meal and my husband suggested Indian on our trip to Whangamata. The manager was very welcoming and attentive. I ordered a spicy vindaloo. As soon as I dipped my naan bread in the sauce my mouth begun to water, the spice was amazing! My husband ordered a butter chicken, boy was it creamy and delicious.

h. m.

A delightful surprise. Looking for somewhere to dine tonight and found Kafal. Walked in to wonderful aromatics , supreme service and mouth watering food. Thank you for a great evening.

K. F.

Beautiful butter chicken and naan bread. some of the best ive had in many years. such a shame i live so far away otherwise i would dine here more often!

M. B.

Aways a delightful experience at Kafal. Great service with kind smiling faces, beautiful wine and authentic food. The best Indian on the Coromandel Peninsula, blessed to have in our town.

Wow the Lamb Biryani has great chunks of lamb and is awesome with all the leftovers the next day. Thank you Team Kafal

W. M.

I love Kafal's food. Amazing Chef, flavours are out of this world and portion size is fabulous. Their Butter Chicken is amazing and I would love to eat it every other night if I could lol. I highly recommend Kafal's food along with their great staff. Thank you Vivek, Kushy and team, you do a great job. Wendy

A. S.

Came as a group not long ago for a meal. We were not disappointed, Kafal Indian Cuisine really set the bar high. 10/10!

K. A.

Who doesn't love a great butter chicken or chicken korma. A great restaurant with a substantial range. Havent been let down once. And they deliver if you want to eat in rather than enjoy the spacious ambience if their restaurant.

K. R.

I just came here all the way from southland to spend my holiday here so I just been to this restaurant. They have really awesome food with really welcoming staff. Hope you guys visit here and have some indian curries with great taste.

J. v. d. W.

Lovely food. Friendly helpful staff. They accidentally forgot to add the extra rice we ordered but very happily delivered it immediately once discovered. Superb!

S. C.

Great food, really nice relaxed staff, nice venue I'd eat here again

j. D.

Excellent food prompt and good service. Went for a meal during a family visit will definitely return again.

M. H.

We recently picked up an excellent takeaway- chicken korma and lamb rogan josh. The homemade mango kulfi was rather good too.

D. H.

The food here was gorgeous. We had a chana masala (chick pea curry) that was beautiful, as well as paneer makhani, which was to die for! We matched it with two cheese naan, and rice was included. Add in 2 bottles of Corona each and all in all came to around $70. Well worth it for the price. There was more than enough food for the two of us.

L. f.

Very good food. Great flavour. Yes maybe wine glass could have been cleaner but not a drama. Staff very pleasant. We would happily recommend.

C. D.

Food was beautiful and came quickly. Service was good and reasonable prices. Would recommend

M. D.

Beautiful food!! We have eaten a lot of currys in our time. They have a special vegan menu here thats awesome! We love coming here and travel 45mins from home to come for dinner.

We have a batch here in Whangamata. This place we tried for the first time tonight and BINGO! Lamb Saag Paneer No 51 (Hot) and Chick Korma No17 (mild kids) bloody amazing. Love it. Will be back.

J.

Great meal, highly recommend

S. H.

Enjoyed takeout tonight. We had butter chicken and chicken sagwala which had plenty of tender chicken. Butter chicken sauce tasted quite tomatoey but the sagwala was yummy and thick. Loved being able to order online and it being ready when I arrived. Great service.

D. M. G.

Delicious mild (requested) vegetarian dishes. Calm pleasant service and as others mentioned great, authentic decor. A very satisfying choice for us - on a Monday night too!

S.

One of the best restaurant that I have ever visited.

l. v. l.

By far the best Indian on the Coromandel. The service is outstanding, the food is authentic and exquisitely India. Thank you 🙏

S. L. K.

Second time back. Delicious curries and their cheese and garlic naan iwas yummy! Great service

R. T.

Excellent food, fairly priced and apt service. For a beach town indian restaurant this place really exceeded my expectations! Clearly the locals knew it because there were only two spare tables in the place. It's BYO wine only and you're paying on average around $16 for a curry and rice. Highly Recommended, 5/5 👏

C. M.

Stayed one night in Whangamata and enjoyed dinner at Kafal. Staff was friendly and attentive! Naan was perfection! I had the Saag Aloo and my husband had the Malai Kafta. Yummy!
