I have dined in twice and had take away once. The food is amazing!! The castle theme is super fun and different. My favourite part was the garlic naan bread. I will be back soon .

J. G.

this place really surprised me. The wood was amazing, maybe the best Indian I've had with really different dishes on offer. The cocktails too take on some Indian influence and are great, with quick friendly service to boot, highly recommend. Once they modernize the decour this place will be singing.

Best Indian I've ever tried. Amazing service. Great selection on the menu. Impressive rang of drinks.

J. G.

Went in thinking it was a pub meal... how wrong was l?? Its an Indian restaurant and the food is excellent. Lots to choose from and a reasonable drinks menu too. Lovely white linen table cloths and napkins but these were let down by the old ragged menu dirty drinks menu and years worth of dust and grime on the windowsills. The only way they can improve this restaurant is on cleanliness. Food and service fab.

Last night we had an amazing curry at the Castle Eatery in Wanganui. The food was outstanding and the attention to service by the waiting staff was first class. We will definitely be back.

M. B.

Reminded me of childhood very 70s and 80s style food and decor very nice. Service was great and friendly

D. D.

These guys do fantastic curries. They have terrific vegetarian options, (the egg plant bhartha is my fav and delicious) and they are pretty spot on with mild/med/hot is that worries you. The naan is also really good, I always get the cheese and chilli one and its top notch. Have eaten in and the restaurant is great, its not fine dining (yet they're upgrading as they go though) but the place has heaps of character and the kids loved it, they played in the bus for ages (so did I lol) . The cocktails are also really good but remember the cost a bit more than your average drink. Recommend checking the place out both take away or eat in.

K. P.

Curry was delicious. 7 dollars for a warm can of sprite though seems a bit odd

L. B.

Excellent Cocktails, Exquisite Food and the highest level of Service. Can not recommend this enough. If you want Indian food then this is the place to go. Get the Naan Bread, any of them, it's culinary perfection.

S. E.

Went for lunch as always like Indian food. We were treated to some tasty food with good service. Had time to talk to new management and find out there future plans. Working hard to create a nice ambiance.

T. E.

Delicious food, great cocktails. Great whanganui restaurant.

T.

Great food, especially the vegetarian options. These are not the slap together meals from commercial sauces. Good cocktails and mocktails like this ginger, mint, green Chillie with elderflower.

Excellent food, service was great too. I want to grab a bunch of my set dec and scenic painter friends and go to town in this place!

T. T.

Lovely atmosphere with live music playing quietly. Very relaxing meal not rushed, which is a nice change. Good Indian food and they went out of their way to accommodate our dietary needs. They are still finding their grove as a new restaurant but we will definitely be back. Go for a lovely night out not a quick bite as it was 2 hours for our group of 7. Staff were professional and friendly. 👍

N. E.

T. U. A.

Dined in with my family, we were super delighted to hear that the kids dined free, and the food was absolutely delicious, very big portion size, very well made and very reasonably priced, very kind and polite service, definately highly recommend and will absolutely be back.

G.

Both my partner and myself with my sister realy enjoyed the hospitality and for me the meal was one of the best I have ever had everything was beautiful couldn't say enough and would certainly go back

K. S.

The best curry I have eaten in Whanganui. The depth of flavor, tenderness of the meat combined with the starters that I could of eaten all night without even hesitating. Great customer service 👏 👌 👍

T. L.

Service was 100% so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, full of flavour.

P. N.

Nice food, friendly service. Although waiters were a little forgetful, but it didn't ruin our experience.

S. M.

The venue and service were top notch. The food was very average at best though. We had a tandoori chicken starter and the spice level was great but the flavours just weren't there for long. Butter chicken and chicken tika masala for mains (nz Indian classic of course), the butter chicken was comparable to canned tomato soup with little flavour and not the right bite to it. The masala was better but it just felt like it was missing so much, we were mildly dissapointed. Naans were too expensive ($5 for garlic version) for their size and a glass of coke was also $5 for a skinny glass. Again though, loved the service, I understand waiting staff might not be too experienced as they didn't clear tables often and forgot about us for a while but they were very kind, polite and charismatic. Glasses were not polished though (minor detail, just being a bit picky). Overall: being a kiwi and craving butter chicken when I want Indian food, I would recommend going to north indian takeaway instead. For atmosphere and gatherings I would consider this place but would also look at other options.

J. S.

A great meal from a diverse menu. Reasonable prices Too

C. F.

Delicious Indian food - great service - interesting location 👍👍👍

J. M.

Good food. Great to know they have different levels of spice for customers. Nice to try different flavour of Naan bread too. Beautiful.

L. K.

Delicious! Best indian food I have had that my husband didn't cook. We have been twice now in less than a week.

K. D.

Even though the meal was awesome, it is not wheelchair friendly. The ramp into the dining are is at a 45° angle, plus the toilets aren't for disabled people!

L. W.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. The flavours are excellent, so much better than your average Indian. The host is a font of knowledge. Waitresses very attentive. Paan kulki dessert was divine.

D. D.

Meal was lovely. Parking excellent, but building is not really wheelchair friendly.

J. C.

R. D.

Best indian food I've eaten in NZ so far. It's like india in a plate. The biryani and tikka are mouth watering. Authentic ingredients used and no artificial colouring agents as per my experience. A few suggestions are always applicable when you run a restaurant which I would utter to the owner only. Reasonably priced cuisine for the kind of ambiance. 5 stars for you B******* you've earned it.!!

F. B.

We came here for a family reunion. It was an ideal venue for a big function like this. The food wasn't anything flash, and the decor was fairly dated, but they had the capacity to seat our crowd of 50, and had cold beer in the Fridge.

S. G.

What a FABULOUS hidden gem!! My 7yo felt like a real princess. I've never had such wonderful service with the kids - Thank you! Great variety of food, very clean, reasonably priced and excellent service. We'll be back!

J. D.

Good food. Gluten free selection not great.

D. W.

The service could not be faulted. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. Very generous starters. The mains were hit and miss. The goat is amazing but the other 2 mains were very average, one lacking in flavour and the other an eggplant dish was unpleasant in presentation and looked like mush. It would have been nice if the servers had replaced our plates between starter and mains. We did not the get the Roti we ordered. The most concerning thing about this establishment was the state of the loo's. They were filthy.

M. B.

Each piece of furniture, interior decoration and building part has a story, salvaged from old buildings in the area or beyond. A work of art. And good decent food that the family enjoyed.
