Prices are good for the variety of items in the buffet section. If you don't mind the crowd, it's good for a spot of lunch.
I love paradise. Always so delicious. The Indian style butter chicken and the butter paneer are delicious. The three pack of butter naan are so good too. Also recommend chicken 65 but the harabhara chicken has waaaaay too much oil. I tipped out 1/4 cup of oil from our dish. Makes it not so enjoyable when you see that.
Shared between 3 people, we got two mild baked butter chicken, 4 garlic naan, lamb chops and chicken 65.
The portions were massive and price was affordable as well! Service was good and the food tasted amazing. Super flavourful especially the garlic naan which I highly recommend! The chicken 65 was quite salty so definitely make sure you have rice next to you!
Cold nights call for some legit hot Indian food with my lovely bunch of colleagues !😝 This is now my favourite restaurant for Indian cuisine hahaha! Love the Indian butter chicken, meat was so tender! I reckon the fish tandoori was the best. It was my first visit and the food fails to disappoint. Portion was really big and really good value of money!
This is our favorite indian joint in central Auckland. We came here after lockdown and they have expanded big time. We ordered garlic naan, chicken masala curry, chicken 65, mutton biryani rice, and mango lassi. The garlic naan is so fresh and crispy, you can see the chefs making it in the front of store. I highly recommend the masala curry if you're after savoury curry with a kick. Chicken 65 is a light batter coated chicken that tasted chinese spices. Can't go wrong with mango lassi, order it to mute the spice haha. You have to try their delicious mutton biryani which how I describe an indian fried rice with very tender meat throughout it with very fragrant spices. The portions here are huge so prepare to eat left overs. Overall, great indian food with very organized service. It's a pay before you eat place. I'll be back here again!
You will never be disappointed. The value is not comparable to any other curry house. Once in 6 months for me..
I think it is the best Indian restaurant in Auckland. I love chilly chicken and lollipop chicken so much, and my parents are big fans of their naan.
I loved the buffet at Paradise, the staff are super friendly and so much choice. Plus it’s a buffet, what’s not to love? The naan is made fresh for you, and cut in half (such a good portion). I think it might be a favourite naan bread.
The lamb rogan josh and chickpea curry were my favourite. I love how you get to try all the curries too!
Tasty and great value for money... plenty of chicken in the $40 pack.

Its been a few years since I’ve had Paradise and they are as good if not even better than I remember. Theres so much to choose from the menu and everything we had was so good. We tried the chicken dum biryani, mutton biryani, Paradise special chicken tikka masala, lamb roganjl josh and garlic naan. I was wowed from the first bite. Their food is nothing like the other takeaways out there and their flavours are just so distinct, even their garlic naan tasted different! I am very impressed by Paradise, not just with the quality of the food but also the reasonable prices and value for money. I’ve heard so many great reviews of this place and definitely did not disappoint! will come back and try the other items on their menu which I’m sure be also be very good! Superb!
Always a treat to dine at Paradise. There are a variety of dishes for you to choose. We always ended up eating too much. The chicken tasted much better than those from a food court with authentic material.
Food was great as always. Didn't wait to be seated despite appearing at 7pm without a reservation, as it wasn't packed with customers. Food arrived after more than 40mins of wait. Not surprisingly as we were there during peak hour, it would have just been better if they inform customers before hand. Being in the business for a long time now, we expected better service. The restaurant atmosphere could be better. It was a bit smelly and feels dirty. We were seated near the toilet/storage area.
Despite the extended waiting times, the patience was truly worth it for the delightful experience we had with the chicken tikka gravy and garlic naan. The flavors of the dish were rich and authentic, and the tenderness of the chicken was impressive. The garlic naan was perfectly cooked, with a satisfying blend of softness and crispness. While the wait might have been lengthy, the delicious meal definitely made up for it, leaving us craving for more despite the initial delay.
GREAT FOOD . BUT THE FOOD WASNT ON TIME!
THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON THAT SHIFT WERE TIRED OF THEIR JOB!
BUT I DONT BLAME THEM AND I HIGHLY RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO PREPARED THE FOOD!
WILL I VISIT AGAIN? YES
DO I RECOMMEND OTHER? MAYBE
Long time ago since i ate here. Nothing has changed the food is superb as it used to be.
Great restaurant for to have a beautiful meal.
Our favourite Indian restaurant in town. Keep ordering Chicken Tikka, chicken lollipops, which are must haves. The naan as always soft and tasty. Will keep coming back because of their food! Authentic experience ✨
We were 20 of us for a work dinner, the staff went out of their way to accomidate all of us.
We were from 8 different countries and cultures but all of us enjoyed and relished every meal we had ordered.
Planning to come back.
Paradise is my favourite Indian restaurant for past 14 + years never disappointed.
Lovely place. Great food. Variety of dishes
We got sitting outside , which was wonderful experience and Ayushi was the star for tonight. She suggested us best food and served us well. Hope to see you soon guys. Food was awesome next time will try biryani. 🫡🫡🫡😇
Finally I was here for the first time, the famous and legendary Paradise!
Heard heaps of how good it is. Also I've been eating their meal boxes from dairy a while so it was a total excitement to me to be able to dine in, finally.
From starter, to the main to the drink, I enjoyed the entire process a lot. Nice design eating environment, good service even it's a Tuesday evening it's still packed.
To be honest it's not a cheap Indian dining place, but it's definitely the iconic shop along Sandringham.
