An amazing treat for the senses. Friendly owner and staff who are passionate about their authentic dishes. They gave us fantastic advice (they have heaps of vegan or are easily able to accommodate for allergies such as nuts). I could not believe the price so even worth a drive for sure! I would recommend everyone to go there. If you are going with friends it is an amazing place to share appetisers that work magic for the body and soul!
Really delicious mix of foods! Highly recommend. We were unsure of what to have but ended up being given a wide platter of foods recommended by the chef - really superb experience.
When you feel like being a little adventurous and trying Indian food in Auckland. This time it was more specific maharastrian and Gujarati food. Pretty good spread on the menu to choose from and super quick service too. I think a lot of stuff is probably either prepped earlier on or frozen. I am not complaining, it was nice to satisfy the tastebuds, the food is heavy and great value for money too.
One the best places for vegetarian food. Being a Maharashtrian the food is very authentic and the taste will bring back home. Having the basics of food to well known delicacies of Maharashtra.
Pav bhaji, Bhel, prantha and Special Thali Is Awesome will love to come again. And the customer service is also good. Staff is very friendly with customers and explaing everything about they specials and all. In Dessert Faluda is my Fav. Will see you again soon. ๐๐๐๐๐ฅฐ

This is perhaps the first time I'm writing a review for a vegetarian restaurant cuz I seldom order veg food or visit places that typically serve vegetarian food. But I must highlight that this isn't your ordinary Indian eatery serving run-of -the-mill Chicken Tikka masala, Rogan Josh and other such common dishes. As the name goes, Saattveek means 'Pure' and that's what you get. This is a purely vegan restaurant serving food which is specific to the vegetarian palette of the western states of Maharashtra (home to Mumbai/Bombay) and a bit of Gujarat.
I called for a Vada pav (think Indian burger with a vegetarian patty between bread) which is an all-time favorite and it didn't disappoint me. I also ordered Pav Bhaji which is basically mashed up potatoes & veggies prepared with spices, chillies and onions, served with bread. A couple few more other sweet and savory dishes were called for which are a rare find in Auckland (I didn't come across any in 2 years) unless you're invited to some family brekkie to someone's home.
The decor is plain and simple which is more like a old-school, quaint, domestic setting rather than some flashy, music blaring eateries that surround this place. Go with a friend or explore alone, you would be greeted by a friendly Indian lady who will recommend few things from the menu and that which is being prepared in her kitchen. Don't hesitate to ask her about the menu since a lot of the options listed would be unheard-of for many, but must be tried.
What struck me the most of this place is that it simply stands out from the 15-20 odd Indian restaurants that surround it on all sides and is happy in the niche that it has created for itself serving very different sort of "Indian food". I would surely visit again to try out the mains. Enjoy!
Delicious variety of flavors - amazing mix of appetizers, curries and samosas. We were unsure of what to have but our awesome hostess understood and bought us out a variety of plates. Each one was delicious and of high quality with complex tastes. We will definitely be back to try more. Excellent value too - highly recommend.
I recommend this place to all Vegetarians who love less spicy food ๐๐ป 100% better than many other outlets ๐๐ป. Very friendly staff ๐๐๐ค๐ค
Itโs pure vegetarian. And being Maharashtrian many times I crave for Vada Pav and Misal Pav. Which can be full filled by โSaattveekโ only as this is the only restaurant in Auckland (as I know) who serves authentic Maharashtrian food. We went there on the recommendation of friend who is diehard fan of Misal.
You get authentic Vada pav (I tried so many Indian joints in Auckland) With that dry red chutney ๐ and Misal pav ๐คค highly recommended. Bhakari, thalipeeth also nice. Loved the food.
Amazing food. The restaurant is very clean. Excellent service, very friendly. I tried Mumbai Vada pav, Aloo vadi, thalipeeth etc. Must try, very nice restaurant. If you are missing home made food, then this is the perfect place to eat.
Great food and great service - we come all the way from Bucklands Beach to eat here. They are also open late and know the meaning of customer service! Highly recommended, Ashok and Pratiti
Absolutely amazing! Delicious food and great service. Beautiful fresh food and lots of selection. Would highly recommend and I will be back soon :) :)
Very tasty vegetarian snacks. Skip the night markets and you can get much better quality food here with reasonable prices.
It's a cozy vegeterian restaurant that has amazing Mumbai street food options. The Pav Bhaji was delicious. It has Gujarati and Maharashtrian items on the menu and very authentic. We also found a lot of Jain options here. The owner was really sweet and she made sure we got to eat the food we love. I would recommend everyone looking for authentic Mumbai style food with a lot of Jain options to definitely visit this place. Thank you, Saattveek for the delicious food and the great hospitality!
Very good authentic Maharashtrian food. Reasonable prices. Good service.
Ambience is average but definitely visit for the food.

Good food. A little on the spicier side belying the name of the place but tasty and nice.
Really lovely hostess who brought us a great selection for the menu without us needing to choose. Quick good service and tasty food. Great vegan and vegetarian food.
The only thing is it would be better with less use of oils, S some of I think it quite greasy.
Definitely try it in Sandringham.
Truly amazing vegetarian food. As visitors from the US, we had been longing home cooked Indian food and this really hit the spot. Despite being short staffed today, Varsha made us feel at home and made so much food for our family. Would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially for those who want to taste true, authentic, home cooked Indian food
We had never had Bombay style food before and only recognized a few items on the menu, but the owner was lovely and gave great recommendations. Delicious vegetarian food & cardamom mango lasso.
Delicious Bombay/pune style food served at a hygienic, simple & decent restaurant in Sandringham.
I would surely recommend this place to my friends and relatives in Auckland.
Food: fresh & delicious
Service: quick
Ambiance: simple & sweet
Hygiene : clean & tidy
Overall : 8/10
The lady who runs this place is so friendly and kind. She's very helpful at giving recommendations of new things to try - always providing a delicious meal. The prices are very reasonable. As a vegetarian it is great to finally have no restrictions on the menu - and it's all been yummy every time.
Super delicious vegetarian and vegan food. Their "tapas" are wonderful and fun to share. The staff are very helpful if you don't know what to order. This is one of my favourite cheap and cheerful places to eat.
