I dont do reviews , this must be my first ever. No I didn't get paid or even expect a discount for this ! :) I have been going here for over 20 years and every time it has been excellent. I have Airbnb guests and I never hesitate to send them here - or get a delivery. Dutch well traveled guests , only last week, proclaimed Sages No 2 in the World , being 2nd perhaps to a Curry they had in Nepal. Another jet setter guest ..Bruce had this to say in my AirBnB review .. "Arrived in from Istanbul with two friends. Had wonderful vino reception from Peter before walking to a fabulous neighbourhood Indian restaurant, Sages. A memorable evening.".... The staff are also great , and remember what I like .. which is useful as the old eyes cant read the small print easily. Highly recommend a Kingfisher Strong in the tall bottle , just works with Curry. ( Just spotted I have done a review and it was for Sages .. .. "my Hawaiian AirBnB guests loved it" )
Definitely recommend! All dishes we got were delicious. They have great vegetarian options too. Been here a few times and is always great. Will be back for sure.
Personally I think Sages has the best Butter Chicken and garlic naan (I can't say in Auckland because I haven't tried everywhere that serves Butter Chicken and garlic naan). one of my favourite places to eat.
I must say this place for place for enjoying mouth-watering Indian food in Auckland. I just loved their seafood delicacies, really amazing!!!!
This is the best Indian restaurant in Auckland, I must say! I just loved their Indian cuisine specially the meat and chicken dishes. Very happy with the behavior and attentiveness of their staffs
.
I would definitely meet them again very soon. Thanks to their specially spiced delicious Indian food in Auckland! They combine good food with amazing ambience. sages Indian restaurant just make it happen.
I would definitely recommend visiting and spice up this restaurant for enjoying tasty of Indian cuisine vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
My girlfriend and I had a nice experience here. The staff were very friendly and polite and the setting was nice. One thing that we thought could have been better was that many other Indian Restaurants serve complimentary Poppadoms whilst you wait for your meal. Not this one. And the meal did take a while to arrive, somewhere in the order of 20-30 minutes for two curries. But the curries were very nice, good flavour and quantity. Overall we felt that we would come back if we were in the area and wanting Indian again.
Best Indian takeaways I've had this side of Mount Roskill!
Quick, delicious and generous succulent portions!
Heaps of interesting vegetarian options as well.
The whole place smells great like fresh ingredients, and the staff seemed friendly.. looking forward to dining in sometime soon. :)
Sages is "my local" Indian restaurant, and I've enjoyed their food for the last six or seven years.
Eating in their decor and speed of service is relatively good, and I also frequently get takeaways. I appreciate the delivery as well.
I've had a variety of their curries, all are good. The only issue I've had is the onion bhaji can be inconsistent - sometimes slightly undercooked. Usually great though!
Dine in, one of my favourite Biryani's.
Sets the benchmark like home made.
Will put a smile after every bite.
Ordered chicken tikka masala and it was good. Thick sauce and good mix of meat and capsicum. Rice was also fluffy and delicious. Mango lassi was also nice. Just odd to have it topped with chocolate powder. Soothing background music. Just pricey.
Normally I place a phone order for pick up but last time when I made an online order for delivery they accidentally missed my order. After a long wait for 1hr 53m I got my food with complementary crispy chips, and they offered 10% discount for next order. Anyway I’m highly likely to go back there for only one reason that their curry & nann are super tasty. definitely recommended.

Sages Restaurant review
Up until recently my only experience with Indian cuisine had come from shopping malls and the odd take out. That all changed when a friend invited me to review Sages in Point Chevalier.
Food
The Mango Chicken I ordered was one of the best meals that I have had for a while. The meat was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spices that helped to enhance the dish, without overpowering it. Everything I ate just seemed to come to life, from the moist and tender chicken, to the crispiness of the garlic Naan Bread.
Part of that is down to the work of co-owner and chef Kamal Jhajj, who insists on using only the best ingredients in the dishes he creates, to the point where he’ll close the kitchen if he doesn’t have access to the freshest foods available.
Setup
The restaurant itself is deceptively nondescript, from the outside but becomes warm and inviting once I stepped through the front door. The low lighting and dark red wallpaper really gives Sage’s a romantic vibe that I liked a lot.
The staff were friendly and efficient, with Kamal regularly coming out to see how we were, although I suspect it may have been because it was a slow Wednesday night.
Conclusion
As a reviewer I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to give restaurants a perfect 10, but Sage’s really nails it with its friendly service, delicious offerings, and romantic ambiance.
10/10
Even I needed wait longer than was suggested it Worth. The food was delicious. Very well made and well served... didn't lost the taste even in level 3. Do recommend it
HOT TIP!!! If you're getting home delivery, order on menu log it's about 20% cheaper. Great food as always!!
Seriously great Indian cuisine. Only ever had takeaways so can't speak to the service or dining in but I haven't exoerience consistency like this anywhere else. Perfect 🤌🏽
My experience after many years of stopping by sages to pick up has consistently been a blessing to my week. Filling, rich and fantastic food is a handful of the words that I would use to describe the meals I’ve enjoyed over the years which I’ve eaten here. At this point it is a staple in my diet, something I enjoy regularly.
We've had food from here a number of times now and every time they've knocked it out of the park. Taste, quality, quantity all superb. Lamb biryani, Garlic naan, mango lassi, butter chicken (more tomato coming through on the flavours, best one I've had). Last but definitely not least the Gulab Jamun which has unexpectedly ruined every other Gulab Jamun for me. Nothing has measured up since.
It's not the cheapest but it's definitely worth every penny. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
Nice food, good atmosphere and service. Not too pricey. Recommended, will be going again
