Tasty. Delicious Indian curries that you would love to have again and again.
Awesome, friendly and welcoming staff..
5 stars from your regular customer :)
Highly recommended. We've been to Shahi a few times and keep coming back for more. The curries are delicious (perfect balance of spice, coconut cream, sweetness and gravy) and are so reasonably priced.
I ordered the mild dhal with rice and a garlic cheese naan bread. The food was delish, and it was the nicest, bestest, most delicious naan I had ever tasted! I enjoyed sitting on the cushions on the floor and also had the option of the seats on the upper level. Overall, the food was yummy, and the service great! Would recommend. Thank you guys :-)
I ordered vegetarian takeaway. Palak paneer, roti, rice n samosa. It tastes really nice. Samosa was different but tastes really nice. Roti was awesome but I asked for plain n they gave me buttered one. Palan paneer was good. Overall good experience.
Great little Indian restaurant in Herne Bay. Beautiful North Indian curries prepared from scratch while you wait. The cheese filled Naan is just delicious. Won't burn a hole in your pocket either!
Every time I buy curry and rice from this place, it's been really tasty, awesome delicious flavored curries and lovely, friendly staff with a smile :)
whether it would be dine-in, takeaway or delivery, I would recommend Shahi (Herne Bay, Ponsonby).
Well cooked food and food is delivered while it's still hot :)
Five stars to the chef and staff :)
I'm a regular at Shahi Jervois Road now, as I've had such a great experience with eating there. We often order takeaways as the Butter Chicken here is the best I've ever had - not too sweet, but full of flavour. But better than that, the staff always recognise me and are so friendly! They often recognise my voice (and regular order) on the phone and are lovely and generous, often treating me with free poppadoms or delicious desserts. They were also very kind when I had a group of friends go there for dinner on my birthday - a number of my friends had not shown up, so there were less of us than I'd booked for, and we were a bit late too. But they didn't say a word about it and were friendly as ever, even though I'm sure it was very annoying. Would recommend Shahi 110%, for the lovely people and the great food!
Great hot butter chicken, love their curries and naan. Perfect takeaway food when we lived nearby. The Remuera branch is good too, reliable & reasonable.
10 guys walking into a Indian restaurant can be quite daunting. The staff handled the situations really well, with great beer, great popadoms and a curry with too flavor with naan bread to match.
Super tasty!!!
Best butter chicken in Auckland.
Randomly tried out this place tiny hole in the wall but boy they do a good curry!
Incredibly friendly welcoming staff. Highly recommend this place for Indian takeaways.
My new local!
I've just got home after a meal at Shahi and felt compelled to write a review as it was so good. Great service, very cute dining area upstairs away from the hustle and bustle of the busy kitchen and some of the best Indian food I have had in a long time. Really tasty dishes with fresh ingredients. I recommend the dumplings for dessert, unusual but super yummy.
A great hidden gem: away from the hustle and bustle of Ponsonby, I love the atmosphere in this restaurant. The service is quick and precise, the food is delicious and fairly priced. However, what really makes me come back here (a part from the mixed platter - awesome) is the genuine kindness of the staff.
Really great food, they always make us an unparalleled chilli cheese garlic naan, nice to eat in a relaxed non-pretentious environment, my partner and I love it!
The people and service was awesome.
I have never had such awesome Butter Paneer before until I tried Shahis Butter Paneer. Was just awesome.
Thank you very much guys for making me feel welcome. 🙂 Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
Friendly service and delicious food. I have recently rediscovered this little Ponosnby gem. I ordered the chicken cashew (mild) and was really impressed. The new owners make a much better curry than the previous owners and I highly recommend the food. I have been back a few times and each time I have been happy.
Such good food. Looks tiny from outside but has 3 levels of seating and tables. Great service they were super friendly. All the curries are Gluten Free and cooked in individual pans.
I'm a local and a regular and love the Tadka Dhal and Prawn Malabari . Saag Panir is a favourite too. My kids love the butter chicken. The guys are always lovely and super quick for a pick up. Shahi is the best Indian food in NZ.
Just grabbed a small Lamb Rogan Josh to take away... and it was very good! Delicious aromatic flavours and the lean meat was cooked nicely. It was also a good portion size for a small female like me, but you'll definitely want a large if you are a hungry guy or if you want leftovers.
It took around half an hour from the time I phone ordered, and I was only waiting for around 3mins when I came to pick up at the informed time.
Overall I enjoyed the meal and am looking forward to trying out more at this little local spot :)
First time visiting this restaurant and we were blown away! Highly recommend the chefs special goat curry but we enjoyed all the food. Best indian restaurant. Great service, the couple working are very helpful and friendly. Will be our regular go to!
We love coming here - it’s very cute and cosy, the staff are wonderful, and the food is delicious!

I'm a regular, they have great food and super friendly staff :) Great location too. I cannot recommend the cheese garlic naan enough! Definitely recommended!
Dining in is upstairs, I love it but not easy for people with reduced mobility.
The friendliest staff, such a good experience! Been to Shahi a number of times and tried various items on the menu, they’ve never disappointed.
If you are living in the Herne Bay/Ponsonby area then lucky you. If you live far away then you should make the trip, it’ll be worth it.
