Delicious entrees and curries here. and I Love the fact you’re able to BYO. The service was lovely and there’s a bunch of seating. If you forget your wine bottle, strategically, there’s a bottle shop almost next door
You want to make your Indian Cuisine experience more exciting than do it the way we did last time we had it. I know Indian cuisine is already as exciting as it can but you can bump up that excitement even more, with the spices and complex flavours in this cuisine what more can you ask for? Well the last time I had lunch with my team in the office was in this restaurant in K’Road, since we all love our spicy food we decided to splurge on a Indian restaurant and try out all sorts of dishes the some of us haven’t tried. Their dishes vary in spiciness but one of us had this great idea of asking the waiter to make one of the dishes ultra-spicy so that our tongues would burn, they complied and the result was this fun experience.
There are not as many Southern Indian restaurants in Auckland, so my husband and I were overjoyed to have discovered Satya!
I loved the interior decor - bright and cheerful, looked like an Indian palace, which really set the mood!
The curries were not exactly cheap (as you had to pay extra for rice). However, it was delicious and full with spices, and the serving size was decent with huge chunks of meat :)
The best part however were definitely their parathas, which are these buttery flaky breads. We ordered the cheese one, and it was absolutely beautiful and cheesy. The texture was amazing and completely different to naan breads! Would recommend giving these a try for sure :)
Beautifully flavoured food. Was made to my order (being very mild - can’t handle spice which is normally quite difficult at an Indian restaurant) and really enjoyed it

Ambience and customer service:
At first glance, the place looks over the top decorated. The fact that they’re using yellow lights with the brick look inside, does not go well together most of the times. To top it off, the decorations with drapes on top and and the sides of the inside makes it look like more of a decorated dungeon than an Indian restaurant. The saying that “more is less or vice versa”, definitely doesn’t apply.
I have to give credit to the 2 people who took our order because they tried their best to look cheerful. Soon, the guy became more open and nicer to talk to; which I think was very lovely. He came and checked up on our meal which is a very sweet gesture.
Food:
They just wowed me with entrees. So much South Indian flavour and gestures. Every bite was a hit of new flavour. Even the hand made drinks were so nice. You just wanna gulp down all at once. Our mains - one word- REMARKABLE!!! I didn’t think I could find a restaurant that had all Indian flavours here in Auckland. Everything was so nice and very filling. I am definitely coming here again and again and again....
Pricing:
Very generously priced and the price of the food matched the quality of it.
Conclusion:
I think the place deserves a bit more deserved publicity as it clearly is one of the best South Indian restaurants in Auckland and it has topped every other restaurant that I’ve tried.
I also think the venue itself needs quite a bit of do up- maybe lighter colours, some music and less drapes.
Overall I think the food was amazing and I will be coming back to satya again... very soon .
Absolutely loved the food! Service was really good! Staff are very friendly and accommodating! Loved the ambience! Will definitely visit again!!
One of the most friendliest service I have ever had, delicious food with quick service , great job guys I will definitely visit this place now onwards , highly recommended place
Dependably good food, and always a good time. Service could improve, especially communication of the wait staff (enthusiasm and information given).
Fast service and lovely food! We had poppadoms with 3 delicious sauces and one not so nice. We also had a prawn dish which was really tasty. My main was Madras fish which was great. The others enjoyed their meals too.

Really enjoyed the Spinach paneer, great flavour, great texture, and the portion sizes were just right.
Also - very friendly staff - would highly recommend!!
It’s a small place tucked away at the end of K road but it is busy as hell and there are couple of reasons for that. The South Indian food here that we had on this occasion was excellent. Entrees here are also great, they only thing I found weird was big potatoes in chicken and fish entrees. They got our order wrong at times but we’re more than happy to accomodate it. Best to book ahead for this place as it gets very busy and they did seem hard pressed to serve everyone on time but managed it well. Good experience nonetheless, I will be recommending it to my mates.

Hands down best Mango Curry Chicken in town! Butter chicken is up there too. Used to go to their location in Grafton, but that has relocated I think. Lovely service too. Love the papadums!
An excellent place to enjoy the Indian food and Indian cultural heritage. The interior is made in such a way that gives you the feeling of being in India. The food is awesome and staff is very friendly. Very Busy on weekends. Fantastic place for family and big group dinner plans.
They give complimentary sweets if your celebrating birthday or anniversary here. 😇👌

Fantastic food , Just really hard to understand staff , Loved the thums up !
Only giving 4 stars because the food took so long to get to the table but it was delicious. We had various dosas and they were all so yummy. My friend had a fish curry and that was good too. Definitely coming back with my husband as I want him to try their dosas 😊

The best Indian food my mom and I ever had!!! Authentic, spicy South Indian kitchen. Quick service. Both vegetarian and meat dishes perfectly seasoned! I loved it
Love our dinners here. Always delicious meals and so reasonably priced. Not fancy decor but always pleasant.
Veg-friendly 🌱 Loved Satya! Most of the items in the veg & vegan section of the menu where vegan and the owner knew exactly what other items from the menu (sides etc) are already vegan or could be veganized! 16 vegan options + more entrees & sides. Vegan options around 15$ and Omni ones up to 20$ - so very reasonably priced.
Very tasty food and cozy home-like atmosphere :) very good customer service. I’ve tried fish korma and I love it.
