Dinner for 4 yesterday was great. The server was attentive and friendly. The curries were excellent: flavourful sauces and generous proportions of meat and paneer.
Great place for dinner. Neha (staff) was extremely good. Food was delicious. Service was exceptional. Completely money worth. Thanks
Nice Indian place, good food all round and pleasant ambiance. Quick friendly service also parking in the rear.
Found this place by chance and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely and accomodating staff. Food was yummy and well priced. Meals were a good size. Would happily return.
+ Delicious food especially lamb madras and naan. Great customer service, great sitting and waiting area, drink prices are good, few Parking as well.
- food prices quite expensive compared to lunch deals they have.
Decided to try this due to Zomato Gold. I had the lamb korma which was good. Quantity was a bit below average, however the staff was nice and it was quite comfortable place to dine in.

4.5/5
My parents and I love Indian food, and while they were up here visiting (early July) we noticed this restaurant was close to their motel. Seeing as it had been a while since we'd had North Indian cuisine, due to some very good South Indian places opening back home in New Plymouth, we thought we'd give it a try.
We were all very glad we did! Delicious food and lots of it. I had the best chicken tikka masala I've had in a long time, and even my vegetarian mother who's notoriously hard to please, enjoyed her meal. Only reason it's not a full 5/5 for me is the service left a little to be desired—having to ask for a lot of things like warm plates etc. Otherwise it was excellent!
My parents are visiting again soon and we will be going back!
Visiting Auckland from Australia and stumbled across this cute little Indian restaurant. The smell drew us in! The food was absolutely delicious! I ate so much and felt so full but I couldn't let it go to waste. Staff were friendly and polite and everything was spotless - so clean. Highly recommend
Outstanding food and service
Went looking for taste sensations and hit the jackpot
The naan were as good as it gets
Can't wait to take Krishna and Mini and Arbi and Prashan
Definitely on the go to list for Newmarket
I had never expected such good Indian food at a foreign land but this restaurant changed my perspective. It was my first meal in New Zealand. Price is reasonable and food is tasty and the owner is super friendly. He politely shared information about markets upon asking. 5/5 for everything.
Had Dinner with my family. They have really good quality food. Good Atmosphere and vibes. Now, they are under new ownership and she has aa good attitude towards the customers. Going to be my regular place for Indian food. Only drawback, they close Sunday But i have requested to open on Sunday to attract more people. Let see when they implement with customer request.
Awesome place :)
Went here last night. I had butter paneer and my partner had the chicken korma. The best curry we have had in a very long time! Definitely recommend. The waitresses were lovely too and so welcoming. Will return soon
This restaurant deserves the 5 stars. The food was amazing. From the onion ring starters to the mango chicken, lamb madras and naan. It was all exceptional. We feed 3 people for $70 too, so the price is very reasonable. The cheese naan was the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few. If you’re wanting a good Indian meal, don’t go past The Chef.
The food was delicious! best Indian food I have had since travelling Oz and NZ for 3years since leaving the UK. (The UK has amazing Indian food) Friendly staff, Cosy little restaurant and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning!
Food was a definite 5/5. Service was good, but had to ask for warm plates and extra lighting. Best chicken tikka masala I can remember having and delicious garlic naan. Rest of the party loved their dishes too.
We love Indian food and this place did not disappoint. The lady who served us was very attentive and provided excellent customer service. Will be coming back again soon.
Delicious Indian food. We had vegetarian curries and the daal and the paneer. Even chicken biryani was good with nice flavours. Walk in for the food. You will have to park near by some streets. Staff was courteous.
Great quiet little place during the day. Food is wonderful, very clean and tidy. Great place to go if you love Indian food, or looking for something different in the Newmarket area. I always manage a single lunch trip here every week 😁
The food was awesome. My daughter will remember her birthday at the chef for long time. Thanks anuragji foe your kind hospitality. Recommending THE CHEF with 5 star rating.
