Craving for dahi puri and one of my Indian’s friend introduce me to this restaurant and from what i can say the server very yummy dahi puri. Definitely will come often here
Love this place! BYO that is quite, comfortable, with great service. I visit here once a month and order the Thali - (selection of various dips with a choice of a main - FISH is my go-to). This dish is great value and lots of fun to eat. Get there :D
Amazing and authentic South Indian food! Thali plates were delicious as was the masala dosa. Food was quick to arrive and service was friendly and helpful. Lots to choose from. Will be going back there again very soon!
Satya at Mt Eden was a rather small restaurant. Food was special & nice. We started with Dahu Puri, masala papadom & idli. Satya special chicken curry was a bit salty by itself, but tasted well with yogurt or rice. Chicken dosa was crispy when it came and better to be eaten right away; anyway it's still a good dish. My favourite dish was the rather spicy lamb biriyani. Both cheese & garlic Paratha were good too. I tried a lot of Indian food before, but it was quite a different experience at Satya.
(N.B. Photos showed dishes in the order I described.)

The service is ok, but that is covered by the great food. It's an all south indian restaurant, and not everyone will enjoy it, but the experience is genuine. It's great for south Indian people looking for a flavor away from home.
This place offers pretty good south Indian variety of food. I've been here a few times and have tried their dosa's, curries and biriyanis and the food has been consistently decent.
I'll recommend trying the butter chicken dosa or the onion/tomato uttapa.
This is the best Indian we have enjoyed in NZ. It is so authentic - each dish lovingly prepared. We have been back to Satya several times, introducing different friends, and each time we are impressed yet again.
Our favourites mains so far are the Rava Dosa with Lamb Korma, the Egg Plant curry, and the Chicken Tikka Masala.
For entrees you must try the Dahi Puri, and the Masala Papadam. The Satya Chicken entree is also a favourite.
The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, and the service is very friendly and helpful.
If you want a genuine Indian experience with flavours that explode in your mouth I can't recommend Satya enough. You will get like us, and start craving your next Satya curry!
I must say this was a wonderful lunch. Chicken Tikka Masala. Not heavy at all with a hint of spice and succellent chicken really made the dish. I understand they import and make their own apices for their resraurants focussung on quality and consistancy. Probably one of the Best dishes i have had this year. A definate must. Service was excellent and the interaction of the mamaner with customers was supurb. Well done Satya Team.
They aslo do home deliveries which is fantastic.
Went there on a midweek night so only couple more tables were full. Service was quick. Tried cheese and onion Uttapam - nice and soft, Cheese Dosa - which came with a cheese and savory potato filling which was flavorful, Chicken Dosa - Chicken was dry and not as good as we expected and Butter Chicken Dosa - Plain dosa was very thin, crispy and yummy and the curry was good too.
Liked the place. May visit again.
Wonderful experience coming here, the staff are friendly, humble and very helpful, and the food is divine.
The restaurant was authentic and had a wonderful atmosphere.
They import pressed leaf disposable plates which are amazing and support the natural recycling process which impressed me considerably.
Tried the Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh and Chick Pea curry with Naan bread and rice, and the food was lovely.
This family run business, over 3 different locations offers free Lunch and Dinner on Christmas Day to say thank you to everyone, and have done as an ongoing tradition!!
Really great food. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options being South Indian. Very reasonably priced. We were the only table when we arrived on a Sunday night and service was a little slow would be my only criticism. I will definitely be back again. Was nice trying paratha instead of naan too.

Great service, lovely food presentation and beautiful flavours. Prices were fair and the dishes came out fresh, hot, and tasty. No frills, no BS, and no issues whatsoever. They were friendly and let us chat for over an hour after our dinner was finished without being disturbed. Definitely a nice find, and would make this my regular spot if I lived here.
Really enjoyed this meal tonight from Satyas. Was not overpowering at all. Decent price and quantities of meal. Will definitely be coming back her. Lovely chutneys too.
After seeing mixed reviews we weren't sure this visit was going to be good, but it was actually really good. The service was friendly (and we got given extra poppadoms and puri for free so that all 4 of us could get the same amount - a nice thought). 3 of us had dosa which were really good, and the youngest had butter chicken, which was also noticibly better than the norm. Great dipping sauces and chutneys. Would go back, nice!
Four of us had the pleasure of dining at Satya last night. The staff were great and the food even better, I really enjoyed the South Indian flavours and it wasn't too hot for my delicate palate. Every dish was well executed and the prices and for food and drink were very reasonable.
Satya consistently serves up the best Indian food in Auckland in my opinion. Great selection on the menu, including lots of vegetarian, i.e. its authentic. Additionally I am lactose intolerant and the chef and manager went out of their way to ensure I was well looked after, even though the group choose a banquet option. Far better in this regard than Oh Calcutta, which is the most expensive Indian food in Auckland.
The decor is not flashy but they've made an effort with bright colours, tables a little cramped. If you are a real fan of Indian food this place is highly recommended.
Extremely grateful for the free Christmas lunch that Satya hosts on this special day. Our family loved the food and kind service by the owners. Thank you for having us in your place. We will be back.
Fantastic gourmet South Indian cuisine. Doesn't look much of a place outside but the food is worth the trip. We've been coming here for years. The quality and quantity of the food never disappoints.
Absolutely amazing how they give Christmas dinner for free. I have been the last two Christmas days and will go again. I have also been a few times as a paying guest. Highly recommended. Thankyou for what you do. Really appreciated.
