Best curry in the area! Spices are cooked through so you can actually taste rather than have your mouth burnt. A little on the sweet side but perfect in every other way, not too much cream but a lovely thick sauce. Naan is so fresh, fluffy and light. You can BYO wine! Bonus! They were super busy and a little stressed but food came out super fast! Will be back again next week! Also arrives with Uber eats fresh and perfect! Thanks guys! 🙏💓
Chaahat - Great value for money, very tasty curries, naan and rice. My wife had a chicken saagwala, I had a lamb Madras, and the others had butter chicken etc. Everyone was well pleased with their choices, and if you’re ordering a takeaway main on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, then there is a special price which makes it great value too. Decor inside is comfortable and looks pretty authentic and inviting. Would definitely eat there again.
Very helpful staff and delicious food quick service, clean... Good ambience, worth for family functions, cheap and best would love to recommend.
A simple impromptu dinner was all we were after. Lovely interiors & very warmly welcoming hosts. Loved the welcoming touch of being served Popadoms before we even looked at the menu. Our host recommended the Chicken takatak & being partial to king prawns we chose Prawns Masala. Roti & Freshly steaming hot rice arrived with our orders. Beautiful aroma of such excellent Basmati rice cooked to perfection was very impressive. The prawns masala was suberb, fresh aromatic, the masala was very tasteful & had just the right heat, the prawns were fresh, delightfully tender, juicy & perfectly done. This dish exceeded my expectations & is fully recommended to all. The Chicken Takatak was very nicely flavored & most succulent & had ample boneless chicken with a very uniquely cooked flavor. Not sure what takatak really means. Maybe we can enquire next visit. Definitely enjoyed the dishes & always a pleasure to be served so well. Compliments to the staff & Chefs for an excellent dinner. Ample parking outside, clean & tidy everywhere & well worth recommending to all.
Awesome food. Nice service and staff. Everything Freshly prepared and cleanliness maintained. Reasonable prices and various options available for vegetarian and non vegetarian. Recommend to everyone.
Went here by accident but glad we did. Food is amazing! Best Indian food I ever had!
Every dish was full of flavour. Will definatly be back!!
This place has absolutely stunning goat curry or lamb curry. Whatever you order you would not be disappointed and very friendly staff. Even though I mostly ordered from Uber eats they have always been polite on the call.
I literally waited two hours for it to open, looking at the clock and trust me the food is worth the wait.
Highly recommend it :D
Have been here for takeaways multiple times over the past 3-4 years and have never been disappointed. Even the butter chicken - a dish I normally avoid - is among the best curries I've eaten in Auckland.
I can't comment on the ambiance as I've only ever had their takeaways, but am a loyal customer!
Chahaat ..... How do you even pronounce this?
However it's pronounced, in Hindi it translates to, desire.
It's a cold, windy, rainy night in the 09, it's safe to say I had the chahaat for some Indian curry.
2x Complimentary poppadoms.
1x Onion Bhaji to follow
1x Lamb Korma
1x Chicken Fenugreek
1x Garlic Naan
1x Bottle of very reasonably priced Huntaway Reserve Merlot ($36)
The curries were moreish and warmed the cockles.
There's love in this food.
I wouldn't think twice about revisiting.
If you're in the area and need a good dose of Indian loving, come here and do the needful.
we ordered lamb biryani and seekh kebabs via Uber eats. the kebabs were so juicy and moist, totally yummilicious and the biryani was too good with fresh and soft melt in mouth pieces of lamb meat. definitely recommend this restaurant, better than the few other India restaurants in AKL.
Amazing food , great customer service, wonderful ambience . We had starters of veg platter includes onion bhaji , samosa , paneer tikka, momo Manchurian mains including Mathi malai paneer, dal dadka , jeera rice , Raita , butter naan and cheese/garlic naan, vegetable salad , papad . Great deals of $14.99 mains on mon to Wednesday. Must try
We loved our dinner at Chaahat...food was tasty & hot. We ordered Veg food..
Everything was perfect...service or food taste...
Love this place! Curry is great, naan bread nice and crispy and fresh. We sometimes get takeaway from here which is also of the same standard. The decor is a little dated but we actually like that- it’s quite charming and still clean so…. Give it whirl!
Have been here multiple times for takeaway and have never been disappointed.
The curry sizes are standard but have good servings of meat. We've tried a few different curries but keep coming back to the medium spice butter chicken with a garlic naan. It's addictive, especially with the delicious charred edges giving that charcoal taste.
The prices are reasonable and so far my order is always correct and made on time. Look forward to trying more dishes in the future.
THE BEST Indian takeaway I've had yet 🤤🤤🤤 Was recommended by a friend and was not disappointed, we got Butter chicken, the chicken was soft and tender and lots of it, and the lamb was moist and succulent and generous portions. This is our new go to for the best Indian dishes.
Totally loved our dinner at Chaahat last night.
Service was excellent, food was amazing and shockingly well-priced! Plenty of vegetarian options.
The restaurant was packed, but our food was beautifully prepared quite quickly. We were a group of 9, and nobody was kept waiting long.
Kids loved the smoking brownie - but beware - the platter is terrifyingly hot. They will get burned if they accidentally touch it.
The mango kulfi was a much safer bet - beautifully presented, and just like all the food - with an authentic taste of India.
Got it as takeout so was able to sit down at home and enjoy the delicious flavours. Great balance of hot 🔥 and creamy. Perfect size dish and at a wonderful price too for what we got! Was so surprised by the cheap cost yet it being even tastier than the expensive restuarants we frequent.
Very good. Will definitely go back.
Tonight we ordered tandoori chicken (half), a mango lassi and cheese & garlic naan & for mains the butter chicken & lamb Rogan josh.
Overall everything was satisfactory & tasted how it should
Tandoori chicken- very flavourful & good portion
Very impressed 👍🏼😁
Will definitely order from here again
Keep up the good work team ! ☺️
I’ve been coming here religiously for a few years now, usually making the most of the $12.99 takeaway mains they offer from Monday - Wednesday. The butter chicken is top tier! Throw in a couple of naan breads and you’ve got a hearty meal for 2. You can thank me later!
