For our Saturday lunch, me and pops ventured out to Lower Hutt for some errands and visited Gr8 Tandoori. They are an Indian 🇮🇳 restaurant serving a variety of starters, biriyanis, and vegetarian + non-vegetarian curries.
Paneer Pakora 🧀 $12
Firstly, we got good portions for what you paid for. Decent presentation and were glad that the Pakoras were not oily/greasy. Unfortunately, we felt that the dish did not have enough seasoning. Even with the coconut chutney + spinach leaves, I wished there was a bit more salt🧂or spice 🌶 added to the filling. Also, I would like the Pakora batter to be less dry and give more crunch when biting into it.
Kakori Kebab 🍢🐑 $16
Overall, both of us liked the dish. The portion size was just right and was not a heavy dish that we could enjoy before our main. The minced lamb was soft and cooked well. Again, it would be good to get a bit more seasoning in the lamb so that we can really taste the "ginger garlic and spices".
Chicken Saagwala + Kastoori 🐓🥘 $13
This is definitely the highlight of our meal. Firstly, a great serving of chicken breast was in each of the curries. We were glad to reduce the chilli/spicy level. That way, it makes it easy to taste the other unique flavours in each curry🍛 such as the spinach/cream (Saagwala) and then the Methi/onion/gravy (Kastoori).
We also liked the garlic naan a lot. Had the right amount of thickness, was cooked just right without being raw/overburnt and you can really taste the garlic in each bite.
Final Words
Overall, we had a good experience at Gr8 Tandoori and would recommend to anyone wanting to try out a new Indian restaurant. Despite some letdowns in the starters, the service was friendly to talk to and were hospitable to our needs.
Personally, to get the best experience, I would skip the starters and go straight into the mains. Maybe get a couple of mates for a takeaway or dine-in and mix it up with the naans or curries.
The service was on point and the food stunning, even though it lacked spice. We had mango lassis, butter chicken, mango chicken, a lamb dish, kabuli & garlic cheese naans, rice, and mango chutney. I think next time we will have the curries as medium heat. I'd like to go back and try things I don't usually have. When I feel like Indian food, this will be my go to place.
One of the best beer in the town.. Gr8 Beer
Authentic taste and friendly staff
Great food always consistent. Value for your dollar polite friendly staff, Took some visitors with us was very busy on Sunday but we didn't have to wait long for our meal, our visitors were very imorrssed
This our go to place when we feel like having good indian food. This restaurant is one of the best in Wellington and Lower Hutt. Manager and chef are very courteous and the front staff is very friendly and always welcomes with a smile. If you need a good india food this is your place to be.
Excellent Food and Excellent Service both for in house and while catering for private functions. Well mannered staff and you can even view your food being made.
Fantastic food and good service. It was easy to ask for more rice and water, as needed, and the curries were delicious. We went on a Tuesday evening and it was quiet.
One of the better Indian restaurants in Lower Hutt. Great lunch specials and good service! Would recommend the Tandoori Chicken with mint chutney.
The best Indian food in Wellington! I go to other Indian restaurants- but nothing so far has beat this place. Amazing flavours and service. Definitely will be going back. If you haven’t tried already- this place won’t disappoint!
This place is like my favourite place. Dinner once a week is a surety. Delicious food, no flaws, friendly staff especially Manjot. He gives a great customer service, very friendly.
This is one of my favourite places when I want to eat Indian food due to its authenticity. Yesterday went there with my Kiwi folks and was a little bit concerned about the spices. The food was lovely and my folks loved it. The team was very professional and service was good. Thank you and keep up the great work!
The fantastic food and really friendly staff have made me a regular here for over a year! I'd usually like to try different meals, but the one's I've had have been so delicious that it's a struggle to have something other than them! Highly recommend this restaurant.
My family and I have been here dozens of times since it opened and have never been disappointed in the slightest. The food is incredible, and everyone we've recommended it to has raved as well. Absolutely the best restaurant in the Hutt, with excellent service staff as well!
Great food. Good service. Good value! Even the take-outs are amazingly well presented. Friendly staff. Great location.
Gr8 Tandoori I'm not so sure... Good Tandoori probably yes.
Conveniently delivered in Lower Hutt for $12 extra within about 45min.
Butter Chicken (medium heat) was nice and creamy but too sweet for my liking.
Other members of our group enjoyed a Chicken Madras and a pea-heavy Vegan style dish.
Was introduced to this hidden gem by a friend. Absolutely fantastic service, the best food and reasonably priced. Clean restaurant and toilet. No booking was required. Highly recommend.
One of the best in Wellington, food and service are so good, making it my family’s the go to place for celebrating a special day or just have a satisfying meal in general, highly recommend!
We had a large group at Gr8 Tandoori for dinner. Pradeep was looking after us and gave excellent service. He was attentive, respectful, patience, and super accommodating as we had to add extra chairs. The food was tasty and the atmosphere pleasant. We had a great time and would highly recommend Gr8 Tandoori for your next meal out!
This is my fourth time coming here.
The food is phenomenal. The flavours are amazing. One of the greater Indian restaurants around. Food is consistent always great meals even with big groups of people. Will be coming back time and again.
I had the chicken Tikka masala takeaway. Delicious chunky bits of chicken. Great flavour, not too heavy. Medium spice has definitely got a kick to it so it's great if you have a blocked nose 😂. The naan was soft and light with heaps of garlic butter. Best I've had in a little while. Also great that they are open on Mondays coz not much else is and this place is worth it.
