Review Indian Lounge - Mount Eden

I jogged here for an afternoon. I smell the smell of Nan bread from this restaurant. It makes me hungry and thinks of curry with a Nan bread. From that moment I decided to come here to try. A week later I came here for lunch, they were really better than what I expected. I started really like Indian food and want to try more flavors. Lunch that day made me happy. Thanks for Chefs! Ambience: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Food & drinks: 10/10 Parking: No

Food was delicious we were too late and we wanted to have some indian curry and naan.. called them and they made our food ready as it was closing time .. we appreciate they didnt refuse us .. as we called many restaurants on that day they were keep saying we not taking any din in orders but indian lounge did 🥰 really appreciate that .,thank you chef but seeems like closing staff was too tired lol wasnt happy to greet us .. overall experience was good

Went for dinner on a Saturday evening. Food was very nice. The staff is also very friendly and the service is also good but it can be a bit slow and can take some extra time for the food to come on the table. Average cost per person is $20 to$25. Parking can be challenge. Clean toilets.

Not just a restaurant; it's a journey back in time, offering a villa home experience that sets it apart from the rest. My recent visit left me thoroughly impressed, and I can't wait to share the highlights. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is a delightful blend of nostalgia and contemporary elegance. The decorations transport you to a different era, with interesting lightings that add a unique touch to the dining experience. The lighting, carefully curated to create an atmosphere that's just enough to see, etched the evening into my memory - I absolutely loved it. The waiting area, adorned with comfy sofas, ensures that even a brief wait is a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It's these thoughtful details that contribute to the overall charm of Indian Lounge. Now, let's talk about the real heroes—the staff. A special shoutout to one remarkable individual who not only provided impeccable service but went above and beyond. With a group of 12, remembering each dish by heart is no small feat. When it came time to split the bills, this absolute savior made the process smooth and prevented any potential chaos. I'd give a 100000 out of 5 just for that extraordinary effort. The food, of course, was exceptional. The flavors were rich, and the menu offered a variety that catered to every palate. The combination of outstanding cuisine, a nostalgic ambiance, and a staff member who deserves all the accolades makes Indian Lounge a true gem in Mt Eden. In conclusion, Indian Lounge Mt Eden is not just a restaurant; it's an experience worth savoring. From the villa home ambiance to the exceptional staff and delicious food, it's a journey that I can't recommend enough. A solid 5-star!

5 Star for everything, would be much better if they have bigger table's. We ordered mains for 4 people, table is not enough 🙂 . Highly recommend for Indian food.

I can only comment on the Butter Chicken and it was absolutely divine. The garlic naan was so fresh soft and fluffy very moreish. The place has a lovely atmosphere beautiful setting and friendly helpful staff.

Wonderful restaurant in Mount Eden village. Set in a gorgeous old building, which has been nicely decorated, creating a cosy relaxed atmosphere.They have a great lunch special, making it an inexpensive place to great some superb food. The food is awesome, and cooked to your spice tolerance. The food tastes as good as it looks. The menu is extensive, without being overwhelming, and the bar has a decent selection of drinks. If you're in the area, and looking for some great Indian cuisine, then this place is a must.

This is our go-to restaurant. Loaded fries is one of the best starters. Curries are among the best I've tried in Auckland. Staff are polite and their service is excellent. Bonus: In winter season, this restaurant feels very warm inside.

Food was so delicious and their customer service is 10/10. Would recommend the place to others.

Cannot fault this place. Driven past it for years being a local and finally came in for one of the nicest curries I’ve had in a long time. Lots of variety and different curries made for some satisfied bellies. Excellent service the staff were friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend. Minny the waitress was aMazing

Great place food was amazing atmosphere was great friendly staff quick service. Enjoyed the evening there

Awesome Indian food!! Flavourful and delicious! The staff were really nice and accommodating. There's also really lovely live music

Indian Lounge were our caterers for our son’s wedding reception @ an open farm in West Auckland. The food and their service was exemplary. The starters and the mains were simply lip smacking and so good. The experience was awesome. Our heartfelt thanks to the team @ Indian Lounge for making our special evening memorable.

Went there on Wednesday night with my family, Everything was perfect, food was delicious and customer service was on point. We complained about one of our mocktails being a bit salty, they changed it straight away without any question, really impressed by that. Will definitely visit again.

I love this place. Highly recommended. We usually go there whenever we want to go out for dinner. I love all the entree's in this menu. The ambiance is lovely and the service is great. I love gulabjamun with malai kulfi 'awesome' as a dessert. Moreover, I really like the logo ' peacock' of this restaurant. Keep it up guys!

Best Indian restaurant in NZ 😍 Been here twice, delicious flavour food and impeccable service. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back ❤️‍🔥

Delicious food and one of my favourite Indian restaurants BUT tonight was really disappointing. Ordered three curries and two cheese naan. I asked for one to have no rice. The delivery was earlier than expected which was great but there was no rice at all. I rung up to inform them and had a lovely man apologise for the error and would send it out straight away. 30 minutes, still no rice. I rung again to check up as the curries were now cold and was told they would check and then hung up on me. I rung back 6 minutes later asking again about the rice and why I was hung up on and was told 5 minutes. Finally sit down to eat dinner after the rice arrived to have two burnt naan with NO cheese despite paying extra for this option. Left a terrible taste in our mouths and quite frustrated. Not sure what happened tonight but fingers crossed it improves for next time

We had hosted our baby shower event and have been impressed by the food, service and atmosphere of this place. The staff are friendly and great at what they do. Highly recommended for anyone looking for catering or simply dining for Indian food.

2 weeks ago we been there for celebrating birthday of our friend....we had a great time... The food was absolutely wonderful,from preparation to presentation, very pleasing.the wait staff was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it please go and enjoy the meal with your near and dears...

Is there a rating more than 5*?? Food was super especially the Afghani Chicken tikka. Service was with a 100 watt smile.. it's called "Andy Touch". If I have to go Indian.. I will come all the way from west for this food..

Best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been too! Our server Smit was amazing!! The food and customer service was �

Very nice place. Great service provided by staff. Good food and very confortable atmosphere.

Without a doubt the nicest Indian restaurant I've ever been to. The food was delicious, the service was lovely and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. Manager was also really friendly which was icing on the cake. I'll definitely be back and bring friends.

Great service, awesome staff �� beautiful ambience �super delicious Food and to top up great Hospitality

One of the best Indian restaurant! All of Staffs are very friendly always rendering a good service with a big smile. Their customer service and food service is awesome. I whould recommend INDIAN LOUNGE to all atleast onece am sure you will love their food 🥘 and customer service...........

Great service, lovely staff and special thanks to Andy bhaji for making our bday dinner feel like home! Very authentic food especially Bhindi masala.. we loved it.. Highly recommended Cheers

Great food and the best staff service we have experienced at Auckland restaurants!! Always pleasant and smiling and very accomodating. We have had many awesome dining experiences here!!

I have been to many indian restaurants , this one stands out. Good quality ingredients, friendly service and great location. I will highly recommend.

Absolutely loved it. The ambience was spot on, and the location couldn't get any better. The food was delicious and the service was great! Big THUMBS UP!������

Amazing atmosphere and such polite and respectful service! The serving sizes were just right and everything tasted devine. 10/10 would recommend.

The dinning experience takes you to another level. Great food, staff and very lively environment. I am a dialysis patient and the team at Indian lounge are always happy to cater my special needs. What else would one want more.

Visited this place on rakhi full packed. Delicious food. Friendly service. Perfect presentation too. Excellent decor and seating. Biryani is yummy. Good cocktails. Poonam Sharma was really nice and adjusting. Loved the food here refer to the images. Good vibe. Wide range of bar menu's. Kingfisher premium always the best.

Absolutely terrible entrees, been here a couple of times foods been amazing. But not tonight. Firstly got sent the wrong drinks, two out of three entrees got sent out to our table which of one was sent back for looking like it not only got slapped on the plate but also tasted like a plate of sour sauce with a samosa broken up into it. And the pani puri was absolutely awful not only did it take about 15 minutes after all the entrees it also had one tiny piece of potato in it filled with tamarind chutney that was super sour. Honestly horrible. Then came mains, at this point everyone at my table was pretty hungry, everyone's mains but mine was pretty good. I had the palak paneer.. and at this point I wish I had just left and gone to maccas. It was oily, tasted like mustard seeds was a bad consistency, BUT! The paneer cubes itself was cooked well.

This place never seems to disappoint every visit I go, friendly and sufficient customer service & the food is amazingly tasty!!! . Now is winter so , visit here enjoy the warm and covered outdoor balcony seating with lighting and heating . Good atmosphere! Try the deserts <br/>it a must !!!

Came here on Friday evening. We placed an order and had to wait a whole 50 minutes for our food to arrive. The staff never informed us of this wait time else we would have gone to another place to eat. Once we got the food one of the curries (out of 4) just tasted really off (the mushroom one). At the moment I'm writing this, my stomach also doesn't feel too good so I have a feeling it may be due to that curry. Will not be coming back to this place ever.

Absolutely love this place!! It’s our go to spot for some Indian delicacies. Must visit

Indian Lounge is one of those places where you will love to go again & again as they give you such experience and hospitality with warm welcome... Food tastes too good and their presentation is also nice. Must visit for Indian Cuisine....

We had ordered food through online. The chilli chicken we had ordered was very very disappointing. The chicken was so hard and it had a very different taste ,though the gravy was good but we were not comfortable having the meat. We called them up n they made another one for us. But even that was miserable. Something was wrong with the chicken, it was tasting very bad and sadly had to throw it away. If not taste, but the quality of food need to be improved.

I've eaten from here 5 times. The first time we took a friend to lunch and the food was exceptional. Expecially enjoyed the indo Chinese food (this was in Feb 2018)<br/><br/>The next time we went there we went with a colleague who knew the owner so we got somewhat special treatment... But we only ate the Indian main dishes which were very average. But the portion sizes were better than the first time.<br/><br/>The 3td time. I ordered uber eats and got indo Chinese but the food was very salty and not much other taste with minimal meat... I felt ripped off tbh :/<br/><br/>Then earlier this year I took a friend from out of town here because she wanted to eat indo Chinese. We couldn't see any items like that in the menu so we asked the staff and they pointed to exactly 3 indo Chinese dishes, all vegetarian. We were really disappointed since that was the whole point of choosing thsi restaurant.<br/><br/>And then yesterday we decided to give them another chance so we ordered the fried rice and was told they were out of eggs.<br/><br/>My overall review is that the service at this place is that they are inconsistent consistently.

The service was very nice.. the girl who was serving us was very helpful and friendly. Everything was going Well, until our mains arrived, we ordered Malai kofta (4/5) and kadhai chicken (0/5) .As the kadai chicken was rubbish and tasteless, we made complain to the manager he made it look as if it was our fault that we didnt like the taste and he didnt even apologised once and he told us tht they are catering so many people tonight and they didn’t received any complaint and they didn’t find any fault ,it must be your taste buds( he said). We were not expecting him to give us discount but one sorry could have changed the whole situation or could have replaced the curry as it was the full portion , as i work in same industry i know how one sorry would have change whole experience .I think this was my last visit to this place i came here with my best friend to give her a birthday treat but the whole experience was ruined <br/>THanks to the manager.

Average food, overrated place. All the curries taste same. We other three different curries, but all the curries had same taste. Still craving for authentic indian food.

Great service always. The staff are very friendly. I’ve been going here with my family for years and no other restaurant does good Indian restaurant food like this one.

Great food, kid love butter chichken, lunch special, great location, very nice enviroment with kindly customer service. Will come next time.

My indian friend recommended Indian Lounge and I ordered a take away online.<br/>I picked up and opened it at home and found out got the wrong meal, I ordered Chicken Dhansak but it was Beef and Galic Nann was burnt its disappointing, The staffs were friendly.

The lunch specials are awesome! Super affordable, and the flavour and amount are all very impressive 👍The butter chicken is splendid! Really recommend it!

Friendly staff. But I don't understand why they didn't leave the jug of water at the table. Constantly had to ask for refills. When I asked one of the staff where the restroom was he seemed like he didn't understand english because he had to ask someone else to come over.<br/>The food was nice. But the highlight for me was the Kulfi I had for dessert. I have tried some in India but the one I had here, the flavours were just right. It went so well with the mint on top and this is coming from a mint hater.<br/>Overall there are some improvements that could be made but they didn't overshadow the good food.

I have been there once with my friend. Their customer service and food quality is mind boggling..👌🏻👌🏻 Ordered Veggie bullet and papdi chat for Starter- 9/10. Malai kofta and paneer for main was delicious. <br/>Recommendations- 9/10..👍🏻

Ordered takeaways from here on Good Friday and there was no surcharge which was great. I had the onion Bhaji which was a huge portion and the samosas were super flavourful. I had the garlic naan also which was nice but wish it had a bit more flavour. The curries we got medium spice and they were a good amount of spice. Overall a great experience!

Been here quite a few times and never disappoints. Service is good, always nice and friendly and food is also good . A must try if you haven’t been before

Visited the place last week for a bday party. Good customer service, nice location and food was good too. Little bit pricey but worth it. Drinks are reasonably priced as well.

This was the best Indian I’ve had! Staff were amazing and so friendly, food came out relatively quickly, naan and curries were delicious, so light and flavoursome and left feeling full but not sick. We will definitely be back!! Thanks so much. Lovely ambience

Great food! Have always seen it driving past but went on weekend with some friends. Was very impressed with the service, and the quality of the dishes. Well presented and tasted great. We ordered chicken tikka, palak paneer and Kadai paneer. Can’t wait to go back again.

First of all, I was only ordered the lunch special. The food was not bad and really cheap (Rice, dish, naan, soda drink for 12 dollars). Would go again for the dinner menu.

i have been to this place a couple of time and was never disappointed.n8ce ambiance and good food. what else u need. service is a bit slow but totally worth it.

Main dishes were good but disappointed with there starters,tasteless seekh kebab and tandoori chicken. Really dry and no flavour. Service and atmosphere were good.

Sadly the management has no clue on how to offer quality service. Totally disappointed with the overall experience. Food was good. But not a place we would recommend or visit again. Purely based on the attitude of the owner/manager.

First of all we ordered chicken Tikka as an ontree the quantity was so less there was written full on menu and it looks like half secondly the staff were not eager to ask about the food what we need or not they just took order gave food after that we ask for fork and knife they didn't even gave that poor service. Food was OK not that much good I won't recommend anyone this was my first and last time even drinks were served less as per the price mentioned.

I’m sure this place probably has lovely food but the service was so bad that after an hour our food order still hadn’t been taken so we left. Drinks took very long (30mins from ordering) to come out. Overall very disappointed with the service. Maybe visit this restaurant if you have a lot of time to spare.

This place serves GREAT Indian food. They even had unexpected treats, like their special salad, fresh vegetables with buttery coconut. Also, very importantly, it's QUIET!! And for the quality of the good it's a great price.

The owners are lovely, they always greet us with warm smiles and the atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming. They balance the heat of the dishes well, some other Indian restaurants i have dined at have quite high spice levels, but Indian lounge accommodates to everyone's tolerance level. They have a great range on vegetarian dishes which i was very pleased about.

I am in love with Indian food and I been most of all the Indian Restaurant in Auckland but this one has given me the worst experience ever...The food is worst as well as the owner & staff is very rude & the bread is taste like a week ago I think I need to address MPI about this restaurnt..worst food ever not good for health at all...

Love the food so much and I would say they are of equal match with Paradise when it comes to food quality. This restaurant has a very nice atmosphere for dining, worth taking your family to this place on special occasion. Taking away one star because the staff who served us wasn’t very friendly.

Lamb roganjosh ! <br/>Never had lamb as tender as that! So flavourful as well. Perfectly cooked. Biriyani is pretty good too. Quantity of Biriyani is enough for 2. Butter naan was pretty good . Nothing to complain about. Good customer service .

Worst place ever! <br/><br/>The food was average, the staff (especially the manager) here appear to be a bunch of goons who literally don't know how to behave with thier customers and treat thier guest. The waiting staff is rude, the suggestions are poor and would not recommend anyone to go here. <br/><br/>There are alot of Indian resteraunts in Auckland that have better food which don't charge you "cakerage" for brining in your own cake for a birthday celebration and actually serve better food in a happier manner.<br/><br/>Please avoid going here and enjoy a better meal else where.

Big thanks for you and your team. Taste of food is delicious and the hospitality service makes our dinner even more delicious please guys keep this service will see you soon because we knows that where best indian food is served 🍔🥖🍟🍖🌮🍗

Went here with two friends for dinner and were all very happy with the meals. Service was fast and very friendly. The chicken tikka entree was our highlight and we loved the naan super fresh and warm. Will definitely be returning here!

I love this indian restaurant! Friendly staff, nice location, cozy and warm place. Try the samosa chaat as a starter and beef korma as main. My only concern is when occasionally they change the head chef. Dont do that, guys!!!

Excellent service and food ! Staff are very friendly and attentive. Must try Chicken malai tikka, it’s delicious. Thumbs up! Highly recommended for dine in and take away’s.

The ambiance is nice enough, and they're one of the few restaurants that actually offers an indo Chinese menu.<br/><br/>The waiting staff were courteous and wiling to go the extra mile. So we ordered the palak paneer as a lunch special, we ordered Manchurian chicken, chicken fried rice, and the goat curry as mains. And we asked that they all be medium hot.<br/><br/>The palak was the only edible item as the rest of the food was quite hot. However the restaurant redeemed themselves when they offered to give us a fresh batch of the goat and Manchurian curries that was medium spice.<br/><br/>The restaurant was quiet enough and the decor was modern-upscale.<br/><br/>Would happily dine here again in the future.

Amazing service ... Amazing food .. better than paradise .. I loved the table setup and the decor of the entire place .. I would suggest it to people who really like authentic Indian food

First time to Indian lounge, had the Paneer Tikka Masala, it was delicious. The naan was soft and puffy and really good with the masala. I also tried the Palak Paneer which was good too. The rice was on the dry side though but still edible. We also ordered wedges and they were really delicious. Only thing I didn’t like was that we went for lunch and were made to sit outside in a small metal chair and tables instead of inside on the lounges. We got told they are 'booked' but no one actually sat on them and we were for 2hrs through lunch which was pretty dissapointing. The toilets are clean and good compared to other restaurants.

Visited here for the first time last week. Loved the ambiance and the feel of the restaurant. Friendly staff and great service!Paneer tikka and Onion Bhaji were delicious. Paneer tikka masala was outstanding.. one of the best I have had in years! <br/>Definitely going back to try other things from the menu..!

Looking more like a English tea house than an Indian restaurant, Indian Lounge stands out amongst its competitors by exuberating a rather posh feel. Amongst my social circle I’m well known as somebody that doesn’t buy into high class Indian cuisine (unless it’s Cassia of course) having had some very disappointing experiences. To my surprise Indian Lounge actually delivered great Indian classics at excellent prices. <br/><br/>We had a Spicy Lamb Sagwa which had quite a kick whilst still retaining the lamb and herb flavors, the naan was freshly made and the Butter Chicken was definitely better than your typical food court alternative. <br/><br/>Our group enjoyed our meals and the dinner specials are a fantastic way to entice customers. An ideal spot if you’re feeling a little easy and after some Indian comfort food.<br/><br/>Showstopper: Weekday specials on curries.<br/><br/>Overall Grade: B

My go to place to order takeaways. Highly rate the butter chicken, tika masala and the korma. Wide range of delicious naan bread to choose from too. They always have my order hot, fresh and ready to go when I arrive! Will be returning to collect many more hungover feeds!!

After encountering a few issued with the bill, we requested to talk to the manager, who turned up to our table about 15 minutes later to only raise his voice and talk to us in a completely disrespectful manner. Upon requesting him on talking properly with us he started yelling even louder to perhaps please his ego, or save himself from paying for his mistakes. However the situation got so heated that he walked out from behind the counter rolling g his sleeves up as an act of aggression which was completely unacceptable. In such situation where managers are supposed to diffuse conflicts he only added troubles to his on business, to the point where the owner (who was the only gentleman in the entire resteraunt) had to come out and apologize for the managers mistake and arrogance. Wouldn't recommend this place to other till this manager is present.

Went there to celebrate birthday and apparently we have to inform the Restaurent that it's a birthday party because they charge us for using their crockery for cake cutting. How stupid is that along with very poor customer service. Wouldn't recommend this place to anybody where they charge you crockery.Very very very poor customer service.

They played the same Maroon 5 song consecutively 3 times 😐. The food was Spicy and enjoyable, I had the lamb saagwala 👌 loved that they serve 750ml Kingfisher strong.<br/><br/>I'll go back for takeaway.

Loved our dinner went for dads birthday and everything was amazing, the food was delicious especially the lounge special chicken curry. The staff and service was really nice too, they even played the birthday song when we were cutting the cake :p definitely going back

Super friendly and fast service, hot and tasty butter chicken, one of the best Indian places around. Only improvement is the rice could've been fresher, tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. But very good overall, and great value for money.

Easily one of the better Indian restaurants in town, with reasonable prices. After the change of ownership, the high-ceilinged spacious elegant decor remains the same , and the ambience particularly in the centrally situated indoor dining hall is more welcoming than many other large but tacky or good but cramped places in the city. The food is dependably good from what I've noted over three visits since the last one year. The menu is not innovative but delivers the old guard with renewed quality. Indo-Chinese is often hit and miss elsewhere, but the dry chilli chicken appetizer in IL is superbly rounded in flavour. Tangy chunks of Chicken 65 becomes more attractive here with soft and slick morsels. Alcohol is very reasonably priced - for $40 we enjoyed a bottle of excellent Pinot Gris.<br/><br/>   Service is inconsistent, but when you do catch their eye they are helpful! Garlic Prawn Pakoda does not reach its full potential but still I was eager to reach for more of these cornflour-fried goodies while stodgy tired fish tikka was the only real disappointment of the meal. In mains, an Indian Lounge special of chicken gravy was a creamy complex blast of tender meat coming close to that special quality of 'butter chicken' which is almost impossible to find in Auckland. With better service , this restaurant will become an even more solid bet. 3/5 = Good.

Service was fine . Food not so good . Ordered chicken saagwala, had stingy smell of fish . Informed the waiter , came back to me telling chef says its alrite. But you can order another dish . Meanwhile the dish came had finished food with daal makhani . Would not recommend to anyone.

Great venue. Loved the decor and furniture. Awesome covered outdoor seating, which makes it nice to sit outside even if it rains or is windy.<br/><br/>Curries were delicious. They were thick and don't skimp out on the ingredients. The Beef Korma had large and abundant pieces of beef, and you could see and taste the cashews in the curry.<br/><br/>Butter chicken was just as epic. Generous curries with just the perfect amount of rice and naan bread.<br/><br/>Service was polite and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. Will definitely be coming back to try all the other curries!

WE HAVE BEEN HERE ON SAT DINNER AND ONCE AGAIN WE GONE ON SUNDAY DINNER ALSO... WE LOVE THE FOOD AND SERVICE ....  :) . I WISH THEY CAN EXTENDED THERE DELIVERY SERVICE TO HILLSBOROUGH.<br/><br/>THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SERVICE.... :)

Been coming here for the past month or so. Food quality is amazing. Just today ordered a palak paneer for lunch. And have to say it is the best palak paneer I have ever had. Thanks again. Other paneer dishes also great as well as the Indian lounge special chicken.

This place is busy on a Monday O.o I was surprised. <br/>The staff are super friendly and the customer service is excellent. I had beef vindaloo and Aloo Porotha. The portions were really big. I am def going back to try more dishes. The beef vindaloo was ordered medium it wasn't too spicy at all compared to the other restaurants that serve the same. Would be keen on trying the butter chicken and the biyarani . <br/>Hungry for more

Fantastic Indian restaurant. Food is great , service great and nice feel to the restaurant. The new owners have really turned this place around, and I have always had a good experience the handful of times I have been. The staff are really helpful and seem to try and do whatever they can for you. The Prawn dishes are my favourite!

An amazing ambience to have amazing Indian food...going there for a long time now...never been disappointed....the food is not very oily and the quality is good and fresh. Highly recommend. 😃😃😃😃😃

Tonight was the first time we came here for dinner. We were greeted and seated promptly. The place has a nice decor.<br/><br/>Tonight we ordered onion bhaji to share, lamb rogan josh, kadahi chicken and bhuna beef. We also ordered some butter naan, garlic- cheese naan and mango lasi.<br/><br/>We literally demolished everything!! I like the lamb rogan josh the best... but they were all pretty darn good! Both naan were delicious! They were fluffy and soft with just the right crispy-ness. The mango lasi was also nice, although i find the cardamom flavour a little strong.... but it was still yummy.<br/><br/>Service was friendly and very attentive. They fill our water regularly and they were very helpful. <br/><br/>Overall we enjoyed ourselves there... and we can't wait to go back and try other things from the menu

I like this restaurant. It has nice ambiance, good food, and good service. It has become our go-to Indian restaurant in the Mt Eden area. I am vegetarian and there is plenty of choice and the food is excellent.

Absolutely delighted with the both the quality of food and the service.  The serving sizes could do with a bit of improvement but the full compliments to the chef. The general decor was pleasing, warm (despite the winter nights) and inviting. Value for money - standard I'd say but could improve with increasing the serving size a bit. Nice clean bathrooms with beautiful ceilings. Will I go there again? Yes ; Will I take guests there? - absolutely yes. Well done guys.

First visit for a dinner, it was amazing. Great dining experience with delicious food. Had lamb saagwala, kadhai chicken and murg malai kebab was outstanding. The service was quick and Manveer and her team made our dining experience great. Highly recommended place. Will surely visit again to try other offerings. Thanks

I celebrated my bday @indian lounge ...the ever best experience of dine in with lots of fun .<br/>Staff was very friendly , so do the owner . <br/>Just felt like at our own place .<br/>Thanks to indian lounge team .. <br/>

The service was absolutely amazing, the staff were very attentive and we received our food in a timely manner. The food I could not fault there was a lot of flavour.

We dined in and took away the food and i belong to delhi (India). The food is amazing and thanks for being consistent ruble and his team good job guys.. Keep it like that.. Cheers..

We had a family birthday there on a Wednesday night.  Service excellent and food was exceptional.  The restaurant is in a pretty villa in Mt. Eden, we sat on the veranda and since we had 7 people our seating was comfortable and we could talk without a distracting noise level.  Everyone was happy with the meal and service.  They had a special for $12.95 for mains and you could BYO. It was the best Indian food I've had in years and a wonderful evening.

Absolutely exceptional experience we've had. <br/><br/>The service was so good and so friendly, I can't even remember when I came across something even close to the service we received in Indian Lounge. Drinks and food arrived in a very short period of time despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely full. Loved everything about our dinner! It will be a great pleasure to come back ! <br/><br/>Thank you for a complimentary pampadums :)

Worst Indian takeout I have ever had, sorry.  I like to support local business, but only up to a point.  None of it lived up to my expectations.  Maybe it was the long delivery time - after all, we are half a km away.

First time visiting Indian Lounge since the new owners took over. Great food wonderful atmosphere. Service was a little slow but not bad, staff were polite and very helpful giving us plenty of space to enjoy our dinner.

Came here for dinner with my partner, love this little restaurant. Very nice setting, friendly staff and great food!<br/><br/>Food: 10/10<br/>We came here twice, first time we ordered saagwala and lamb korma. The korma is by far the best korma we have ever tried in Auckland. <br/><br/>Second time we came here, we ordered Tika chicken masala and korma again because it was that good! <br/><br/>Service: 10/10<br/>Staff were friendly and attentive. They greet you at the front door and take you to the seat. They always fill up your glass without you having to ask them to. They check up on you half way through the meal to ensure everything is alright.<br/><br/>The bonus part is they also have $10 mains mon to Tuesday so people should definitely give this place a go!<br/>

Came here quite hungover and craving a curry boy was I not disappointed. The lunch special blew me away too. I had a vegetable korma and was so glad at how creamy and filling it was. My best food experience in Auckland!!!

hi I been to indian lounge on 11/1/2016. we ordered 3 starter... onion bhaji, chilli paneer and chiken tikka. price of chilly paneer was charged 18.50$. It was too much on monday night. After that we ordered 4 kingfisher tape beer. MAXIMUM PRICE OF TAPE BEER SHOULD BE OF 7$ because I been to raviz indian resturant they charged me only $6 while in indian lounge they charged me $9 HORRIBLE..... we ordered 2 curries $10 mains special ... one is kadai paneer and paneer tikka masala from that kadai paneer got lots of corriander seeds. Its better to go in other indian restaurant though they don't have any specials.. waiting for yr response thanks

Called Indian Lounge now. Came here a couple of nights ago and enjoyed the food. It was of good quality but the butter chicken was a lot sweeter than I've ever had it anywhere else there was almost no spice to it, whenever I order mild somewhere else there's usually always some spice in it. Found the price a little steep though. Also not very much parking there. It was raining and we had to park down the road and get wet as we ran up to the restaurant
