Fantastic service and the foot was delicious. Call us cliche but me and my partner ordered Chicken Tikka and butter chicken, highly recommend.
Incredible service, and really awesome food. The service was fast and food quality was amazing, which is great when dining with a large group of people. Meals were reasonably priced and the ambience of the place was nice also.
Ate here twice now takeaway. I'm generally quite fussy.
I ordered the butter chicken and I have to say it's one of the best I have had really nice flavour and rich a lot of the other places I've gone too make the sauce too runny.
Also tried the Punjabi Chicken and it was better than the butter chicken great flavour, lovely and rich. Its definitely a favourite for me.

We were in Mt. Maunganui looking for somewhere to have dinner. We quickly stumbled across Smart India. What a find! Service was quick and efficient and the staff were friendly. The food was excellent quality, the meat was fresh and well cooked, the sauces were seasoned well and the quantities were appropriate. It's a shame that this restaurant doesn't have a greater street profile. Therefore it tends to get missed by a lot of people passing by.
This place is situated at Tauranga this places really makes u feel you are in India with background Indian music food here is awesome one of my favorite restaurant in 10$ u can have meal here the chef does a great job here paneer masala is my favorite with butter naan they are really great service is really quick too always helpful staff overall the best one
Delicious food! Best Indian in the Mount. Furthermore I have been to some rowdy BYO dinner parties here and the customer service is awesome. They do everything possible to ensure a good night for all.
One of my friend recommend me this place four years ago and i don't think there is better place for indian cuisine than this, i visit once a week because i cannot resist the food appeal from this place my whole family love this place ,,,,,,,, my kids love butter chicken and lamb saagwala and there is no match for it anywhere, staff is really nice some of them i know from years and they are very friendly and other food dishes and bread they offer are also very nice and it also for money one spend there. if anyone wants to try good indian food they must visit to this place.
Been ordering take aways from here for 2 years and they've always been courteous, friendly and made a damn nice feed. Only thing I'd question, as I would with just about any other Chinese/Thai/Indian restaurant, is the amount of meat they put in. But value for money 8 out of 10.
Best god dam Indian I've ever eaten. I have been on a long adventure, looking for the best Indian food across the land and I finally have found this glorious palace that is called SMART INDIA. Highly recommend to all, life is complete!
Whenever we feel like Indian food, we don't eat anywhere else but here. The menu range is great, the food is always freshly made and the quality is excellent. When it is not too busy, the owner always comes out to see if everything is ok and when you become a regular face, he always recognises you with a smile and/or wave when you arrive and leave. Great, friendly, warm service and delicious food. What more can we ask for!

My daughter opted for butter chicken for dinner tonight. We've never tried Smart India Mount Maunganui, so we thought we'd give them a go a change from Own Masala. The service I received was polite, professional, and friendly. It was late afternoon, so not many people dinning in when I ordered to go. Very quick and efficient, 10 minutes wait and we were good to go! Tasted great! Will be back again! 😋
Every bit as good as I was expecting it to be and then some. Beautiful aromas as you enter and one of the warmest welcomes I've had anywhere. There's dual menus both vegan and non and they are both extensive. The food is delicious and the service is great. While I was there met a chap who had come from Tweed just to get some takeaway from here, that says it all really. Truly wonderful, highly recommended 👍
my new favourite Indian . Flavour Flavour Flavour!
Tonight, our regular dining place was temporarily closed, leading us to opt for takeaways. We were delighted to discover smart india. The helpful staff, who assisted us in making a remarkable culinary choice. Their recommendation of the "Mushroom Mutter Korma," specially tailored to meet my dietary requirements as a vegan, exceeded all expectations. I must admit, it stands as one of the finest vegan curries I have ever had the pleasure of savouring.we look forward to returning and trying more options
We were here some years ago and we still thinking back on that unbelievable delicious Butter Chicken everytime we order somewhere else Butter chicken. Me and my wife are often at different Indian Restaurants and we mostly ordering Butter Chicken but we´ve never had an Butter Chicken like here. It was amazing. If we are travalling ever again to new zealand we are defenetly visiting here again more than once :D. (the Guys who workin there were also very kindfull and nice)
Thank u for that Amazing meal
We went for dinner after spending good time on beach.
Obviously, we were tired and craving for good food. At entry, we were a bit surprised as there were not many people in the restaurant.
However, the food served was great! Here are the details about the items we ordered:
Paneer Tikka: one the best paneer tikka we had in New Zealand, it was juicy, smokey and well marinated. The balanced taste or mustard and other spices was awesome.
Paneer Kadhai: It was awesome again, it had a smokey flavour and taste of whole spices was great!
Daal tadka: I think it was mixed daal and the tadka was icing on the cake! The rich taste of Jira and garlic was there in every bite.
Tandoori Roti: again perfect roti was served. It was hot, soft and most improtatnly did not taste like maida.
The service and atmosphere was great too! It was a wonderful experience. Its a perfect place for anyone looking for authentic Indian food!
I would visit again whenever in Tauranga or Mount Manganui.
Cheers!
Omg! This place is superb! I mean cravings satisfied! I love their food! The chicken lollipop is seasoned perfectly, the tandoori chicken and so tender! And the chicken punjabi is the best! They have a great servers too! Shout out to satwiri! She's all smiles and very attentive! We'll get back here for sure on our next trip in Tauranga!!
Oh. I almost forgot their cheese garlic nan is soooo freaking good!
Edit: Their mango lassi omg! Must try! I had 2 and half glass ( *my husband only taste and i finished all)
We went here last night, wow what a pleasant surprise! The curries we ordered were both exquisite, we both shared what we had and they were delicious. The naan bread was lovely too, not too thick and doughy. The waiting staff were good too, with the chef coming to check we were enjoying our meals, also very friendly. It does not disappoint, good value to for money too!
Best Indian restaurant in Tauranga by far! The staff are super friendly and food is always really quick for both dine in and takeaway. I absolutely love the Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken & Masala & my husband's go to's are Lamb Sagwala, Goat Vindaloo & Cheesy Garlic Naan. We come here every week or other week and are never disappointed. I would not bother going anywhere else in the Mount or Tauranga and would reccomend to anyone.
Honestly one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to. The service was exceptional and incredibly friendly. Went with the mushroom masala which I thought was a bit of a rogue choice but ended up being phenomenal. Fantastic place and worth the visit. Big up.
me and my friends always come hear to have wonderful Indian food we love eating hear and also fee WiFi friendly staff..
