I've been driving through the shop several times but finally gave it a shot today. Love the lunch deal, very reasonable price and good portion as well as friendly service from the staff.I tried mild butter chicken, bloody delicious. However, I am not a fan of the naan bread here. Definitely will go back again.
New to their takeaway. My first order from them was Butter Chicken (medium) (just to be on the safe side) and boy, it was good! I decided to come back on another day to try something new and ordered Chicken Tikka (hot) and it was beyond my expectation. Spicy which was what I wanted and so full of flavour. And on both occassions, rice was so fragrant and freshly cooked which I really appreciate. Garlic naan is quite nice but would like it to be less buttery/oily. Overall, yes my indian-go-to! Nice and mannered staffs too! However, parking is a problem. What I do, is go grocery shopping at Countdown then walk across to the takeaway.
EXCELLENT FOOD. Only downside is having to wait if you order in store instead of calling for pick up, but it goes to show it isn't just sitting prepared waiting to be served. Best Indian takeaway in Palmerston North. Friendly service and well priced.
Best Indian takeaway in Palmerston North, as far as I'm concerned. Very reasonable prices and I've never had a bad meal here in years of visiting.
Most authentic indian food in Palmerston North. We get takeaways from this place every week/fortnight nd this place has never disappointed us. Friendly service, tasty food and well priced
Very nice, spices are evenly balanced, service and waiting time was slow but rewarding, well worth the wait. That is all. I apologise for the random mess as I need 150 characters to post this...
Hands down, the best Indian in Palmy. Have been many times and the food here is consistently awesome. Lamb Korma is the star of the menu in my opinion, also Beef Kadai is one of my favs. Awesome Naans and Poppadoms. Very quick service. Highly recommended.
This is probably one of our favourite places to get Indian takeaways, and we've been doing it for around 3 years now. We never have to wait too long, and the food is absolutely fabulous.
My husband is very adventurous and likes to test everything on the menu, whereas I like to stick with the same dishes every time. Neither of us have ever been disappointed.
The only thing I would say is, at those prices, it would be great to have something to cater to children. As we are a big family of 5, every time we have takeaways from here, it costs us around $80...which is a bit painful when I still have to do the dishes afterwards...
We go here whenever we get cravings for indian, my partner loves the lamb and beef curries and I as a vegan have the aloo palak which is just divine! The naans and onion bhaji are always perfect too.
Highly recommended!
If I want indian this is the place I go. Not once have I ever had anything bad from this place and I have been going there since I moved to Palmerston North, 5 years ago. My Favorite is the Lamb Korma with their delicious Naan bread.
Beautiful food at great prices. Perfectly cooked and prepared with very professional staff. Highly recommended.
Love their food, also great value with big portions that will do two meals, love the Cheesy Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken (mild). Usually ordered via Uber..
As a seasoned connoisseur of Indian cuisine, I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Star of India, the gem that reigns supreme in our town's culinary landscape. This legendary establishment has managed to capture the true essence of Indian flavors, elevating its curry creations to an unparalleled level. After multiple visits, I can confidently proclaim that Star of India unquestionably serves the best curry in town.
Super yummy butter chicken and cheese naan bread, best butter chicken in palmy, very lovely service too
Food was exceptional, service was good. It's my number 1 choice for Indian food.
Friendly staff and lovely food, which was ready at the time advised. We had 2 x mild butter chicken and 2 x garlic naan. The chicken comes with rice included. Price was very fair for the very generous amount of chicken in each serving - for me one serve is easily enough for 2 nights. If you like your food in the slightest spicy then go for medium heat instead of mild because there wasn't a hint of heat in it (not a bad thing - I am a wuss). 3 convenient parking spaces right outside.
Got an assortment of meals. There is half meals and full meals, differing strengths of hotness. A vast array of meals on the menu and cooked in front of you. All up, this was the best Indian meal we have had whilst in NZ.
Curries always good with decent amount of meat. But twice even when I ordered Indian hot spicy level, it was just too mild. First time it happened I rang up to provide my feedback but couldn't be bothered second time. Maybe when I next order I will tell them to make sure it will be Indian hot!
Best butter chicken in ages. Lot of chicken, delicious.
The great selection of food and deliciously prepared. Best Indian food I have ever had since I moved from Auckland! Their each curry has an unique taste and the naan bread is just awesome! Besides, customer service is always welcoming & wonderful. Highly recommended!!! I ended up buying my lunch almost everyday from here. Thumbs up to both the chefs and thanks...they are doing great job.
