This is the best Indian restaurant that I have ever eaten in by nine. Excellent service combined with an excellent menu. 6 � from me
Wonderful service and great food. Definitely would love to dine again. Surely recommend this place Indian food awesomeness
Possibly the best Indian restaurant in NZ. Fantastic food and service
Easily the best Indian food I’ve had in New Zealand. The flavours are bold and delicious and manage to remain authentic while having a twist on your standard fare. Excellent service also made the wait for a table well worth it.
Amazing food. Feels awesome to have tasty Indian food away from home. Thanks for keeping it completely Desi.
Just expand the place a bit, so that more ppl can enjoy the food😋
Reservation is must for this place - else order a takeaway.
Amazing Indian. The food standard is high and the service is good. Not your standard menu which is always nice. They saved a table for us while we had a drink across the road and waited for everyone to arrive. Only downfall was the cleanliness of the bathroom. Horrendous!
Great food, welcoming staff, fast service and prompt response.
They are really good option for Ethnic Indian food, great lake view and in heart of Queenstown.
The best Indian restaurant in Queenstown. Good service. Friendly staff. Good ambience. A must visit for anyone who loves Indian cuisine. !!!
The best Indian food in queenstown without a doubt. We were having a miserable day after eating a Ferg in the morning, tummies upset, weird pukish feeling & couldn’t think of food all day long until dinner time when it all vanished after our first bite of some really tasty food here.
Ordered for the poppadums, Tandoori Mushrooms & Prawns, the soft shell crab which was an absolute delight, the duo of lamb kebabs which was really tasty & melted in your mouth and just stuck to starters as not only were they filling, but gave an idea of how good the other dishes would be. Would definitely come back again for more. The service too was nice as it was really nice to see a European waitress being able to take our order and manage really well with the native names of the dishes.
Best Indian restaurant in Queenstown. Food is absolutely awesome. Dal taj n sahi tukra is one of the best I had ever tasted. Been there so many times n everytime it is constantly awesome
excellent indian food, quality & taste perfectly indian!
great ambience right in the heart of the town, lovely variety of dishes, its a must try!
After craving some Indian food, we discovered this place. Boutique and beautifully done with view of Wakatipu lake. The first thing which made us happy was Dosa and chaat menu. Though they have extensive menu of North Indian dishes alike. So we went with Masala Uttapam, Paneer Kathi Roll along with Papdi Chaat. The aroma of food was just perfect. Masala Uttapam was perfectly made. The batter which was used was just like what we have in India. Sambar and Chutney had perfect flavour. Paneer Kathi Roll was huge with stuffing of cubed cottage cheese. On next visit we even tried Pudina Laccha Paratha and Aloo Jeera, it was very satisfying and made fresh. The staff is very caring and courteous. This is recommended for people who miss Indian food.
Me and my husband from Australia and came New Zealand for Holidays.
First food we tried in New Zealand in this restaurant and I would say it was so delicious we orded Palak Paneer and Chicken curry they served that with rice and Cucumber salad as well.
Tandoori Naan was freshly made in Tandoor
Friendly Staff😊
We decide that we will go there again ☺️
It was great experience in NZ Indian Restaurant
Its located on The lake view
Scenic view from the window
Amazing food and cozy atmosphere, would come here again. Had lamb for entree, nice little spicy kick to it, ordered some garlic nann and partner had chicken and I had the lamb rump for main ~ delicious. Mains were recommended as we asked and it was great :)
Best Indian food in town! The food was done just perfectly right, enough spiced and not too strong, and was scrumptious. The atmosphere was nice too. You get the view of the lake and mountains out the window. The service was also exceptional. The staff was very friendly with great service. Love the extra clean utensils and plates warm from a dishwasher. The pots and bowls and glasses they use to serve food and drinks are high quality, too! All in all, we highly recommend the Taj Indian restaurant!
I had a butter chicken with saffron rice and naan. It came with elegant presentation and looked very appetising. Staff was friendly and welcoming.. it was a reasonable price for a relatively large portion size...highly recommend.
Absolutely incredible food and amazing presentation! We did not have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us at a table outside. This was probably the best Indian food we have had to date despite our many Indian restaurants back home in Boston. So happy we had a chance to enjoy this delicious food and the experience was amazing! Not rushed during out time there and Raj checked in to ask how everything was. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Absolutely Delicious Food and Best Customer Service - we were delightfully looked after by Rahul who was amazing not only at service but also in conversation.
Omwe ordered Paneer Tikka and Malai Brocolli for Entrees, Sabji Diwani Handi, Paneer Teen Mirch ka and Dal Tadka for main. All dishes were absolutely amazing in tatse and presentation
The food was really fresh and every dish was full of flavour. I tried a chilli, cheese, garlic naan and that was exceptional! All of the dishes we tried were really good! I’d eat here again.
We had a great dinner for my better half's birthday and reserved a table because we were told it can be full. There are tables on the first floor with fantastic views to the lake.
Service and meals were first class, even though they seem to be a bit adopted to New Zealand.
We highly recommend to go there if you are in the area. Nice people great service yummy wine selection and super nice food.
The dining experience at the Indian restaurant was truly delightful. The cheese-stuffed mushrooms were a delightful appetizer, showcasing a perfect blend of textures and flavors. The lamb on the bone in curry was exceptional, with the tender meat effortlessly absorbing the rich, aromatic spices. The culinary expertise was evident, making it a memorable and authentic gastronomic journey.
On a side note, it would enhance the overall ambiance if there were considerations for a door that doesn't slam, as the occasional noise slightly impacted the otherwise serene and enjoyable dining atmosphere.
Our second visit and it keeps getting better,
they have some slightly different Indian dishes and they are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
An absolute must visit restaurant, great service, great ambience and great food, generous servings as well.
