We will go to this place again as the food was nice and the service was fantastic. The popadums were a good size. I will be back. so happy to recommend Planet Spice
Have been twice in the past two months. Really enjoyed the entrees(Chicken Tikka, Onion Bhaji)and the Curries have been delicious as well, I think we ordered the same ones on both occasions, Palak Paneer and a Lamb one that’s slipped my mind. Just to be predictable I think we chose the same Cheese and garlic naan as well, no shortage of either filling/topping there.
Tasty meals, very filling and affordable. Friendly service as well so happy to recommend Planet Spice 👍🏻
Amazing food. I had a lamb dish and my partner had the butter chicken.
Best butter chicken we both have ever tasted.
My lamb dish was yummy too!
I would have loved some more of there food.
Two other points:
There wasn’t enough rice that came with the meal.
And I wish they were with Ubereats or menu log or another food delivery service.
Clean restaurant. Great service
Well priced, good use of space.
We will go to this place again as the food was fabulous. We reserved a table online but they did not get our reservation. However due to this misunderstanding the staff gave us some free poppadoms due to the mistake. The staff found us a table upstairs but the staff moved us downstairs due to the noise upstairs. The coffee was not very good but the staff did not charge us for that. Overall we enjoyed the meal.
I went again to this place and as per usual the food was outstanding. The coffee was great this time and the service was fantastic. I will be back.
The best sot down Indian restaurant in wellington! The vegetarian set menu is a huge amount of food and great quality. The specials change often and theyre reliably great. Cant believe this place doesnt have a higher rating
This place has been consistently good for years..... great place to go as a group. Goat dish is beautiful, chefs special chicken dish a knockout. A friend once got a hot butter chicken and even that was exceptional. Recommended.
Great service good atmosphere and although not the best Indian in Wellington definately great food. Indian food with the option to have wedges and sour cream if you wanted. BYO also.
Had the beef madras and keema naan, was busy but food came out quickly. We really liked the naan bread, which was light, fluffy and delicious. The service was also on point.
Always busy, great service - almost too quick/hurried, you can't beat the value here. Curry is great for the price, well above the usual "take away" standard. Great cuts of meat two - they take pride in it. best curry in Wellington? No, but it's close. Try the Korma.
Visited for dinner and had a table for six. This place was recommended and had great reviews so was pretty excited. The biryani was average, bit more a khichdi and was quite short grain rice so not what was expected around the table (we had two of these), butter chicken was a bit ordinary, lamb korma was sweet!? That should be a savoury dish but really wasn't. Prawn dish was good. Had a coke and even that was flat as... then we saw the guy throw the empty bottle away so can only asume it was the last of a bottle that had been opened a bunch of times. Overall a bit disappointed with the food. Service was pretty good though. In the future I would walk four doors down to curry heaven.

Do you want the best butter chicken in Wellington? I challenge you to find a better option than Planet Spice.
My palate for Indian food isn’t the broadest but in my 48 years I’ve had A LOT of butter chicken and since the departure of Dawaat from Manners Mall (when it used to actually be a Mall) I haven’t found an Indian restaurant / takeaway that tops Planet Spice.
Normally I go for a takeaway, and save half for delicious next day leftovers. However I recently had a chance to dine in, which gave me the opportunity to stray from my usual sides of garlic naan, roti or onion bhaji. I went for the lamb curry puffs as a starter, which could almost serve as a meal in itself. Curry puffs, much like spring rolls, are an excellent measure of whether a restaurant cares to put effort into their staples or whether they just stock up on bulk frozen items and deep fry the life out of them when needed. I certainly don’t expect these to be hand made to order, but these puffs tasted fresh and flavourful.
Given that I would be eating an entire main after a substantial starter I opted for a lighter side in the kachumber - basically diced tomato, cucumber and red onion, with a bit of spice. This turned out to be a perfect accompaniment to the sweetness of the main course. It may even steer me away from my favourite bread sides in future orders. Certainly a more guilt-free selection.
Another essential addition is a mango lassi - perfect to temper any heat and double as a dessert.
Thanks Planet Spice for another winning meal.
Every time I’m in Wellington I come back here. I love the tandoor specials- especially the tamarind chicken and the tandoor mushrooms as entree is my favourite.
It’s obviously a popular restaurant as there are always people eating here and the steady stream of Uber eat pickups is a great source of entertainment.
Huge selection of Indian dishes, nicely done. Local beers to complement. Not too crowded. Medium spicy was hot to me- all their preparations allow you to specify spice level.
Delicious food and welcoming staff, however, my daughter and I waited over 45 minutes for our meals to arrive and with a hungry 12 year old it wasn’t ideal.
Absolutely delicious. The best Indian I’ve ever eaten. The coconut chicken was divine and melted in my mouth. The stuffed mushrooms were perfect. Great friendly service. Highly recommend.
The service was fast and friendly, best Indian food I have ever had from a restaurant
Amazing place for Kiwi Indian style food, great friendly staff and fast service.
Little Planet in Newtown with touch of spices.
Would definitely recommend it.
Can't fault this place really.
The place is big enough and looks recently decorated. It even has an upstairs.
The place is clean and wherever you sit seems comfortable.
The staff are, in general, friendly and eager to help though I see they are often rushed and busy.
The food is top notch tasty. They even have weird things like a chocolate naan. It's not too expensive and the $10 lunch special is unbelievable value!
Has a good range of menu selections and the food is always good. We usually get takeaway, probably more than once a month, but reciently opted for dine in. Seating is between the entrance and the counter so on busy nights there is a constant stream of takeaway patrons passing your table.
We had a birthday party there and enjoyed it a lot. Nice food, lovely ambience, and welcoming hospitality. Affordable rates for party.
