This was honestly some of the best Indian food that I have ever had, and I’ve eaten Indian food all over the world. Definitely the best I’ve had in New Zealand since moving here in 2016. Their fish tandoori was incredible. The fish was so tender and cooked perfectly. The texture was just right and the green sauce it came with made it that much better. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a bit spicy as well.

I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Indian medium spicy and it was just the right amount of spicy for me. The chicken was soft and tender and the curry sauce itself was very flavorful. It came with a good portion of rice and I had the garlic cheese naan on the side. I drove an hour out of my way on my road trip because I was craving Indian food, and this place definitely did not disappoint. I will stop by again for sure when I am back in the area.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. They have awesome music videos playing which adds to the overall atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated very tastefully and the bathrooms were nice and clean. Overall I recommend Sangam Indian Cuisine for anyone craving delicious Indian food like I was!

Mellissa our waitress was excellent helpful and friendly. She noticed we were little warm half way through meal and opened wide windows for us. This was first time we had eaten here and we were very impressed. Music was a little loud at times otherwise an excellent meal

If I had read the reviews before going to Sangam I wouldn't have gone. However, I didn't check out the restaurant as I usually do.
I had the nicest curry I have ever had, in fact our whole family loved their meals. Roti, nan, curries, raita all yum.
It seems this restaurant is not consistent with its service and food. I guess we were lucky to get them on a really good night.
We frequent Whitianga for holidays so will definitely go again and hope for the same great service and food.

Fantastic! Great flavours, great service. The local palate is slightly milder than other places, given the option of mild, medium or hot I order a hot when I would normally order medium. Once this is understood I believe it to be superior to most.

I'm amazed at some of these reviews. We are from the UK and in the eight years we have been here have never found an Indian restaurant that we really enjoyed - that is until in October we spent the weekend in Whitianga. Ever hopeful we tried Sangam and we thought the food was great. The chicken madras was delicious and for once was not the creamy orangy coconut version they seem to offer in most places in NZ. We returned to Whitianga this weekend and again had a great meal. Our service was great - if our friendly waitress couldn't answer a question then she went and asked the Manager for advice. We look forward to next time.

This is a great Indian restaurant in Whitianga. I went with a large group of people this was not an issue with the staff and the service was fantastic. Within the group we had a wide range of different meals and entrees all of them were well-presented came out together and were very well received. These meals were excellent value and good quality. This the restaurant I could recommend to return to.

I had come here with my partner, and all I can say is great things. Service and food were both of a very high standard. From the curries to fried rice to Naan and Lassi. Everything was exquisite, we'd both like to highly recommend and thank this restaurant

A very beautiful restaurant. We came across this place while walking down the street. Thought to try it out. We did not regret it. The food and atmosphere was amazing. I ordered a chicken fried rice and my partner got mushroom masala and butter naan. All were delicious. The naan was soft and full of flavour and the mushroom masala was absolutely amazing. The fried rice was full of flavour and nicely spiced just how I wanted it . Highly recommend this place

I highly recommend this restaurant. I had Lamb Sagwalla and was hesitating between mild and medium hot. The chef managed to bring out flavors beautifully without the meal being too hot. Lamb was tender and succulent. Only downside at all - the Syrah had been too long opened - the food made up for that. My daughter fully enjoyed the vegetarian dish she chose

We found this only indian restaurant when we went out for a day out in Whitianga. Must say, the food was great, the service was awesome. Overall, it was a good experience to be in that restaurant. On duty manager Mr. Stephan was doing great job in handling the customers.

Very nice food. We had lamb rogan josh chicken Tikka marsala, chicken korma and vegetables. The serves were generous, and the taste very nice. Great place to take the kids, and good for a feed before hitting the pub for some drinks. I reccomend.

We ordered dinner for 60 adults from Atul and the Team at Sangam Indian Cuisine. It was absolutely delicious, great portions, full of flavour and spice, packaged beautifully and was still warm when we received it. Because we were staying in Flaxmilly Bay across the harbour, Atul arranged to meet us at the Ferry with our order so it was still hot, when we served our guests. They went the extra mile and the food was EXCELLENT. We recommend Sangam and we would definitely order from them again. Well done Sangam!

Just had a marvelous dinner (28/04/2023), we both tried a different menu than what we normally order. We've never been to Sangam, but next time we're in Whitianga, we'll be back, complements to the chef 👨‍🍳
