Chawla's Indian Restaurant

"Neha is a great host and the curries are freshly made and very delicious. I also recommend that you give their masala tea a try. My favourite dish is the Chicken Vindaloo, with rice and their soft Naan bread that you can dip into the gravy for the ultimate and most beautiful Indian cuisine and experience Auckland city has to offer. All their delicious dishes are of top quality. Respectfuly, Aneez."

"(Visited on 21 August 2023, reviewed on 23 August 2023) My friends and I went to this restaurant for dinner. We ordered the Lamb Do Pyaza, Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani with the naan baskets (cheese, garlic and plain). All were delicious, especially the lamb Do Pyaza, which we asked for the Asian spicy level (not very spicy for me though). I also tried the mango kulfi and Masala Chai. The Masala Chai could be better as it tasted like a regular tea instead of one with spices, and the kulfi was not bad. Overall, it is still quite good for an affordable Indian meal in the CBD."

"Their lunch special is totally worth it if you are looking for some cheap and tasty eats which is pretty hard to find in Auckland nowadays. Tried the mutter panner which came with rice, Naan, paapad and a drink of your choice for 12.50$. Was really very tasty. Service and attention was top notch. Will be back to try the chicken and lamb dishes."

"Very poor customer service. I didn’t get to dine in this restaurant. 17/08/23 I went there to experience a good meal. Place wasn’t busy. But the staff member totally ignored me for a while and kept doing what she was doing. Didn’t even bother to say “ Hi”, common courtesy wasn’t there. To me it Looks like she is not getting paid enough to give a good service or she simply hate people. Finally she gave me a annoyed look and ask “ YES” in a loud voice . I said “ I need a table for one” . She point out the table next to me while she is standing inside the counter with a very unpleasant look. I didn’t feel comfortable with her welcome/ attitude and realised that I couldn’t expect anything good from this frustrated staff member.she should not be in service industry. I personally wouldn’t recommend this place and wouldn’t go there at all."

"All food we ate were amazing! Friendly, good atmosphere! I loved spinach one and also nut’s one. I will definitely come back!"
