Novelty Sweets & Restaurant Auckland

"Terrible experience. The staff displayed extreme rudeness and provided abysmal customer service. To make matters worse, they served us mild food instead of the medium hot we had requested, and it lacked any flavor whatsoever. Frustrated, we decided to order something else, only to endure an agonizingly long wait. As we waited for our naans, all of our curries grew cold. The process of simply placing an order dragged on endlessly. When we voiced our concerns, the staff responded with a single rude remark, claiming they were too busy to address our issues. If they are unable to handle customers, they should have been honest and informed us that they were at full capacity. While I understand they may have been busy, they should have prioritized the customers already seated."

"Our experience at Novelty Restaurant in Auckland was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for a treat. The chole bhature, dosa, noodles, and standard thali we ordered were like a symphony of flavors that danced on our taste buds. The novelty of this restaurant truly shines through as it stands as a pioneer, being the only place in Auckland that caters exclusively to vegetarian enthusiasts. While the self-service concept might be different, it didn't detract from the overall charm of the place. In fact, it added a touch of uniqueness to our visit. The dedication to quality and the assortment of dishes available were beyond impressive. For vegetarians like us, Novelty Restaurant is an oasis of culinary creativity. If you're seeking an unforgettable vegetarian dining experience, Novelty Restaurant is a true masterpiece waiting to be savored!"

"This the place to go to if you are craving for authentic Indian Rasmalai! It’s totally worth it! The taste and flavor is really good! I have also had their samosas and bread pakora- even their savory is really nice! Would recommend this place if you are craving for authentic Indian savory or sweet dish!"

"Very disappointing experience in here!! People come here thinking they would be served good indian food !! But its absolutely tasteless Pani puri ( stuffing is just pale boiled dry potato sprinkled with salt) puris not at all good Sevi puri is also a big time disaster And Rasgula is a hard ice ball has no feel of Rasgula"

"Sheer disappointment ! Food and service both. We ordered a chat platter - pani puri arrived without any pani. The puris were hard and didn’t seem fresh. Tiki was soggy. The Chinese platter was even worse. Poor food d quality and no flavour. The monchow soup was probably the worst ever. Oily and without any flavour. No wonder the place was empty. Waste of money !"
