Hear From Our happy customers
What our customers are saying about Indian Kiwi Kitchen.
"Best butter chicken anywhere between Tauranga and Waihi. The sauce is velvety, and the garlic naan is blistered perfection. We also grabbed fish and chips for lunch yesterday— crispy, light, and huge portions."
"The perfect combination of Indian food and Kiwi favourites. My partner had the Lamb Biryani while I enjoyed the fresh seafood basket. Both were spot on, plus the spiced chai was heaven."
"Great place for a family meal. We'll definitely be back! Kid-friendly options alongside authentic spicy curries for the parents. Super friendly staff who made us feel right at home."
