"Absolutely amazing! We ordered 3 takeaway curries and we were all so satisfied and impressed with the quality of these meals. We used to dine in at Curry Village about 20 years ago regularly until we moved out of the region. It is so lovely to see nothing has changed. The quality of food and the staff are still amazing. Thanks team, we are so grateful you are still serving up the best curries in the Porirua region. Highly recommend."

"Went here on a monday night. They were not busy so food came out very fast. The flavors were great. Nice a d friendly waiters. The place has good ambience. 10 of us and we had a good time here. Maybe the toilets can do with a do-over. This was the only let down."

"Our group's recent food order was a resounding success! While the various curries we selected shared a similar, enticing appearance, the depth of flavor in each was truly impressive. Every dish offered a unique and satisfying taste experience, leaving us all thoroughly pleased with our choices. Beyond the delicious food, the service we received was also noteworthy. Attentive and efficient, the staff ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Overall, our group was delighted with both the quality of the food and the excellent service. It made for a fantastic shared meal and a great experience all around. We'll definitely be ordering again!"

"My family and I have lunch here very often on Saturdays. We love it. The food is delicious and portions are very generous :) Service is excellent. The staff is one of the best in Wellington, very friendly, nice and helpful. It's one of the few places where you can eat what you expect, like my child and I, being unable to eat spicy food, they serve us very mild meals. Beautiful set-up, nice location next to shops. Parking can be accessed on the street. It's just perfect for families with children, small or large groups."

"We ordered Tikka Masala, Garlic Chilli Chicken and two naans to go Friday evening. But there was no naan for missing orders and we checked it at home. When I called the store, they apologized for the mistake and delivered it directly to my house. Their service was really good. But in fact I was already happy to taste the food before they showed this service It's really good food !! and naan was chewy and savory and the most delicious naan I've ever eaten (Please note that curry oil is on all parts of the packaging container.)"

"The general service and time for meals to come out is excellent. I had the Chicken bhadi with Naan bread. The Naan was a little over cooked. I asked for the bhadi in a medium-mild. It tasted like a mild. It was ok overall. Nice setting, seating at the table was a little cramped, plenty of space between tables."

"My favourite Indian restaurant. Curry is always flavoursome, crispy naan bread. Highly recommend the Vindaloo or Tikka Masala!"
