Loveeedddd it. One of the best experience in Auckland. We decided to go here for Tuesday dinner. Place was not that crowded when we reached at something around 9. I dont know the name of the girl serving us. But got bestest possible hospitality by her. You rock girl!!!Food was just amazing. Nasi goreng is to die for and portion size is BIG. Kitchen was about to close and we had to place order for our mains. Without knowing we apparently ordered two of nasi goreng along with duck curry rice, butter chicken naan, chicken wings( again 2), Vietnamese spring rolls, cauliflower manchurian and Singaporean noodles and not to forget fire cracker chicken ( which was way too spicy for me could have only little piece) for 5 people which was more more than enough for us and we had to get parceled half of our food but we dont regret. Enjoyed it next day too. Ambience is also so good and nice. Enjoyed every bit of it. Visiting soon again n again.
Hmmm whats special about my dinner? Nothing really. The flavours werent popping. The famous fire cracker chicken was very spicy but it overpowered the actual flavours. I think maybe the sliders would be better.The mutton curry was a bit dry and boring. The pepper squid was bland and not crispy. Rice was too sticky for the curry, the stickiness was for show so it can make a tower. The cocktail was wayyyy too sweet.Wont be back.
I came here with a group of friends (around 12 of us). It gave me a very good impression and the table we were seated were spacious but cosy at the same time. However, from this point onwards it was all downhill. First of all, some of my friends who was already seated had order already, which was fine, so the few of us that came a few minutes later decided to order our mains too. BUT… the waitress came to our table and told us we were not allow to order mains because of the table we were seated on. But instead she tried to force us to order the $65 per person banquet. This does not make sense nor was it written anywhere on the menu or papers. This was after a few of us already had ordered mains.We discussed among ourselves after awhile and eventually the waitress told us that we can order the mains but we MUST share the food. This also does not make sense but since we were finally allowed to order our mains, we went ahead with this. So for this I would give the service 1/5.Finally the food arrived. The presentation was good, the noodles was good. But the Duck curry or anything with the duck was very much lack of flavour. On top of the service were getting, I was pretty much done for the night. I would give the food 2.5/5Would I go again? Most likely not.
Really enjoyed my meal here – the only downfall was the uninvited guests -flies, which seemed to never stop harassing us. The service was lovely, the food was great! And theyre on first tables which makes it even better.
Nice atmosphere, one of the kind decor. Great food with large portions, also quite reasonably priced. Their Beef Thai Salad was nice. However the rest of our food was not quite memorable. Average food presentation.Dont recommend sitting by the window during summer as there were heaps of flies!
3.5/5 RatingA very colourful interior and decorations throughout the restaurant.The menu is extensive with lots to choose from. The food is decent and the flavours are good without being too overpowering.Fresh ingredients with lots of spices and herbs in the varying dishes to give off different flavour palates.
This place is perfect for drinks and a decent meal to follow. Came here for a work function and it was super busy however they still managed to cater to our group promptly. Food was amazing. Ordered the Bali Prawn Curry which was really filling and spicy too which i liked with a couple sides. Definitely would come back here, even just for drinks.
