  Kadhi-khichdi was really really tasty. I specially prefer to have gujarati food over here. Aunty and uncle really treat you as a family. Fresh food.

  A small group of friends decided to visit this wee gem of a place in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland. I recall visiting the same named place; then in the Sandringham area, where among others, is another favourite of mine, named Paradise. We were warmly greeted & welcomed & were able to be seated quite comfortably. The owner came up & greeted us all, making us feel comfortable & at home. The colorful menu (photo) was easily read & we could not wait to try out the entrees as most of these are snack type Gujarati style food items. Their Sev Puri & Samosa Chaat & Khamman (2 varieties) Dahi Puri all went down so fast I honestly forgot to take a few photos. My apologies & compliments to their Chefs for preparation presentation & superfast delivery of each of the orders. We have heard commendably well about some of their dishes & were hoping to try a few more, we managed to get to a Puri Bhaji, Shrikhand Puri, Dabeli( vege burger like no other) & enquired about their Gujarati Daal Rice combo, this was a real amazing surprise for us all, as all of us sampled it & were genuinely delighted at how superbly tasty it was. The rice was unbelievably fluffy & just outstanding & the Daal is most uniquely flavoured. I know, I am failing to describe it aptly. But believe it or not this is one special item which is a signature dish; among others. We also loved The freshly prepared sweet saffron Shrikhand with a Puri. The Shrikhand was freshly prepared & such a delight to relish, no Gujarati meal is complete without their famous Masala Tea/ Chai! We were absolutely delighted to have experienced such a simple vegetarian meal with such great satisfaction & happiness. The owner came over & shared a few humourous anecdotes in the vernacular & we had a most delightfully enjoyable evening. The seating is simple so is the decor, & ambience is down to earth & not fancy at all. Its the culinary skills of this family team of amazing chefs whose brilliance outshines any shortcomings in decor or ambience. Once you sample their dishes, you are in your own world of culinary heaven. The one thing that truly stands out is their warmth & true hospitality this team deserves a full five rating based on just their culinary expertise & excellence. I realise that many flashier restaurants with way more flashier ambience & frills are not awarded a 5 rating easily by yours truly; so this is a genuine exception foodwise. I hope you too get a chance to get a taste of Gujarati food & I hope I shall drop a hint to name a special dish, which I hope you may get to experience someday; the name is Undhiyoo. Add one more, Kadi Khichdi. So do enquire if you can sample it sometime. The rest I shall let your tastebuds discover. Compliments to the entire team & owners of this splendid eatery for your kind hospitality & superb food. May you enjoy the patronage of many more food loving people who read this review.

  We went there coz our friend took us. He likes Pav bhaji so much. Nice food but service is not that good. We were waiting for 20 mins but no one asked us anything. But food is nice if you want to eat homely Pav bhaji n sev khamani n khaman this place is must try.
