If there could have been half star to select I would have done that. Pathetic customer service from owner and specially from his rude son. Seems that he hasn’t smiled for years.
I had this experience from last week, me and my wife were having lunch and interm we ordered something to their serving staff and the owner’s son shouted and said “Hello you…. come here and order here and started shouting to their lady staff that why you are taking their order”.
I think both of them should first learn how to respect women and then learn some basic customer service and then run this business and sorry one suggestion to owner..send your son to some good primary school again…Never ever recommend anybody.

Loved the food and the service of Mumbai Chaat. Made me nostalgic as the food is a true taste of Mumbai food. I’d say this place surely gives you a feel of Mumbai City..absolutely loved it. However, the ambience could’ve been a little more better. Never mind cause the food tops it all. Strongly recommended cause it is very different and much better than the usual chaat outlets in Auckland.

I can’t believe the negative reviews. Just ate at Mumbai Chaat in Sandringham and the food was delicious and service fantastic. The owner or person in charge was so kind and patient explaining the different dishes to my husband and I, and other staff were full of smiles. We have been eating vegetarian Indian for years, and this is some of the best, freshest most flavoursome food we’ve had. The samosas are to dye for. Had South Indian combo today, and was fantastic. The Dosa was divine.
We will be bypassing the other places in Sandringham now and heading straight for there. Can’t recommend the food enough. Oh and the prices are great too.

Never order a Biryani from here, very poorly made does not fall even near the term “BIRYANI” no flavour doesn’t taste like basmati rice very dismal sorry to say. Feels like we have been ripped off paying $9.50 for it….

Went to Mumbai Chat Sandringham today. It seemed like we were not welcome at all. We ordered just 2 dishes. Besides just having 2 other diners, the owner/whoever was at the counter, forgot to serve us our order. We waited for some time amidst the owner screaming something to his waiting staff from time to time, and then reminded about our order, finally we were served although the owner was not apologetic at all. And finally when we got to eat it, food was not cooked through, was not freshly made and tasted awful. Even the tea was poor, and sev puri, very pitiful.

Really regretted going there, paying money for poor food and very rude service! Will never go there again and will not recommend it for anyone!

Food is good but customer service is pathetic, owners son is rude and obnoxious, should be put at cleaning trash rather at front counter. Never gona go again

Terrible service, both the owner and his son need to a learn some manners in dealing with their customers, unfortunately we visited the Sandringham branch as well and looks like they still haven’t learnt customer service etiquette. Shocking these people are actually in business considering their food is mediocre.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had! =)
I really recommend the pizza.. I will be back again.

The food was so tasty, I didn’t want the taste to leave my mouth! =)

I’m happy to give Mumbai Chaat 5 stars =)
