Reviews for Shahi Indian Experience

A great hidden gem: away from the hustle and bustle of Ponsonby, I love the atmosphere in this restaurant. The service is quick and precise, the food is delicious and fairly priced. However, what really makes me come back here (a part from the mixed platter – awesome) is the genuine kindness of the staff.

The people are friendly and the food is good and well priced. I have had takeaways from here several times since moving to Auckland. Never eaten in so not sure what the restaurant is like. Really cannot believe the first review for this place as they have always been so friendly and the food is good. This a good local indian in Herne Bay.

Just moved into the neighbourhood recently and as we were assessing the menu in the doorway of Shahi, a passerby recommended us to try Shahi. It has good vegetarian options and was reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meals and have been back again I’d give it more 3.5 stars than 4, but I guess you have to round up your ratings here.

Can’t comment about the “dining experience” (not sure if I can quite believe the other review for this place as they were very friendly to us) but as it is within walking distance this is my go to place for a takeaway curry on a Friday night.

Never ever dining at this place!!
My partner and i thought we would have dinner at Shahi,we both walk in I greet the guy over the counter with a no reply blank stare, I asked table for 2 please and the guy quickly response was “YOU KNOW IT’S GONNA COST YOU ALOT OF MONEY”? at first I thought it was a joke but he had a dead stare in his eye, I was so shocked I asked him,um what? He then goes do you have enough money to dine here? I looked at my partner and I said to him, let’s go not dining here as we walked out he still kept starring at us from afar. I have no idea what his probelm was, but he made sure we weren’t gonna dine there. Will not dine at this place ever.
