I'm not typically an Indian cuisine fan however I was blown away with not only the food at Maharaja but also the service. Could not rate the place higher, the waiter was incredibly helpful and was great with recommendations, we will definitely be back. Hi LthomasMany thanks for the review and we are glad you have enjoyed your experience,Hope to see you soon :)

We had a lovely meal here. We ordered loads and everything except the Tofu dish (giant chunks of tofu swimming in a sweet chilli looking sauce) was delicious! The yellow curry is amazing, moong dahl fabulous, wok fried greens & pad thai were both excellent. The service was great, we had a really nice young guy serving us and the atmosphere was spot on! Kids were disappointed to receive plastic straws in their drinks (KOS is too classy for plastic straws) and leftovers came in big ol' plastic take away containers :( Without the plastic faux pas we would have given KOS 5 stars.

A Pocket Full of Spices

Reviewed By LindsayM2399

We used to frequent this Curryhouse quite often until about a year ago when we thought the food had lost its appeal somewhat. Maybe a change in chef or ingredients perhaps?We were in town last night and decided on the spur of the moment to give it another try, To our joy it was even better than it ever was! Food very tasty, service friendly and efficient, in short a treat!

Kinji Japanese Restaurant

Reviewed By Stephen M

Enjoyed our experience last time so we came back for more. We commenced with 5 Kind of Sashimi, and Wakanui Caparceo which were absolutely scrumptious. A couple of our mains are worth high praise, King Prawn Tappin Sizzle and Teriyaki chicken. Our friends from Auckland very impressed that it was BYO also. Worth every penny, we will be back again.

Reviewed By ozzalina

The first impression was not that great- dingy dirty unloved space, staff did not seem to care too much about trying to upsell drinks. Wont be the bar space one would love to come back. We moved to the table and ordered food. The duck curry was flavoursome and fragrant. We loved it. Prawn dish was tasty but extremely messy to eat. Its a bit of a joke to serve prawns not pilled when you charging top $$$. The coconut ice cream was sublime. I would have it again anytime. We were served/checked on by at least 4 different staff members, who did not seem to communicate with each other and kept asking us the same questions. Overall- we will be back for food.

Mumbaiwala Indian Street Kitchen

Reviewed By startravel01

The food here is so good and tasty that i make sure i go to this restaurant everytime i go to Christchurch on business. I have been here 6 times in the past 4 weeks and the food standard is always high. The vegetarian sliders are very nice for an entree and the biriyani is a must try. Lamb curry is super. Highly recommend it to visitors. It's a licensed place as well and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's located in front of the ibis hotel.

Thai Orchid

Reviewed By DonnaHewer

Visiting from Hamilton and family ordered a takeaway. We love Thai food but found this takeaway to be disappointing. The pad thai tasted stale and the flavors in the sweet and sour and chicken and cashews were strange and nothing like thai we have ever had either in Thailand or NZ. I'd try somewhere else. I don't do negative reviews lightly but this was warranted. Don't bother, I'm sure you could get better food elsewhere.

We met the owner who explained the dishes to us and helped guide us in our selections. Strong recommendation.Just like to thank you for your review as it means a lot to Nobanno and its team. We are very pleased to know that you had a great dinning experience at Nobanno.
