India Today

Reviewed By CollRr

India Today was recommended to us by a local as being the best Indian restaurant in New Plymouth. It lived up to its reputation. The restaurant is run well with prompt servings of water and drinks. Complimentary pappadums were served. The meals: samosas for starters, followed by prawn curry and butter prawns were tasty and flavoursome. If you like Indian food, this is a place to try. You can sit outside on the sidewalk, inside or near big ranch sliders that open right up.

Tangra Street

Reviewed By NewZealandGordon

Amazing food, great casual atmosphere. Good prices. The food is so different to anything else in new plymouth. Every single dish we ordered was good. They even brought us complimentary dishes that we didn't order that were amazing too. The waiter was awesome, can't remember his name but it started with a J and he was really friendly and helpful. It was my birthday meal and ended up being a really awesome unexpected evening. My recommendation is the dry gobe manchurian.

Great food, lovely service and definitely good value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal with our daughters and especially loved the innovative nann bread with chilli and olives. Who would have though Olives would taste so good with curry? We enjoyed it so much that our daughters insisted that we needed to return for lunch the next day. Can't wait to visit again next time we're in New Plymouth.

Chicken Dosa with coconut chutney, chicken Ishtoo and chicken Manchurian were standouts for me. Generous portions, timely service. I am not usually a fan of Indian food but loved my Indian food experience at Malabar and would recommend trying it out for casual dining. I will definitely return and will try their takeout too.

Koi Spice Craft & Whisky

Contemporary upmarket authentic Indian Malay restaurant with a point of difference. We also specialise in craft beer and good selection of single malt/ blended whisky. Please ask about the upcoming tasting nights. Private whisky lockers are also available

Reviewed By HelenR3065

Went here with friends for dinner and had the lamb rack (which was actually three lamb cutlets) and it was really bland and the cutlets were overcooked and dry. My friends had the Kuning curry and the Bhuna Mema which were both really great. We also had a variety of the Naan breads and they were great. The waitress had recommended a few of her favourites and the lamb cutlets was not on her list - maybe that is why! The Kuning curry was though.The waitress and the guy behind the bar were both lovely and very apologetic about the cutlets. I would go again, but listen to the waitress for her recommendation next time.

So very impressed with the quick service! Even though the place was busy, the food all come out very quickly. Excellent friendly staff. We had a slight problem with one of our orders getting mixed up (medium instead of mild) but all in all very good

Abhi was out waiter and he gave excellent service with a beautiful smile.We decided to try something totally different to our normal order so we ordered Hari Bhri Aloo Tikki for our entre, it was tasty, the sauces definitely top it off - delicious!For main we shared the chef's special - beef curry and chicken korma. The chefs special, beef dish was divine! We would definitely order that again, medium spice, so tasty! Will return again and definitely recommend India Today
