Top 9 Indian food in Papamoa, North Island, New Zealand

September 21, 2019 Enedina Augsburger

Reviews on Indian food in Papamoa, North Island, New Zealand. Papamoa Beach is a suburb of Tauranga, located about 11 kilometres from the city centre. It is the largest residential suburb in Tauranga, having a population of 20,091 at the 2013 census. It is bordered to the west by Mount Maunganui (east of Sunrise Avenue and Hibiscus Avenue), the east by the Kaituna River (separating it from the Western Bay of Plenty District) and to the south by State Highway 2. Papamoa Beach has 16km of white sandy beach stretching from the boundary with Mount Maunganui in the west to the Kaituna River in the east. Widespread settlement of the area did not start until the early 1980s and prior to this Papamoa Beach had been largely a rural area. Once a small and tight knit community, many of Papamoa Beach's sweeping paddocks have been swallowed up by urban development. Papamoa Beach is currently one of the fastest growing suburbs of Tauranga, with many different subdivisions developing concurrently on different blocks of land on the fringes of the suburb.

Smart India Indian Restaurant

Reviewed By charlieboo2015

After we have visited all the Indian restaurants in Tauranga, Papamoa and the Mount, we still continue to return to Smart India. I usually order a dairy free veggie curry which is the best and my partner loves their butter chicken. The main waiter is amazing, he remembers our order every time!

It was a cold and dark Tauranga night and my wife and I wanted some Indian comfort food and we certainly got it from Talk of India. The Tandoori chicken and biriyani was excellent and the friendly staff (family run business) made it completely worth it! Would love to visit again one day.

Great Spice Tandoori Indian Restaurant

Reviewed By MatapihiLocals

This restaurant is no longer a stand-alone venue but part of the Papamoa Plaza foodcourt. Thankfully the food is just as quality as the former restaurant (we were really scared it would be runny and stale from sitting in trays all day long), but without the nice touches of the former venue. We have to collect the food from the counter - no table service, and the sizzlng platter entree is no longer on the sizzling platters which means it gets cold quicker. :-( We still dine here as they have had a $45 dinner special which is $15+ cheaper than the same at other restaurants, but it's not such a 'special' event anymore, ie, I would not recommend for special birthdays or occasions as the venue is less private and although new and modern/clean, will lack ambience.

Mumbai Masala Bistro

Reviewed By Tony K

An extensive menu which includes goat meat. That demonstrates authentic Indian cooking. Goat curry is exceptionally good - tastes better than lamb and more tender.They provide a takeaway service as well as restaurant. Pays to book as they get very busy. Again a sign of great food. 8/10 for the food and service.
