    It used to be the best and quickest option for parathas! Until A year ago, Food used to be very delicious! Now, it’s lost the quality! Not sure why! If it has maintained the same, I would have starred it 5/5.

    Some stuff is really good while some dishes are subpar. Also, the quality of the food ordered varies every time as mentioned above. Sometimes the parathas are to die for, while sometimes they are burnt and looks like they've been prepared in a hurry. The only thing consistent about this place is the low prices, quick service (if you call and place your order, it is likely that you don't have to wait for long and the order will have been made ready) and the chaat items (whose taste does not change, mostly). Hence the average ratings.

    This chat shop is really good. I ordered aloo paratha and it was very delicious. It has variety of chat items. Indians living in Auckland Central do visit it once.

    Food was amazing but wait time is very high. So if you are running and want a quicky then not a place for you

    Tasty Homely food Located right in the centre of the Auckland city CBD, just behind saravanaa bhawan , good option for vegetarian indian travellers. Food tastes yummy, just like indian street food, i felt like i am eating at my home.. kids loved the food too. Quite popular with locals. There is no dining place though, so you have to Take Away only. Qty is good and 1 dish is sufficient for 2 people ! Reasonably priced too !!

    The place looks a little unhygienic, had a Samosa Chaat here the other day wasn’t authentic at all was pretty bland. Food is fairly priced and reasonable. They have a wide menu. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    Authentic spicy OG curries. Feels like I’m in India every time I go. Love it. Also they close at 10pm, Nice!

    Do not waste your time and money on this restaurant. Ordered 3* aaloo paratha and one samosa chaat. The samosa chaat was spilled all over in the order as the container was leaky. On top of that instead of 3 parathas they gave me a lil more than half paratha. Upon calling the restaurant the person on phone was very rude and not admitting there mistake. Do yourself a favor and grab food from somewhere else!!!

    2 stars because the food is cheap, but you get what you pay for. I did like the paratha A LOT - it was really nice however, the Manchurian was microwaved and water separated from it - this was truly awful. I didn’t receive an order confirmation, so I thought to call the place just to double check. I was greeted by a lady who sounded SUPER sweet, but unfortunately could not really speak English. I tried very hard to talk slowly and use as simple words as I possibly could and she started feeling frustrated and flustered as she could not understand me - fair enough - I would too if I were in her shoes. I didn’t know what to say or do. She then said “speak Hindi” to me. Which I cannot. I then decided to walk over to the place and the lady was unsure about my order but couldn’t really tell me what was happening. She then walked around unsure and then returned and said “10 minutes”. I assumed this meant she is going to make the food. I really felt quite bad as she seemed a little helpless and there was no one there to help her at all. She also did not know how to use the POS system and we waited for so long to pay that she ended up taping anything on the screen and ended up under charging me. I tried explaining to her that I am happy to pay the price that the food is but she just didn’t know what to say and just tapped on the EFTPOS machine. So we just paid and left. This situation seemed to have been stressful for her and us. Naturally I will not be returning

    Got a couple of Parathas, takeaway. Unfortunately, I did not check the contents and when I reached home, I realised that they were quite burnt. Called them back but did not get a proper response. Beware if you are ordering takeaways.

    Horrible, I asked specifically not to put veggies on my noodles but they ignored my request and added veggies, they did not give/deliver my coke either which I was craving the whole day, waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for pure trash. Never again

    Normally I don't put review even if there is something wrong but this is second time I felt that their food is very unhygienic. I had an Aalo prantha from here and found 2 long hair in that prantha. It happened to me last month as well but this time I couldn't stop myself from putting this review. They should pay more attention in hygiene and cleanliness. To be honest I can't eat food from this shop anymore. Food is cheap no doubt and staff is nice and polite.
