I often eat Indian (vegetarian) when I travel. This was by far the most expensive and underwhelming ever.
The food is too salty (never had that before) and the extra $5 for the rice on top of the already higher price than normal makes this a “not going back there” place.
I pay less in Auckland (which is notorious for its high prices) and get much better taste.
The atmosphere was OK, as was the guy’s service though.

I’ve been to a lot of indian shops in the Bay of Plenty. I used to work at a couple that imported their chefs from India. I’ve sat in the Gurdwara and enjoyed the finest lungar. I know what authentic Indian cuisine should taste like.
I’ve been here a few times and tried a few different meals. The kormas are a funny colour and did not taste like cashew nut gravy. The buttered chicken and paneer are overly sweet and do not taste tomato based. Most of the mains are off in flavour, texture, and colour and are not really worth mentioning in a delightful way.
The appertisers are good, the vege’ samosas are nice, the restaurant is clean and has a comforting vibe’. Customer service, well… Is customer service. Professionalism is more needed by their waiters. The menu on their facebook page is misleading. In regards to the menu and quality food you can buy. They are slightly over priced.

The food, sevice and atmosphere were lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed the meals, price and service. The staff who served were very helpful and friendly. Overall a thoroughly good experience.

The food is nice how ever its over priced more expensive then Indian restaurants in Sydney NSW. I got a curry, rice, naan bread with drink all cost $32. The naan bread was very small. I think a fair market price would have been $18 definitely not $32

OK I had a look at the other reviews and can honestly say that I have obviously been to a different restaurant. The food was excellent (NO it wasn’t bloody butter chicken ) The service was excellent and the girl who served us was delightful.
Would highly recommend trying this restaurant and not going by the reviews

We went on a very quiet Thursday night – which, is a real shame. We were the only eat in diners and there were four takeaway collects in the hour and half that we were there. We all need to get out and support our local restaurants or lose them!
The food was excellent. We started by sharing a mixed vegetable platter which was piping hot at the table, and the coating was crispy thin – the Paneer was particularly delicious. For the mains her in charge went with the lamb and I had the Chicken cooked indian hot both with a garlic naan. Really liked the portion size and the fact that the spices in the dishes had been properly cooked and both the meats were melt in the mouth.
Overall we enjoyed our visit and taste of well presented indian foods. A definite in our repeat calendar.

I ordered the chicken tikka masala last night for delivery. The chicken was very hard and smelly, and I was not able to cut it even with knife, and the chef added too much colour in the curry. The tandoori roti was raw and like rubber. Not the good experience with you guys.

Really not that impressed, we used to live closer and be regulars. Decided pick some up On our way through tonight and I got my usual order. When I got home we have 1/2 the amount of rice as usual and literally 8 bits of chicken in the whole thing. I basically got a butter chicken flavoured soup. And $51 later.
It is tasty but just really disappointing on the quantity for the price. Wouldn’t go back again.

Always made to feel very welcome here – nay more like special! One of us is a bacardi drinker…. the first time we visited, there was no bacardi available. Shock, horror was the response of said bacardi drinker! With no more ado “someone” exited stage right…. purchased a bottle of the Cuban beverage and served up a long iced and coked zwink! From thereonin a certain someone receives preferential treatment every time he crosses the threshold! In the flash of an eye his beverage is served up with a smile….and then, and only then, can the rest of our party put in their requests for liquid refreshment!
This never ceases to amuse people we are dining with. I have to say staff here offer excellent service. The food is also quite excellent. But please, don’t tell above ten!

IGNORE THE LOW RATING. This place is decent. Butter chicken one of the better ones I’ve had in recent times, not too sweet like they usually are at other places. Lamb Rogan Josh medium with just a nice little kick, Lamb was melt in your mouth. Garlic naans are pretty good, Samoa’s are yummy. At the time of writing this Mehtab is rated 3.9. They deserve much better. Please support this place, Katikati needs to keep Mehtab in operation.. yummy! Will 100% be back.
