The Curry House - Otaki

We really enjoy the takeaway from Curry Town and often have it as a treat. We've always had super friendly service and the pricing isn't too bad either.

We really enjoy Curry Town. Wonderfully helpful and friendly staff. Superb food and generous helpings. Our problem is what to choose as it all sounds so delicious. Sadly my husband is not a fan of Curry Town but when he's away I head there immediately. The Onion Bhaji is light and crispy, the raita fresh. Would highly recommend the Peshwari Naan and the Chicken tikka lababdah. Have been over and over and will be back soon.

Awesome place! have been here twice now, first time a couple of years ago and then the second 2 weeks ago. The first Indian place I have been to that actually gives you enough rice for the table!!! Food is great too!

This is the BEST Indian place i have ever been to. They by far exceed the places in wellington that have won a tonne of awards. however i do not recommend eat in as the place has NO ambiance what so ever, and it is definitely not the place to go for a couples night out bright ugly lighting and decor. I would HIGHLY recommend for takeaways though

Saturday September 4th,2010<br/ <br/ My wife picked out this restaurant after reading the online reviews. We have so far been disappointed by Indian restaurants in NZ, apart from one superb one we found in Taupo. Well, I am pleased to report that this one serves really good food and good portion sizes too!<br/ <br/ After choosing our seats, we were provided with glasses for our BYO wine and a saucer with a handful of peanuts on. Papadoms or bhuja mix might have been more appropriate?<br/ <br/ We had the mixed platter to start and it was served sizzling hot. It was the usual 'Indian mixed grill ' combo but was very tasty I particularly like the bed of thinly sliced fried onion/capsicum that the mixed platter was served on.<br/ <br/ For mains I ordered the Garlic Chilli Chicken (Indian Hot and it did not disappoint. My wife had the Chicken Jalfrezi equally as good.<br/ <br/ The complementary rice was fluffy and light but a little on the cool side. My wife asked for it to be warmed through too late for me because I had already loaded my plate and we were quickly provided with a fresh, full bowl which was nice and hot.<br/ <br/ The accompanying plain naan bread (mine was nice enough but the Peshwari naan (the wife 's was a little crisp and fell apart so she ate most of mine! <br/ <br/ Service was a tad slow but not too bad there was a large group in the restaurant when we arrived so that must have put the kitchen under some pressure. We were in restaurant for two hours (1830 2030 and had two courses and a bottle of wine : Wine is reasonably priced in my opinion we paid $28 for a bottle of Spy Valley sauvignon blanc. <br/ <br/ The serving staff were very young and apart from one of them, their dress was a little too casual for me. The young girl who was fetching food from the kitchen was equally 'dressed down ' at first I thought she was someone who had come in for a take out. They were polite enough though.<br/ <br/ As for the restaurant itself, it is pretty non descript and the decor a little bland. There is a line of 'oriental ' framed prints along both walls but nothing that says 'Indian '. Call me old fashioned, but I like the bright colour, decor and background music that one usually associates with an Indian restaurant. There was a plasma screen at the end of the room playing Bollywood Movies with the sound off but it seemed totally out of place. <br/ <br/ All in all though, I rate the food here as the best I have eaten in the Kapiti area, and I would say it is probably better than most I have tried in Wellington and I eat a lot of curry!<br/ <br/ We will be happy to go back why not give it a go yourselves?
