Worst restaurant.Drove all the way from manukau after making a booking to be told no table is free.The owner made us wait for 40 minutes and when we advised him to cancel our booking not even said sorry and has a as if I care attitude!Would have given 0 if there was one in the rating!

We had an amazing evening at Chand last week. The prawn jalfrezie is the best I have tasted. Great place for a group booking. The service is quick and friendly. My partner had the lamb vindaloo which was a hit for him but way too spicy for me! The rest of our party loved their meals too.

Probably the favourite place for our SCBU staff dinner get togethers. At a difficult time economically,we always find the Chand does a tasty meal at a very reasonable price.We like the pleasant,colourful surroundings,seating arrangements and fast,cheerful service.Its always a treat for us to go there, and find that it is always so consistent in meal quality and service.

great food although sometimes the service is not that great when they are busy, but that shouldnt be an excuse as the meals are not for free, we go back time after time because the food is so good but please busy or not the service should be the same.

Delicious butter chicken, and im told the other dishes are just as good, I wouldnt know, I cant get enough of the butter chicken!

For an excellent curry you would be hard pressed to find another Indian restaurant to equal Chands. The prices are so reasonable, which makes it easier to go more often!
Expertly managed and the waiters always have a smile – unlike many other restaurants. So congratulations to all of you at Chands !!

A great local that we keep on returning to! The food is excellent – always delicious and generous servings to fill up the hungriest diner. The prices are reasonable. They have gone up a bit ($9 mains to $13 mains) in a couple of years but this is to be expected. Even though that the vegetarian dishes are the same price as all the meat dishes including seafood, I find a bit strange. They used to be at least $1 cheaper.
The service is also very g good. A great improvement from when they had the 15 year old school girls working here doing the waitressing – they forgot orders, meals often coming 10minutes after the rest of the table had finished eating, were rude and disinterested and and once spilled a whole dish of butter chicken into a friends handbag! The waiting staff now are attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and food and up for a joke.
The manager, as well as some of the staff, know the regulars by name and always asks what we and the family are up to.
They are prepared to go the extra mile – on one occasion a toddler was sick over his dad as well as the table and restaurant. They were there to help out immediately, clean up and even packed up all our food to take home – no funny, disgusted or annoyed looks or comments – which granted the circumstances, I myself would have found hard to hide.
The only complaint would be that on last months visit I was informed that the waiter could not explain what ingredients were in 2 of the cocktails on their menu as he was too busy! I was a little speechless and ordered a vodka orange instead to which he replied he would only be able to deliver this if it died down a bit and he had time – which was a little weird. I thought I was there to receive food , drink and service and in return leave my hard earned cash. In the end I did get my drink. I guess everyone has their off days?!
We will still defiantly be back as it is a value for money delicious and fun experience.

After going to this restaurant once and seeing how busy it was, and how good the food was we decided second time round to book in advance. However on arrival on time, the booking had not been written in the book and staff didn’t really seem to care, after extreme embarrassment as we had taken friends there and an hour waiting without an eta on a table we left. And went to another Indian restaurant that was happy to take us! Unfortunate really as the food was so good.

Best Indian Food Around. Great place great staff have been going for years. Don’t forget cheep for what you get.

The food is exquisite, and the waiters are awesome, real entertainers. Been to restaurant numerous times, just 2 of us and in parties up to 20, they have been fantastic everytime.
We will keep going back.
Thanx Guys
