Curry Mahal has long been Lower Hutt’s favorite dining experience.
Curry Mahal is unassuming from the outside, a step inside, calm and inviting, with full of personal touch and graceful hospitality.

Elegantly presented, Curry Mahal offers dozens of exciting dishes, with an enticing array of vegetarian selections as well. Tartly sweet tamarind, coriander, almond cream and dozens of other surprising essences appear in every course. Lamb and chicken are marinated in yogurt and spices before slow charcoal roasting in an authentic clay tandoori oven, the results are juicy, lean and healthy. Abundant vegetables and seafood appear in basmati pullaw and baked dishes. Try the Navrattan Korma of garden vegetables, nuts and raisins in an aromatic cream sauce or the Bahar-e-Subz of assorted vegetables blended with traditional spices in a kadai, a wok-like skillet with fluffy fragrant basmati rice and fresh peas.

Consistently luxurious, Curry Mahal transports you to the exotic Indian taste and offers the perfect distraction from work, as well as a healthy and ethnic dining alternative. Not only does Curry Mahal have a beautiful dinning environment, but is available for on-site catering … let us bring the intriguing tastes of India spices & curries to you!

I saw this place had good reviews, so I thought Id give it a try.
I went in on the night of a All Black RWC match, they were dead in the shop and busy for takeaways.
I had a bit of a wait and the guy behind the counter was very friendly and accommodating.
Got home and the curry was awesome, beautiful fresh flavors just right on how thick the gravy was beautiful Naan and the spices were a perfect medium as we asked for.
Brilliant and i would recommend to anyone.

We had a Saturday night meal at Curry Mahal. The food was fine. We had butter chicken, a sweeter, creamier tomato version which my partner really enjoyed. I had boti masala, baked lamb pieces cooked in a spicy yoghurt sauce, which tasted good but the lamb was a bit dry after having being cooked twice. We enjoyed the diced chicken kulcha (bread) which went with our meal. The service was ok, although it took us a while to get someone’s attention when we first arrived; we could hear a lot of noise going on in the kitchen and a something that smelled like burning once the door opened, but nobody out front in the restaurant. The restaurant was completely empty during our whole meal (approx 45 mins). Once or twice a staff member popped out to see if we were ok, but otherwise we had the place to ourselves. The tv was playing above us, most likely so people dining later could watch the rugby while eating out, but the news was on during our meal and we found ourselves desperately wanting to turn down the ads … and, alas, no remote or staff member was to be found. Sadly, we felt this completely ruined the atmosphere in the restaurant and doesn’t leave us wanting to go back any time soon.

Great Indian food. The spices are not bland and one dimensional like other Indian restaurants. This place offers a taste sensation. The prices are great too.

Love it. I get the Chicken Saag every time. Have got curry here every month or so for 5 years and never been disappointed although the naan is a bit dry sometimes. Dodgy decor but I’m there for the takeaways not the furnishings.

Absolutely awful. I have never had such a dreadful curry. Even the dog refused to eat it, so it had to be put in the bin. Never ever ever get a takeaway from this place.

TERRIBLE Place, went on friday night, waited 50min for our meals, when it arrived it was undercooked & over seasoned. It was easily the worst indian restaurant I have ever been to. Went with a party of five, all lovers of indian food. And every one of us at the end was just simply annoyed over the crap meal.

The staff were cluless and the place was simply a takeaway store with tables. Never waste your money here.

I have tried other curry restaurants throughout Wellington and Curry Mahal is still 2nd to none in my books. Tucked away a bit but don’t be put off – The food is wonderful and never disappoints me.
