We had a pleasant night at Indian Sumner.

The food was tasty, however none of us were asked for the spice level we wanted which some of the crew found interesting.

No Kingfisher Strong was available (a cardinal sin to some if us). The service was friendly but they seemed to struggle with dealing with a large group.

Overall a good night and enjoyable food.

Having dined at this delightful restaurant numerous times I cannot understand the 1 star rating, ridiculous, best Indian food I have had…friendly efficient staff. Recommend the mixed platter…superb.Great value for money. Definitely a 5 star rating.

I can completely understand why this restaurant received a one star review. The service was friendly and the music and atmosphere were certainly authentic, however this is where the authenticity ends. The 2 main dishes we ordered tasted identical, contained no vegetables and bore a surprising similarity to ragu with curry powder. I have to add that the naan bread was very nice, however the rice tasted as though it had been pre cooked and microwaved. I was really looking forward to this meal, unfortunately it was the second worst Indian meal I have ever eaten.

They make a pretty good curry here. It’s a definite if your craving Indian in Sumner

Have eaten here probably a 100 times, is our Sunday evening ritual. We enjoy the food every time and never get tired of it as it is amazing. We spent a month in India and cannot say we found anything better than what is on offer here. The staff passion and enthusiasm for the food and creating a great experience for their customers is second to none.

Great food everytime. Could eat this every day.

The best Indian without a doubt! I am a lover of Indian food and have tried numerous Indian restaurants around Christchurch, but none compare to Indian Sumner, which is probably why it has gained such a loyal local customer base.
I have been to Indian Sumner countless times and the food is always delicious, both entrees and curries. The setting is cosy and authentic, with friendly and attentive staff.
I don’t know how this restaurant got a 1-star review, but I am inclined to think that the author is associated with rival restaurant Little India!

The worst interpretation of Indian cuisine I have ever experienced.

Have been twice and both times bhaji’s raw in the middle and mango chicken is like watties tomato soup, curries are tasteless and consistently poor quality, quantity combined with a ‘don’t give a toss’ service.

Go across the road for great curry and service to match

Best Indian food I’ve ever had in NZ. I have been visiting this place for years now, and the food quality and taste haven’t changed a bit. Friendly staff and owners, nice ambiance.
