I was very surprised at the great service and the very reasonable prices, and the short waiting time. The NEW building was a PLUS. It was lovely surprise for my wife, for her 63rd birthday. The staff also wished her a happy birthday. Their attention to detail was surprising. Overall, one of the better places to eat in the Wellington region. We will go again. HIGHLY recommended!

We ate here while on a recent holiday at Waikanae Beach and were pleasantly surprised with the delicious food and value for money. The only downside was the restaurant being so quiet – only us and one other table of two – so did feel a bit watched by staff who were very attentive. Being from Wellington we had worried about whether we would get in on a Friday night with no booking!

I love Samrat and I am happy to say I eat there regularly and takeaway. I am vegetarian and I find the menu varied and tasty every time.

My daughter booked a table for two to celebrate Mothers Day, arrived at the correct time expecting to have an enjoyable evening BUT was told there was no table available. No time was taken to apologise, no thought was put into trying to organise a table for us they simple DIDN’T care. With their total lack of customer service I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

Our first visit to the restaurant, and it was bad, the chili chicken st inked, the lamb vindaloos had to much tomato paste, and the beef had to much yogurt, and on top of that the naan was to hard, it was inedible.

By far the best Indian restaurant on the Kapiti Coast that does the best Butter Chicken. It’s simply amazing.

We had a family birthday and our takeaways were delivered bang on time. The food was delicious. Would recommend Samrat as the effort that went into helping use choose the menu for the night was great. Thank you.

My first visit to this restaurant was shortly after it opened and I found the food reasonably good. However after returning about a year later with friends, we were shocked at the poor quality of the food. The tandoori prawns were dry and incredibly salty and the Peshawari chops were no longer nice mid-loin chops, but tough, sinewy shoulder chops which were inedible.

Moreover, the owners teenage son was staring at us the whole time, and when the waitress took departing customer’s money, he stood over her like she was a common thief.

The Bollywood type videos which are on constantly were intrusive and noisy.

Never again.

Really good Indian, We had ours delivered. It was on time and tasted great. Highly recommended.

One of the best Indian Restaurants in the Wellington area. Great food, great atmosphere, have been back and will be back again. Also have delivery so we can enjoy the great taste even when we are at home Keep up the great work guys.
