Samrat Indian - Paraparaumu

The best curry in the greater Wellington region. Without fail, the Samrat team is warm, friendly, and fast. Perfect meals every time. And the Naan...we always need extra as the kids hoover them.

I was really looking forward to my curry. Unfortunately I was left a little disappointed. I ordered a medium spiced Garlic Chilli Chicken, and unfortunately it was neither garlicky or spicy! In fact there was NO spice whatsoever. It was also pretty bland and needed more....something (not salt). I also tried the dishes the rest of the family orderded, and whilst also bland and under spiced we all agreed, that appart from that they were OK and we'd like to give them another shot. The butter chicken was probably the nicest I've had in Kapiti not too sweet and not tasting like it had just had a tin of tomato soup poured over it it was just...so bland.

Really enjoyed our improv lunch today at Samrat waikane melt in your mouth goat curry. Family friendly too the babies had a great time. Perfect place for a catch up of the mums

This restaurant is a hidden gem of the Waikanae region. From the moment you step inside the restaurant, you are greeted with a cosy ambience and great hospitality. The food is delicious and portion sizes are decent. The owner personally made sure we were enjoying the food and offered great insights into the menu, origin of dishes and provided recommendations after understanding our preferences. We had seekh kebab for entree followed by saag paneer and bhuna gosht. We were licking our plates...very tasty food. Highly recommended restaurant.

The menu was detailed with a wide selection on offer. A very pleasant dining experience. We were struggling to finish. I did enjoy the chicken tikka brought out to our table on a hot sizzling plate. The breads were fresh and hot and the raiki ? Yoghurt/green dip was fresh and appertising. We have been a few times now and have always enjoyed the quality. The staff were very attentive and obliging.
