Star of India Taradale

My go to Indian takeaway restaurant. Yet to try a butter chicken that compares to star of India taradale. Always good service and very good food 👍🏼

” I had an outstanding experience at this Indian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and excellent service. The menu had a great range of traditional dishes, and everything we ordered was full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The butter chicken was creamy and delicious, the biryani was fragrant, and the naan was soft and fresh. The atmosphere was comfortable and beautifully decorated, making it a great place for families or date nights. Truly one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had—5 stars without a doubt!”

So I wanted to share my experience with this restaurant. I made a takeaway order on New Year’s Eve and when we took it home to eat, I found that my curry that I ordered was not the right one so and the problem was
we couldn’t get in contact with them because they were closing at nine and we basically picked up our order at 8.50. So the first opportunity I got was the next day I called and spoke to the manager Bibi who was giving me a bit of hassle of why I was telling them the next day I should’ve told him on the same day and then I tried to explain to say how can I tell you when your shop shut and then went on to tell me if I contacted him on his mobile etc there is no mobile number only the shop number on Google which is just not good customer service And then went on to say, can I prove that I’d actually bought it from that Restaurant and I would need my receipt. I didn’t get a receipt with my order he was talking to me like as if I was lying about the food that I got. In the end he said he would replace it which he did. The food is very tasty from here highly recommended. The girls on reception can’t do enough for you. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Asked if the vegetable biryani had fresh vegetables or if it was just frozen mixed vegetables. Was told it was a mixture of fresh and frozen. So I ordered. As I was given the meal the lady said the peas were fresh from her garden… I thought it interesting she has said that.. it was because IT WAS ALL FROZEN VEGETABLES!!! They lied… Biryani was terrible. Would not recommend this restaurant. Poor food and liars. 0 stars.

Creamy thick sauces that go with delicious curries. $12 lunch fills the spot. Dinner dishes are just as filling that you have leftovers! 🤤😋
This is hands down the number one best indian restaurant in Hawke's Bay thus far. The atmosphere, the staff, the presentation, the dishes and of course the prices. This team know how to make your night stress free. I feel that they take quality in making your food the way they would if your were in India. Great job, team!
