Mumbai Chaat

Tasty food.Great samosos and dabeli.Staff are okay and service is not up to the mark.

Food tastes alright, but price is rather high and service was sub par

As a very regular customer, I was left shocked with the response of the man on the phone claiming to be the owner. I still find it hard to believe that this is the owner as no sane business owner can be this self destructive towards their own business...can't be...must be a disgruntled employee. Having said that here is my experience.

This restaurant has turned out to be the worst nightmare for a PAYING customer!
For a simple complaint over the phone, this owner turned out to be a raging bully (serious anger management issues)!!! Yelling on top of his voice, for not following his instructions on how to "make a complaint", nasty statement in defence to my saying - " I actually did call the next day but no one attended" and the owner replies by asking "so you were trying to call me in the middle of the night? Because I always addend calls while the restaurant is open!"
I'm speechless being a lady customer and having been spoken to like that, has just left me stunned!!!
The story doesn't end here ... I went on to say "look I'm not calling with an intention of a refund, all I'm trying to explain is my past exp. of the food wasn't that fresh and soaked in oil, hence I'm hoping you ensure the food served this time is up-to mark!"
The owner went on a raging fit and started to insult me, yelling and not letting me speak and worse then gives an ultimatum, followed up with a hang up!!!

It almost felt like the moment you step into this restaurant you should salute the tyrant, shut up and eat whatever's given to you! It's a shame really, but my weekly to biweekly visits now turn to NEVER AGAIN!

Only for for food taste. Service is crap. Too small and wired sitting arrangements.

This is the best Indian in Sandringham, if not Auckland. The family uses their recipes that have been cooked by their mother for years and she has perfected them! They serve a range of meals and snacks cooked with just enough spice and their meals are not too oily or salty. They also use canola oil when lots of other restaurants in the area don’t. Try their maharaja thai or chaat platters if you want to try everything. The place is very clean, (I went there regularly when I was pregnant), The service is very friendly and fast, I have never had a bad experience here, I don't know what people are talking about, maybe they were the ones who were rude the family are helpful and gracious. If you don’t know what things are on the menu they have a booklet with descriptions of each dish.
