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.

We dine here regularly for the great tasting dishes and quality service. The man running the restaurant is very generous.

So I went to dinner and was charged $183 for two meals, there entries, two wines and 6 whiskey and coke Which I paid. The next day when I called up and made the same order because I wanted to check the prices) it came to $132 which I thought that this was odd so latter that day I went and spoke the the guy that served me, to ask about the price difference. He told me that the prices on the menu where wrong and that I had to add 50c to everything on the menu and that the whiskey at $8.50 didn't actually include the can of coke and that the actual price was $14.50 this is not explained on the menu) because I would never pay that much. Anyway even with this dodgy explanation the total only added up to $178 and not $183 of which I was originally charged. I did enjoy the food but I strongly recommend that you check the exact prices before you dine.

To say the food was delicious would be an understatement, very authentic, just the right flavors. The shining star of this restaurant was our gracious host Mr K Ram. He made us feel so welcome, thank you very much. We will definitely return.

We just enjoyed a wonderful impromptu birthday dinner at Samrat Indian Restaurant. They have a large selection of stuffed breads and the curries are delicious. Order “extra hot” if you can handle serious spice; it was delightfully picante for these homesick Texans! The atmosphere was so cozy on a rainy evening. But the crowning feature was the attentive and funny owner! He made our night. We’ll definitely swing by again if we’re ever back in Waikanae.
