Mumbai Masala Papamoa has quickly become one of my all-time favourite local spots. Every meal here is a flavour explosion — rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the chefs take real pride in their craft; every curry is layered with depth, and the naan is soft, warm, and cooked to perfection. The service is just as impressive — friendly, genuine, and attentive without being overbearing. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeaway, they make you feel genuinely valued. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the portions are generous, and the consistency is remarkable — every visit is a 10/10 experience. If you love Indian cuisine (or even if you think you don’t yet), this place will convert you. Easily the best Indian food in the Bay, and honestly, one of the best meals you’ll find anywhere. Highly recommend the butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, and garlic naan — but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

We come here almost every week (the only place we enjoy so much we would!) and every time the food is incredible, the staff are personable and remember our order, accommodate our dietary changes and remember them without us asking. The food is always flavourful, great portion sizes. One of our favourite places to eat in town, consistently great enough for us to look forward to visiting every time. Thanks so much guys!
