We stumbled upon this restaurant based on recommendations from friends during our visit to Tauranga, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. What sets this place apart is its authenticity. Unlike other restaurants, this place has a genuine taste of India, which is a rare find outside the country. For starters, we ordered chicken tikka and momos (prepared in an authentic Nepalese style, which was AMAZING!). For mains, we had chicken tikka masala, lamb curry and butter naan. Every dish was exceptional, with just the right balance of flavors and not overly heavy on oil, unlike many other places. The warm hospitality of the staff, particularly Ashok, the manager, made this place distinct. His recommendations based on our preferences truly enhanced our experience. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Tauranga and a definite must-visit if you're in the area. I'll certainly be returning on my next trip without a doubt!

Staff here were amazing, asked for extra sides (not sire what they're called) and were given quite a few. Also when we accidently pulled the table cloth off which resulted in our glass of water flying away and breaking all over the floor, they were still 100% professional about it. Absolutely fantastic service. The food was quite nice and reasonably priced, as well as the beers. Will definitely recommend this place to others and head there again next time I'm in Tauranga!

The food here is absolutely divine. All of our meals were great. Poppadums arrived first, then our drinks, and then our meals with our naan bread. Our meals were a little slow coming out but were very yummy. Got the lunch special, which is such good value. Would really recommend this place for great Indian food.

Had a beautiful dinner here tonight. The garlic cheese naan was the best I’ve ever had. Our chicken mains were beautiful. The chicken was super tender and moist. The service was very polite and efficient. Would definitely go again. Thank you Mumbai Masala for a beautiful meal.
