steam 100% pure vegetarian indian restaurant

weorderedbaigan bharta and dum aaloo. it was very bad specially baigan bharta. there was no baigan and not tasted close to baigan bharta

it was a great experience. we were bit late. restaurant was closed. seeing us a girl came and opened the door, checked with chef and told us that only take away is available. mentioned that we have to travel to auckland, she again took the pain negotiating with chef and made him agree to serve food. s preeti was so humane. weorderedveg biryanis, kajoo curry, paneer. all served in time. food was excellent particularly kaju curry. overall experience was great and best.

i think this is the best indian restaurant in rotorua. we had a dinner last night and everything was up to the mark. next day morning we had brunch starts with masala tea for me, kesar milk for my wife. weorderedsabudana vada, mysore masala dosa and meduvada. every item weorderedwere tasty, perfectly cooked and satisfactory. i will give 10/10 for brunch and staff. we stopped by rotorua during our trip and this restaurant was a good choice we did.

we went for lunch on sunday, weorderedmaisur masala dosa it’s took more than 30 minuets. then also lentils was not cooked properly in stuffing even not half cooked. we made complaints to manager and he said you guys want early (as we had kids with us) that’s why it’s not cooked properly and he did bad argument with us. overall experience was very bad not recommended ☹️

a very bad expereince overall. they say that they can cater to 180 people at a time but they couldn't even manage 4 tables at a time. we hadordered2 main dishes off which one came roughly about after 30 mins. the other one weorderedwas a sizzler with noodles which came with rice. when we told about the same, the indian waiter took it to the other waiter who took our order and started shouting at him. after a few mins, they gave the same dish to another asian couple and told us that we will get ours in 5 mins which took another 15 mins to come. again the fries on it were too cold and he took it back and started shouting inside the kitchen which was audible to everyone sitting out. they put warm fries and bring it back and it was so so spicy that eating 2-3 spoons you can get mouth burns. the indian guy says that's a spicy sauce and we had strictly asked them to make it mild. he was so unwelcoming and not at all courteous and sent the other waiter to our table to took the order. he was quite courteous and we asked him to cancel that order. the food quality is also very average and not very good in taste too, we would recommend to try other places instead of this one for sure. the indian guy is too egoistic and not welcoming at all. we had quite some hopes which went into veins and spoilt our evening and hunger too!

the order took more than 1 hour on a christmas eve when weorderedfood at 8:54 pm and we did not get the food even after 22:00 so bad the management really need to look into more staff b cause it has a beautiful ambience but there are no staff when the restaurant is full. and when the food came it was cold. normally atleast an apology from the manager but nothing. pathetic restaurant for its ambience.

it is certainly one of the weirdest dining experiences i have ever had. we were on holiday in rotorua and was excited to find this vegetarian restaurant. the food, in general, is good but like other reviews, the service needs to be improved, a lot. iordereda sizzler of pan-fried vegetables and when my boyfriendorderedfor me, he asked for the fried rice instead of the noodles and chips. the waitress did confirm the order with us but she simply just said sizzler veges with no further specification. when it was served, what i got was the noodles and chips hence we asked about it. surprisingly, the waitress came back to us with the plate and sort of confronting us that we have confirmed the order which she repeated. the conversations seemed to go into a loop so in order to save her some troubles, i agreed to take the dish but she didn't seem to appreciate it, which was fine haha. weordereda beer and a whiskey. the reason why it took 20 minutes to pour some beer and wine is beyond my understanding. we had some good laughs about the experience and the food was actually good.

the only fine dine indian vegetarian restaurant in rotorua, new zealand. it was the feeling of finding cold spring in the middle of hot desert. located in accessible location, ample parking space. have a look at the opening hours before dropping in, it will vary, or call them up, that helps. 

some good quality food specially if you want to try some authentic indian. perfect ambiance for a relaxed fine dine after all your adventure activities around rotorua. service is very late, it almost feels like someone is looking at the recopies and trying to prepareordereditems right from scratch, in short very late service, be ready for that. we felt food is costly, but to get indian vegetarian in middle of nowhere has it's price. they couldn't control the heating system, so if you are dropping in there in winter, be ready to turn yourself a whitewalker. just because youorderedearly than others, do not expect your food will arrive. in our case, a coupleorderedafter us, ate stuff and left and we were still waiting for our food. 

the best part here was it's fine dining, i'm from melbourne, i have not seen such a big restaurant here which server pure vegetarian food. the manchurians weorderedweren't great. it was a gravy and did not taste good. we specifically asked dry but gravy was the best they could do. portions are very very less. they used celery for all the stuff, who does that? i'd have dropped to a salad bad if i wanted to eat healthy, i wanted to eat tasty.
