★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I see a lot of "Friendly Service" reviews. This contrasts my experience quite strongly! I went in early one evening, 5.30ish, to dine in on my own, wasn't greeted with a smile and barely a polite "welcome". The constant impression was that I wasn't wanted. Service was rushed, and when I asked for a "whiskey" the owner(?)/waiter couldn't understand, so I repeated it 3 times; he asked how I would like it, I said "straight", this seemed a shock, and then it was delivered in a cordial drinking glass - not a tumbler in sight. Disappointing.
The entrée came quickly, so I had not much time to settle and relax into my whiskey from the cordial glass, or a spot of writing; and within a minute, before I was a quarter of the way through my entrée, the main course arrived. I wasn't particularly happy about this, as I didn't get the chance to finish the entrée and reflect on it as its own meal without my curry going cold, but the host didn't seem to care. He did smile though after placing the meal, and he also smiled after I paid the bill, so there's that I guess.
The meals weren't the best Indian I've tasted, neither the worse - probably better than Tandoori down the opposite end of Gladstone Road who put way too much spice into a medium curry which ends up burning your mouth out and leaving you unable to taste the meal. Friends medium spice has a strong bite, but the curry flavours can still be tasted. Good meals!
I've been here twice over about 2-3 years, and this experience has been the same. It's very odd that other visitors get the "friend" treatment, and I just "another customer" treatment. Not at any time during my most recent visitor did I see a smile from any of the other staff - it just looked like no one was enjoying themselves, and I mean no disrespect if everyone was having a bad day, but friendly customer service is vital. I want to be greeted and welcomed, not necessarily with a smile, just with a feeling of wanting to be served, whether I'm alone or with company.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Friends is our favourite Indian takeaway. Food is always good, prices are reasonable, and deliveries always on time with a super friendly delivery driver. Can't believe more people don't buy from Friends!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Friends is our go-to for Indian takeaway in Gisborne. The food is excellent and the service is always great. Deliveries are always so fast and with a smile. Our last order an item wasn’t delivered, we hadn’t even noticed nor were we bothered when we found out, but they came back with the item and some extras ☺️
