Mr India Restaurant Northcote - Hillcrest

Best food and best service. This has been my go to Indian place for a long time now and they never disappoint. The food always amazes us & we love ordering from here for our big family occasions and celebrations. Thank you Mr. India restaurant.

Tried this place for the first and last time as they got my order wrong really disappointed. I wanted malai Methi mutter and they gave me paneer mutter. The staff also got my name wrong and did apologies for it before I left for my take away. So if you get my name wrong I am sure you got my order also incorrect.

We decided tonight is Indian.. !! ?? I went to order from our go to restaurant and they weren't open, so we thought we'd give this particular Mr India a go. They have an extensive menu to suit any palate and Indian food craving you may have. They have a beautiful premises and inside is a cosy, darkly coloured, spacious, variety of seating from family, to a romantic date night for 2, type of restaurant. The service is excellent, polite and professional. The order time is very quick, from ordering your food, to it arriving steaming hot at our table. When ordering for takeaway the girl that usually answers the phone is very friendly, efficient and gets the order correct which is so good to know, that your phone order will actually be what you asked for... Parking is relatively easy to find. Restaurant has accessible entrance and insides, for disabled folk who feel like Indian too ?? We ordered starters mainly and just 1 curry. The poppadoms are crispy and flavoured with fenugreek as expected. Crispy goodness to dip in the various dips we bought, 1 note about dips, the poppadoms at other Indian restaurants always give 1 or 2 dips or chutneys to go with poppadoms Mr India don't give any complimentary dips, chutneys etc you have to just go through the options and order. The lamb chops were heavenly seasoned for us, as we can't stand spicy food due to stomach issues. I'm sure if a patron asked for NZ hot or Indian hot they would oblige. 1 downside was the lamb was quite chewy as opposed to having a roasted or slow cooked in the tandoor soft and "can cut with a fork" quality. The chicken tikka tandoori were absolutely beautiful, large, well flavoured could cut with my fork. The Samosas are HUGE!! They obviously overcooked our ones however, as the outer crust used to seal everything in, was rock hard, break a tooth material. Inside was nicely spiced, not too many at all, so if you like heavy, rich and spicy what we ordered isn't for you.. We finished off all the starters, barely able to stuff anymore food into ourselves but the butter chicken smelt divine!! It was perfectly balanced with not too much cream to it like other butter chickens around. A rich, more tomato flavours, than heavy cream, buttery sauce that is excellent when used as a dip with our butter naan. Will definitely be coming back for more, as it's a new fave!!

If you’re a butter chicken lover who’s very cautious when trying new restaurants for the fear of disappointment, Mr India is the right place for you! Honestly. I’ve been back so many times and freaken love this place (not just butter chicken). Thanks guys!

Probably one of the best Indian takeaways I've had. The butter chicken has that nice addictive sauce that gets people hooked in the first place. The new standard is this place.

I ordered malai chicken tikka and tandori lamb chops. I am so surprised malai chicken tikka is soooooo delicious!! Chicken is very tender and juicy. Tandori lamb chops is amazing too. Definitely will come here again. Update: Made my second order from Mr. India and food is delicious as before. Ordered Lamb Dry, Keema naan and Garden Fresh Green Salad. Just a little surprised there is no dressing in the green salad. It'd be great if there is dressing in the salad.

On a quiet Sunday afternoon, I was able to have their spicy Madras Lamb paired with a generous serving of garlic naan bread. Their Butter Chicken and Korma Lamb were also very nice. The food was great, but unfortunately the atmosphere was subpar. There was no music and the kitchen was loud with chatter which could be heard from the dining area. Otherwise the food was delicious and vaccine passes were correctly verified upon entry.

Beautiful spicy butter chicken ~ the garlic cheese nann thick for all the glorious sauce. Thank you for the authentic flavour! Full of love! & Just how I like it! ❤️‍??
