Me and my wife had been to this place in December 2011. We had been to some other Indian restaurant just across the street from Elaichi on the previous day and felt it was ok. We came here with least expectations as we did not hope for a good quality Indian food in new zealand!! But Elaichi far exceeded our... More

My wife and I had been here for dinner (after our attempt to go for lunch in time failed). In isolation this restaurant has the standard menu you would find in any Indian restaurant. Food was also decent. Service was good. However one of the main reasons we went to this place was to have Vada Pav (a traditional maharastrian... More

Disclaimer: I am of Indian heritage so a little biased when looking for authentic Indian. The ambiance and service here are wonderful. The selection is the usual Indian restaurant fare served in traditional bowls. We had some Pakoras, Chicken Tikka Masala, Palak Kofta, and Naan.

This gem of a restaurant is tucked away on a back street, but I can not recommend it enough. I always east at Indian restaurants - and have tried many throughout NZ and Australia and so far this place wins. The fist time we went for lunch and had the Lamb Midras and the Palak Kofta. Lamb midras is usually... More

We have dined at Elaichi twice now and on both occasions the meal has been very good. All the usual dishes are competently prepared and there are some... More
