Cassia @ Skycity

Our time at Cassia was truly the best dining experience we’ve ever had. From the minute you step into the beautiful premises on Federal Street, you are greeted with friendly staff and incredible smells. The service is phenomenal from start to finish. Now the food, oh the food, it is an absolute knock out. I highly suggest the journey through India option letting the chef choose dishes for a four course meal. We loved that every dish had warmth and spice without burning. A wonderful surprise was the mushroom, green chilli, and truffle dish, and you’ve got to try their classic roasted carrot, vindaloo dish. My mum who has coeliac disease was fed without any problem whatsoever and really only missed out on the naan. Finally, the cocktails are outstanding. I’d highly recommend the Amore speziato. 10/10 experience 🩷

Everything A+++++ we indians have experienced all sorts of food outside, from street to 5/7 starts Restaurants. CASSIA is one of the 5/7 stars restaurants. I could proudly say that finally, we have had the Master Chefs level dishes in auckland. Perfect spice levels. I like their set manu system. This is the confidence of the Chef. Whatever they will cook is going to b 100/100.. you wouldn't go wrong, and they ll not give you a chance to complain. Very professional staff.

Recommendations brought us here, and we were not disappointed. Bookings need to be done weeks in advance for weekend dining, so if you have a special occasion coming up, plan ahead. We were seated in one of the booths - perfect size for 2 or 3 people. Nice too that you can experience the ambience, but also have a conversation without filtering other voices. We had Journey through India set menu. Beautifully balanced tastes on each dish. And finishing touches on desserts were wonderful. Staff friendly and attentive without a hint of being intrusive. Great experience.

We did the journey through India tasting menu and it was amazing! We particularly enjoyed the pani puri, vindaloo carrots and the chicken labrardar curry. Decent sized portions meant we walked away very satisfied. The service was excellent too. It’s a good thing we don’t live in Auckland or we would be here all the time.

Third time I have been here and first time review. The menu is pretty good and the service is fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. The food was all good and enjoyable. The tandoori and the roti were exceptional dishes that I would definitely go back for again!! Great traditional Indian flavours in a modern take.

One of the best restaurants in Auckland, highly recommended. It was the second time I went there, and had the same amazing experience. We ordered the August Restaurant month set menu, plus a few extra dishes from the A La Carte menu. Top notch food, presentation and service, everything was very consistent. The cocktail was amazing. The only minor criticism I have is on the blood orange sorbet dessert, I felt it didn’t need the extra crunchy element of the ‘honeycomb’. I’d prefer to have a softer texture like a sponge cake instead. Overall it was an exceptional dining experience, great value and every bite was remarkable.
