Satya South Indian Restaurant Mount Eden

Wonderful experience coming here, the staff are friendly, humble and very helpful, and the food is divine. The restaurant was authentic and had a wonderful atmosphere. They import pressed leaf disposable plates which are amazing and support the natural recycling process which impressed me considerably. Tried the Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh and Chick Pea curry with Naan bread and rice, and the food was lovely. This family run business, over 3 different locations offers free Lunch and Dinner on Christmas Day to say thank you to everyone, and have done as an ongoing tradition!!

After seeing mixed reviews we weren't sure this visit was going to be good, but it was actually really good. The service was friendly (and we got given extra poppadoms and puri for free so that all 4 of us could get the same amount - a nice thought). 3 of us had dosa which were really good, and the youngest had butter chicken, which was also noticibly better than the norm. Great dipping sauces and chutneys. Would go back, nice!

Great service, lovely food presentation and beautiful flavours. Prices were fair and the dishes came out fresh, hot, and tasty. No frills, no BS, and no issues whatsoever. They were friendly and let us chat for over an hour after our dinner was finished without being disturbed. Definitely a nice find, and would make this my regular spot if I lived here.

Satya consistently serves up the best Indian food in Auckland in my opinion. Great selection on the menu, including lots of vegetarian, i.e. its authentic. Additionally I am lactose intolerant and the chef and manager went out of their way to ensure I was well looked after, even though the group choose a banquet option. Far better in this regard than Oh Calcutta, which is the most expensive Indian food in Auckland. The decor is not flashy but they've made an effort with bright colours, tables a little cramped. If you are a real fan of Indian food this place is highly recommended.
