Wow! I was hesitant to eat here due to my low tolerance to spicy food but the rating is high and I couldn’t agree more. The owner very attentive and nice person explained that they don’t use chili, the spices used are not spicy. Instead they give a lot of flavor. I ended up having a wonderful chicken breast (never thought I would combine that adjective to this noun) from the “must try menu” full of flavor and with a great service. I am definitely returning to this restaurant to discover new flavors in other dishes.

Once again Chris and his team provided us with dishes that lived up to expectations. Good things take time and the chosen dishes, along with two specially prepared meals had our visiting diners licking their lips agreeing we had certainly made the right choice of restaurant. Subtle, delicious food, made with passion. We'll be back- again. Thanks Chris.

A truly wonderful experience I would entirely recommend this place to anyone if you would like to try Bangladesh food. I am told it's the only one of its type in New Zealand and that all the recipes are the owner's mother. The food was superb the service great e.g. folding napkins and placing them appropriately on our laps. A very nicely coloured restaurant with a light background music playing with a Bangaledesh flavour. If you looking for a unique night out then I strongly recommend coming to this restaurant. The music is Koto traditional Japanese.

We wanted to try something new and found this Bangladesh restaurant. The menu was very diverse and the waiter helped me with my allergies. The meals were excellent and I especially enjoyed the Gluten free Naan Bread. The flavours were Excellent on every dish. We thought it was a place we would continue to come back especially with a group of people. This is a must try for everyone

This is my nice treat-myself dinner location. The food is simply delicious. Don't expect generic 'indian' food, because this is far more subtle (which is a bonus if you have non-spicy food lovers to cater towards) using what I feel is better ingredients than the standard. Pair that with the excellent service from Christopher (you'll know him from the kindnesses when he greets you) and the other staff, and I feel it is one of the best dining experiences available at a reasonable price. Speaking of pricing, I have seen other reviews mention the food being expensive, not including 'free rice' etc. I think they went in expecting standard Indian food. And again, this certainly isn't. I would consider it better. It's a treat. Something to savour and enjoy, both the food and the service. Treat yourself if you like good food. The included image is of the pork special & delicious Nabanno salad (includes apple, nectarine, capsicum, mushroom..surprisingly nice!)

Fantastic personal service from the owner and maitre' D, Christopher. He shared his story and passion for the best and freshest food inspired by the meals his mother cooked in his home in Bangladesh. The food did not disappoint. The flavours were amazing and unlike anything we have tried. We ate everything, it was so delicious! We will be back and will make sure we leave room for dessert next time. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work Christopher and your superb team.

Heaven and healthy! Went to have dinner with my best friend at around 9pm. There’s only one other group of customer so it almost feels like we’ve rented the place. The manager, Christopher, was so attentive and very welcoming. I immediately liked the place even without the food yet. But, the food, it’s divine! We ordered the today’s special which I can’t remember the names (pork and a chicken menu) but when he recited them, they already sounded delicious. They are freshly prepared so don’t go there if you’re not up to waiting for a good 10-15 minutes. The ambiance is another plus, very posh and neat. On top of that, Christopher even gave us complementary mango lassi which is a star!!! I highly recommend this Bangladesh restaurant.
