We went to this restaurant on our stay in Taupo after reading the reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the staff attentive and ambience friendly. Dal makhni was very authentic and Shahi paneer was delicious. The naans were soft but just had too much butter on them. Over all great Place to eat if u are... More

When staying in Taupo we had the pleasure of lunching at this lovely Indian restaurant.We were seated beside a window with a view of the lake .The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was the best Chicken Massala I have eaten. We would certainly return there should we be back in Taupo

We ate here whilst attending a conference in Taupo during April. We hadn't booked and he place was really busy with the staff run off their feet. We were seated on a comfortable couch while they prepared a table for us. We didn't wait long at all. Our waiter appeared once before we had made up our minds-even though they... More

After travelling in a campervan for almost a month self catering, a birthday meal out for my boyfriend at Indian Affair was well received. The staff took a while to take our order, however when the food arrived it was delicious and plenty of it. The staff were also really friendly. When the waiter ID'd my boyfriend and realised it...

The reason for the title of my review is that we have found in NZ there is a vast shortage on decent Indian Restuarants. We went there for Valentines night and debated about trying it as we didn't want to be disappointed. We were lucky to get a seat as it was very busy and were glad we did although... More

I was staying in a hotel in Taupo for 3 nights for business. Indian Affair appealed to me as the hotel had their menus in the lobby, and the menu stated "free delivery to your hotel" and gave a website to order on. So I gave it a go. Night one: Chicken Tikka, Vege Pakora, Cheese Naan and rice. After... More

Our family enjoys the Indian food here, it is so tasty and plenty of it. Harry and his staff are so friendly and funny and the service is superb. We go there any time we are in Taupo.. Harry and the staff always recognise us each time.

I am writing because I wanted to recommend this restaurant, it is so consistent with its beautiful food and the staff are amazing. One of the owners Harry is a real star he looks after everyone and makes all his customers feel like welcome family. I promise you will be happy with me for recommending you try it!

5 adults staying in the centre of town with so much choice, we all agreed on having an Indian takeaway. Indian affair had been recommended and was a perfect choice. They adapted the dishes on the menu to suit everyone's needs with no problem whatsoever. Food arrived within 45 minutes and tasted fabulous. This is the place to eat if... More
