Best Indian Restaurant in NZ I’m from Bradford, the curry capital of the UK, and I can confidently say Great Spice in Tauranga serves some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The flavors are consistently amazing—dare I say, even a little better than what I’ve had in the UK! If you’re a true curry lover, I highly recommend trying this place. You won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely Fantastic! Great Spice Tauranga is hands down the best Indian restaurant in town! The food is authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—definitely some of the finest Indian cuisine in New Zealand. Their premium selection of dishes is impressive, and every bite is a delight.

Let me break it down—good Indian food is hard to find, but this place nailed it. The flavors were deep and well-balanced, nothing felt overpowering. The chicken tikka had this perfect charred taste, and the curries were thick and rich. The garlic naan was soft, fresh, and had just the right amount of crisp. If you're in the mood for authentic flavors, trust me, you 'll love it here.

Had a really enjoyable dinner here. The food was flavorful and freshy prepared, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. However, I do wish they had more dessert options on the menu. I'm a big fan of Indian sweets, and while what they had was tasty, the selection was a bit limited. Overall, still a great experience!
