From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated. We had such a wonderful experience at Mumbai Masala - our waiter was so friendly and the food was exceptional the flavours were amazing- they didn’t holdback on the spice. Our two young daughters had the best experience and enjoyed the butter chicken and enjoyed tasting different flavours. The Goat Pasanda curry was so tender, beef masala delish, chilli chicken was my fave yummy! Definitely will opt for sizzle plate next time, chicken tikka was delish too. Keep up the awesome work team! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

This restaurant in Papamoa is amazing. Delicious hot food great service. The restaurant had forgotten to pack our naan bread in our order and we only realised they’d forgotten it after we arrived home. We called the place to say they’d forgotten it and they dropped it to our home with a free can of coke! Amazing!

Always delicious food, and seriously next level service. If you're nearby highly reccomend. The Spicy is very good. Not ouchie bunny ridiculous hurt, but a flavourful good delicious curry.

Mumbai Masala Papamoa has quickly become one of my all-time favourite local spots. Every meal here is a flavour explosion — rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the chefs take real pride in their craft; every curry is layered with depth, and the naan is soft, warm, and cooked to perfection.
The service is just as impressive — friendly, genuine, and attentive without being overbearing. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeaway, they make you feel genuinely valued.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the portions are generous, and the consistency is remarkable — every visit is a 10/10 experience.
If you love Indian cuisine (or even if you think you don’t yet), this place will convert you. Easily the best Indian food in the Bay, and honestly, one of the best meals you’ll find anywhere.
Highly recommend the butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, and garlic naan — but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
