Swagat India / Spice and Flame reviews
38I absolutely love this place. The food is spectacular and the staff are friendly. I consider the price is very fair as well. Highly recommended!
Excellent value, and delicious food, my personal favorite local. Highly recommend the Ribs and pulled pork burger.
I personally can't speak on behalf of the customer service as someone else went in to collect, however they did say they were left unattended to for quite some time even though 2 staff had already witnessed him walk in. The chicken tikka's sauce had separated into oily milk curds. Veggie Korma was sauce with peas and corn in it and both sauces looked and tasted like they were from a jar. Burger pattie was a frozen mush, still cold on the inside. The loaded waffle fries have a nice flavour, however its just chips with cheese and sauce. Garlic naan was nice though.
Good food service could be better and the room needs something more done to it. Maybe some shutters to break room up so it's not like a classroom
Very bland and watery Chicken Tikka Masala. Garlic and cheese naan didn't have much flavour and had next to no cheese. Restaurant is cold and uninviting.
My son had burger and wedges which looked great. Chicken saagwala, paneer saagwala and chicken tikka masala meals were bland and watery. Naan bread doughy and lacking flavour. Disappointed.
Butter chicken is still really good (and comes with rice), one of the best around. The new herb chicken burger was really good too.
Really tasty food as always, with plenty of fresh veggies.
We had lamb jalfrezi, veg biryani, lamb kebabs & onion baghi.
Baghi was very salty would be the only constructive feedback
Delicious food.nice taste of Indian curry with good portion nice bread.
Overall good to try. Like the food.
But restaurant need some uplift or some kind of renovation to attract more customer. To dine in.
For take way always good.
Lovely food. Really nice owners and chef. Cant wait to return. Great to have somewhere so close.
This hidden gem in the heart of Maungaraki is a real asset to this beautiful suburb. My wife and kids love the range of sensational curries, which we never fail to top up with garlic cheese naans and a side of samosas. Five stars+!
Fantastic meal as usual. We eat here for most celebrations in the family and we have never had a bad thing to say. The staff are so friendly and kind. They are so happy to serve. Food is absolutely devine and just so flavourful. Highly highly recommend.
Recently moved to the area and gave this place a go (we were a group of 8). Premises were clean. Ordered a selection of meat and vegetarian dishes. Loved the complimentary pappadoms. Service was quick and friendly. Food was very tasty and generous portions. Think heat ratings are a little hotter than kiwi (kids couldn't eat a medium Butter Chicken) but overall love that we have this option locally. Will be back to try more of the menu!
Our family love coming here, the meals are of a high quality, we get the Chicken Tika Masala and the capsicum is always fresh and crunchy, the Cheese Garlic Naan are highly recommended as well as the fresh made popadoms.
Friendly genuine customer service, affordable prices and BYO located in the most friendly family community area.
Thanks Swagat Team we really appreciate your efforts.
Place extremely run down. Very grotty, Carpet was so dirty and sticky that when you walk on it your shoes stick to it. Placed a phone order was told 1/2 hour. Turned up then and was told it would be another 30 mins. Food very average. Roti undercooked and had a piece of raw chicken. Very disappointed! Will vote with our feet!
Love our local Indian take away. Fabulous food, reasonably priced and lovely staff. Could do with a bit of redecoration, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the delicious food
I ordered tandoori chicken, its worst tandoori chicken I ever eat, tasteless, don't go again even on gunpoint.
Some of the best Indian in town. The owners even opened their doors especially for my family to enjoy a special occasion. Highly recommended!
The food was nice and reasonably priced, and the staff were so lovely! If you're looking for a little bit of spice, I would recommend kiwi hot not medium. I ordered a medium but it tasted mild
Loved it! Fantastic food at affordable prices. We booked via first table but I'd than happily pay full for this fine cuisine.
