Indian Ocean

Would highly recommend! We very much enjoyed our dinner

Was such amazing meal could not eat all of it

Food up to it's usual standard but I would recommend using mild if you are wanting some heat in your food as we used medium and there was none. We all absolutely loved the Dhanask lamb and no one had eaten that type of curry before - very big recommendation. The naans are huge so perhaps order half per person, and delicious of course. The restaurant was busy and the service very slow and impersonal, which is not what I have experienced in the past and won't stop me going back again! Will always recommend this place!

Lovely friendly staff. Very tasty food. Nice outlook and comfortable seating.
This is the second time going here and we have been most impressed on each occasion. Thumbs up Indian Ocean. 5 stars for indian food and experience. Just great.

Had an enjoyable meal at Indian Ocean. The service was great and the restaurant atmosphere was lovely. I’d definitely return and recommend to others.

An unexpected gem, a fabulous find, they service was great and made me and my young kids feel so welcome :)

All i can say is amazing, food was so good and big portions, best indian ive had in a long time highly recommended

Very enjoyable night with great food

First time at Indian Ocen for our table of four.
Loved the goat curry and our platters were delicious and a great variety to try.
Service was great and staff friendly and helpful

Thank you, we had a very enjoyable meal. We had the prawn entree, delicious! Beautiful Butter chicken, next time we will order hot as medium is very mild, but very tasty. Lovely freshly made naan bread.

The food was very nice.. We would really go again for their Dumplings and Mutton Handi.. Thanks for the recommendation from the restaurant staff.

Was a great night, food was excellent and service was fast. Loved it. Will be back

A fantastic experience- both food and service were 5+ and the bonus was that they totally got my daughter need for strict GF (coeliac) so she could relax and enjoy as well.
Can’t wait to go back

We had a great time . Ambience s really good and food is delicious

Relaxing and enjoyable.

Lovely, friendly greeting on arrival. Prompt attentive service. Comprehensive menu with goat dishes particularly tasty. Generous serves. Reasonable prices. Pleasant comfortable decor. Thanks for a lovely meal.

We had a lovely evening, with friendly helpful staff and delicious food. We highly recommend this place.

We eat Indian food most weeks but this was something even more special as my family fussy and they all loved the food. Only little comment food could have been bit hotter in temperature not flavour so next time we go I would say this
Highly recommend

The food was delicious ! We shared bhajis and dumplings for starters and then had the pasanda, handi and biryani with the gorgeous chill and cheese naan.
The service was good too so definitely a place we would go back to.

The best Indian food we have had anywhere in NZ. Lovely authentic Indian decor and super friendly staff. The curries are light and flavorful with the meat so tender. The mains were light and fluffy. A lovely dinner with two of our sons. We are visitors from the Hawkes Bay. Highly recommend.

Great food. Large portions. Lovely setting. Attentive service. Perhaps the best Indian restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Great stuff!

Just great.

Good food and good service

Never fails to please

Excellent meal. Good selection of mains and starters. Attentive service. Ambient surroundings. Look forward to return visit.

Fantastic meal. We opted for the banquet. Nice to have option of having 3 smaller portions of curries. Lovely starters as well.

Dined here with a friend on Tuesday evening and had a most enjoyable meal and evening out. Could only fit an entrée and main and naan between us. Service was excellent and would recommend this venue to anyone and will go back again.

This was not a standard Indian dinner experience - it was much better!
Tastefully decorated with quiet but audible music, this was a place to linger over the delicious food and a glass of wine. We enjoy Indian food and have it relatively often but this was different and it was definitely the best garlic naan we have had in a long time.
Friendly, prompt service and fantastic flavoured, well cooked food made this ordinary Tuesday evening an extraordinary one :-)
We will definitely return to this quiet restaurant - oh, and that must be the best tap in the toilets!!

Excellent food and service at India ocean

Thoroughly recommend dinning at Indian Ocean.
Great service and outstanding food.

Great food and service, fast, friendly and yummy

We ordered the grilled platter for an entree - the tandoori chicken, lamb kebab and chicken tikka was great however the bhaji seemed to be undercooked on the inside. we then order the chicken biryani (fantastic), butter shrimp extra mild for the kids (great) and palak paneer (very bland and ordered medium hot but had no spice). the nan was great

Great food and service. A little gem in ferrymead

Delicious food with outstanding customer service. We will definitely be returning.

Had a fantastic evening both the service and food was excellent.

Nice food.

We ordered the lamb pasanda, lamb korma and tandoori mushroom. We would have liked The curries a little more spicy as we asked for medium. The starter was tasty though. We were waiting a little while to be served but the food came out quickly!

Really lovely meal. Great service. Small and intimate environment

So I read the amazing reviews everyone else had left and its safe to say its all TRUE!! it was a beautiful tasty, flavour sensation meal, we got the banquet and tasted some of the yummiest dishes we've ever had, the best curries I've ever tasted, the naan was so thick and and fresh, and the deserts were to die for, the level of service was top class, the whole dining experience was like we were in a restaurant in India, I doubt you could get a more authentic Indian experience than this restaurant, my husband is extremely picky and yet this place ticked all the boxes for him, he also said he would of been happy to pay full price! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for your warm hospitality and quick fast service. I can see why this place is a favourite among everyone that has dined there, top class in our books

An enjoyable night out with an authentic setting and very tasty food.

We were lucky to get a 7pm slot on Saturday night.

The entree of Pan grilled prawns with mixed peppercorns and garlic, served with mint chutney was delicious. We shared one dish between us, and both wished we had ordered one each!

Our mains were Butter Chicken and Chicken Chettinaad. The Butter Chicken was awesome, it was delicious.
The Chicken Chettinaad was a bit too spicy for me, I should have requested Mild rather than Medium spice.
It came with peanut rice and the freshest naan bread I've ever tried! It was freshly made, not prepared earlier, and you could taste the difference with the soft fluffiness and crispness. It's worth the visit for the naan, let alone the yummy curries.
If you're unsure whether to make the trip out to Ferrymead, I would recommend highly that you do.

Wonderful food, great service and lovely atmosphere. We will be back! Thanks.

Really impressed!! Gorgeous setting and very prompt, caring service. The food was great too, rich flavourful curries and the naan bread was the best we’ve ever had!! Definitely worth getting the garlic cheese. Now consider this our new local

The food was mind blowing... Really enjoyed. Unfortunately my 7 month old baby girl was not very settled therefore we could not finish our meal however the staff were very generous and friendly and offered to pack our left overs to bring home. I highly recommend this place where no one would ever regrect after their visit.

Great food and service as usual. Out favourite Indian restaurant. we will be back (of course)

Took the family to this great little restaurant last night the food was fantastic the service was excellent we will definitely be going back.

Great atmosphere, good service, friendly warm and inviting and the food is fantastic.

Always love the food and service here - had the lamb shank for the first time and it was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Loved it especially the later booking time, the food was superb as was the service ,would definitely return

Very good Indian food. Awesome Ambience.
Kebab platers are excellent - definitely try them.
Had Biriyani, Goat Handi, Chicken Chettinadu - Everything was so tasty!!

Did not have much hope as we was only look for whatever can be available on first table until 5pm on the day. However the result was amazing, like the menu got something different than other Indian place. Definitely recommend to family and friends. And for sure will revisit again soon.
