Koi - Spice Craft & Whisky

Food at Koi was really delicious and very flavourful. Service was great. One of our favourite places to dine in New Plymouth for sure.

We had raved about Koi to our Garden Festival visitor and it did not fail to live up to our recommendation. The atmosphere was lovely as we sat in the front area with the bi-fold windows open to the gorgeous early evening sunshine and buzz of the street. The food, from the dumpling starters to the best biriyani with accommpanying curries, was absolutely delicious. Our guest was so impressed and, along with us, scraped the dishes clean. Thank you so much Koi. Such friendly and expert service. J & J

There are a few meals not available on First Table however there's plenty of choice, so not a problem what-so-ever. Great to have an early seating option, especially if you want to catch up with others before the busy meal time really sets in.
Comfortable and enjoyable restaurant to dine in. First time at Koi - won't be our last.

Amazing menu and flavours. Would definitely recommend the curries.

Service was amazing food was perfect will be back

Love this place! Food and service was excellent. We take our kids and they love it too!

A great experience at Koi. Best curry in town and Roti was light and tasty. Will definitely be back.

Very friendly staff, food was delicious. We like spicy food & asked for hot, but would go medium next time.

The food and service was excellent. A very enjoyable meal.

Awesome dinner as always.

Excellent, as always! Koi is consistently first class in all respects.

The food, wine and service was impeccable. Koi never disappoints, I'm already looking forward to returning again, probably the best Indian flavours I've ever experienced.

The food tasted amazing and the staff are so helpful polite and kind. It was a very good all round dining experience!

Lovely welcoming by the owner who made us feel at home straight away. He talked to my Dad about the whiskeys etc that they sell, which he loved. The food was delicious. We were there for First Table, but we were not made to feel like we have to rush once we had eaten. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Excellent attentive service and delicious food, best curries in New Plymouth

Amazing food and service.

Great food! Beautiful ambiance with friendly service. Will return.

Absolutely beautiful tasty butter chicken and garlic n cheese naan bread. Service is friendly and great. Have tryed most if nt all the places in N.P tht have butter chicken and in my opinion this is the best.

Always a lovely meal, super staff. Very obliging. Recommend Koi totally.

Beautiful food and the service was great. We will be back.

We all loved the food and service even my almost two year old. Staff is very friendly and super helpful. Will definitely be going here again and recommend to anyone. Food is so delicious!

Wonderful food and service, will definitely be back. :)

Absolutely first class as usual! All 4 of our group loved our dinner & the overall dining experience at Koi last evening, wonderful service & sublime food. Thank you so much & we look forward to returning! :-)

Our first experience through First table at the Koi did not disappoint. We arrived 15 minutes early, despite this we were still seated and given time to relax before ordering a pre-dinner drink.

We both chose from the specialty menu a Scottish whiskey and an Indian gin, which were superb and set the scene for our evening.

We chose entrees of mixed pappadums and chicken trio with dips washed down with a Marlborough bottle of Sauvignon which complimented our dinner beautifully.

For mains we enjoyed medium spiced Lamb shank cooked to perfection, and dipped our cheese and garlic naan into the sauce with its plump mushrooms and cauliflower. The Butter chicken with its creamy sweet sauce and accompanying rice was the best my husband has ever eaten, "his words". Unfortunately we left no room for dessert on this occasion but it was tempting.

The gorgeous authentic decor at the Koi really does set an exotic scene. Arriving early meant we got to enjoy our surroundings with minimal other guests present which we really appreciated.

The service at the Koi was exceptional with just the right amount of timing between courses, genuinely warm, without being imposing. Although we were invited to sit back and relax if we wanted to make space for dessert, we chose not to on this occasion.

Thank you Koi we highly recommend eating at this venue and will be back in the very near future.

The flavours at Koi are yummy. However, entree size is tiny! Was a bit worried about the mains but there is definitely enough for one main per person. Next time I’ll skip the entree and stick with the main. My favourite was the beef rendang and the biryani. Yum!!

Always enjoy going to koi. Tasty food and riendly service. See you again.

Oh my goodness.... beautiful food!!! Cant fault a single thing!! We will definitely be back.

Amazing everything!! Staff, food and atmosphere were all outstanding. Will def be nack

excellent as usual

Flavours

Lovely environment, good service and tasty food - especially the starters!

Had a good meal here, it is not the most extensive menu for choice. What we had, starter and mains, was well presented and very tasty, service was excellent, which you would expect for the early time. Will be back to try some of the other delicious sounding fare, thank you.

Very nice dinner, our waiting staff were very attentive and polite. Would like to give it another crack

Lovely food atmosphere and staff. Probably a shame some things aren't on the menu for first table but a great meal none the less. Thanks

Absolutely delicious!!!!!!

First class

Another fantastic evening and introduced more friends to First Table :) The service and food at Koi is always so enjoyable and the atmosphere extremely pleasant. Thanks everyone for a lovely evening.

Such a beautiful atmosphere and wonderful prompt service. The food was delicious and very tasty. Our children enjoyed the lamb shanks which was not too spicy for them. I enjoyed the masala chicken very flavourful with good sized chicken and amount and my husband enjoyed the chicken Byriani in the clay pot which gave a tasty unique flavour. Amazing experience would definitely recommend.

Relaxing atmosphere, funky music, amazing service and most of all excellent food! The Hawker's Hunt and Trio Clay Chicken are highly recommended!

Friendly, attentive staff and beautiful food. We look forward to eating there again

Had a lovely time! Food was AMAZING. Can’t wait to go again

Fantastic food, lovely staff with great service.
Beautiful restaurant. Couldn’t fault it.
We will definitely be back. Our favourite restaurant now.

We had an excellent evening. Good sized servings of delicious food and friendly, and professional service. Lots of choices on the menu.

Great vibe and great food made for a pleasurable dining experience

Amazing food and service again here :)

Fantastic meal, best claypot chicken biryani I have had in a long time, as good as the Imperial Hotel Delhi, which is a high standard to match.

Excellent

Food was beautifully presented and flavours were amazing. We took our two kids along and they shared a butter chicken and naan. An amazing range of various whisky's on the menu if you are a whiskey lover! Lovely decor inside and we will definitely be trying this restaurant again.

Lovely food, very attentive service. great place for pre show dining.

really good value and friendly helpful service
