The Butter Chicken had a bone it which... More

we ordered the Starters and mains at the same time and asked to bring the starters first with drinks and mains later. But they have placed the order for mains only after serving the starters. That took more than 20 minutes to bring the mains. The service a bit slow, but food tastes really good and authentic Indian style.

While Tandoori Palace is not the highest rated Indian restaurant in Rotorua, according to Trip Advisor, we found it to be quite good and reasonably priced. There is very little difference in the ratings of the top three Indian restaurants each receive on average four-and-a-half stars. The service here, however, left a little to be desired; even though it was... More

My wife and I went on a 2 week holiday to New Zealand, and when in Rotorua, we had dinner at this place. The food was good, and just the correct level of spiciness. The staff were helpful and attentive too.

We hadn't planned on going here for dinner but glad we did. The food was delicious with a couple of dishes we hadn't tried before including the Tawa chicken. Generous servings as well, enough to take some home.

Lovely food and personalized service. Great selection of curry dished and Indian favorites. Watch for the opening hours as they turned down quite a few people off hours (restaurant closes after 2:00 PM and turned down people even if we were still in it??)

Walking in off the street and being given a table for two right next to the open door with the beautiful summer breezes coming through was good enough but soon surpassed by the food and service. Starting with the palace platter, a large variety of Indian sweet eats and vegetable entrees, we sipped our kingfishers and watched Rotorua walk by... More
