"I don't know about anyone here's experience with the other items on the menu but I'm writing a five star while I'm destroying the kiwistyle butter chicken. Hit me right in the childhood. I've been on a hunt for the unicorn butter chicken all over new zealand for yeaaars. And i gotta say, I licked the plastic container clean. the succulent chicken. the sweet saucy goodness. 10 out of butter chicken."

"Ordered a chicken tikka masala only, which was super easy and well priced. Pickup was on time, hassle free and friendly. Still hot when I got it home and the spice level was spot on. Delicious. Thank you."

"Delicious, weekly staple. The best butter chicken in town. Lovely friendly staff, who remember us and our order every time. Atmosphere delivers on what you'de expect from k-road. It's entertaining. Wait time about 10-15min, but can be less during off peak hours. Parking's a hassle, have had many tickets on k-road (but can't blame these guys for that). Honestly better off walking there, or stumbling there after a night out. They have excellent hours, open until very late (/early hours of the morning). If you are after butter chicken specifically, it's the place to go, (FYI- we have not tried many of the other options they serve, almost exclusivley just the butter chicken)."
