Sages Indian - Auckland

Reflecting on my experiences over the years, I can confidently say that dining here has become a highlight of my week. The food is consistently filling, rich, and fantastic—just a few words to describe the incredible meals I’ve savored during my time here. At this point, it has become a staple in my diet, something I look forward to regularly.

The staff are wonderful and provide excellent customer service. The food is definitely worth the price. They often worry about the food arriving late, but they genuinely care about everything. I’ll definitely be coming back often.

We've dined here several times, and each visit has been outstanding. The taste, quality, and portion sizes are all excellent. The lamb biryani, garlic naan, mango lassi, and butter chicken (with a wonderful aroma of tomatoes) are some of the best dishes I've had. And I can't forget the gulab jamun—it completely spoiled every other gulab jamun for me! Since trying it, nothing else has compared. While it may not be the cheapest option, it's certainly worth every penny. I'm eager to explore more of the menu!

Even I had to wait longer than Worth was suggested. The food was delicious. Very well done and well served... has not lost the taste even at level 3. recommend You

Sages Restaurant review Up until recently my only experience with Indian cuisine had come from shopping malls and the odd take out. That all changed when a friend invited me to review Sages in Point Chevalier. Food The Mango Chicken I ordered was one of the best meals that I have had for a while. The meat was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spices that helped to enhance the dish, without overpowering it. Everything I ate just seemed to come to life, from the moist and tender chicken, to the crispiness of the garlic Naan Bread. Part of that is down to the work of co-owner and chef Kamal Jhajj, who insists on using only the best ingredients in the dishes he creates, to the point where he’ll close the kitchen if he doesn’t have access to the freshest foods available. Setup The restaurant itself is deceptively nondescript, from the outside but becomes warm and inviting once I stepped through the front door. The low lighting and dark red wallpaper really gives Sage’s a romantic vibe that I liked a lot. The staff were friendly and efficient, with Kamal regularly coming out to see how we were, although I suspect it may have been because it was a slow Wednesday night. Conclusion As a reviewer I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to give restaurants a perfect 10, but Sage’s really nails it with its friendly service, delicious offerings, and romantic ambiance. 10/10
