Order Food in hillcrest

Stopped in for dinner while in Hamilton recently. Ordered the vegetable curry on rice. Nicely cooked with fresh veges but the 'curry' wasn't what I was expecting. I've encountered this before and it's more of a pale yellow liquid with a bit of heat but without the *real* yellow curry taste and aroma. Other than this the dish was ok and the service was good.

As much as we love bal ganga, one thing this place lacks is consistency. We ordered momos (delicious btw) two times in 2 weeks. First time when the owner was there, the order was good. The second time we went, the order wasn’t complete. Momos were carelessly thrown in the container, there was no sauce with it or the special powder/masala was missing.

Best dosa and best south indian biryani. We ordered mysore plain dosa and veg biryani… we have been to many indian restaurants in new zealand in last 25 days and this was the best we got. The person there was so humble, interactive , innocent and we could feel the happy vibe. Chef was polite and attentive too. They also have buffet on weekend where they serve 22 items at $21 per person with unlimited dosa. I wish we could go on weekend too.

My partner recommended this restaurant for its dry noodles with peanut sauce, so we decided to visit for dinner on Sunday. We ordered the dry noodles with peanut sauce and dumplings (dandan noodles), kkwobarou, and shrimp fried rice. The noodles were delicious as expected! The peanut sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. We loved it. The fried rice was quite good and generously portioned. Lastly, the kkwobarou, fried with a layer of glutinous rice, was incredibly tasty and sweet. I really enjoyed it! Overall, we had a great dinner here and this place is highly recommended.

Ordered wonton noodle soup for $12 at midday. No other customer. Service was quick but the soup didn't have garnish or vegetables. But the soup was great

Kiwi style Chinese fried rice right here - IYKYK. - Steak fried rice 10/10 Perfect rice, balance of peas, bean sprouts, egg, and steak.
