"This is the newest location of Novelty chain of Indian Vegetarian Restaurants specialising in Punjabi cuisine, in Auckland. The location is easily accessible by road and few dedicated parking spaces are available, along with on street parking nearby. We had dinner here and the food was tasty, freshly prepared and well presented. The service was quick and efficient too. The staff are friendly and know their offerings well. Ample seating is available inside and outside too. On weekends there are street style Jalebi and Chaat stalls operating here, offering a typical Indian Street food experience. Indian sweets and eggless bakery products are also available here. Overall highly recommended."

"Ended up here as I was craving for some hot jalebis. The jalebis were good. So was the boondi laddus. Hot kaala jamoon was tasty as well. The sev Puri was a let down. The person making the jalebis was a friendly chap....but the lady at the counter definitely needs some training in customer handling skills."
