"Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing every time. Portions are decent size, make enough for leftovers the next day. Their vegetarian Aloo Gobi is so delicious and filling. All options we’ve had are pure flavour bombs. Great job team, God bless!"

"Tucked away behind Farmlands in Te Puna (next to the liquor store), Red Coal Indian Restaurant is a true hidden gem. I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Vishal and his lovely wife, Rekha. Vishal is a professionally trained chef who specialises in authentic Indian cuisine—and it shows. With over 150 dishes to choose from, the menu is incredible. I highly recommend the lamb saag Wala—rich, flavourful, and beautifully cooked. As someone born in India, I can confidently say this is the real deal. Whether you're after lunch, dinner, or takeaway, Red Coal is my go-to when I’m craving a genuine taste of home."
