5 out of 5
Just finished our meal here. We were unsure whether to eat here or not, because of the negative write off from 2 weeks ago. However we decided to give it a go. Best choice today. Fantastic hot tasting food, spice level exactly as ordered. Service excellent, attentive, polite and very helpful. We would be very happy to eat here again. Highly recommend. ***** 5 Stars!!

We visited Lovely India in Rotorua while traveling from Auckland with my wife and kids, and we’re really glad we found this place. We ordered the mixed platter, lamb biryani, and finished with mango kulfi for dessert. Everything had a fabulous taste and felt very authentically Indian. The service was very friendly, and the staff were really helpful in recommending dishes for us. Overall, a great experience — easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Rotorua.

We were visiting Rotorua and looking for Indian food on Christmas Day, when most places were closed. When we entered Lovely India, it was extremely busy, but to our surprise we were welcomed very warmly by a friendly young staff member who explained there would be a short wait, which was completely fine as the restaurant was full. To our surprise, the food arrived within 10–15 minutes. We ordered a mixed platter and chicken curry, and both were absolutely delicious. The chicken was high quality, well-marinated, and full of flavor. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had, from the friendly staff to the excellent food at this Indian restaurant in Rotorua. My wife and I will definitely return and highly recommend it.
