Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

While the décor is not as "Indian" as some Indian restaurants that counts for little. The food was universally delightful. Authentic? I am not Indian and so I am not qualified to judge but it was totally to our tastes. The dishes were served hot and in a very timely fashion. The owner's daughter served us. She was very helpful and friendly - a delight to interact with. Her father was also very obliging and made very useful suggestions. He delivered separately some "Indian hot sauce". I really enjoyed that I think I will ask or that next time. They also readily gave us the left overs to take home. The BYO wine charge was not excessive a $5.

It’s cold, I’m on July holiday break. The ‘ Star ‘ was opened for lunch. I got two medium curries that were accurately spiced medium, rice and the best puffy parata style roti I’ve had in years. It was just like one you would have in India. Good on you Star of India for pleasant and fast Lunchtime service.

This is my 13 yr olds favourite place for butter chicken (mild). I always go for aloo gobi. I recommend what they call Indian Hot - it's perfect hot. I've tried to reproduce it at home but I fail on the spice mix. Coriander. I suspect chef varies it to mess with me. They do offer lunchtime specials. There's another one in Hastings. Nice work, Star of India.

Popped by and it was busy. Greeted warmly and shown to a table. Good selection of drinks and food on offer. Despite being busy we were served quickly. Service was friendly and efficient. We opted for the prawn makhani and the chicken jalfrezi. The food was cooked well and there was plenty. The prawns were super juicy. Generous portion of rice and delicious garlic naan. Not the best I have ever had but we left feeling satisfied. Would be happy to return.

This has been our go to Indian Restaurant for some time and it’s always been consistently great. Last night was no exception, but would like to comment on the friendly and helpful service, a factor almost as important as the food quality.

Good atmosphere, Great food and the greatest service in Taradale. Our family came here for the butter chicken but stayed for the staff.

Just had chicken Korma takeaway.....it cost around $17 and the amount of chicken....even some of that was scrappy rubbish...was pathetic! It was like an entree size....I wish I had taken a photo now or taken it back! You need to up your game and stop ripping customers off.

Thank you for your review. Our sizes for the full portion is similar to many indian restaurants in the bay. Some restaurants sell the exact same size for over 20 dollars. We would recommend you call in on the day to express your views so we can actually do something about it. This does seem a bit odd how you don’t seem to have a photo or didn't even try to bring the dish back. We have always received great feedback on our prices and the quantity we offer so we don’t believe we rip our customers off. Thank you anyways for your feedback.

Called in for dinner after another afternoon out. Last here a few months back and enjoyed our meal then - once again very happy. Service was very good and we got a smile from our waitress. The food came in good time and was uniformly excellent. Lot of people in and out for take out but it was nice and quiet. Place was clean and tidy. Tried the Lamb Hawardi? which was really nice - had medium but it had a bit of a bite which is the way I prefer it. The others had different dishes and all considered them great. We don't come to Taradale very often but will certainly return should the need arise again

Looking for a quick meal after an afternoon out. Called in without any reservation and were shown to a table with no fuss (they were expecting a large group later but no problem), Our orders were taken and the food came out in short order - delicious (the others all had mild - I chose medium heat - good choice but I wouldn't want to go any hotter!), Three of us had various Kormas and one had butter chicken - all were good. Recommend - food good, service good
