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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Staying with family in Havelock North, Star of India was already a favourite and I am more than happy to have enjoyed no less than 4 takeaway meals in the course of a 4 week stay;-). Generous portions with spice tempered by rich flavours were...ever present and the only sadness is that we are heading home to UK and will have to bide our time until we can visit again. Excellent!!!!!!More

Fantastic food couldn’t fault it but would be nice if restaurant was separated from the takeaway area maybe with screening and some blinds at the window so you don’t get blinded by the car lights when people park at the front

Dan Singh and the team at Star of India catered the lunch and dinner for our wedding at Blackbarn Vineyards. They did an amazing job organising the service and the food was very authentic. We could not recommend them highly enough.

Delicious food with a menu that stretches beyond the New Zealand standards. Not much seating area or ambience, but the quality of the food and the friendly staff more than makes up for it. Great place to grab a takeaway if you don't want to...sit in.More

What a great experience to sit down and have a meal here - brilliant, friendly attentive staff was really what made dinner a delight. Food was fast and great (although a little sweet for our palettes), but this didn’t at all detract from a pleasant...outing. Well done Star of India!!More
