I'm British and love Indian food. This is the BEST Indian cuisine I've had here. The friend that took my husband and me goes regularly and hasn't had better. Really friendly service. Decor was simple but warm. Food was so different to the bog standard you see in most Indian restaurants. If you want a butter chicken, you will be disappointed. The food had amazing flavour and texture. We all chose different meals so we could try everything. I will definitely return. The Dahi Puri and Bhel Puri entrees were amazing and very unusual. I chose the Palakura cottage cheese curry, it really complimented the other two's choice of a chicken and fish curry. The cottage cheese was almost like tofu, rather than the cottage cheese you get in a tub.

This was our second visit to Satya's in sandringham and we were disappointed.
We walked into a very cold room at 6pm, it was bitterly cold outside and it was not better inside. The whole idea about dining out is to relax and to enjoy. We sat there with our winter coats and scarfs still on. There was only one small heater on which was than moved to the back part of the restaurant. We felt very uncomfortable during the hour we spent at Satya's.
We ordered the bhel puri and the dahi puri which was nice.
My mother and friend ordered the masala dhosa. One had enough potatoe filling and the other was almost devoid of any.
I ordered the three piece dhosa. Well to my surprise I got one whole dhosa which was filled with green chillies, raw onion and ginger. There was nothing to rave on about this dhosa. I dont understand why they call it a three piece dhosa when its just one piece filled with raw ingredients. Very disappointing.
Overall a very average meal and the fact that it was like a fridge inside did not help. I would not go to Satya's again.

My partner and I drove past this restaurant and had heard amazing things about their food. We decided to go, and were not at all disappointed. The food was EXCEPTIONAL!! All the food was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing!!
The service was very slow. My partner had their food at least ten minutes before mine was served. The staff were very friendly.
The decor was nothing to rave about, but that doesn't matter... the food was the best!! I will be going back many times over and want to try everything on their menu!

After travelling to Auckalnd to watch Cirque du Soleil, my wife and I took a cab to Satya for a much anticipated visit, after the restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. We ordered four entrees to start: Samosa Chat, Mirchi Bajji Majaka, Pani Puri and Dahi Puri. The Puris were great and I preferred the Dahi Puri. The yoghurt was very thick and had a delicious sour creaminess to it. The Samosa Chat was good too, but fairly similar to the Dahi Puri. The Pani Puri came with a spicy water to pour into the Puri. The Mirchi Bajji Majaka had a thick doug and not like a pakaora batter that I was expecting. For the mains I ordered the Murg Badami and my wife had the Lamb Vindaloo. The Murg Badami was the better of the two. The whole almonds, flavours and colour were fantastic combination and it was a very large serving. Whereas the Vindaloo, while also flavoursome, lacked any real heat. When asked how ht we wanted it we asked for the chef to cook it as an authentic Indian heat, but this had virtually none and was more like a Rogan Josh. All the other flavours were there though – so all was not lost. We had a Garlic Cheese Paratha and Roti too. The Paratha was bizarrely topped with cheddar cheese, similar to Kiwi cheese on toast – and hardly authentic Indian food. The Roti was good and faithful to the Indian recipe with a distinctive ghee taste coming through. We had enough leftovers for another tasty meal the next day
