Koi Lounge - New Plymouth

What a nice restaurant in the heart of New Plymouth! The interior is authentic, colorful and refined. Friendly service. Full of spices, delicious food! A bit expensive, but it's worth it, because their portions are very generous. Must visit when in New Plymouth.

Service was amazing, very friendly staff. Food was great! Absolutely delicious. Nice atmosphere. A good place to go will definitely be back soon

We booked early and had the best service. The restaurant was literally our own for the first hour. We started with a specialty Scottish whiskey and a special gin, Indian the best I ever had Our starters of mixed poppadums and chicken were not only pretty, but excellently followed by nets that were filling and perfection. My husband rated the chicken as the best he ever had. My lambry medium was spicy and was looking for my palette, I especially loved the thick sauce with plump mushrooms and cauliflower, which coated the rice and garlic and cheese nairn that accompanied it was completely sublime. The surroundings at Koi give an authentic feeling to be in an exotic environment. The music sets the mood. The service is efficient and well maintained without being intrusive. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon that made our meal very complicated, our only regret was not abandoned space for dessert. Of course we will definitely return and highly recommend. The best Indian food we've eaten for a long time.

Now again as Koi, the original owners and chefs are back and transformed the place. The new decor is excellent with amazing design features throughout. The new whiskey lounge is brilliant. We already had some exemplary drinks here and we really enjoy the huge soft leather couch and the whisky and craft beer series is really impressive. You can even buy your own locker here and then put a whiskey out of the bar and come and drink if you want. When it expires, just buy another bottle from the bar and place it in your locker. It is a great way to have good whiskeys and the range is really impressive with whiskeys from around the world, including a beautiful from India that I recommend. I have always been a fan of cooks here (and in their other restaurant India Today) and the food is a real highlight. The new menu has the usual favorites as well as some new recipes (I like the Malaysian/Indian Fusion). The presentation is very good and the prices are so appropriate. I also find the staff the best in New Plymouth... very professional and attentive. We are very happy to have some really cool restaurants in New Plymouth, it always impresses our friends from the city and Koi is there with the best.

The chicken biryani is absolutely top notch. The food is absolutely fantastic. This is a great place and the whiskey lounge is lovely if you really appreciate good Indian/Malaysian cusine then it's worth a visit.
