A lovely location, great service, and outstanding food. An impressive range of drinks available including inspired cocktails including low alcohol and no alcohol options. The food is delicious, looks beautiful, and the flavours are rich and complex and various. We chose the Journey through India-...which seemed to include about 8 dishes of various sizes - a “trust the chef” - was wonderful. A great variety of tastes, sauces, heat, lots of wows.More

Absolutely loved Cassia - so much so we ended up coming again a couple nights later. We went with the tasting menu and loved being surprised with a variety of dishes that we probably wouldn't have picked for ourselves. My favourites were the Goat Cheese...& Corn Fritter and the Lamb Chops - but I liked pretty much everything I was given. Some of the reviews say it wasn't a lot of food but I was stuffed both times I went and I think it was actually great value for $95 pp given the prices being charged by lesser venues around the area. I also think that the atmosphere was lovely, seats comfortable and the service was exceptionally professional. A lot of the food did have a kick to it, so if you cannot handle spice at all then it might not be for you - but It was one of the most positive dining experiences I have had.More

The food is outstanding! Really probably the best subcontinent cuisine in the CBD. It’s very pricey and the portions are generous so one main per person is plenty. They have a tasting menu but only for 2 or more. Lots of “table touches” but not...for the solos. I didn’t feel like they wanted single diners from the reception. No carryout so I guess I need to bring a friend next visit!More

Wow! what an amazing place. Sid really has excelled himself. The smell as soon as you walk into the restaurant is fantastic. The food was plenty for the price. It was so nice to be served by well trained and pleasant staff. They were watching...all the time but not overwhelming. We had the tandoor chicken & lamb main. It was our 41st wedding anniversary so we received a little cheesecake to share which was delightful. Most impressed and highly recommend.More

I had wanted for a while to check out Cassia and finally had the opportunity with three family members. This modern Indian restaurant certainly didn’t disappoint. First of all, the service is immaculate. We chose the Journey Through India tasting menu with wine pairings. Everything...was spot on and all the bold flavours of India left us happy and satisfied.More

We got in at a sharing table, and had fun with family next to us. All the food was very flavorful and interesting. Recommend sitting at back of restaurant, where techno music was not so loud

Wow, this is an outstanding restaurant. We went on a Monday night and it was packed with diners. Exceptional service, sensational food. Absolutely recommend dining here when in Auckland. So lovely to see so many staff happy in their jobs. Great recommendations for food from...the staff. Thank you Cassia. It wasn't our first visit as we've been many times when in Auckland. Consistently 10 out of 10!! Thank you team xxMore

We had dinner here one evening and found the menu to be a really interesting twist to Indian cuisine. We ordered a couple of entrees and a couple of mains and were a bit surprised at how large the portions were; we ended up taking...some with us. The food was great but a bit too overly spiced (and we like spicy food), especially the lamb seekh. The thing we really didn’t like about the place was that it was too noisy (Friday night) and the music played was awful; all we heard was the “techno beat” that only made us eat faster to get out of there. We were seated near the bar; we recommend sitting in the back of the restaurant where it isn’t as noisy.More

My wife and I just had a wonderful dining experience at Cassia. The modern Indian cuisine was creative and presented beautifully. Every dish we had was such a treat for someone very unfamiliar with Indian cooking. The wait staff was exceedingly efficient and very knowledgeable...about each dish. The ambiance of the restaurant created a warm space for the wonderful meal. Wish we lived in Auckland so were could regularly partake in this wonderful fare.More

Excellent Fusion Indian, variety of balanced flavours, wine by the glass poured at the table.👍 BUT why why the constant techno music. No break and in a narrow space echoing. We could hardly have a decent conversation and had to shout . Sore throats guaranteed...not from Covid. 4 not 5 starsMore

The restaurant is tucked in an alleyway in Fort St. Its very trendy, very beautifully decorated and smells amazing. The food is super delicious, Karahi chicken was my favourite, and service was just extraordinary. Everyone was very attentive and we were well looked after.

My third visit to this restaurant and I am never disappointed. Outstanding food, high quality service and a chilled environment. We had the 'journey' and the timing of each course was spot on. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Favourites...were the lamb and duck dishes. We will be back on New Years Eve.More
