I have been here several times and the curries and service have always been excellent. Tonights meal was fantastic (chicken achari) and the flavours were authentic, bursting with spices and deliciousness. Amazing wee place. It deserves to be known as one of the best restaurants in Christchurch. Another bonus is its a very reasonable price. Well done!

Delicious food, enthusiastic staff. Cheap price, the best place for Indian food in Christchurch.

Not just the best curry, but more broadly the best food ive eaten in Christchurch (and possibly beyond). We come by every Thursday and have not been disappointed on a single occasion. The owners clearly have a passion for the food they serve that goes beyond economic gain. After the meal, the chef often comes out of the kitchen himself to check if youve enjoyed his creation.

Was a delicious meal, enjoyed the quality of service and food, especially that soyachap sizzler plater was amazing.Shame tho it wasnt much busy. Restaurants like these do need to be appraised.Plan your next gathering there, you surely wont be disappointed.Cheers

This is by far and away the best Indian food in Christchurch, if not New Zealand.I have yet to sample better.No gimmicky food coloring or tomato soup slop that is commonplace in New Zealand Indian cuisine.British hot beef achari is particularly exquisite.I challenge any Indian food establishment in New Zealand to better Ferry Indians.

Use this place up! Its an absolute gem. Never seen it really busy and it deserves to be. Hopefully all these great reviews wont make it so busy that the excellent service and unbeatable quality start to slip. I reckon Ill take that chance, it deserves recognition

Fantastic food and quite generous portions. Also incredibly patient staff member on the phone who explained the different flavours and amount of heat, while l tried to decide. Finally ordered a mixed platter entree and 2 chefs special mains thinking ld split them, have one now and one in the freezer for later. Much more food than l was expecting and as Im not a very big eater, l actually had enough for 4 meals. Definitely order from them again.

Called by last night for a trip to the subcontinent. Decided to dine in to get the full experience. I actually think they deserve a worse rating than the four stars Im giving, but the food was great, which really saved them. Got the Bhuna Gosht (hot) and it delivered the one two punch (second one in the morning), leaving me well satisfied!Unfortunately, it arrived almost an hour and half after ordering. As a stream of Uber-Eats drivers rolled through picking up order after order. It is a shame that they prioritise uber-eats over their dine in customers, but i guess its the more critical buisiness given the times.

Ranjit and his team always worked really hard to keep standards high, this place such a lovely dine out . It’s been nearly 2 years we moved to CCH since then we’ve been going there pretty much every weekend. Never let us down. Highly recommended.The best part is you ask them to customise any dish as per your needs and they’ll do it for you.Hats off to whole team ferry Indian. Really appreciate your consistency.I’ll share some of my favs:Best entree: paneer tikka masala/soya chaap platterBest mains: 2 pyaza paneer/soya chatpataBest bread: EXCEPTIONALLY AWESOME GARLIC NAAN.Cheers all, enjoy your time out.🙂

Food took 2 hours to show up. Was meant to show up at 8.09pm. Didnt show up until after 9 after ringing them 3 times and being lied too saying oh the driver is on their way the restaurant is less than a block away so delivery should have taken no more than 2 mins. After to all that, they order was missing food. We called them back (for a 4th time) and they refused to do anything because we swore at them the third time we called indeed we did swear because we were all extremely hungry and had been blatently lied too twice. The meal was average and portions small. Worst Indian takeaway ever experienced.

Update - 9 August 2020I tried Ferry Indians restaurant again and this time, they definitely changed my opinion about their food.I ordered :1. Dal Makhni2. Kadhai Paneer3. Raita4. Butter naan5. Tandoori rotiI have to say that everything tasted like perfection.It’s amazing to see that these guys take their google reviews seriously and also take action to rectify it unlike many other restaurants.Kudos to Ferry Indians 😊————————————————————————I’ve always had a good experience with this restaurant but this time the food was really below average.I ordered chicken tikka masala, butter naan and Soya Chaap platter.I have been eating soya chaap since my childhood and unfortunately this was the worst one I’ve ever had. It literally was bad, both in taste and texture.Also, Chicken Tikka Masala was just good enough to be edible. Best thing about the order was actually Butter Naan.In a nutshell, really disappointed this time.P.S - The staff is really welcoming and friendly.

Staff are not practical. We booked from First Table. Because of kid we had to rush so asked if they could pack leftover. They refused to do so because we booked from First Table. We were not over ordering. I think businesses should look practically to satisfy customers not like you should have read the conditions. Terrible experience.

Review №44

We ordered a set of meals and had them delivered by uber. We hadnt noticed but one of the meals was wrong. Without saying or suspecting anything, the owner realised this, *drove all the way over here*, and gave us the meal we were supposed to get for free. It was so unexpected, as they would say on radio Hauraki, bloody great New Zealander!!

This is the only Indian restaurant I will go to from now on. I cant even express in words how good this place is. Good food and great ingredients are really valued here and customer service is the best Ive ever had. I am happy to say I can leave a truly heartfelt 5star review. We were all very very impressed ❤️

Review №47

Best Indian food weve had for a very long time. We had to try a new place, as our usual takeaway isnt open on Mondays, and so the Google reviews lead us here. The high ratings are completely justified. The Lamb Rogan Josh had the most tender meat Ive had in a curry. Authentic, tasty, not overpowering. Well definitely be coming back.

4 of us experienced Ferry Indians on a dark dank Saturday night. However the ambience within compared to the outside conditions was just the opposite. A small and cosy restaurant with outstanding customer service made for an great evening. The food was simply divine !!Little doubt we will be back regularly- top stuff Ferry Indians.
