About Us
Mumbaichef
MumbaiChef was born in 2018, but my culinary adventure started way back in 1991, when I first ignited a stove in the bustling kitchens of Juhu. Over the next thirty years, I immersed myself in the art of Indian, Tandoori, and Chinese cuisine, honing my skills in some of the finest restaurants across Mumbai and New Zealand. One of my proudest moments was earning a spot in the Guinness World Records for the longest curry delivery with Raj Mahal in Christchurch. This milestone was a testament to my dedication and love for cooking. Eventually, I realized my dream of owning my own restaurant in Orewa, NZ - a journey marked by passion, precision, and pure flavor. Today, MumbaiChef is the culmination of my global experiences, bringing bold, honest, and unforgettable dishes to the table. Each dish is a tribute to tradition and a celebration of innovation, crafted with the same love and dedication that has fueled my journey from the very beginning.
Customer Reviews
Lovely little restaurant. We asked for an outdoor table, they happily moved things for us. Our food was really good. The spice level was perfect. My husband ordered a goat curry which usually has more bone than meat but here, it was the other way around. The service was lovely. I'd definitely go there again.

Hands down the best Indian curry I’ve had in New Zealand. Every time I come here, the food is so good I end up finishing everything on the plate. The curries are rich, full of flavour, and just incredibly satisfying. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Mumbai chef really offers a very unique flavour. We ordered the mumbai cheese chicken and the garlic dal and both were flavours we've never had before in Auckland. The dal was chana and not toor which was a pleasant change for us. Chef Dinesh was very polite and friendly. His journey from Uttarakhand to Mumbai to New Zealand was inspiring. Highly highly recommended.

Really loved the food here🤗The chhole bhature was full of authentic flavor, and the veg noodles were perfectly balanced and tasty. Every bite brought back memories of home and Pahadi-style comfort food. 😋Highly recommended👌👌👌👍👍
