Koi Lounge - New Plymouth

What a lovely restaurant in the heart of New Plymouth! The interior is vibrant, authentic, and elegant. The service is friendly, and the food is bursting with flavor and deliciousness! While it is a bit pricey, the generous portion sizes make it worth it. A must-visit when you're in New Plymouth!

The service was outstanding, with incredibly friendly staff. The food was excellent—truly delicious! The atmosphere was pleasant as well. It's a wonderful place to visit, and I will definitely be returning soon.

The ambiance at Koi provides an authentic feel of an exotic setting, and the music enhances the atmosphere. The service was efficient and attentive without being intrusive. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that paired perfectly with our meal, and our only regret was not saving room for dessert. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place. It’s the best Indian food we’ve had in 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.
