We often ask locals to recommend food places and this was certainly a winner. We had lovely fish and chips, well cooked with crispy batter over fresh fish and good chips. Good menu with something to suit everyone. Check out some of the meal deals if you have a good appetite!

My husband picked up sushi for our dinner from here last night. We love sushi and have a regular and favourite place we get our sushi from in our home town so felt a bit unsure if we would enjoy something different. But enjoy it we did. It was all lovely and fresh and delicious and it was great that you could select your own pieces (there was a great range to chose from) rather than being confined to pre-made up packs. Big thumbs up from us and would definitely go here again.
8. Tokyo Sushi
Reviewed By nancysdad
My 10 year old daughter and I came to Taupo for cross country racing. We felt like having sushi for lunch afterwards. We went to 5 different sushi bars in Taupo centre and settled for Tokyo Sushi. We chose Tokyo Sushi for the plenty of choice, fresh salmon and tuna, and most importantly the teriyaki eel sushi, my favorite. Actually, my 10 year old pick this place because she found her favorites, fresh salmon and tuna avocado sushi. We thought the window bench is a pretty nice touch too, looking over the street and people watching is very interesting. We certainly didnât forget waving at our friends when they walked pass :-) we recommend this place if you are looking for an authentic sushi place in Taupo.

On a cold Taupo evening we were the first customers. Before we had ordered the restaurant was almost full. The restaurant felt authentically Thai and service was excellent from a lovely smiling waitress. The food was outstanding from start to finish, hot and so tasty. We will certainly visit this restaurant again when we are Taupo.

We went here for dinner. Had veggie samosas for entree followed by butter chicken and a lovely lamb dish and steamed rice. Had to have mango kulfi for dessert. Although the serving bowls look small they are so filling. Well recommended. Might be best to book as it was full all the time we were there. Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words for us. We are glad you had an excellent experience at Indian affair restaurant. Sincerely look forward to welcoming you again. Kind Regards Indian affair Team

went for lunch in April 2019, was a nice authentic curry. however not much in the way of nepalese selection, considering it is advertised as a nepalese restaurant.Dear BoruThank you very much for taking time to review us and appreciate that you liked our curry . Regards to your concern about not more selection of Nepalese food though its being said Nepalese restaurant. I would like to inform you that we had just started Nepalese food in the menu during your period of visit and we had a few dishes only that might be the reason why you didn't had more choice.Also Malabar is not 100% Nepalese its Nepalese & Indian Cuisine.We are bit concern about your review that you visited us in April but the feedback came on September. Please to inform you that we had added some more Nepalese food in the menu we would be glad to serve you again.Thank you very much Looking forward to seeing you again
