Roops Vegetarian Sweets and Snacks is widely recognized for its authentic and flavorful Gujarati and Indian cuisine, particularly praised for its fresh and delicious jalebis. Customers appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to traditional home-style flavors and its variety of vegetarian and vegan options, including popular snacks and thalis. While the takeaway service is highly valued and noted for its efficiency, the dine-in experience receives mixed feedback due to limited seating and modest interior settings. The service is generally described as friendly and honest, contributing to a positive overall experience. Located conveniently with accessible parking, Roops is regarded as offering good value for money in the Auckland area.

We are regulars here at Roops. Love their snacks, jalebi and chat. Takeaway is very nice, there is room for improvement with dine in.

Location: It's close to the shopping area on Richardson road. Parking: Roadside parking available just outside the restaurant. Value of Money: This place offers a good range of home taste food at affordable price. Seating: This place is primarily a take-away place and not much attention to the interior of the restaurant. They have 4 Rajasthan style seating - huge tables and heavy chairs. Service: Service is slow and you need to be mindful when you order as the next item you order may take longer. Taste: We ordered a variety of items including 2 thali's and the food was very close to taste at home. Overall impression: A good place to enjoy or take away home-like cooked food at affordable cost but would recommend ordering ahead.

You can't get better Jalebi than this place in all of Auckland. It's just amazing. They have some nice Gujarati thali as well. We loved the authentic Gurjarati flavours. You will have to wait for Jalebi on festival here, but the wait is worth it.

I have been here a couple of times now. And every time, these guys impress me with the quality of food they serve and their service. I was here with a couple of workmates a few weeks ago for lunch, to enjoy a meal from Western India. Their food is absolutely authentic and delicious. The staff was very friendly too. Their Parathas, Dhoklas and sweets are a must try especially Jalebis! The portions are great too and so is their take away packaging! I would highly recommend them! :) Cheers

A tiny homemade Indian (especially Gujrati) food shop. It’s a combination of best quality and great service. Really recommended if you’re in love with home made food.

Best Indian food I've had in 20 years of living here. Can't believe I've only just discovered it.
