   A large, spacious, and bright restaurant with an amazing and lovely atmosphere. We were looking for halal breakfast and found this place just two minutes' walk from our hotel. We ordered two types of eggs with falafel. The place is clean, and the staff are friendly and cheerful. I highly recommend it. I’m from Bahrain (a country from the Arabian Gulf).

   A Cozy Experience at Ima Cuisine… Ima Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm, cozy vibe and lovely lighting set the perfect mood for dinner. We started with the mezze platter…The pillowy, fresh pita paired beautifully with the creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and smooth labneh. The pickled veggies added the perfect punch, and the falafel was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—some of the best falafels I’ve had in a while. For mains, we shared the halloumi and chicken along with a variety of sides. I’m already planning my next visit—especially during the day so I can have their famous hot cross buns! If you're looking for comforting, authentic Middle Eastern flavours in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, Ima Cuisine is a must-visit. Highly recommend :)

   Ima Cuisine offers a truly exceptional Middle Eastern dining experience. The flavors are vibrant, authentic, and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive. Rupert, was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure we had everything we needed and provided great recommendations. The warm atmosphere, combined with the delicious food and excellent service, makes Ima Cuisine a must-visit. Highly recommended!

   The ambience of the place is amazing and takes you to a place where you could just sit back and relax. The food was on point. Mezze for Two was fresh and bread soft and hot. Dips were also amazing. Chicken with rice and 3 other sides were also succulent. We also ordered the non alcoholic sodas which were a 7/10. They could have had a bit more flavour in them but they did compliment the food. Portion sizes are a little disappointing in comparison to the price one pays. Staff though were all really good and very welcoming, and interacted with us to make sure we were comfortable with everything.

   Came in for lunch during work after walking past many times before. The restuarant has a nice ambience, and the staff were able to accommodate 9 of us at short notice (although it can get busy, so might pay to book for large groups). The food came out exactly as described on the menu, but the portions were bigger than expected. A great place to stop by for lunch.

   I had an absolutely lovely experience at Ima Cuisine, surpassing all my expectations. The restaurant’s ambiance perfectly complements the incredible food they serve. With a delightful mix of cabinet food and an extensive dine-in menu featuring TONS of options for all food preferences, there's something for everyone. We ordered the Middle Eastern platter for two, which could easily serve three people, and we had plenty of leftovers. The food was fresh, delicious, and their hummus was hands down the best I've ever had here in Auckland. Additionally, their menu offers a wide range of beverages, from Arabic coffee to cocktails, both of which were extremely delicious. Despite the restaurant filling up quickly as we visited close to lunchtime, the service was still remarkably swift. I am already looking forward to returning.

   Had the most beautiful meal here with parents and grandparents. Comfy seating, lovely and friendly space, attentive staff, and the food was incredible! It felt very homely and welcoming to be there. Definitely recommend for groups. Convenient for a meal before a show, as we just wandered down to Spark for a 7.30 kick off.

   The ambience of the restaurant was nice and the staff was friendly. The lamb shoulder we ordered wasn't bad. However, the quality of the dish doesn't justify the price they charge. Also, having had sabich in Israel before, the dish they served was a bit different from what we imagined. The eggplant on top was hard and burnt. I would say there are other better quality Middle Eastern restaurants.
