   Came hoping for a nice night with drinks and food… i did not receive that. I ordered one single cocktail on a not very busy saturday evening and it took half an hour to get to me, where the table across from me got their drinks before us, arriving after us. The servers were not friendly and spend half of their time smoking outside. We ordered our food and it arrived an hour later and i didn’t even get to try it as i had to leave as soon as it came out. Left hungry and disappointed

   Took my family here for lunch, ordered drinks first and the lady asked if we'd like our drinks with our food or before - we all said before, ASAP please. We ordered the food at the counter and got settled into our table. Other customers coming in and doing the same, being served their drinks but not us... 20mins later were all pretty thirsty so I went to ask about our drinks where the lady said yeah she'll bring them right over as they're all done and have just been waiting. Why...... Food arrived. I ordered rare steak and it was near well-done, salad was plain and tasteless. My sons ordered pasta and my pasta loving teens didnt like it at all (they're not fussy at all). I had to use the bathroom while there and I can honestly say ive never seen one so gross. Holes in the walls that have been patched up with duct tape, black mould growing up the length of the door, basin tap loose, sink filthy and the room smelt like pee. This was a massive let down and made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen...

   Food is nice but the music is so so loud in the evening that it makes it difficult to hear each other even though were sitting on the same table. We also ordered a bottle water and they gave us a bottle that had been opened and drank from? We notified them and they gave us a new one but strange thing to happen to begin with. Mixed feelings about the vibe/cleanliness of the place but the food is good.

   If you’re looking for a spot in South Auckland that delivers bold Mediterranean flavors, laid-back vibes, and a complete dining experience, Eastern Grill in Manukau is one place that absolutely deserves your attention. Tucked away in the heart of Manukau, Eastern Grill offers much more than just a meal—it’s an experience. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the grilled meats, and baked bread instantly whetting your appetite. The menu is packed with Mediterranean staples and crowd-pleasers. Whether you’re after a plate of crisp falafel, or creamy hummus paired with fresh, fluffy pita bread, you’re in for a treat. Their lamb is a standout—slow-cooked, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, wrapped in soft flatbread or served over rice. The chicken skewers are also incredibly tender, and the garlic sauce? Smooth, garlicky bliss. But what really sets Eastern Grill apart is what it offers beyond the plate. They have a relaxed outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying the warm evening air with friends or family. The vibe is social and unpretentious, making it a great place to hang out for a while. Adding to that, Eastern Grill serves alcohol, so you can enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine alongside your meal. And if you’re after a more chilled, social experience after dinner, they’ve got hookah (shisha) available in a range of different flavors—a popular touch that really brings out that traditional Middle Eastern lounge vibe. Whether you’re into fruity flavors like grape, mint, or apple, or something more exotic, there’s something for everyone. The staff are friendly, attentive, and more than happy to make recommendations if you’re not sure what to try. Service is quick, and portions are generous—great value for the quality and quantity of food you get. Whether you’re catching up with friends, going on a casual date, or just after a solid meal in a relaxed setting, Eastern Grill delivers on all fronts. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately add to your regular list.

   Very disappointed, it seems that every time we go the portions get smaller, or something is taken away. Turkish Tea was fantastic, now it's just normal, you are losing my custom

   Massive thanks to Anne and the chef for catering to a large group! The service is top notch especially as they were busy despite being short staffed, generous portion sizes that don't break the budget - only feedback we have from the group was for a slightly larger side of fries that come with the meal. Apart from that, highly recommended!

   Went here tonight ordered sirloin meal and prawn meal. Sirloin was a bloody snitzel. Prawns all 7 and a salad from a packet for 20 bucks. 25 for sirloin steak meal.asked for medium rare, was well cooked. Not good at all would not recommend at all. Disappointed, money wasted.

   Ordered lamb burger, grilled chicken salad, NY pizza and fettucine. Food was delicious, child friendly. This is a sosha venue but did not effect our dining experience with a young child. Staff were great, food is reasonably priced coming again soon
