“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.

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.

“Very cool and nice place, food is perfect you have to try this, the best place in South Auckland”

“Had a few dishes. Food and service was good. 3rd time there. Quite consistent.”

“Had heard so much about this place and was super excited to try, boy did this place deliver! The Ken Tuckyman chicken taco was world class and is a must try, the prawn taco was beautiful too. Really cool how the whole menu is gluten free. Highly recommend this place, give it a try next time you’re nearby. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“A neat little food truck next to countdown on greenlane. The lamb kabab wrap was absolutely delicious. Next time I would certainly would want to add extra kabab if there is an option for it. The veggies in the wrap was extremely fresh. My daughter tried the grilled chicken wrap but I preferred the lamb over the chicken. If there is an option for a chicken kabab wrap, it would certainly be a wonderful add on.The tea is great and the samosas were fresh too. One more shout out to the lamb kabab, extremely flavorful and could just have that all by itself ..”

“Great food variety. Food prices have increased since the a few months ago we had a dine-in here. But overall a good place for dinner.”

“Wow what an amazing place! First time in the staff Greeted me with a welcoming G'day. Unfortunately I'm gluten free (celiac) However this wasn't a problem as they had a few different opinions. The Kebab came out before I could sit down, To say the service was outstanding is an understatement. My first bite left me wondering if I should get up & order a second (the portion to price was definitely correct) it was absolutely delicious. This little store almost hidden away beat my expectation right out of the ball park, I will promise you one thing I will definitely be returning for more... Kind Regards, One very happy customer”

“They make amazing food for big gatherings and occasions. We always order their lamb and rice which has nuts raisins and lots of nice spices. Their prices are a little on the high side but I think for an occasion it’s worth it.”

“A nice Turkish restaurant just on the corner behind queens street. There is ample seating space for indoor dining as well as some space for outdoor dining while sitting on the street. The menu is pretty large and enough vegetarian options are available in all types of pizzas, Turkish Pide, and sandwiches along with sandwiches. The Shwarmas and Pizza are really good. Staff is really nice and the service was very fast. Parking is a challenge around this area as it is on a busy junction, so you need to park a bit far for street parking or in a parking lot around the city center. Nice Halal place to grab a bit while roaming Auckland city center. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.”

“Such a great little kebab spot. Went in for a late night kebab and chip sesh and was absolutely delighted by the Cajun chicken wrap with the little parsley leaves in there. Staff were really friendly and kind, even though it was near to closing. The atmosphere is quite magical with all the beautiful lights and whatnot and it honestly put me in a better mood. What a blessed place. Thank you.”
