“Had an amazing birthday dinner here. Both cocktails I had (Strawberry Kiss & Pink Gin Spritz) were so delicious. Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread was so yummy, and my sirloin main with truffle parmesan fries, peas, & gravy was one of the best meals I’ve had out in a while. Staff were very friendly too, & food & drinks all came out quickly (was a Monday night though!). Will definitely come back.”

“First time visiting. It was so nice to meet the previous owner who is Ara-Tai Cafe in Half Moon Bay. The atmosphere is nice and it's not too far from home, so it seems like a great place to brunch. The food is delicious and I'm planning to bring a friend.”

“Didn't have food. But the hospitality and service were brilliant. The music was great too. Highly recommend”

“Been coming here for several years now and the coffee and food is exceptional. Can't recommend it enough.”

“The freshest and best sushi to go, in the area.”

“Good experience picking your own strawberries, we were told there was a large group the day before so we would really have to look for strawberries and mentioned their other branch just down the road, we ended up staying and we found some good juicy red ones. It wasnt busy when we got there but got abit busy when we left. Best to go when they open, and also try the ice creams next door. Overall awesome experience. Oh and you can also eat as you pick lol”

“Really lovely club. Sheltered outdoor seating, beautiful native park like gardens.”

“Have been to a few live music events here. Great atmosphere and staff are friendly. Lots of options re beverages and meals. The mural wall is a highlight and always enjoy our time”

“We went there for Karaoke night. We enjoyed it very much. Drinks, stories, laughs, and dancing.”

“Cheap beers, friendly locals and staff and the pokies where fun”

“Love the milk tea. The pearls were sweet, soft, and chewy. Wonderful shop. The drinks are made with love, definitely will come back to support bubble tea shops that make drinks with love.”

“The place is just a replica of BBQ nation outlet in India. First they serve you all the BBQ dishes (Unlimited) like Chicken, fish, prawn, pineapple and Kumara. They also serve fried fish and potato with sause. You can then go ahead and enjoy the buffet food which has Indian and continental dish (just one). Overall the experience was very amazing and great service. The food was delicious and restaurant beautiful ambient set up gives a very relaxed atmosphere while enjoy the soft music in background. But expensive but worth a try. Good for family and big groups. Try for Groupon voucher to get a good deal and save some bucks.”

“Had a really lovely brunch here. The food was great, lovely presentation. Service was friendly and efficient. Coffee was divine.”

“So happy to be back after lockdown; the food is better than ever - I think I had the best Mushrooms I've ever had there - and I can always rely on amazing friendly service to go with delicious coffee. If I could give more stars, I would!”

“This place has position, a great bar and restaurant with a locals / marina vibe. Clean and new, the menu has something for everyone. The mussels were incredible. Service is quick and attentive. Being a DB tied place, the usual selection of beer from there is on. Good wine list. If I was a local, this would be my local. It’s even got a sports screen pod which I guess is a good distraction for those that don’t want to converse. I love the bar stools at the bar too - an opportunity for this place to create a real locals vibe. Great stuff! Go here..”

“Won the mega jackpot twice on the space hold and win game thank you forge bar for the coin I'm going to buy a fat shock wit it”

“Cypress Cafe in St. Heliers is a regular stop for us whenever we are in the area. Their food and hot drinks are particularly enjoyable to us. Moreover, the jazz piano melodies playing in the background complement the atmosphere impeccably.”

“Loved our meal at Black Petes last night, excellent value for $$$, beautifully presented, friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Just moved here, and I got suggested this place. What a setup. Really love it. Very spacious, workers are awesome to talk to, and the local people that I spoke to are very social. Good vibes. Was told to try their pizza and hot dog, so I did. - Brownzy dog 7.9/10 2 for $5 is great value. They're not spectacular. However, they're perfect while watching live sports and are arranged quite well. Delicious to eat. - Meat lovers pizza 7.5/10 $10 isn't too bad too, good size to share. At this point, I was a bit drunk and vacuuming the whole thing to sober up, but it was good for a bar snack. Prefer the brownzy dogs over this.”

“Connie and I came for two nights and accidentally stayed for the vibes. Somehow won a ridiculous amount of Jack Daniel’s merch (pretty sure we’re sponsored now), met absolute legends of locals, and were made to feel welcome from minute one. Food was genuinely great. Drinks flowed. The banter, however… truly terrible. World-class hospitality, bottom-tier jokes, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Left with full stomachs, new friends, and more Jack Daniel’s branding than anyone should admit to. Would 100% return.”

“I like this concept of choosing your own meat, vegetables, sauces, spices, etc, and having it cooked on the big hot plate. It's pretty easy to navigate, even if it is trial and error with the combination you've made up. Separate hot food is available as are salads and other side dishes. Dessert is great, they make really good pancakes, with different sweet sauces to accompany and an assortment of ice creams and toppings. The lady serving was very accommodating and friendly. The buffet dinner was $33.90 per adult. Enjoyed our dinner here in the relaxed atmosphere and would definitely recommend Gengis Khan New Lynn.”
