“Had a chat with the owner, he's from Taiwan. And since I was there last year working as a teacher, we had a great conversation. He's a really decent guy and his establishment is very nice and very presentable.”

“We had a birthday celebration for our friend and brought our own birthday cake. Didn't have to pay extra fee for that. It was a fantastic service from the waitress to the chef. We are Muslims ladies, and the chef went to our table to double-check our dietary requirements and preferences. The whole night was wonderful. 100% recommended for celebration.”

“Best dairy in the area. Everything you might need, reasonable prices, friendly owners.”

“Great place to grab coffee and a filling breakfast! It’s a few mins walk from the Handerson station and right next to the Waitākere Central Library. The atmosphere is relaxing, food is good, and customer service is excellent. I’ve only tried their egg benedict but their food menus also include taco, burger, croissant, sandwiches, etc. Bubble tea also look promising, will have to come back to try. The bacon is a bit too salty for my personal preference but it isn’t bad. Location, atmosphere, customer services, and reasonable price make this a 5/5 experience.”

“Fantastic Drinks, I order the 1000ml Tropical Fruit Tea and my friend the peach slushy, pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ingredients used. Highly recommend”

“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!”

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

“Definitely recommend this place ! Best sushi of all time, my partner and I come here every week not only for the food but the amazing service from the three lovely ladies and the chef . They are always so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy, the presentation is beautiful, and you can really feel the love they put into their food . It’s become our go-to spot, definitely a 10/10 experience!”

“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.”

“I've been a regular at this cafe for a while now, and it continues to impress. The staff are friendly, personable, and always professional. It's the kind of place where being a regular feels genuinely appreciated. The cabinet food is my usual go to, always fresh and tasty. I particularly enjoy the beef pide and toasted banana loaf, but the cooked menu holds up just as well. Coffee is consistently enjoyable, which is something I value. The atmosphere is a good balance of enough background conversation to feel lively, but not too noisy to chat or get work done. The interior is clean and attractive, highly recommended for both catching up with others or solo work over a coffee. Particular shout out to the front of house staff, as it can get quite busy here at peak times but they work together like a well oiled machine.”

“I loved this place awesome coffee and great service”

“Just had my 40th @ Roweys. It was an amazing night for everyone. Best place I've been to in a long time. Everyone had something that they could do. Sing, play pool, table tennis or the pokies. Recommended this place to everyone!”

“So this place is actually really nice. Very nice LED lights. Service is so great. Food is yummy. -Sayf 10 years old The food was good, the service was good but they have to add dumplings. 9/10. -Saleem 7 years old”

“Absolutely loved the roast meal here! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection, with a beautiful golden crust. The highlight for me was the gravy—it was rich, flavorful, and tied everything together so well. The vegetables were fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the portion size was generous. Definitely one of the best roast meals I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend for anyone craving a hearty, comforting meal! The photo speaks for itself.”

“I am only marking 'atmosphere' down because our table of 4 was the only one occupied. We had 4 different meals and all were delicious. This restaurant deserves to be better supported. The decor has recently been revamped and is really nice. The menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced. There is also a BYO option for the budget conscious. I had the Chicken Rogan Josh... superb!”

“I came in today, 2nd August 2025, and honestly, I just had to leave a review because the experience was that good. Right from the moment I walked in, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. You could tell they actually cared about making sure we were comfortable and happy. Service was fast, smooth, and super polite. It’s rare these days to see people go the extra mile, but the team here really did — and it made a big difference. Now about the food — wow. I’m not even exaggerating when I say everything was so fin’ good*. Packed with flavour, cooked perfectly, and served hot and fresh. Every bite just hit the spot. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do, because the quality was honestly next level. I wasn’t even that hungry when I walked in, and still ended up eating way more than I expected — it was that tasty. I don’t usually write long reviews, but this place deserves it. The service, food, and vibe all came together perfectly. I’ll 100% be coming back and definitely recommending it to friends. Massive thanks to the whole team — you made my day.”

“Came here for a quick breakfast before browsing the mall. Ordered a french toast and a mocha which both didn't disappoint. The french toast tasted very fresh, flavourful and delicious while the mocha was great. The atmosphere was very welcoming as the worker at the front provided amazing customer service.”
