“Great food and service! And Ainsley, our server, was terrific! I would highly recommend Bella Cucina!!”

““Best location to enjoy an outdoor setting with a stunning view of the hills! The customer service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The cocktails were amazing, and the spice level in the food was just perfect. We truly enjoyed every bit of our evening — thanks to The Lounge and the wonderful team!””

“On Saturday night, we celebrated a friend’s first home purchase with dinner at Gina Restaurant. From drinks and entrées to mains and desserts, everything was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive, moving effortlessly between tables with a warm, contagious smile. Thanks to the entire Gina’s team, we enjoyed a truly joyful celebration. We’ll definitely be back!”

“This is genuinely the best butter chicken in the whole of New Zealand.. I’ve tried so many other places and nothing compares to Sagar. 10000/10”

“Not our first time at Elmos, and once again it didn’t disappoint. We were lucky enough to catch the last round of truffle season ,the dishes were absolutely amazing. The service was 5-star, attentive and friendly throughout. The environment is cozy, surrounded by beautiful paintings and stylish décor.”

“Got some pizzas delivered for a work event and they were a great hit! Good flavours, good crusts and obviously good sizes with those 1 meter pizzas!”

“Had a great night, Food was amazing, and great service, crispy Squid tentacles were delicious with a chillie sauce and the seafood Ka ta was also delicious. Will be back more often. Gigi and staff thank you for the great food.”

“Had the Tom Kha, Satay Chicken and Chicken cashew nut stirfry. The place was pretty busy, but that didn't stop the chefs from speedily producing, very filling, delicious meals. I was extremely impressed by the service.”

“Amazing Thai food, fun modern atmosphere. We loved the pad Thai - great consistency and flavor. Not too dry or too saucy. Garlic fried w/ ginger rice was delicious, had great chili sauce to go with it. We really really loved the mango and sticky rice and roti w/ pandan”

“Excellent food and service from Thai Street. Papaya salad was nicely seasoned and prepared. Tom yum soup is actually huge for $32.5 and good to share for four people. Pad Thai and beef was fantastic too.”

“First time trying this place after moving into the area. Ordered a hot red duck curry takeaway. Took about 15 minutes. It was so good! Lots of vegetables, a whole breast cut up on top and actually spicy! Came with rice so very well priced for $24, especially for the duck serving. Woman on counter super friendly. Will be back!”

“If you're looking for the best Pad Thai in town, you're in luck! The food is phenomenal, the staff were lovely and I would go back 100%.”

“Impressive variety of quality vegetables and succulent chicken. The sauces were beautiful and the spice ranges were finally hot enough! Thai “medium” is what many western people will call too hot… but it’s not! If you don’t like spice order mild - for me, I ordered the hottest curry I could and it was incredible!! The sharp chilli spice cutting through the creamy coconut sauce with rich umami undertones… heaven. The Pad Thai lacked that sexy wok hei smokiness, and I prefer a wider flatter noodle, otherwise fantastic.”

“Came here with my partner and ordered chicken pad Thai and beef pad Khee Mao (drunken noodles). Recommended if you want authentic Thai food. One of the best in Auckland!”

“The best Thai food we have ever had! We have ordered off Uber eats the Pad Thai, Thai red curry and spring rolls multiple times and it has been just as delicious as the first. You can tell this is made with love and this is definitely my top #3 favorite places to eat.”

“Lovely, warm and friendly staff. The food is absolutely great and always cooked on time. The Pad Thai is the best”

“Wow, what a night. We went for a birthday dinner . The atmosphere was great, the food was exceptional, with huge portions, the service was excellent. We wanted for nothing. We'd certainly go back to Der Metz. Highly recommend”

“Great Japanese food selection and delicious food. Will definitely come back again!”

“Price and portion are both reasonable, and the food was excellent. Food was served a little slow but that makes sense considering how busy they were. Recommended!!”

“This place is a gem. We ordered share plates (edamame, chicken katsu, tempura veges and okinomiyaki) followed by Japanese ice cream. All were prepared very nicely and were delicious. Service was efficient and friendly even though the hard working staff were quite busy. The whole place reminded us of small restaurants in Japan. We wish there was somewhere similar near where we live.”

“WOW, my 3rd visit to this establishment for celebrating birthdays and today a MOTHERS DAY high tea experience! This was outstanding, the wait staff really looked after our table despite the cheek I gave them all. The place settings and tea selection was first class, then came the delicious high tea style food plus hot savouries absolutely amazing and super delicious we managed to eat everything presented! After our feasting we all went for a stroll around the beautiful property, fantastic a wonderful place for wedding photo shoot! Oh and the venue of course. Thank you for the most enjoyable trouble free MOTHERS DAY celebration! No dishes or cleaning up required! Oh it would pay your team to water blast the signage it top front of your premises, my only fault! Arthur C. Charlton West Auckland NZ”

“On Christmas 2023, my brother and sister-in-law gifted me and my husband a gift voucher to Parnell 149 high tea with bubbles. Was amazed by the food quality - they were delicious! The service was great from the 2 host and the manager Jazz. The restaurant was well presented, clean including the bathroom. Please keep up the good work.”

“The food is very good and well prepared, with portion sizes are satisfying. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, making the overall dining experience very enjoyable.”

“Firstly, these guys offer those super tasty Cantonese/Hong Kong flavours - not the less satisfying mainland Chinese flavours becoming more prevalent in the city. Even the free soup (see pics) was tastier than many paid soups found in other restaurants. We ordered the Dry Fried Round Beans (G1 on the menu at the time of ordering) which comes with that super tasty Cantonese pork sauce - it makes everything taste better! And a big serve of Soy Chicken BBQ noodle soup (N2 on the menu at the time of ordering) - you won’t leave hungry! Delicious Cantonese style Soy chicken & BBQ pork with egg noodles - and that sweet/umami combo Cantonese soups are famous for. Even the tea was special, with a balanced, light fragrance which comes from a touch of lemon - a house blend apparently. Thank you, we’ll definitely be back!”

“Great food and friendly service. We walked in for dinner and we were accordmodated with booking for dinner. Group of 4. Everyone enjoy thier food. Fresh and favor full. Good portion size. Will definitely have to return.”

“Hard to find places that are this good! I rarely crave certain dishes or restaurants, and I’ve come here about 5 times, mostly for the Olympus platter shown in the photos. I’ve also gotten the platter with the chicken and a lamb wrap. Everything is so extremely delicious, and amazing value for money as the portions are extremely generous. Truly so rare. I am also not one usually impressed with salads, so the fact that every salad I’ve had from here is addicting is saying something. The lamb and chicken are both super succulent and fall apart, the sides are great, so fresh and flavourful, and everything is amazing value for money, very rare for the quality of food. The second time we went they had warmed up the flatbread which made a massive difference. The dips are flavourful and fresh, tahini dressing on the cauliflower salad is delicious, the chunk of crispy halloumi is so good. The complimentary hot tea is also such a nice addition that I haven’t seen many places. Very high quality of food, service, and bang for your buck. Will keep coming back here are trying more things for sure, but the Olympus will always be a crowd pleaser.”

“Lovely unassuming little coffee house. Friendly staff, nice peaceful atmosphere. Very reasonable on the pocket.”

“The team at 55 Café truly impressed us with their exceptional service in hosting the Asian Boss Collective 2025 event for Business North Harbour. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and attention to detail, which went above and beyond our expectations. From the initial planning stages weeks in advance, the team made sure every need was met. A special thank you for your generosity in allowing us to stay longer than planned, giving everyone the time to unwind, relax, and enjoy each other’s company in such a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, and the team ensured everything ran smoothly during the busy event days. We highly recommend 55 Café to anyone looking for the perfect location to create a memorable, professional event experience. We can’t wait for our next visit!”

“Excellent service and the steak was fantastic. The ONLY complaints are the garlic loaf which is actually a 1/3 of a baguette at $10 (rip off) and the jacket potato which is about the size of a tennis ball at $9:50 (ridiculous)”
