Dine in dinner in Auckland

“The staff here are what truly make this place shine. So friendly, so accommodating and genuinely lovely human beings. The owner even came out of the cafe to help two older people out of their car and he walked them to their seat inside. Absolutely amazing and would definitely come back!!”

“The salmon sushi was so fresh tasting. It was nicer than some expensive sashimi I've had at some other places. I ate it all so quickly and went back for more pieces... Very affordable, tasty and extremely friendly staff. Thank you!”

“Amazing menu all round, vegetarian options are all delicious, tasty tofu, awesome kakiage, spring rolls, dumplings & nigiri very satisfying”

“Best sushi place on the coast period. Nice selection and great value, staff are friendly and they keep the place very tidy. My only gripe is that they tend to stop making fresh sushi around about 3pm, Fair enough but would be great if I were able to get sushi after that time”

“Delicious food (both from the kitchen and the cabinet) and drinks, and friendly and welcoming service. It's a quiet place to do your work, and there's plenty of parking space. Definitely recommend and would come back again!”

“Very tasty food, good quality and fresh, which is very important in sushi. I really recommend going there. In addition to being very fast and friendly service. I ate at the restaurant, which is clearly more designed for take away, but I still recommend it, because the important thing is the food.”

“Great service, staff and delicious sushi”

“This is the best Japanese restaurant on the north shore and that I have ever been to. The food is exceptionally good. The service is consistently wonderful and they always make sure you feel welcomed and happy. The staff are all amazing and the store is consistently clean and tidy. I love this store and the lovely staff who make my day every time I walk in. TLDR: Great food, Great cleanliness, Amazing service. 10/10, would give more stars if possible.”

“This restaurant more than lives up to all the great reviews. The setting, location, interior, and vibe are perfectly in tune with each other. The food is incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. We had breakfast here, and you could truly say it’s a breakfast for champions! If you’re staying in Auckland, this place is an absolute must-visit.”

“Loving Bay sushi, best Sushi in Browns bay , always fresh, super friendy service and lots of selection.”

“The most authentic and delicious Mexican food places in Auckland. Can't recommend it enough.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now I understand why Gemmayze Street was voted No.1 — this place is outstanding! The chicken shish is hands down the best I’ve ever had: juicy, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. The saffron rice with raisin, walnut, and a touch of sour creamy sauce is absolutely delicious — a perfect balance of sweet, nutty, and creamy. The hummus is also a standout. It has a flavour that reminds me of Sichuan chili, but without the heat — super unique and addictive. The lamb was decent, pretty standard compared to everything else. I also tried their new dessert — it was okay, just not quite my taste. Overall, a fantastic experience and a must-try if you’re in the area!”

“I won't give a 5/5. Instead a 6 or even a 7 out of 5 for the food and service. Great food, especially those beer battered oysters- oh wow. And the great service, simply awesome.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If I could, I’d give 20 stars!) We came here for dinner and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The wine was excellent, but what really stood out was the incredible service. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who looked after us: he was outstanding. He explained the menu with such honesty, knowledge, and enthusiasm, and it was clear he had a deep understanding of both the dishes and the restaurant itself. We were unsure what to order because everything looked so good and we couldnt decide as we wanted to try everything. he guided us perfectly, giving thoughtful recommendations and going above and beyond to make sure we chose what suited us best. Even though the restaurant was full, he was attentive, quick, and genuinely warm smiling the whole time and clearly enjoying what he does. It’s rare to find service like that these days. The food was just as impressive. We had a meat dish (piatto con carne) that was one of the best mains I’ve ever had in Auckland, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The linguine pasta was also delicious. But the star for me was the olive ascolane: even better than the ones I’ve had in Italy. For dessert, the cannoli was outstanding, the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Even when it came time to pay, the staff were friendly, accommodating, and made us feel welcome right up until the very end. We truly enjoyed every moment of our experience here and will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended!”

“That was really good. Fresh, simple, and full of flavour. The chef did an awesome job. This place never disappoints.”

“I had my pleasure to have dinner at Cassia. We tried the Feast Menu. The foods were delicious! Great cocktails! Lovely services. The Daal could be improved because there was an overwhelming taste of Maggie Spice. The Fish Taco was the star for me. And of course Beef and Lamb!”

“Delicious freshly made pasta in a beautiful Gorgonzola and walnut sauce. A lovely glass of wine to go with it. The salad was less inspiring, but it is the middle of winter. Thoughtful, friendly staff made for a pleasant meal for one.”

“Just ordered takeaway for my dinner. LOVE IT! Spicy Crispy Pork dish and Chicken Pad Thai, the food were flavoursome ,and good portion size.”

“First German restaurant for me and I have to say: I will come back. Me and my partmer had the plate A and even if it looks big, if you’re hungry don’t worry you’ll eat everything. Loved the sauce and the smashed potatoes, reminds me of my grandma’s one. I like the fact that you have tomatoes, coleslaw and other salads on free service. We also had the tab german beer and nothing to add you know just a tab beer. But the owner is really kind and gave us a good experience. Boyfriend here, I’ve been to Berlin and the taste is familiar. I vouch for this only german restaurant in West Auckland. Traditional I love it”

“Authentic French food in Auckland. Perfect for weekend brunch spot. We enjoyed savoury galettes, croque monsieur and eggs benedict. Dinner menu looks great too.”

“We had a great dinner! New menus are absolutely stunning. It's good that the Crispy Pork Belly was back in the menu with a refreshig sauce and I love the braised cabbage. The staff are friendly and accomodating. Thank you!”

“Fantastic friendly customer service. Wow how positive. Good coffee. Plus lovely food options.”

“5 stars! Food is very delicious. Always fresh and hot. Never had a bad meal here. Best curry around. The staff are really amazing too. Our go to for Indian food all the time”

“Back again at this lovely place. They’ve got new options on the menu, and everything is so delicious. With friendly staff and a warm atmosphere, this cafe is my first choice in Browns Bay.”

“Two years ago, Spiga was the place where we had our first date. Now, as a married couple, we returned for lunch, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and exceptional service made it a truly special experience. Fungi Pizza was absolutely incredible—hands down the best fungi pizza in Auckland! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the mushrooms were so fresh and flavorful. We were so impressed that we asked the staff where they sourced their mushrooms. They were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything in detail, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to come back and create more beautiful memories here.”

“This is hands down the best sushi in town. Some sushi is pre-made otherwise you order and it is made fresh. The price is so good and the staff are so helpful!! Highly recommend.”

“Came out a few months ago to grab a curry. Hadn’t been here before but my partner had. Since then we’ve been back every couple of weeks. The food is great, but for us it’s the service. They are so amazing and always remember my name, (which as someone who can never remember names myself I always find super impressive) we usually sit and have a glass of something while we wait for the food and the food itself is always bang on. The singer is also fabulous! (Give her some applause if you go, she deserves it!) Definitely one of our favourite places.”

“Came for lunch, good parking spot right outside. Our server was very polite and friendly. We ordered filetto, risotto e fungi, and tagliatelle bolognase. Nice big portions and absolutely tasty! Eye fillet was cooked as requested. For dessert we had cheesecake and profitroles which were nice. Very nice and clean restaurant and toilets, nice moody ambiance. Definitely will return.”

“Definitely a hidden Gem of Indian cuisine in Henderson. I popped in last night for a feed and a pint and once again did not disappolnt Great friendly staff nice drinks selection”

“We loved their new summer menu, especially the clam vongole and chicken diablo! Asparagus pasta was amazing too! Love the vibes here such a gem in Grey Lynn, would highly recommend:)”
