Dine in dinner in Auckland

“We had our wedding at this venue and it was perfect from start to finish. The spaces are beautiful, the layout flows effortlessly for ceremony, photos, and reception, and the food & bar service were outstanding. A special shout-out to Abigail, the venue manager—she was phenomenal. From our first visit she was organised, warm, and incredibly responsive, offering practical suggestions that elevated the day (timelines, room setup, wet-weather backup. On the day, Abigail and her team ran a smooth, stress-free event so we could focus on our guests. Multiple people told us it was a great venue, and we agree. If you’re considering this venue, book the tour and ask for Abigail—you’ll be in the best hands.”

“Superb coffee, super friendly staff and a very relaxed, clean, family friendly space for all”

“Delicious food. Cozy cafe. Reasonable price. Highly recommended.”

“What an awesome spot! Jose’s Cantinas brings back a lot of memories of living in SoCal, where we would go to Taco Tuesday spots religiously. Really cool setup/atmosphere, super friendly staff and a fantastic range of Mexican food options. The perfect spot for a jovial weeknight. Thanks Jose, love your work!

“The waiters in this restaurant are very polite and made me feel very comfortable when dining in the store. They will ask you carefully if you need more water? Still need some service? It's been a long time since I've tasted such delicious Japanese food. The vegetable tempura is not greasy and the ingredients are chosen just right, so it tastes delicious. The most surprising thing is that I didn’t expect the portion size of KIWI DINNER to be so big, so I think the portion size for two people is just right. A Japanese restaurant that is worth visiting again.”

“Went there early evening so no need to book a table. Food was good but the eel bento box was little disappointed with the amount of eel served. Other food was good !”

“Very busy restaurant, we went around 7:30 and it’s nearly full house on a Wednesday night. Food was great and authentic as usual. You have a lot to choose from on their menu. Portion size is great, I won’t say it’s pricey.”

“Super friendly staff. Will make it fresh. Such a bright colourful store. Great flavors and an A grade”

“We will definitely be back! Cold beer and delicious food. The food was so good - Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, Fish Katsu, Vegetable Tempura. Loved that the mains came with Miso. Very reasonably priced plus BYO (which is so rare these days). The only negative was the restrooms could do with a bit of a refresh, but you go for the food, not the loos!”

“Celebrated my son’s 11th birthday there with a large group. Everyone loved their food and the staff went to so much effort to make our evening perfect. Service was 5 star and the food was delicious. Had sizzling beef sirloin, pad Thai, red duck curry, tom yum soup and satay chicken - everything was delicious! It was BYO and we took our own cake. The brought the cake out with ice cream! So lovely and so reasonable. Thank you”

“We have been to this place a couple of times now and it's been great. Really good food, lamb vindaloo hot and goat curry in the bone was very nice. Great service and good bar selection”

“Bunny chow order for a group lunch. Eight orders was easy to order and pick up on the day. Fresh soft loaf of white bread toasted with a generous filling of the curry. Happy team. Would do it again.”

“We usually come on Fridays and always have a great experience. The food is delicious every time, the service is friendly and consistent, and it’s BYO wine which makes it even better. One of our favourite local spots!”

““Located right on East coast Road, Royal Indian Cuisine is a gem! Their goat chicken is absolutely fabulous, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff members are very friendly and have a great nature, making the experience even better. A must-try for anyone who loves authentic Indian food!””

“Have lived just down the road for 2 years, so thought it was time to try out the local Italian joint. Grabbed a takeaway lasagne (made in less than 10 minutes), walked home (less than 5 minutes), and chowed down. Super moist, super yum! Will def go back and get Cabonara for my wife, plus will try out their canelloni :))”

“I bought this bathure chole today at lunchtime, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s super soft, cozy, and comfortable—perfect taste . Love it So Yum Best in north shore. I have tried everything but no comparison at all. So yummy and completely Indain style what I was looking for.”

“Amazing, Have been here three times and service is always great and food is amazing. Seeing a Panigale is cool too.”

“Restaurant is absolutely beautiful with a romantic feel to it. Perfect for date night. Delicious food and they come round and top up your rice! Service is very friendly. Recommend the Thai fried rice!”

“A true hidden gem! I'll be honest, at first we thought it would be a small takeaway place but were pleasantly surprised. The space is quaint and intimate. The staff were lovely and everything tasted INCREDIBLE! The Moneybags were the best we've ever had. The picky pork was also delicious and the portion sizes were great especially for the price. 10/10 will be back again.”

“I came here for dinner and the food was delicious. For my main, I had the Tom Yum Soup with prawns. The soup was so flavourful and aromatic with an appropriate level of spiciness. The service was also quite good. The restaurant is a bit small so it can get a bit crowded and loud.”

“What an amazing gem with excellent service and amazing food. The food was authentic and fresh and very well prepared and presented. There is street parking and even thought the restaurant is compact it can cater for heaps. You don’t need to book and can just walk in. Take away is also available but Its nice to sit down and soak in the vibe.”

“Okay just get two dishes. Samsun jjajjangmyun (seafood version of the black bean noodle) and chapsal tangsooyook (fried pork with sweet and sour source but the chapsal (sticky rice) version . We got the smaller size this day. These are our go to. We have tried some of the other dishes but these two are worth it!”

“Great authentic tasting Thai food. Spicier than your usual neighborhood restaurant, closer to what we've had when we visited Thailand. A bit cramped for larger groups, but for 4 or less a great spot.”

“Popped in for dinner after the Allblacks game and were rewarded with exceptional service and a wonderful meal. I love to slow cook so I ordered the beef cheek , WOW… I was not disappointed it was beautifully cooked and the flavours were wonderful. There is a big screen here which has me thinking I may book dinner for the next game. Looking forward to returning and sampling some more things on the menu. Highly recommend!”

“Best Indian we've had in a long time (maybe ever). We had a wonderful meal tonight. The chilli prawn entree was exceptional! We also loved the lamb cutlets, mango chicken and lamb vindaloo! Every dish was delicious and the service was great. Very friendly and yummy, highly recommend! We will be back ☺️”

“Perfect place to eat Thai food. Tasta are great, and for me the portion is just right. They also have kids menu.”

“The sides are delicious, the fish cakes are a definite favorite, the lady who works there is an angel ,”

“A bit upmarket. Quiet and the food was delicious & well presented. It was a bit cold, but after talking to the staff, they turned the temperature up a bit, which was great. Staff were fantastic and good parking right outside. Quite pricey, but we were there on a deal, which made it good value.”

“Fish n chips very yum and reasonably priced. Ordered 3 - $35 good value for price for me and my family. Would recommend to others”

“Cute small japanese restaurant. The restaurant is clean and has a comfortable athmosphere. The staff is very nice and helpful. They seem to like working there and do a lot for the positive vibe. What I've ordered so far: Takoyaki - new favourite dish at Coo's, I just had it today and it was so creamy and delicious! Gyoza - absolutely amazing, especially with some soy sauce. Can 100% recommend this as a starter or to have with a drink. Katsu don (Pork) - was amazing, it could do with some extra tonkatsu sauce for the rice but was still very (!) good. Ikageso - delish little calamaries. Nothing more, nothing less. Karaage don - the karaage was nice and juicy. I am not yet sure how it compares to the chicken katsu don but can recommend. Eel don - beautifully presented and I loved it, but I like eel in general, so if you are not big on fish, I would not recommend this. Umeshu - nicely presented and tasty, reminded me of some dried plums I've had back in europe”
