European cuisine restaurant in Auckland

“Traveled from South Auckland to bring our son here for his birthday based off the great reviews and his love for crepes. Specifically only came for that one dish, the crepes, and man they didn't disappoint! The crepes were flavorful! Very tasty! Price is reasonable I spose. Service was great, She always had a smile, kept water topped up, greeted and farewells us. Made us feel comfortable being Hori's in a boujee environment lol Atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Beautiful view. Going back to try the meals on the menu. Highly recommended the crepes!!”

“We dined at Soul Bar for dinner. Our server Liz was very lovely and attentive, she made us very comfortable and answered our questions gracefully regarding the menu. All the dishes were well presented, fresh and flavorful. Good mocktail selection to, which was a nice surprise. It was a weekend evening so it was fairly loud but great, lively atmosphere for an inner city restaurant. Bathrooms were clean and tidy, rest of the staff were friendly too.”

“Eurodell is an absolute gem! They offer an incredible range of high-quality European products, especially their smallgoods – everything is authentic and full of flavour. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and really know their stuff, which makes the whole experience even better. Their fresh sandwiches, rolls, and sweet treats are next-level – all made using the very products they import, and you can taste the quality in every bite. Highly recommend popping in, whether you're stocking up the pantry or just grabbing a delicious lunch!”

“If I was just rating the Indian food, it would get 6 stars (I haven't had the non-Indian food yet, but there is a good selection). I recently moved here from the UK, and generally speaking curries in New Zealand are not as good as the UK, and my test dish - chicken Dansak is either usually not available or not good, but at Mainsail it was brilliant...best curry I have had since coming to NZ, hands down (and better than many I've had in the UK). My wife who is not a big curry eater, enjoyed her Tikka Massalla as well - they get the heat exactly as you request. There was a good choice of non Indian food as well, which we didn't sample. In terms of atmosphere, the interior of the restaurant where we have eaten both times, needs refreshing. The views are good, and with a bit of attention, it could be a great space. The main bar seemed OK, very much a bar, and the outdoor patio looked like a great place to sit when the weather is good, which it wasn't when we went. This is overall a good place, and will be somewhere we come regularly due to the location and the excellent curry. I doubt I will ever sample their non-Indian, which looks fines, because the Indian so darned good!”

“This is a nice and delicious Thai restaurant. I tried the slow cook beef cheeks and it was fantastic. A bit spicy but nothing I could handle (I’m Mexican). The side of Jazmin rice was very good and helped with the spiciness. They have Tuatara and Tiger beer on tap.”

“We had a delightful dinner at Siamese Doll recently. The flavours were amazing, portions were generous, the service was attentive without being overbearing. We had 2 entrees, 4 mains and a round of drinks for $60 a head, which I thought was great value. Great to see a busy restaurant on a Wednesday night! They also dealt with my daughter’s nut allergy seriously and respectfully. We’ll definitely be back again soon!”

“From the moment we stepped through the doors we were warmly welcomed! The customer service is exceptional. Food was excellent. Overall an amazing experience and would definitely return!!!”

“Absolutely one of the best food experiences in Auckland. Highly recommend. The Herbed Scramble is delicious. Look and feel of the restaurant is amazing, the food is top notch and the staff… They’re all friendly, helpful and professional. Thanks for the experience, team. Great job.”

“Been the go to as long as I can remember good prices yummy food lots of it can't go wrong with sun ma”

“This is the best takeaways in all of the lands. Many travel from far and wide for its mighty delicacies. Don't forget to ask them to make your chips extra crispy. Pretty much always the last takeaways still open late at night.”

“My go-to Fish n Chips within easy reach for me. Most times, fish is tastes fresh.”

“Excellent place to come food was fresh and a food decent serving if chips highly recommended”

“Haven't had decent Chinese since The Flying Horse Chinese in Takapuna. First time and Wow everything was fabulous. Great taking the order on the phone! We had wontons & dumplings that were huge and full of meat with a decent tub of sauce! Fried rice, S&S Pork, Chicken CM very tasty and great servings. Definitely coming again!! Well done!”

“My go to for fish and chips as well as Chinese. Awesome food, friendly staff. Please try ASAP!!”

“Pork and Chicken Chow meins never disappoint. I've recently returned back after many years. Last time I was here was back in the 80s. Wish you had efpos, but hey it is what it is. Awesome the boys have all grown and are now cooking, still remember them when they were really young. Thankyou for serving our community :)”

“Excellent fish and chips. Quick, friendly team and very good quality. Your the best. Cheers”

“Great local. Been coming here for years. Beside their fish & chips, love their sweet n sour, chow mein, black bean & fried rice options. Very tasty, reasonable prices.”

“We had breakfast there . The breakfast menu was good. The food we ordered was really tasty. The atmosphere is of really cozy street cafe where you can spend time and have food. A bit like Europe. The service was real fast and very polite. Overall A nice experience.”

“Holy!!!! A coast hidden gem!! Went for dinner, started with the cheese and garlic bread, must be home made dough because I could not get enough of it, then had the tarragon chicken, I’ve been dreaming about it ever since, absolutely mouth watering. staff were absolutely amazing, the smiles they give, you cannot help to smile. Decided to come back to try their breakfast today and what can’t they do, coffee 10/10 and I had the smashed avocado, would go back every morning if I could. If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!”

“LOVE this place!! Food is always so freshly made and great flavours. Definitely takes me back to Thailand! If you’re a fan of fresh seafood, then you need to try the raw prawn salad. Love their curry puffs and money bags, super crunchy and comes with a really good sauce. Their sizzling plate is also amazing with some coconut rice. Service here is always so friendly, totally recommend!”

“Recently visited Ebisu with a group of friends to experience their Oki No Saturday Buffet. The selection was truly generous- fresh sashimi, sushi rolls, shrimp, udon and miso soup as well as hot dishes like salmon, braised beef brisket. And many delicious desserts. I have to say the sashimi was beautifully arranged and fresh. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. Our group wholeheartedly enjoyed the Oki No Saturday Buffet. I will recommend it without hesitation to anyone if you are looking for a relaxed Japanese buffet in Auckland.”

“I love this place!!! It may be on a main road but the atmosphere inside the courtyard walls is beautiful…. a feel of Italy. We were greeted warmly and found a lovely seat in the sun where we thoroughly enjoyed the coffee and delicious food brought to us. I ordered the beef burger without buns and my son had the fish salad… both were spot on! I can’t wait to come back on an evening and enjoy the courtyard, with the festoon lights and a glass of wine with another Del meal!”

“Massive servings with great quality food! Really happy will be a repeat customer”

“Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Hubby had the big brekkie and I had the omelet with tomato, mushroom and ham. Both meals came with a 5 grain toast and we had a large mocha each. 100% the most delicious breakfast we have had in a café for a while. The food was so tasty and the coffee was great. We want to know where to get that 5 grain bread.... that was really good. Thanks team, we will see you again.”

“If you're looking for a good takeaway place, look no further because this place is simply the best. Delicious food with a wide range of options. Every dollar spent is always worth it.”

“Have come here for a while now with my siblings - Great spot and perfect for classic takeaway. Never written a review before but the cashier I think Tiff is great. Friendly and positive attitude something I don’t see much in restaurants anymore! Made my night.”

“This place is take out only and has been in the area for over a decade! Cute little mom and pop shop. Fast service and the food comes out so crispy each time! I typically get their fish and chips because of how thin and crispy the fish is!”

“Best potato fritters by far. Standard scoop of chips was a good serve and delicious crunchy chips. Look forward to trying the fish and Chinese menu also.”

“We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Gochu for the 5th time, and it never disappoints! Every visit has been an amazing experience, with consistently delicious food and excellent service. This time, we tried the Restaurant of the Month menu, and it was absolutely worth it and a bomb- such great value and packed with flavour. Huge kudos to the chefs, especially Chef Rhea, for creating such memorable dishes. Gochu is definitely one of our favourite places to dine!”

“Just arrived for first time. This market should be open till morning. No night life in auckland. But this place quit good. Seems like street food corner. Enjoyed.”
