European cuisine restaurant in Auckland

“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.”

“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.”

“Dropped by on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised by their steak special with eat value and cooked just right. The mussels were fresh and nice, definitely a highlight. It is a lively spot, but I managed to get a table straight away with no wait, which was a bonus. Staff were friendly and attentive.”

“Delicious food, great price and portions and they are always happy to add olives on request which I love. Service is always really friendly. Whenever I get lunch from here I always have people comment on how good it looks.”

“My husband and I got married at McHughes on the 24th October 2025. We had both our ceremony & reception here. The venue is set right on the beautiful Cheltenham beach with stunning panoramic sea views of Rangitoto, North Head and the Waitamata Harbour. Right from the start James was great at communicating and was very accommodating, helpful and supportive. At the wedding rehearsal we set up the arch and were allowed to store decorations for the day. It was easy for our florist and DJ to set up for the ceremony held inside. James did an amazing job setting up the venue, with gorgeous tables and chair covers, Inside there are lovely big pillars with fairy lights and a dance floor. We got a lot of positive feedback from our guests on how delicious the canapés, buffet dinner and desserts were, with a wonderful variety to choose from. James and his team were very well organised and made sure everything ran smoothly. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive to our guests and made the day very special and memorable. We had the Gold package and it was very affordable and reasonable, especially compared to other venues. We would not hesitate into recommending James, Raj and the team at McHughes for a wedding or any private function event. Thank you all very much ❤️”

“A Consistently Exceptional Dining Experience I’ve been a loyal customer at Devon on the Wharf for quite some time now, and each visit reaffirms why this place is a true gem. From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home but with an elevated touch of elegance. Whether it’s for a casual meal with friends or a special celebration, this restaurant never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding. Each dish is a testament to the skill and creativity of the culinary team. I’ve tried a variety of dishes, and they never fail to impress. The flavors are always fresh, the presentations are beautiful, and the ingredients are clearly of the highest quality. But beyond the incredible food, what really sets Devon on the Wharf apart is the service, and that’s where the manager truly shines. It’s rare to find someone who not only manages with precision but also exudes a genuine passion for hospitality. He has this incredible ability to make every guest feel valued and cared for, whether they’re regulars like me or first-time visitors. Their attention to detail, calm demeanor, and willingness to go above and beyond make every visit feel special. On several occasions, I’ve witnessed him take the time to engage with guests, ensuring that their experience is nothing short of perfect. It’s clear that the success of this restaurant is due in no small part to their leadership and dedication. In a world where great service can sometimes be hit or miss, he makes every visit an absolute pleasure. Whether you’re here for the delicious food or the stellar service, I can’t recommend Devon on the Wharf enough. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back, time and time again.”

“Love coming here! I love the $8 happy hour cocktails from 3-5pm. Foods are amazing. The Crispy Pork is the Best!, mocktails are so good, $1 each Chicken, and the friendly service person :)”

“Very good food, everything was amazing! Love the vibe of the place, perfect for date nights! Loved the eye fillet beef carpaccio! It just melts to your melt like heaven! Mushroom pizza with Blue cheese was excellent too! Loved every bite of it! Highly recommend and will come back to have a date night with my partner.”

“I'd been there for couple of times, they always had a great service. Friendly staff and delicious food. We had our end of year Christmas dinner last Saturday, yummy food, great atmosphere.”

“Service was fantastic, food was even better. We got the sweet and sour pork, Steak fried rice, and chicken chowmein. Everything was cooked to perfection, especially the fried rice. Fried rice was definitely our family favorite, and didn't last long. We'll definitely be coming back.”

“The owner is extremely friendly.a family orientated restruant serves northern chinese hand shaved noodle, different taste to most noodles that you know. Recommend to try.good value and clean.”

“Very expensive for a takeaway shop - but the food lives up to the price. The portions are reasonably sized. We had Singapore noodle with prawns, and a Thai Green Curry. Both were simply delicious. Though I tried not to, I devoured that curry in a single night. The meat was tender. The vegetables well balanced. And the broth. Oh the broth. It was watery, but so jam packed with flavour that my eyebrows nearly sizzled off. If you have more than a dollar or two to spare, go here. It's the store on Great South Road that kinda looks like it sells either vacuum cleaners or PC parts with it's odd, green aesthetic.”

“Today rang up for f&c. Fresh crumbled nice Hoki, fresh half serve chips. Quickly cooked & ready. Recommend. Just walk in, grab food & go. No atmosphere as is not dine in. Good!”

“U get pretty good sized serves for your buck in this joint. Eat in take out always fulla flavor with smiles on dials served up daily... Check it yo, go !”

“Always get combo E very good food”

“Excellent service and fresh, tasty food! Stopped by Pita Pit and was really impressed with how clean and well-presented everything was. The staff were friendly, quick, and made sure the order was exactly how I wanted it. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and everything tasted great. Definitely one of the better spots for a healthy and satisfying meal on the go. Highly recommend!”

“That always be my favourite place to taste！Nice and taste food ！Well Down！”

“Exceptional kebabs and always good service. Good meat to salad ratio”

“I came here last night and ordered the potato fritters, fish and chips along with the sweet and sour pork which was really fresh and tasted like a authentic Chinese taste. Both the fried foods were also on point as they were fresh and crunchy”

“Absolutely, the best fish and chip takeaways.I've had in a long time, good prices in great food highly recommend to come and try,”

“Pita House is the OG Kebab joint nestled amongst Onehunga's commercial district. The family owned and operated business is authentic to the word, not only will they serve you the best kebab you've ever eaten, you can also stock up on all you middle eastern groceries and their inhouse Pita breads which are often still warm in the bag from coming off the conveyor belt. I Love this place, love the people & will always travel near or far if the temples screaming for a delicious meal.”

“Was driving by so decided to pop in for a quick early dinner. First visit, so asked for a recommendation and it did not disappoint. We were recommended dahi puri and chole bhature and both dishes were great. We also got a samosa chaat and mango lassi. Will be back!”

“If you’re in the Sylvia Park area and looking for a great Thai meal, there’s a cozy little restaurant outside mall definitely worth a visit. It’s a small place, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in warmth and charm. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is friendly, and it feels like one of those local gems that’s still somewhat under the radar. We ordered the chicken with cashew nuts and the pineapple fried rice, and both dishes were absolutely spot on. The chicken was tender and juicy, perfectly coated in a savoury, slightly sweet sauce, and the roasted cashews gave it a nice crunch. The pineapple fried rice came served in a generous portion, packed with flavour and fresh ingredients — you could really taste the balance between the sweet pineapple, fragrant rice, and subtle spices. What really stood out was how fresh everything tasted. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the dishes are prepared with care. Prices were also very reasonable, which is always a bonus, especially considering the portion sizes and flavour. Parking in the mall, can get busy on weekends. Clean toilets and friendly staff, food can be customized as per ur needs. To top it off, they serve alcohol too — a nice touch if you’re looking to enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine with your meal. Overall, it’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing a quick bite after shopping or looking for a laid-back dinner. We’ll definitely be going back.”
