Food establishment in Auckland

“This place is no longer Williams Eatery - it’s now Bowler! They offer a fantastic selection of bowls, letting you choose from chicken, beef, or salmon, with bases of either brown rice, salad, or a mix of both. There are plenty of healthy options to enjoy here. I visited Bowler with my colleagues to check out the new spot, and it didn’t disappoint. The experience was wonderful! The staff were friendly and personally called out our names from the counter when our bowls were ready. It got quite busy during lunchtime, but at $17.90 per bowl, the price felt reasonable and well worth it. So far, I’ve tried the Free-Range Chicken Bowl (No. 1) and the Mt. Cook Salmon Bowl (No. 4). Both were absolutely delicious! The brown rice base is perfect if you’re looking for a more filling meal. The bowls focus on highlighting the natural flavours of the ingredients, with no heavy sauces - just fresh, wholesome goodness. I enjoyed Williams, and now I am loving Bowler too. I’ll definitely be coming here more often for lunch. Highly recommended!”

“Always good produce and meat. Friendly staff. Nicely designed store and well thought out positioning.”

“Definitely the best place to have brunch. Lovely staff, excellent food, and high quality. I recommend it and will be back!”

“Great coffee and food, friendly service, nice wide range of teas to try out, would highly recommend.”

“Slow Lane: oh, my goodness - incredible! Apparently they were understaffed when we visited (during rush hour) but their customer service did not slow/suffer at all. Amazing, friendly service. Decent sized, tasty meals. We will definitely go again!”

“Excellent communication and service. My parcel arrived today to the South Island just after 3 days of my order. All items packed with care, nothing was broken. Thank you for your service!”

“Best place in Milford. Two plates of breakfast perfection. The burger was juicy, towering masterpiece with crispy onion rings, while the avocado toast with scrambled eggs was fresh and delicious. Great coffee too.”

“Had a mean azz feed here for Brunch, Good classic French Pastries. And of course gotta get the locally loved "Chips". Desserts are to die for, friendly service. Love the decoration of the place”

“We had the most fantastic experience at Mudbrick - I highly recommend visiting! Brooke did our tasting, she was so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. The wine was absolutely delicious (we went for the “Waiheke Tasting” and we loved all four of the wines). We sat outside, the views were incredible across the island and Auckland in the background. The waiting staff were friendly and the food was absolutely delicious and so aesthetically pleasing. The foccacia was the best I’ve ever tasted!”

“I visited this cafe with my daughter today.I ordered Flat White and Egg and Bacon muffin. Coffee is good but no good art. Food is not special, just ok. Place is enough to serve group. Interior is good. Cleanness is quite good. Service is very fast and good. Staffs are kind. Recommend for morning tea and coffee break.”

“Aren't dissapointed about The Gateau House! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and filled with the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft.”

“Such a gem! One of the best meals we had in NZ. The ceviche will change your life. We were basically licking the plate. Cocktails were fantastic. Doesn’t feel as touristy as other spots on the island which is nice as well. We were only stopping in for a snack and it was so good we ended up doing full blown dinner here. View of the ocean down the road from outdoor seating. Thank you to the chefs and wait staff for a wonderful meal and time!!!”

“Awesome. Third bottle visited that night I went. Biggest array of grog. Vast display. Best place to go for choice. I was asked by 3 different people if I needed a hand. I was just walking around looking at all the spirits. I will go there from now on. Friendly girl on the counter, happy to recommendations for my requests.”

“I am definitely saving this on my restaurant list because every single piece of what we had was amazing. The staff were really nice and helpful from explaining the menu, each dish, how their smoking system works, and offering to open some of the blinds to cool our seating area down. Do expect to leave with quite a large bill, but that's the standard price to pay for good bbq around here.”

“Wow this is a return visit to this intimate dining venue after a few years. This time I was with my family. The portion sizes are generous. We had three small dishes and three mains with three sides. The small dishes were larger than expected. Pork, prawns and fish tartar all different but delicious. For a main I had the sweet and sour pork belly, this my go to dinner choice and it was mind blowing. I have rarely had a dish that was so perfectly balanced between rich salty pork and the sour sauce, I was in heaven. The duck fried rice and beef curry were rich and flavourful. No one had food envy and there was enough to share, we all loved it. Cocktails were lovely too, high recommended dinner experience. I'll let the photos speak for the cosy intimate atmosphere.”

“Had a delicious breakfast here yesterday! I am fairly boring, I always get the eggs on toast. The had a big beautiful menu of loads of different things, as well as cabinet food. The staff were super friendly and welcoming I could see they are a local favorite. Great outdoor street seating as well as loads inside. Would highly recommend :) Jess, Hospitality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales”

“This sushi train spot in Westgate is always busy, especially with families and groups - it’s clearly a local favourite. I came here today with my parents, who love this place and already know all the best things to order. We started with the fried chicken nuggets, they were super crispy and a great way to kick things off. Ordering was easy with the QR code on the table. We got a good mix: some fresh salads, a sushi set, a sashimi set, and a big bowl of udon to share. The sashimi was probably the highlight - really fresh, nicely presented, and the pieces were surprisingly generous. We enjoyed every bite. The udon was also a perfect way to wrap up the meal - warm, hearty, and satisfying. The vibe here is really friendly and relaxed. It’s a bit pricier than some other sushi train places, but the quality makes it totally worth it. Definitely recommend if you're looking for solid sushi in West Auckland. + visited again and had a fabulous dinner (added more photos)”

“We love this spot! Very fresh, clean and delicious flavours. The menu is extensive and offers a bit of everything in terms of variety and price. Haven’t had a bad dish here so far. The team are very friendly and warm. The interior is full of Japanese theme with a homely feel. Yaruki for life!”

“Went there for the side groceries several times Levant middle eastern groceries. Pickles, Tahini, canned halal foods & frozen Molokhia & Bamia ( Okra) as well as fresh Lebanese kmaj bread & yoghurt. White cheese & halloumi in small & large blocks as well as boiled white sheep cheese. The staff are very friendly & helpful”

“One of the best restaurants in Auckland for Mediterranean cuisine. Made fresh, the meat dishes actually taste fresh. Don’t expect some fancy interior or fine dine but defenitely some of the best tasting meal you can have. It’s best to go as a group as the serving portions are very generous. Also the best naan (bread) is done here. Been there twice (lunch and dinner) and will surely revisit again”

“Loved the chef's special! The food was fresh and tasty. The Turkish coffee is quite intense, so if you're into strong expressos, you'll enjoy it.”

“I visited the restaurant midweek for dinner with my friend. An Arab friend had recommended it. The atmosphere and decor are lovely. The staff are very friendly. We had chicken mandi and lamb tikka, which were truly delicious. The tea was also wonderfully made. If you enjoy Middle Eastern food, I highly recommend it.”

“Excellent food. Nice quirky place. The young lady who served the table was very gentle and kind. We ordered eggplant puree with naan bread for entrée and it was delicious. The lamb shank with mashed potato and rib beef and both meals were superb. It's a shame they don’t have beers but it goes with their tradition. Recommended!”

“Travelling with my cousin in Auckland. We wanted Ramen and noticed many different places with different scores. We were very lucky to find The Don. Food was amazing, we had the karage chicken starters then I had the Spicy Death Ramen. Was AMAZING. I wish we had something similar back home”

“The ramen at this place is absolutely amazing, and the side dishes are just as impressive. The service is excellent too. It’s a great spot to come alone and enjoy a beer—this one in particular is incredibly delicious!”

“This place never dissapoints, we drive from Mairangi Bay to get standard takeaways here. Burgers and Toasties are great. They have THE BEST chips. Their wontons are delicous too. Have tried a couple chinese dishes and they didn't disappoint either. The owners/staff are really nice too. Definitely worth the drive.”

“We love Sake Bar. The atmosphere is brilliant, relaxed Japanese dining. The food is fresh and delicious! Fast service. Friendly staff. Fun dinner. Great for birthdays (make sure to tell them and order desserts, at least for the guest of honour).”

“Amazing restaurant, totally recommend! I came to this restaurant earlier this year and oh my was it amazing! First of all the atmosphere is very clean and well cared for, and the staff were very polite and good at their job. The food tasted amazing, especially the syrup chicken! The pasta also tasted great. The only complaint I have is that the wait was too long for the food! Overall please give this restaurant a try, it's worth it!”

“If you love Korean food, Vietnamese pho, and hot pot, you must try this place! They offer a buffet at night for $38 per person, featuring a variety of vegetables, meats, and cooked dishes. The fried chicken and rick racker are absolutely delicious. The beef slices are perfect for the hot pot—juicy and tender. The owner even adds hot pot sauce to enhance the flavor. The soup for the hot pot is tasty, well-seasoned without being too salty. And don’t miss out on the bubble tea; it’s the perfect complement to the meal. Highly recommended!”

“just tried the new special, Egg Benedict on Cheese Scone!!! The flavour was so good and the price was fair. The music was so relaxing as well and made me stay here for way longer than i expected. Workers were also really funny and nice to talk to! Definitely recommend”
