Food establishment in Auckland

“Amazing food! The owner is so nice and kind. Offered himself to take a photo of us. Creamiest pasta I've ever had.”

“It was my first time at a vegan restaurant but I did enjoy my meal. We left it up to the chef and chose the big feast option which is $59pp (minimum 2 people) and a wine pairing for 1 person $35. I was so stuffed I had to go for a walk afterwards.”

“Absolutely delicious! This place serves an amazing variety of authentic Indonesian dishes. Our favorites are the mie ayam komplit and the soto .Every bite feels comforting and made with love. The owners, Mba Tina and her husband Riko, are incredibly friendly. They always welcome us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality.”

Nice chicken keeps things pan‑Asian comfort and focused on flavour. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Service stays present without fuss. Stir‑fries keep go...

“Can't recommend this place enough! That’s our weekend go-to to start with, such a great food presentation, lovely live plants and canvas to lit-up the aesthetic of the cafe. Awesome and wholesome services from this family run business! They were always welcoming and serve with the smile. My special thanks to Summer, Harriet, Gabby and their wider team. You can definitely feel the homely and the love they put in their food and service.”

“Staff is very polite. I had teriyaki salmon on rice. They used a mix of purple and white rice. So delicious. The place is also very clean.”

“One of the best sushi places in Auckland. The ingredients are fresh and in generous portions, and there's a great selection of flavours. The tables in the courtyard are fabulous to sit in the sun and people watch. Would recommend.”

“The best place for breakfast & lunch on Waiheke Island! Lovely spot with few seats outside, offering stellar breakfasts with REAL french patisserie goods (only place we got a like-in-Paris croissant in weeks...), as well as yummy sandwiches & burgers around lunchtime. Prices significantly lower than rest of the island while the food is better here. We came back twice during our three day-stay on the island!”

“I don't know how many of you know about this hidden gem. This Filipino BBQ restaurant is yum and charm, especially to the meat lovers you really don't want to miss it. Upper Queen right opposite the park, small venue but very worth the penny you pay. Great Filipino hospitality, one person to handle almost everything still wear his natural smile. The pork ribs, steak and the adolbo (Filipino slow cooked pork ribs) are the three recommendations you must try.”

“The coffee is amazing, the service is incredible and this beautiful family owned cafe has created an epic community that we love being a part of!”

“Amazing quality & portions we had the what a mess burger & Fried chicken waffles . Coffee is made really well, good crema. Not just pretty latte art, good coffee. I will be back, highly recommend this place.”

“Aliz kitchen is the best when it comes for food for a family or for a large group.Recently we took a soccer team to Auckland and we used Aliz kitchen for catering 40 people each day breafast , lunch and dinner and every single day the food was amazing and service was exceptional food delivered on time and at different locations without any issues. Highly recommend aliz kitchen if you need any catering done and to top it of he made sure he he had varites of food and very accomdating for last minute changes as well with menu together with short notice .”

“Great pizza and pasta combined with very friedly service. Italian food at its very best. Now even pizza tuna available.”

“Wow! First time getting sushi from here today as just started working in the area and all I can say is AMAZING! So fresh and clean and lots of great options! Will definitely be back for more.”

“After a nice walk up the hill, only to be greeted by a friendly singing barista, cool vibes, hot coffee and yummy treats. Thanks Thomas we’re lucky to have you in our village. A+++”

“Found this hidden gem while waiting for our lunch to be prepared next door. They have an excellent selection of wine. The staff was great. He asked some questions on what I was looking for and gave some great suggestions. I would highly recommend checking them out.”

“Great drop down blinds, not used as intended, but easly installed to our 6.4m wide custom made gazebo, it rained today but works amazing in the diect setting sun!! 100% recommend, ps easy install as well.”

“Hidden behind a parade of shops. Music from an extensive vinyl collection, with handmade pottery cups and mugs for sale. The distillation of laid back island life in a small welcoming business. Oh, and did I mention that they make very good coffee? Altogether delightful.”

“Ordered the laska. Thick and creamy, good portion size. Very simple taste that could use some more complexity, but it was cheap and the shop is probably the best out of the given selection on the floor. Great service too. Would recommend.”

“Had a great experience overall! The food was absolutely excellent—every course was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The crew was warm and attentive, and the ambience was really cool and inviting. A special shoutout to the bartender—absolutely amazing! The only downside was the wait time. Our three-course meal took over two hours, which felt a bit too long. That said, the quality and vibe made it worth the wait. Would still recommend, especially if you're not in a rush.”

“Our daughter just had her wedding service and dinner here, and it was absolutely fantastic. Gillian was fabulous to work with, easy to get gold of and very accommodating throughout various meetings held in preparation. The waiting staff on the night were wonderful- so friendly and cheerful. Our meal was amazing. We loved the room we hired- it was the perfect size for our party of 30, and mingling out on the deck while the couple were off for wedding photos was lovely. We truly loved our time so much- couldn't fault anything. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. Ps I couldn't comment on the noise level and reservation as they weren't really applicable as we weren't in the main restaurant.”

“I’ve had two great experiences here! They’ve gone above and beyond to ensure that guests with allergies or restrictions feel not only accommodated, but welcomed. So incredibly kind and friendly! Allergens are clearly noted on the menu and they went out of their way to let me know what precautions they take to minimize the chance of CC. The food was incredible, and I’m glad I went with their recommendations. The note on the menu re: customizing tasting and set menu options to your dietary restrictions was really nice to see. I’m celiac and felt very understood when I noted a severe allergy.”

“Great wide range of Nepalese food, including Indian favourites. The service was even better. We ended up staying there for ages because of the great vibes, and the is ocean right outside. Highly recommended.”

“The food here is amazing. The menu is curated well and each dish is prepared with care. We had a wonderful server who took the time to explain each dish. A wonderful experience :)”

“Had a great lunch stop on the way to the airport on Tuesday. The range of GP beers is always a selection dilemma, but settled on a February Fresh IPA... delicious. Enjoyed a great VEGAN masala toastie. Guys you really need to refresh the menu and add more plant-based choices!”

“Well, this little café is an absolute GEM!!! We have been here a few times now and love it!!! The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. My mom in law is visiting from South African so we took her for a breakfast. She had the half portion Cezwe Grill and said if that's the half portion she will never finish the full portion. This is now our breakfast spot. Well done to all the staff.”

“Brilliant coffee, friendly server, terrific quirky decor. A little piece of urbanist heaven.”

“Highly recommend the grilled meats here, especially the beef — perfectly cooked and super juicy! I’d suggest going for medium rare for the best flavor. Their signature Kika sauce is also amazing and goes perfectly with the meat. Definitely a must-try spot!”

“Amazing produce with lovely staff. The cheese selection is incredible ...try the basil or chilli Gouda!! Pesto was delicious. Lots of European products and very fresh fruit and veggies. Good value too for quality food. These people take absolute pride in their business.”
