Food establishment in Auckland

“I went there to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth it. Spending time here was such a great experience. The food, the people, everything was fabulous. The seafood platter and feast were especially delicious, and the place has a really nice view. If you have a party coming up, I would definitely recommend this place!”

“Absolutely worth the drive from town. Feels like an overseas holiday. Delicious food and drink, helpful service. The kind of place you'd bring a friend from out of town. Will be back!”

“Ordered a chai latte and chocolate cake and was very impressed! Chocolate cake was a generous serving, moist, and came with a dollop of sprinkle-topped cream :) And the chai was the best I've had at a cafe within memory - not too sweet, and strong flavour. Cafe was quiet but had nice seating area - Highly recommend”

“This was my second time in Ora bistro through First Table booking. The food was excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The staff were extremely friendly and brought out the dish quite quickly. We will definitely be back and try the other options on their menu.”

“I’ve had many kabab and this is my favorite. Generous portion and vege are very freshly prepared. Service always soooo friendly and reasonably priced.”

“Lovely spot, first time here and came on a whim after walking aimlessly with the wife. Cute spot, vibe was great, super quiet and homey. Food was super tasty, we ordered the meat platter for two, this was the perfect amount of food for two, didn't leave feeling heavy and wanting to go for a sleep. The dips and flat bread worked so well with the dish, we are already planning our next trip back :) Coffee was made very well, we love our coffee and this just hit the spot. Keep up the good work this spot rocks! Although prices are a little on the steap side.. the service and quality of the foods sure make up for it, very happy customer here”

“I love The Patriot, it’s easily my second-favourite spot to enjoy a cold, refreshing beverage on a sunny afternoon. (First place goes to my lounge when the All Blacks are on.) I’m a proud regular, usually popping in once or twice a week to take advantage of a good 2 for 1 deal and some great food. But for the love of all things holy, please don’t change the rib sauce. I’m not sure if it was just tonight and my taste buds were having an identity crisis, but something tasted different. Those ribs are usually perfection and I frequently advertise them as the best ribs on the shore, so if there’s been a tweak to that glorious sauce, I’m begging you, bring it back!”

“Fast and yum and great staff ! Fairly priced. Specials sounds good. I be back for them :)”

“had some lovely vegan pizzas, beautiful wine and a lovely chat with the owner. Best pizza crust, you will eat more than you intended! We highly recommend.”

“Clean store friendly owner and staff. Great food highly recommended”

“This place is a gem, open late, humble pricing, always get my money's worth, nice people - worth checking the specials board, $17 for a full tandoori chicken was an absolute steal. The naans are always decadent too. Thanks guys!”

“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 ❤️”

“Excellent burgers. Slightly oversalted fries but the burger was spot on. Crispy edges with a juicy center, great balance of flavors, and the bun held everything together without getting soggy. The best burger in devonport”

“Loved the taste, could better the portion size. We ordered Cauliflower crisp (must try) Mysore Masala dosa Masala dosa Matka chai (must try) Veg noodles”

“Had my mom's 60th Birthday there. Its nice for a small intimate celebration. The food was lovely and was fresh, unlike some places you can tell its been in the warmer for a long time. Oysters were nice and fresh! The service was amazing! They topped up everytime a dish was low. Thank you so much!”

“Discovered this gem while in AKL on business, staying at the Heartland Airport Hotel. 5 min walk (free off street parking available side of cafe) extensive menu, clean & tidy. Everything made in-house except the pies. I ordered from the cabinet “to go” a large savoury scone, raspberry lamington, low carb vege frittata with side salad & coffee. Covered lunch & dinner all for $25! Tasty food, good coffee, all staff welcoming & delightful service from Morris - will return on my next business trip.”

“Incredible food. Ever since trying their ricotta ravioli I've been thinking about it at least once a week. Their entire menu sounds amazing and their cocktails are super reasonably priced (and taste great). Fantastic service too. Can't fault a thing.”

“Absolutely loved my experience at Glen Eden Kebab Shop! I ordered the lamb kebab and it was so juicy, filling, and definitely worth it. The staff were super kind and funny, which made the atmosphere really welcoming. Service was quick as well — didn’t have to wait long at all. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Great find in Manukau. Great food. Excellent coffee. Friendly service. Really appreciated not being faced with the same old, same old that so many cafes offer these days where you can tell, being a retired cafe owner, where the product has come from. Great selection of fresh and well presented cabinet food and nice brunch and lunch menu selection as well so you pick quick offerings on the go or to linger over a beautifully made coffee ☕️”

“Despite the limitation in the dinning space the food served was palatable and the customer service was commendable as the staff is submissive and full of offerings . Further, the desert is relishing .”

“Good food, w ehad set menu dinner. Fresh sashimi, sushi, beef tataki so good. Chicken teriyaki had good flavor and wings were crispy”

“Depending on who you get if you get the grumpy ol Chinese lady she throws off attitude but I think that's just her as for the food it always taste delicious and is freshly cooked all the workers apart from the above are nice and always offer me a rewards card they have tables to sit and it can be accessible via sliding doors if you are wheelchair bound.”

“Professional sushi food ~I pretty love this restaurant sushi ~and staff are warmth ~ best of the Auckland ~I will be come back again !”

“We've been ordering from Mini Siam for years. The food is consistently amazing and the staff are super friendly! I have an allergy to sesame and they always take such great care with my food. Highly recommend!”

“A truly delicious meal. Generous portion sizes, dishes had a great depth of flavor and the team were very attentive and accommodating of our young family. We will be back and would recommend to all to try!”

“I ordered bibimbap as a healthy meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, just like the ones I had in Korea, was well-balanced and neatly presented. The bulgogi was served separately, allowing me to fully enjoy its own flavor, which made the dining experience more enjoyable and enhanced my appetite. I would love to visit again.”

“Top notch burger. I had the Three Fat Pigs. Great flavour with the various pork elements. My photo doesn't really do it justice. The chips were OK, probably 3/5, nothing too special. $29 for burger, chips and drink. On the high side, but it was a more expensive burger choice, so it could've been cheaper with other. Not great for dining in, clearly setup more with takeaway in mind. Overall, a great burger, and solid all round experience, so I'll definitely be back.”

“Excellent food, lovely family business, the only place locally where we buy fish & chips plus Chinese food”

“Been a fan of this place for years the music on most nights is great hidden gem is upstairs to the right of the toilets along with 3 other cool spaces to share a beer with your mates never once have I seen any drama door staff do a great job. Safe place to get a glow on”

“THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IVE EVER HAD!!! Absolutely exceptional service and food. Very fairly priced and flavours to die for! If you’re visiting Auckland, this place is a must! Absolutely worth every cent!”
