Food establishment in Auckland

“I've been to this cafe a few times before, but I stopped coming because I felt like the portions were getting smaller and the staff seemed unenthusiastic. I recently heard it changed owners and wanted to check it out. I wasn't disappointed. The staff were very warm and friendly, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion size was generous—I usually can't finish a plate this big. Of course, this is a new start with the new ownership, and I hope they can keep it up. All in all, there are so many cafes in Auckland, and not every one makes you want to go back.”

“Loved the food, loved the service! We went pretty late around 11pm but was still people there dining. The fries here are so good!! Absolutely loved it here.”

“Good food, good ambience and the service was 10/10. Would definitely come back again. Parking is easy and it’s nice and close to the beach + main area where you can grab dessert or other things!”

“Great authentic Thai food, and friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an awesome dining experience!”

“I was a regular at this place since 2017 as a chippy at Jutland Rd till now. Throughout I had always enjoyed the wok fried taste. However, around 2020, The Gospel of the Nazarenes (dispelled as a recent work, of course, lies upon lies) came to our awareness and in it, it spoke of "Jesus" being kind to all animals, no, really, even fish. So I gave it a try and after 3 months (Since been a dead body eater for a lifetime), completely off meat then. Our work performance increased and blood circulation freed up due to all the animal fat clogged in our blood veins now gone. Tonight I went to them during a quieter time and bought my own veges and they fried it in their traditional HK styled taste, I just ordered a Singaporean Fried noodles and asked for non egg noodle* plus a bunch of vegetables bought in a box, it is very good and would come back again during a quieter time (*also clogs your arteries up, resulting in early heart attack, hence people now wonder why are people even young dying so early, clutching at their hearts). So if you are too tired or can't be bothered washing dishes, come to these guys with your box of health during their downtime. These are the information and findings of mine, do what you will with it.”

“Was our go to Chinese food spot while we visited Auckland for a couple of weeks. Food was tasty and the shop is clean. Seemed a bit pricey at first but after eating around the city it seemed quite reasonable with the portions we were getting. Would recommend.”

“Such amazing service !! I was greeted by Will who was super engaging and friendly. Also helped me throughthe menu. Rare these days to get such incredible service food was great also highly recommend .. :).”

“Was in need of a big breakfast as it was brunch time for me. The service was impeccable, the food not only was appealing but delicious and the portion was great. Definitely a treat, highly recommended for delicious food and atmosphere. Thank you, love the environment use provide.”

“As a Punjabi, I’m usually quite particular about North Indian food, but Delhi Heights in Auckland genuinely impressed me. The flavors felt authentic and truly reminded me of home. The dishes were perfectly spiced—not overpowering—the atmosphere was lively, and the staff were warm and welcoming. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.”

“Ordered a tarakihi and scoop of chips. It was bigger than expected. The fish was fresh and the batter was awesome. Service was great as well.”

“we tried this place first time approx 1 month ago. Ever since the first visit, this place became our weekly routine. It's that good. Both dinner and brunch menu is excellent, super friendly service and very kids friendly (my daughter love their kids combo). I'm sure we will continue visit here more. Perhaps the only complaint is we wish there's more mocktail selection for the non-alcoholic drinkers :)”

“Just a fabulous, clean and tidy environment to relax and enjoy the well maintained garden outside. I love visiting because the staff are consistently friendly, welcoming and the fantastic range of beverages and food keep me and my friends coming back for more. Highly recommended.”

“Me and my colleagues had a birthday dinner here, and it was such a lovely evening. The food was amazing and authentic Thai surely, I want to confirm it as a Thai person. The place was nice and crowded, so I’d definitely recommend you to book a reservation in advance if you don’t wanna wait a long time for the table. The staffs were nice and understood that we did truly want Thai food in a Thai version for Thai people, not like some restaurants where they water down and make it too sweet to satisfy those who are not Thai and cannot handle the spicy food.”

“Probably the best eggs benedict we’ve ever had! The staff were super friendly, and we even won a gift voucher from their scratch card — we’ll definitely be back!”

“Once again, we had a delicious lunch here. This time, we ordered the Chicken Souvlaki. Absolutely delicious!”

“Best chicken fried rice ever! Been coming here for years”

“I think I’ve visited every Sal’s Pizza store in Auckland and can say hand on heart that Highland Park have the best pizza, the bases are perfect with a little bit of crunch and all their pizzas are a home run. Great staff and service, try the buffalo chicken pizza next time you’re there and thank me later. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“1st time eating here and 1st impression is great. Love the breaded chicken pasta with pesto cream!❤️❤️❤️”

“Place of good food with nice environment and one side lake. There are hips of car parking. There entrance are very wheelchair and strollers friendly. They have lots of entrance and entry options. This is the great place for buffet or party or conference with staying in there hotels. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. They just cleaned the tables within seconds. You don’t worry about used plates. All staffs are very responsive. They will give you super first for your services.”

“Best burgerfuel expirence yet! The burgers were so fresh and made to perfect and the guy working there was so kind and friendly 10/10”

“Great value for money!! $12 for 12 wontons and 2 potato fritter!!! Fat and juicy wontons Fr. best takeaways in ellerslie deserves more business. Go to Friday night dinner.”

“Heard so much about the Steak & Guinness Pie that we had to try it out. Hubby had the large one, me the small. Both did not disappoint and both were ample servings. Flakey puff pastry sealed over the top of a bowl of steaming hot steak filling, served with crispy beer battered chips and a green salad. Tasty and very well-priced. Great pub, awesome staff.”

“A great place to have a relaxing breakfast! Good presentation and even better tasting! Coffee come out quickly and so do the meals! All in the relaxing environment next to the Lloyd Elsmore parks.”

“We booked a table via First Table, so was able to get a good deal for a table of 4. We ordered the Pan-Roasted Lamb Rump and Butcher's Cut Steak. The food came out quickly and it was very tasty. Basalt is nicely layed out, with one corner for dining, another area where you can watch live sport and have drinks. As well as an upstairs area with music”

“Authentic Japanese ramen although I’ve never been but imagined this is what it would be like. As soon as we stepped in greeted by all staff including the chef’s. Service was attentive and food services quick. Food was really delicious and couldn’t fault the entire experience.”

“My daughter and I went for dinner tonight and we’ll definitely being going back. Each meal was well presented and delicious! Tastier than other Japanese restaurants I’ve been to. There is so much more on the menu I want to try. Was lovely just the two of us, but can imagine even better with a larger group and sharing more meals. Our meals came out with some time between them so I did get dinner envy of others I saw. But when ours arrived it was totally worth the wait. You def need to try this one. My latest east Auckland fav.”

“Lovely staff, delicious food. We usually go for the biryani and butter chicken, and it never disappoint, it is such a treat! Highly recommend if you're after tasty and spicy (optional) indian cuisine.”

“Had an awesome time here! The staff were super friendly and on point, the service couldn’t have been better. The food was fantastic—full of flavour and beautifully presented. Definitely a place we’re going back to!”

“Tried Blossom Court for the first time and was really impressed! We ordered the Guluyok rice, prawn noodle soup, and pan mee soup. The flavour was rich, and truly authentic, just like what you’d get back home in Malaysia. + they added the pork lard in the soup absolutely boosts the flavor of the soup. The Malaysian boss Ah Ming was also very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back soon, their laksa noodle is next on my list!”

“This place is truly a gem. Service was excellent, atmosphere was really cute, and happy hour prices were super reasonable. But the best part was the pizza. Truly the best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Wish we were locals--we'd be there constantly!”
