French restaurant in Auckland

“A Cozy Experience at Ima Cuisine… Ima Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm, cozy vibe and lovely lighting set the perfect mood for dinner. We started with the mezze platter…The pillowy, fresh pita paired beautifully with the creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and smooth labneh. The pickled veggies added the perfect punch, and the falafel was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—some of the best falafels I’ve had in a while. For mains, we shared the halloumi and chicken along with a variety of sides. I’m already planning my next visit—especially during the day so I can have their famous hot cross buns! If you're looking for comforting, authentic Middle Eastern flavours in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, Ima Cuisine is a must-visit. Highly recommend :)”

“The Albany is the quintessential kiwi pub, but with next level food. I had the surf and turf on Turkish bread. The 200g scotch filet and real calamari, muscles and prawns melted in the mouth.”

“Celebrating our lovely daughter’s 6th birthday—and her very first birthday party—at this restaurant was the best decision we could have made! From the beginning, Rachel, the owner, was incredibly helpful, patiently answering all our questions and guiding us through the party planning process. The staff was beyond kind, making sure everything ran smoothly. The delicious buffet for adults, the fantastic kids’ menu, and the amazing outdoor playground made this place truly special. Everything was just perfect for us! A huge thank you to the staff for warmly accommodating 20 excited kids! If anyone is looking for the perfect venue for a child’s birthday party, I highly recommend this place!”

“Ok...I have to admit, it was not my intention to come here. I was really looking for The Grove and since they were closed this was right next door and up stairs. What an adorable place with a variety of fresh foods, filtered water, charming ambiance and a full bar of coffee, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. No AC but the seating area is charming overlooking the near by park and church. And did I mention free wifi.”

“I just came in an got a bacon and egg quiche that was the best thing I have eaten to this day. 10 out of 10 highly recommend”

“A wonderful Turkish influenced cafe. The Baklava latte was spot on. Paired with chilli scrambled eggs worked well with flavours. Loved the whipped feta beetroot that came with the smashed avocado. They also have a separate kids menu. Our table host Ted was pleasant and gave us a good experience. Beautiful morning wonderfully plated food. Even the butter on toast had a special wrap.”

“Delicious eggs on sourdough. Just perfect and great value. I couldn't stop looking at the cabinet food though - wow!! It all looks absolutely amazing, delicious and wish I could have come back for morning tea... and lunch... and afternoon tea! Everything was wonderfully presented as well. What a great spot!”

“Juicy and delicious chicken burger. Excellent service.”

“If you're looking for a good takeaway place, look no further because this place is simply the best. Delicious food with a wide range of options. Every dollar spent is always worth it.”

“Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Hubby had the big brekkie and I had the omelet with tomato, mushroom and ham. Both meals came with a 5 grain toast and we had a large mocha each. 100% the most delicious breakfast we have had in a café for a while. The food was so tasty and the coffee was great. We want to know where to get that 5 grain bread.... that was really good. Thanks team, we will see you again.”

“The best cheap food on Rosebank. Lovely owners. Bacon and egg rolls are great. All the usual lasagne squares, fish, chips etc done well.”

“I ate for the 2nd time and was again very impressed. They will load your kabeb with meat, salads n sauces, and justify the price they ask. Very good and kind staff. Love the food and owners. Highly recommended Chicken Kebab”

“Had chips in the middle of the night, just spot on. Made crispy as requested. Also chips are fried in separate oil so they tasted very authentic. Store was very tidy and had option to sit as well. Guy serving was also very kind!”

“Food quality is absolutely amazing!! They cook it when you order so its all very fresh and tasty. Definitely recommmed adding the honey butter sauce to the chicken, its a game changer!! Service is 10/10, the parking spots on the other hand could be better, not much options besides the main road but otherwise, 10/10 restaurant!!”

“A generous serving of delicious food! We had a roast meal each (pork, beef, lamb) that was tender, tasty, and not too salty. Allergy information was posted by the counter, which is very helpful. Fast and friendly service.”

“Great place if you want a quick bite. Ordered a chicken burger that was hot and fresh. Good taste.”

“The best place to come have a late night feed! No matter where in Auckland I am I’ll make the drive to Rewa for the food bar. Luau, Wontons, Steak Deluxe sandwich and a milkshake is my go to. Been coming here since I was a kid which is over 12 years now. Everything is great from the prices to the wide range of selections to the taste! One of the SPOTS! Iykyk”

“What ever we've ordered has been tasty and great value, from fish and chips,to green Thai curry, chow mains and honey chicken, best place to go, highly recommend them.”

“Can’t go wrong with Mobil Corner. Best fish in chips in east auckland and the chicken fried rice is 10/10”

“Beautiful fish and chips! Best fish in chips in Auckland. Great customer service and fast to cook. Bought some for lunch break and bought the kids dinner because i live out west. Got to try their food its truly the best from the west to South Auckland Papakura. I think i saw them on the tv series Kura on tvnz.”

“Absolutely delicious food and decent service. The food couldn’t have been better absolutely chefs kiss as always! Service was good though was a bit disappointed that when the waitress poured our water she spilt quite a bit over the table and said she’d be back to clean it up but never did so we ended up using a serviette. Atmosphere was nice. Overall a really good experience. Definitely recommend if you want good food! Just bear in mind that it is pricey”

“I went to Caffe E Cucina for a tinder date (which went pretty well, I think she likes me!) for lunch, and had a great time. We ordered different kinda small plates from the prima section of the menu and shared those which worked well as we weren't super hungry. The service was good, and prices not toooo bad. The food was definitely the highlight (after the company) with everything cooked to perfection. Seared tuna blew my mind.”

“Great food and service! And Ainsley, our server, was terrific! I would highly recommend Bella Cucina!!”

“-Very yummy food -Big portions -Reasonable prices -Prepared in 10 min -Easy parking (right by the store) -Nice and respectful staff -Lovely music (I was sitting there while my food got ready) I’ll definitely go back there! The photo is: Vegetable Korma with rice and naan bread Thank you :-)”

“Not our first time at Elmos, and once again it didn’t disappoint. We were lucky enough to catch the last round of truffle season ,the dishes were absolutely amazing. The service was 5-star, attentive and friendly throughout. The environment is cozy, surrounded by beautiful paintings and stylish décor.”

“Absolutely love the food here! I always get the quesadillas and eat it all up every time. The service was also great, the staff were attentive and fast. The interior is nice and clean, just in the day there are a lot of wasps inside especially in the sunny areas near the windows.”

“So I was invited to do a collab on a collab between Gen Z influencers @wezgudinc (on IG and YT go follow and subscribe) and Flaming Onion Browns Bay. They are reviewing the best cheeseburger in town. The branch in Birkenhead is phenomenal cos I have had food from there during lockdown and it’s still memorable! So we rock up to the Browns Bay branch and let me tell you they do not disappoint! Sham was on duty that day and he made a platter of delectable food! The cheeseburger was spot on! And the loaded fries were enthused by the pulled pork on top. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside! Totally worth the visit and cost. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“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.”

“Great food and friendly service. We walked in for dinner and we were accordmodated with booking for dinner. Group of 4. Everyone enjoy thier food. Fresh and favor full. Good portion size. Will definitely have to return.”

“Booked via First Table, so received 50% off meals, which made the value extremely good!”
