Restaurant in Auckland

“Steak & chips was interesting to had - love it! Love the menu and atmosphere, ordered brown butter coffee (not my regular) as was curious about it, taste great! 5-star for me definitely recommended!”

“My fourth visit here, this time with family to try the spring menu. We had the pear and honey special with focaccia, lamb shoulder pappardelle and the cacio e pepe. Everything was so yum, but the pappardelle was the standout for me. The staff were, as always, warm and helpful with great recommendations from the specials and wine menu. Always a great experience, and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s on the next seasonal menu!”

“Excellent service and food. Meals came out quite quickly. The big breakfast had generous portions. Their hash browns are probably the highlight of the experience. The oats were wholesome and vegan options available for those who require it. The menu is limited but excellent. Coffee goes down just as well as the food. The freshly squeezed apple juice is perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone after a fussy breakfast.”

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Mr. Morris and absolutely loved the experience! The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. I especially enjoyed the sauces, which were incredibly tasty and elevated each dish. The cocktails and wines were also fantastic, creative, balanced, and just the right touch for a special celebration. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, such a memorable evening. Highly recommend for a refined yet relaxed dining experience!”

“Regarded as one of the top three Italian restaurants in North Shore, this Trattoria does not fail to impress. I recently brought my parents for the first time here, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The spacious dining area, complete with offerings like gelato, formaggio, salumi, and il pasticcino, sets the stage for an authentic Italian feast. The service, professional and like a well-oiled machine, only adds to the charm. We indulged in the Leek and Potato Soup, Capresina, Spaghetti Alle Vongole, Tiramisu, and Tiramisu Eclair. The Capresina was a standout, generously topped with premium Burrata and Parma Ham. The Spaghetti Alle Vongole was a revelation—fresh pasta, perfectly cooked clams, and a symphony of flavours that made it the best I’ve ever had. To top it off, their Tiramisu is flawless. The prices are more than fair for the quality and craftsmanship of the dishes. Practicalities? Plenty of parking and a grocery shop next door make it a win-win. My advice? Just go. You won’t regret it.”

“Steakhouse Jue Jue is an absolute gem! The steak here is cooked to perfection, juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The unique mayo combo they serve with it is a game-changer; it adds such a creamy, tangy kick that elevates every bite. I can’t get enough of it! The Japanese lady running the show works so hard, and her dedication shines through in every dish and the warm, welcoming vibe of the place. Highly recommend this spot for an unforgettable steak experience! - あかりさん”

“The service is really good and I enjoy the hot tea. Hope to visit there with friends next time”

“The best Malaysian restaurant in city by far. Have been coming here for last 18 years and have never been disappointed. Angie and her team are awesome. Keep up your great work.”

“Got the Beam Chicken Benedict. It was a great portion size (not too much, not too little)! The chicken was tender and moist, eggs poached perfectly and the spring onion pancake was a tasty refreshing twist on the typical eggs benny! Coffee was great too. Service was warm, friendly, inviting and prompt. Highly recommend!”

“Kebab Serai in Remuera truly offers the best kebabs in Auckland. The combination of succulent chicken served over aromatic rice, accompanied by a fresh and crisp salad, is nothing short of divine. …A special mention goes to the baklava, a dessert that never disappointed. was impressed by the passionate food of the young owner from Afghanistan. I am very satisfied with the price, quality, and quantity. It’s the best kebab in this area. The future of this friendly and lively young man looks very bright.””

“One of the best Indian Restaurant in west Auckland. You don’t find the authentic Indian taste everywhere in Auckland but Shahi is a must visit for all the food lovers. Amazing food with great service from the team . The owners are very welcoming. It’s my go to place every weekend . You must try the Palak Paneer/Veg Kofta /Veg Biryani and Momos they are very good . I am a vegetarian but my friends have tried lamb biryani and curry and they like it a lot.”

“One of the best authentic Napolitan pizza/calzzone you can have in Auckland. We ordered the Diego Armando pizza and a Napolitano Calzzone. AMAZING. 10/10”

“A truly exceptional fine dining experience. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted with rich layers of flavor and beautiful presentation. The service was warm, attentive, and professional throughout. An unforgettable lunch, prefect for special occasions or anyone seeking culinary artistry in Auckland.”

“Father’s Day 2025 celebration was had here, the place was bustling with diners enjoying themselves with food and drinks served by wonderful wait staff, prices are reasonable and quantity is satisfying as is the presentation and taste. We had a small wait which was acceptable, due to the number of happy clients! I would wholeheartedly recommend Cafe Lincoln for a nice friendly experience! Arthur C. Charlton west Auckland NZ”

“Amazing tacos! Great tortillas and perfect amount of meat for each taco. The Mango agua Fresca was just right not too sweet and very refreshing. Will definitely be back for more”

“Bar Celeste has become a bit of a K Rd institution. Food excellent - contemporary European, fabulous wine and attentive service.”

“Best ramen around, lovely staff, no complaints at all, very well priced.”

“Culprit had been on our must-try list for a while, thanks to its reputation for contemporary New Zealand cuisine. We finally got the chance to experience it for our wedding anniversary dinner—and it did not disappoint! We opted for the seasonal menu with wine pairings and couldn’t resist adding a Culprit classic as well. Every bite was a delight. Truly loved it! The restaurant’s soft music, stylish décor, and gentle lighting created the perfect romantic and relaxing atmosphere. A big thank you to the professional and friendly staff who made our evening even more special. Keep up the amazing work! Culprit has officially earned a spot as one of our favourite date night spots in Auckland CBD.”

“Went on a whim for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. We sat at the bar with the chefs, who were happy to explain things. Great service, super tasty food (the anchovy is unlike what we usually get here in NZ), and a reasonable Champagne price (for a restaurant). Menu is seasonal but see pics for the food we enjoyed—lighting wasn’t the best where we were, but you get the idea. We’ll be back!”

“Our favourite local! We’ve started visiting a couple times a week now as we love the friendly environment and amazing food and drinks. I’d highly recommend visiting you’ll become a regular too! ☺️”

“Great food. they accommodate the spicy level. Hardly seen in Western cafes or restos where they feed the whole staff, they should.”

“Spice Club Indian Restaurant Great service and friendly staff. Made me feel very welcome. Highly recommend! Maria ❤️ Auckland”

“This restaurant was excellent. My wife and I came here on a rainy Thursday evening after work, it had been on my watchlist for a while. We didn’t have a reservation, but luckily we were able to get a good table. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered two of their signature dishes: the pineapple prawn red curry and the prawn and chicken Pad Thai. The red curry was served inside a whole pineapple, which was both impressive and delicious. It had big, juicy prawns and the balance of spicy curry and sweet pineapple was perfect, definitely well deserved as a signature dish. The Pad Thai was also great, flavourful and satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, with just the right level of noise to feel lively but not overwhelming. Parking was a bit tricky since the shared lot behind the restaurant is narrow and limited, but it was worth the effort. Highly recommend this place, we absolutely loved it!”

“This isn't your usual burger joint; I'd describe it as a more upscale option compared to the cheaper alternatives. Having sampled most of their burgers, I can vouch for their deliciousness. The chicken raptor stands out as my favorite with its perfect blend of onion rings and fried chicken. If you're in the area or passing through, it's definitely worth a stop. They serve promptly, and the fries complement the meal excellently.”

“Really great food. Satay Tofu and Boa Burger were delicious. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. So delicious”

“This Japanese restaurant in Newmarket is such a delightful gem, offering you delicious menu with high quality ingredients with authentic flavours. The chef is amazing, she cooks succulent chicken with a healthy mix of tsukemono and options to choose purple rice. Even their miso soup comes with chopped tofu. They change their tsukemono on different days. So far the karaage chicken and teriyaki chicken are delicious, feels like a hearty Japanese home cooking. Give them a whirl — just across the Newmarket train station!”

“The toasted chicken club is a regular favourite, and I love seeing creative coffee art”

“Our first time here and we were very pleased with the ambience, food, staff and prices. The place filled up quickly with customers, but it didn't slow down the dishing out of food. The owner was walking around talking to the patrons and the wait staff were quick in attending to tables and bringing out orders. It was very very windy and cold outside, but with the windows closed and the heat pumps on, it very pleasant inside. Will definitely visit again, but maybe in summer when the weather permits us to sit outside and enjoy the beach!”

“Sure!

From the moment the kebabs hit the table, you know you're in for something special. The meat is tender, juicy, and perfectly spiced—clearly marinated with care and grilled to perfection. Each bite is packed with flavor, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. But it's not just the kebabs that shine here.

“I love their roast, it’s a must-visit spot on the coast. I’m from the shore and would happily drive there just for a roast. The pricing is fair, and the meat and vegetables are of high quality. 5 stars :)”
