Restaurant in Auckland

“We recently had my son’s birthday celebration catered by Bhojan Indian Restaurant, and I must say it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious – every single dish was rich in authentic Indian flavors and loved by all our guests. Many of them personally complimented us on the catering and asked about the restaurant because they enjoyed the food so much. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and quantity provided, which made it even better. The staff, along with the owner, were extremely helpful, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the function. From setup to service, their professionalism really stood out. If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine with excellent service and great value, I highly recommend Bhojan Indian Restaurant for any event or celebration. They truly made our son’s birthday memorable.”

“New fave Chinese restaurant in Browns bay. Skewers were moist and delicious. Xiaolongbao was surprisingly very good (much better than many north shore places) but the scallion noodles was the best. Highly recommend”

“Unbelievable - the flavours in each dish were just amazing - and the wine list was exceptionally well priced and wonderfully in tune with the food. Mulan is in a new location - but it’s the same top quality food. Family friendly - and homely - yet sophisticated & exciting. Thoroughly recommend it.”

“I had an amazing experience at Everest Dine Restaurant, and I want to specially appreciate Pawan for his excellent service. The momos were absolutely delicious—perfectly steamed, juicy, and full of authentic Nepali flavour. The Nepali Thali was outstanding as well, with a great variety of dishes, balanced spices, and a truly homely taste. Pawan was extremely polite, attentive, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. His warm hospitality added so much to the overall dining experience. Highly recommend Everest Dine for anyone looking for genuine Nepali food and great service. Will definitely be visiting again!”

“We had an absolutely delicious dinner. Katsu chicken is so crispy. Love the small dishes with Tempura and the presentation. The lady staff has warmest smile! Sad to see the restaurant is not busy. Maybe they can try to put some photos outside the restaurant or on the menu so the customers know what they offer.”

“It is a cozy restaurant with lovely staffs and I had very nice lunch time there. The pizza made from daily fresh dough，so it had an elastic、 crispy and tender crust，aromatic toppings. They use their original in-house sauce with rich taste. These are completely different from pre-finished meals which are served in other restaurants. Meatballs、BBQ Bacon pizza and Risotto di Pollo are amazed me，if you come here you should try them.”

“Never have to think twice about going back here for authentic Thai food, and love the traditional cute water cups. A lot of decor and tablewares remind me of home and traveling days in Thailand.”

“Always a great experience. My favourite is the steak with bone marrow crumble, it's a must try if you love steak. The plates are best shared and no matter what you order each dish will be an experience in itself. Being asian I care less about the decor when the food is this good, but the decor is inviting and relaxed.”

“We just had a special dinner here for two. A beautiful setting, the most fantastic service and delicious food! We especially asked in advance if the pork belly was on the menu and yes it was. Divine! Fish of the day was tuna and that was also absolutely divine. A side of yummy vegetables capped it off. Thank you Team Vin Alto!”

“nice food great service! really enjoyed the beach view with authentic indian food! will bring family and friends here next time!”

“Highly recommended. Any new Indian restaurant I go to, I always ask for a hot butter chicken. This is how I benchmark. Sangram came in with one of the best butter chickens I have had in a long time! I always order a Peshwari Naan as well. Even though the Peshwari Naan was not on the menu, they made one for me! Impressed. The butter chicken and the naan were the highlight. What they can improve on….the mixed platter. It was a mixed review. The chicken tikka very tasty, samosa was ok and lamb was good. The onion bhaji was rock hard. Overall a $13 dish not a $26 dish. Come to Sangram for the butter chicken and a peshwari naan! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Came for lunch, good parking spot right outside. Our server was very polite and friendly. We ordered filetto, risotto e fungi, and tagliatelle bolognase. Nice big portions and absolutely tasty! Eye fillet was cooked as requested. For dessert we had cheesecake and profitroles which were nice. Very nice and clean restaurant and toilets, nice moody ambiance. Definitely will return.”

“We’ve been to this restaurant twice now, and each time has been an amazing experience. The food is absolutely top-notch and definitely among the best Italian cuisine we’ve had. The Limone and focaccia were real standouts. The ambience is cozy, and the staff are so warm and welcoming. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Italian food. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”

“I won't give a 5/5. Instead a 6 or even a 7 out of 5 for the food and service. Great food, especially those beer battered oysters- oh wow. And the great service, simply awesome.”

“That was really good. Fresh, simple, and full of flavour. The chef did an awesome job. This place never disappoints.”

“We absolutely love the pizzas, the base is so crispy and not doughy. The flavours are beautiful. The Quattro is my favourite. Hands down the best pizza in Auckland. The smoked chicken pasta is also really tasty and authentic. Nice work team!”

“Two years ago, Spiga was the place where we had our first date. Now, as a married couple, we returned for lunch, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and exceptional service made it a truly special experience. Fungi Pizza was absolutely incredible—hands down the best fungi pizza in Auckland! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the mushrooms were so fresh and flavorful. We were so impressed that we asked the staff where they sourced their mushrooms. They were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything in detail, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to come back and create more beautiful memories here.”

“Just ordered takeaway for my dinner. LOVE IT! Spicy Crispy Pork dish and Chicken Pad Thai, the food were flavoursome ,and good portion size.”

“I just finished going up mount Eden and was hungry. Found this place nearby. It's a fairly small place. Seats about 25. Nice, subtle decor. Got the steamed duck #38, with coconut rice. I was hoping for thai tea but they had run out. It took about a half hour to be served. I'm going to assume it was made to order, it was that good. Nicely presented in a shaped dish. I recommend Basil Thai, make reservations!”

“They have seating available for couples to large groups and it is best to book a table. More of a Thai fusion restaurant, but the flavours are really tasty and presented well. The deep fried whole barramundi and BBQ beef short rib are highly recommended. They also have kids menu and a good selection of cocktails.”

“Came to Cookes for a nice girls night dinner and it was incredible, every mouthful was so flavourful, highly recommend the scallop entree! Rachara and Arber were absolutely wonderful!”

“I'm so glad we tried Hayami. The food was excellent along with the service. The food must have arrived at the table in less than 10mins after ordering. Reasonably priced good quality wine too.. The decor inside gave a real Japanese feel, which just added to everything. It was one of the best Japanese I've had in Auckland.”

“Gorgeous spot tucked on the top end of town. I can honestly the best sushi I’ve had in New Zealand and even rivalling tastes from my travels to Japan. Pricing was well and truly fair for the quality and the staff there were so joyful. Can’t wait to come back ❤️”

“Beautiful meal with fresh ingredients well price with lovely service atmosphere. Thank you”

“One of the best Malaysian restaurants in Auckland! The hainan chicken is very fresh and the tofu is very tender and soft on the inside.”

“We got dinner and a couple of drinks each and WOW, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. We were served by a super friendly lady, who seems to really care about this place and giving people a great experience. The food was outstanding. Huge portions! Steak cooked to perfection and the garlic bread was banging. We are very very happy we chose this place for our staycation and we will be back, thank you guys :)”

“Attentive customer service and wonderful food! We enjoyed the kebab Biriyani the most, it was delicious!”

“Surprisingly beautiful Italian restaurant tucked away in the gardens. Authentic Italian cuisine and such amazing wait staff, very attentive and friendly, always makes a huge difference when dining out. The food was beautiful, and decent servings that please a big appetite.”

“This restaurant has the most freshly cooked meal’s without any preservatives and msg. Their Briyani was first class and my kid loved the cheese naan with lamb curry ❤️ Keshab was awesome with his hospitality and service towards customers even it’s my first time here this beautiful service and delicious food making up to visit this restaurant frequently in future. Thank you for the good food and service”
