Restaurant in Whangaparāoa

“This was the first time i have been here. I had the green curry and pad thai, it was absolutely delicious , both full of flavour and lots of chicken. The lady serving im guessing the owner was very friendly and definitely had me leaving thinking you now have a new customer I can't speak more highly of this place, highly recommend”

“Got take aways for six people. Yummy food with a great range of spice levels. Was ready on time and a great temperature. Will definitely be getting taken away again!”

“Ravinder the owner was a lovely guy. Very hospitable and friendly . Food was good . Best Indian I’ve had in NZ so far whilst on my travels .”

“I am only marking 'atmosphere' down because our table of 4 was the only one occupied. We had 4 different meals and all were delicious. This restaurant deserves to be better supported. The decor has recently been revamped and is really nice. The menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced. There is also a BYO option for the budget conscious. I had the Chicken Rogan Josh... superb!”

“SCORE: 85/100 I saw that Due Amici had a lot of positive reviews in Google, so I gave this a go. Booked a day before for two and had no problems. They were extremely busy, which reflects their ratings clearly. Had their signature pizza, which was great and a pasta dish I forget the name of. Both were great. I would definitely go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend.”

“If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to. Whether you love indian food, or you haven’t tried yet, this is a must restaurant to go. The food is amazing with fresh ingredients, cooked on the spot and portions are above generous. I love indian food and this one of the best indian restaurants I’ve been to i a very long time. Also the atmosphere is nice, calm with a super friendly staff. Thank you!”

“Best sushi place on the coast period. Nice selection and great value, staff are friendly and they keep the place very tidy. My only gripe is that they tend to stop making fresh sushi around about 3pm, Fair enough but would be great if I were able to get sushi after that time”

“This is the best Japanese restaurant on the north shore and that I have ever been to. The food is exceptionally good. The service is consistently wonderful and they always make sure you feel welcomed and happy. The staff are all amazing and the store is consistently clean and tidy. I love this store and the lovely staff who make my day every time I walk in. TLDR: Great food, Great cleanliness, Amazing service. 10/10, would give more stars if possible.”

“We've been here twice in the last month, and had a great meal each time. The new owners are really friendly and nice, and the bar has a nice coast atmoshere. On the Halloween night they had a dress up session with prizes, and Nelly was perfect as an Angel. The food is all great. I highly recommend the pizzas and the steak. Both are excellent. If I had to make one improvement suggestion, it would be to perhaps get a a wider range of craft beers. But generally this is a great place that I highly recommend.”

“We had a family Christmas lunch today at the Archer, the food was fantastic as was the service. Extensive menu has something for everyone, including the youngest member of our group (Mr Nearly Two). I happily recommend The Archer to anyone who is looking for a nice, quiet place for lunch during the week.”

“I absolutely love it at 2Spoons, the gluten free savoury muffins and freshly baked cinnamon brioche are to die for. They make great coffee too. The staff are really friendly and accommodating.”

“An awesome cafe with great food and coffee. This is definitely our go to cafe in the area and we are never disappointed. The friendly, cheerful service matches the high standards of the food and drinks.”

“Loved this place… such a hidden gem , great range of cocktails and Asian fusion food is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely and friendly staff great view if you choose the right table. Anyone wanna enjoy water views with great food and drinks should definitely come here.”

“The food was fantastic when we had our dinner here tonight! Great quality and quantity! And the staff were all very friendly! Thank you for a wonderful meal!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant. And it is family friendly :)”

“Best Indian we've had in a long time (maybe ever). We had a wonderful meal tonight. The chilli prawn entree was exceptional! We also loved the lamb cutlets, mango chicken and lamb vindaloo! Every dish was delicious and the service was great. Very friendly and yummy, highly recommend! We will be back ☺️”

“Perfect place to eat Thai food. Tasta are great, and for me the portion is just right. They also have kids menu.”

“This cafe was recommended to us by a family member for superb salmon bagels. Boy were we not disappointed. I prefer cooked salmon and nothing was too much bother to lightly grill the smoked salmon. It was amazing and very generous. All our table loved everything they had, fettuccine, blat, gf french toast and two salmon bagels. We loved to cafe, friendly, wonderful ambience. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you. Absolutely loved it.”

“For a sushi chain, this place is excellent. Sushi chef is ready to make to order, he and the team provide a friendly service too. Lovely seating area. Plenty of parking. Lots of options to fit your tastebuds. Make sure to pickup chopsticks though, they don't assume you want them so you need to pack them in yourself.”

“The people were friendly and patient. I have 2 small kids and I generally get a very "annoyed" vibe when they are rowdy and I did NOT get that at all. I love it. The food is fantastic. My family and I will most certainly be back.”

“This is how a sports bar should be. Clean, and well-presented with no drama. It's part of the community and several local groups hold meeting there. There are raffles and a fishing club. Even free bread from the local bakery on occasion. The beer is very well priced and although the menu is none existent you can bring in food from other establishments.”

“Have been to a few live music events here. Great atmosphere and staff are friendly. Lots of options re beverages and meals. The mural wall is a highlight and always enjoy our time”

“Lovely atmosphere with music playing, very nice staff who took my order and pizza came out exactly how it was advertised online. Overall wonderful experience”

“Happy atmosphere excellent location”

“The pork belly fat was translucent with crispy crackling, an absolute winning start. We were given a wee free sample by the owner followed by a bloody fantastic feed. We got pork, rice and a few burgers. The chicken burger wasn't just a frozen patty, it was full to the brim of beautiful chicken thigh cooked to perfection. It was onnn. What a bloody treat! The pork was perfect, chicken perfect and great customer service, very down to earth.”

“Previously known as Lego Man, Greg the Sushi Man is famous for amazingly fresh, tasty sushi, which is made by his lovely Japanese wife. Excellent quality, customer service and always packed with humor.”

“Absolutely loved Pizza Hut! The pizza was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Great service and a cozy atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience!”

“Actually an enjoyable fast food outlet, can't fault the food or service, there's never many people in here so the atmosphere is nice and quiet”

“As a local I had a tarakihi and chips last night, hadn't been for a while and it was amazing. Lovely fresh, light crispy batter. I look forward to the next time.”
