Restaurants in Auckland

“Good quality 100% vegetarian food. Plenty of parking available as well. Lots of space inside the restaurant ideal for birthdays, engagement etc. The portion food served is sufficient compared to what other people are saying in their reviews. Toilet / rest room was clean too. Will visit again. Highly recommended.”

“My son .daughter inlaw and I went for lunch today. Food and service were amazing as always .Highly recommended .”

“Perfect setting, well price food that was delicious. Will definitely go back.”

“Delicious food- we sat in the sun with our 3 dogs on a lovely autumn day… service was great. Fantastic spot… a bit of Africa in NZ”

“I wanted to eat steak, but there was no main chef, so I just had a simple hamburger.”

“Walked past some nice smelling food so couldn’t resist popping in. The Palau took a while to make and was pretty oily, but it tasted good! Dahl with lamb curry was yummy too, my kid couldn’t stop eating the lamb. Definitely returning here.”

“I had my pleasure to have dinner at Cassia. We tried the Feast Menu. The foods were delicious! Great cocktails! Lovely services. The Daal could be improved because there was an overwhelming taste of Maggie Spice. The Fish Taco was the star for me. And of course Beef and Lamb!”

“The food was authentic and delicious. Being raised in a border town in Arizona gives me a bit of an edge when seeking out great Mexican food. I was on a business trip and stumbled on this gem. The birria quesadilla and tacos were simply outstanding. The service was fast and friendly. You won’t be disappointed. If you like it hot ask for the salsa picante! Muchas Gracias Mr. Taco!! Ramon”

“Breakfast meals were good. It’s a busy eatery so no real interaction with service just go in and be seated. You do need to go to the counter and order they are too busy to take table orders so don’t sit at your table waiting which I noticed a family do. Enjoyed the omelette and mango lassi. The menu has a lot of variety showcasing their Fijian meals. Servings and price was reasonable. Will go back to try their mains. Definitely try them out.”

“The food is amazing. Easily one of the best local Thai eateries. Have been before and will go back again.”

“Brought my parents here for their 45th anniversary, was totally worth it. Got to try their Kagoshima A5 wagyu to see if it lived up to the hype. Was amazing. Never tasted beef like that before, melted in my mouth like butter, didn't need any garnish or condiments, just grilled and seared to perfection. The set menu was good too but the Wagyu was definitely the highlight. The different wine pairings worked really well too”

“Had lunch here and it was very nice to sit in at a restaurant with exceptional service and great food! The portions were also generous, will definitely be back again.”

“This is one of the best sushi restaurants in Auckland, but I wish they would write the price on each type of sushi.”

“Just landed in NZ and after a strange experience in the Woolies that was mostly empty we were looking for somewhere to eat. Owner offered us so much and even made fresh avocado sushi for myself! Super friendly and would recommend!”

“Ichiban Ramen in Auckland city is hands-down the best ramen spot in town! Their karaage is an absolute must-try, it’s crispy, juicy, and always a highlight. The vibe is cozy yet vibrant, and the staff (shoutout to the Karaage boys!) are super friendly, making every visit a delight. Can’t wait to come back for more!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience — Joe’s Garage Has Our Hearts! We first discovered Joe’s Garage in Queenstown and instantly fell in love — the food, the layout, the vibe… everything was perfect. But the real star for us was the pancakes, which our daughter adored. For a whole year she talked about them and couldn’t wait to go back as we were from Auckland. So when we found out there was a Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, we were thrilled — even though we live all the way in Henderson, we were more than happy to make the trip. We finally arrived, excited and ready… only to learn that the famous pancakes are only served before 5pm, and we had arrived at 6:30pm. Our daughter was devastated, and honestly, so were we. But this is where the magic happened. Our wonderful server Tyra (who was also managing that evening) could see how much it meant to our daughter. We politely asked if there was any chance the chef might be able to make an exception. Instead of giving us a flat no, Tyra said, “Let me see what I can do.” She went to speak with the kitchen team, and came back with the most heartwarming news — their chef Hunter was willing to make a fresh batch of pancakes from scratch, just for our daughter. We were genuinely moved. This wasn’t standard service — this was above and beyond. Tyra’s kindness, and Hunter’s willingness to go out of his way, created a moment our family will never forget. Because of this experience, Joe’s Garage will forever have a special place in our hearts. Wherever we see a Joe’s Garage in the world, we’ll be loyal supporters — and our daughter will too. A massive thank you to Tyra (server & manager) and Hunter (chef) for turning a sad moment into such a beautiful memory. You made our daughter’s day, and ours. ❤️ Ray from Henderson”

“Selected the tasting menu which was superb, the staff had a great knowledge of the plates they were serving, each course was a delight. Going with the tasting option gave us the opportunity to sample the dishes we wouldn't ordinarily select. Learnt some fantastic new palate and flavor mixes. The head chef visited us and personally grated the fresh Christchurch Truffle which was amazing. All in all we can't fault the experience. Pricey yes but well worth it. Sorry the food pictures don't do the meal justice.”

“When ever you arrive at Joes you are always greeted with a warm welcome and smile from the amazing staff!! You always know the service and Food are always outstanding. I so highly recommend Joes Epsom!!”

“Service was lovely, ensured we have a big enough table to accommodate a baby, a pre schooler and 4 adults. Food was tasty and fresh, very well priced for the area.”

“I ordered bibimbap as a healthy meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, just like the ones I had in Korea, was well-balanced and neatly presented. The bulgogi was served separately, allowing me to fully enjoy its own flavor, which made the dining experience more enjoyable and enhanced my appetite. I would love to visit again.”

“My sister and I ate there tonight as it was my Birthday. I can honestly say it was excellent food. Yummy, tasty, clean, well-lit, friendly service with a smile. I would recommend you all to enjoy Mongolian cuisine!”

“Best good quality pizza in ponsonby, at $6 a slice it's not too cheap but it's also not too expensive after you try it. The house special is the asparagus and brie slice, it redefines pizza. Seriously.”

“Great atmosphere. Fast and efficient service with hot,fresh and tasty meals with lots of options to choose from The managers Walter,Daisy and server Johnny are very attentive and welcoming. Jack at the bar was knowledgeable and helped us choose a great NZ wine. We will be back!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Hospitality and Flavourful Experience! I had the pleasure of dining at Curry O’ City Indian Restaurant & Bar, and I must say — Sagar Verma truly sets the bar high when it comes to hospitality! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and attentiveness. Sagar’s professionalism, friendly nature, and attention to every little detail made the entire experience outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious — rich, authentic flavours that reminded me of home, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced. The team clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in both the taste and the service. Sagar Verma’s personal touch and commitment to ensuring every guest feels valued make Curry O’ City a standout dining destination. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, top-notch service, and a welcoming atmosphere.”

“Had a great lunch at Lone Star Manukau for my little sister’s birthday on Sunday! The food was delicious and well prepared, and Sophia’s service( this is the name I saw on my receipt, I hope its her) was absolutely fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our visit even better. Highly recommend for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch experience!”

“Had an amazing experience at Lone Star Queen Street! The vibe was warm and welcoming with a cozy ambiance perfect for a relaxing meal. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was absolutely delicious! From the beautifully plated mains to the decadent desserts, every dish was full of flavor and presented with care. Highly recommend the place for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty, satisfying meal with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Delicious meals and very good atmosphere! Highly recommended”

“Have not been to a Lone Star in ages. I feel it is the more expensive version of cobb and co. However, food and service was really good and loved the banoffee pie.”

“Lovely spacious restaurant in the heart of Botany Town Centre. The food was delicious, the mussels in white wine and garlic cream was so good. The pork belly was tender and the crackling cooked to perfection and the potato bake complimented the whole dish. The longhorn cheesecake was yummy with subtle flavors of kaluha and moro bar, very nice. A really enjoyable evening made even better by the polite and attentive staff. We would gladly dine here again.”
