“Lovely staff who came and turned the outdoor heater on beside me. He also checked how everything was halfway through the meal. The coffee was beautiful. I had eggs benny with avocado and haloumi and I would definitely have it again! Beautiful presentation and delicious. Will definitely be back!”

“Caddell went above and beyond today. Courteous, friendly and was quick to find alternative sizes. Cheers my bro!”

“Outstanding! First time we've visited, and this is the best playground we've been to in our nearly 8 years in Auckland... even worth the trip all the way from east Auckland! We will be coming back, and I understand there are a few other similar playgrounds in west Auckland! Very impressive!”

“Food was incredible. Came here for my partners birthday at lunch time very quiet and Food was delicious had kufta and lamb kebab with bread and wow the garlic sauce that came with the kebab was amazing never had anything like it! Bread was great meat was so succulent. The kufta sauce was delicious and the meatballs were succulent and I wish I could have eaten it all but I was so full! Thank you for this amazing food”

“This place has excellent bakery items. We enjoyed it all! Thankyou!!”

“Everything is so good and fresh here - by far the best pasta I have ever eaten in Auckland! Plus, everyone inside is so sincere and friendly, I am so impressed! Thank you for the amazing food and the great service! My review is truly heartfelt! Will definitely come back often! :)”

“I was in Auckland for a conference and for one week and nearly everyday, I visited this place! I am a big Ramen fan and the Ramen of this restaurant just catched my attention and it was perfect! Sorry for the boring image collection of just one dish, which I ate 4 times there, but it was just so delicious. It is called Hell Ramen, which you can order in different spice levels. I started somewhere in the middle (which was already very spicy) and traveled the ladder up to the highest spice level and it was so good! Thanks to the family that runs this place! You were very nice!”

“Delicious food, huge portions, really fair prices, super friendly and helpful staff. 10/10 recommend and will be coming back. Waffles are delicious! Thick, fluffy, crisp on the outside, perfect.”

“A hidden gem that serves up some fantastic ramen and other dishes. Went here with my fiancée to grab some ramen and katsu after a long day of adventures and hikes. They are in a rather odd location, a warehouse district with no discerning signs of a restaurant in the heart of it. However if you have the drive it has definitely worth a stop. Staff is super friendly and dishes come out piping hot. Would just mention that there isn’t a ton of seating inside and outside so larger parties may run into some obstacles there. However a more intimate dinner date is easy.”

“The sushi platter we ordered from Sushi Plus for our child’s 2nd birthday party was absolutely fantastic! It was not only delicious but also beautifully presented with vibrant, colorful rolls that looked as good as they tasted. The variety was impressive, with something for everyone to enjoy, and each piece was fresh and perfectly made and added a special touch to the celebration. Highly recommend Sushi Plus for any event!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Family-Friendly Gem in Birkenhead! We had lunch yesterday at Burrito House Birkenhead, and it was such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, generous portions, and full of authentic Mexican flavours. We tried the tacos, nachos, burrito, and sides — everything was tasty and beautifully presented. What I really loved was how kids-friendly the place is. The staff were welcoming and patient, and the relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy our meal while the little ones felt comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for families or anyone craving good Mexican food in a cosy, welcoming setting!!”

“The Lebanese Grocer is home to the best chicken shawarma I have ever tried, outstanding! Not just the shawarma but the hummus and labneh that we got to take home is unbelievable. Pro tip, they give you $2 back each time you drop in your jars for a refill of hummus or labneh, hold onto your jars. 10/10 - Highly recommend to all. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“Beautiful restaurant, the smell of charcoal and the Spanish music makes you feel like you’re in South America. Food is amazing. The beef short ribs just melted in your month, juicy and tender. Fish had good portion and the sauce was lovely. Fried breads were hot and chewy, the tangy sauce was a great accompaniment. We ordered cabbage and broccolini as sides. Both were delicious and worked well with the main dishes. The only dish that wasn’t my cup of tea was the dessert, the burnt merengue was rich, sweet and too creamy. I felt like it lacked other textures. But overall, loved our first visit and would definitely go back to try other dishes.”

“# Amazing pizza# Must try the special truffle pizza，actually 45 is not cheap，but worth it！ Special menu like a gift， everyone is perfect including the drink. If you are first time to there like me，just talk to the friendly staff，believe their recommends.”

“The sushi is always fresh, flavourful, and beautifully made. Service is fast, friendly, and the atmosphere feels cozy and welcoming. Definitely one of my favourite sushi spots”

“The best pizza I’ve ever had in akl. We had half and half of spicy Italian sausage and meatballs pizza. Staff was really friendly and theirs service is phenomenal. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic pizza.”

“It is a little restaurant, with a home atmosphere. The menu offers different options of main. The dishes are very well prepared, and they have a construction of flavors. The staff are very attention and worried to keep the client satisfied.”

“It was my birthday today and the best decision I made this year was coming here for dinner. Loved seeing the chefs cook right in front of me – their passion made the food taste even better. I could really feel how much thought went into every sauce and ingredient on the menu, and I truly appreciated that. The staff were super friendly and quick, everything felt smooth and professional. Loved the vibe, the food, the menu variety, the plating… everything. Can’t recommend this place enough.”

“A modern French experience at an affordable price. Choose between the chef’s selection or al a carte off the menu. My companion and I went with the latter option and it was perfect! The service was exceptional. Only suggestion for the future if management can consider implementing is acting in the comments on the booking. I had advised this was for a special occasion but it wasn’t acknowledged. Nevertheless, this was a fabulous dining experience.”

“Service & Food is amazing. Fair price and portion. Looking forward to having a go again”

“Best pizza place in Auckland by far. Crust 5/5 Killer crust. Perfect thickness and crunch too it. Passed the flop test when you hold it. Sauce 5/5 Both their white and red sauce are amazing. Complements all the other ingredients and the base very well. Toppings 5/5 Great ingredients. You can tell the pizza is going to be great even before you bite. Vibes 5/5 Cool bunch of people. Last recommendation - if you can, eat there so you can have the pizza when it come right out of the oven.”

“I'm a big fella who gets pretty hangry. A mate recommended Olas, and it was really good. New flavours for me which I loved. I'm plant based which their menu catered for. Yum!”

“Finally made it to Hugo’s Bistro for their weekend dinner offer — I’ve always wanted to dine here, and this was the perfect excuse! We absolutely loved everything from the moment we arrived. The welcome was warm, and the host who looked after us made our evening feel genuinely special. The complimentary glass of champagne was such a thoughtful touch. The menu is beautifully curated, and every dish we tried was exceptional. You can really feel the care and craft behind the food and the service. Hugo’s, you’re truly deserving of all the accolades you’ve received. We can’t wait to return!”

“This pizza place was a hidden gem. On Friday evening, after finishing work, I went there with my partner since I had been wanting to try it for a while. Parking was a bit challenging with limited slots and no street parking, but the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made up for it. The staff who served us was very kind and provided great recommendations. We ordered two pizzas: Mushroom & Ricotta and Chicken Meatballs & Artichokes. The mushroom pizza was incredible, with ricotta cheese perfectly complementing the crispy crust. It wasn't too salty or greasy - just perfectly balanced. The Chicken Meatball pizza was equally amazing, with fabulous meatballs and a delicious sour lemon zest. For anyone who loves pizza, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!!”

“For some of the best quality take out sushi in town - this is it! Scallops were amazing and we ordered the build your own platter before and that was perfect! Delicious sushi from a take out store”

“Great Thai food and friendly staff! I tried the tom yum soup and pad Thai and loved them both!”

“Tucked away on a corner, didn't know this place existed until a couple of weeks ago. Clean, tidy and spacious inside, outside has a couple of tables. Has a modern casual feel to it. Heaps of parking. This place has really good food, fresh and tasty as. Staff/owner very friendly and accommodating. Recommend you to try it out!”

“Authentic Italian on the beachside. I’ve come here twice now to try the pizza, and it’s always been good. They have some vegan options however they are not labeled very well on the menu so you will have to ask. Portion size for the vegan pizza was average, but the other food look well well portioned. Lovely staff and a great venue, excellent date location.”

“Great service and mouth-watering, authentic Japanese food! We ordered the vegetable tempura, katsu, tuna sashimi, and squid ink udon — and loved every dish. Nothing disappointed. Everything was beautifully presented with authentic flavours. Despite the busy atmosphere, our food and drinks arrived quickly, and the waitstaff were attentive and efficient.”

“The Tahi is so welcoming it's like coming home. Such cool vibes, great food, some of the best music around. Luvvin your work guys!”
