Restaurants in Auckland

“I was here Friday 19 April with a group of 12 from West Wave. The food was fantastic. I had the best pizza in about 20 years! Also a great atmosphere and lovely staff. I forgot to take the photo of the ice-cream after I had eaten ⅔ of it already.”

“Had the tanto sushi lunch that happens once a month for around $60+ pp. The experience was very authentic and was one of the best authentic sushi that i've had in NZ. Most of nz sushi is Americanised and sweet and although taste good I still prefer the just fish with rice. All the dish here had a lot of natural taste to it but taste very delicious. The sushi ingredients was fresh and I especially love the sweet potato tempura. The tempura reminds me of a place in Japan where they focused on the item being fried to bring out its naturalness and the batter was just a light batter that doesn't overwhelm whats inside. The sweet potato tempura was the best and had really nice texture. Overall very enjoyed the meal and experience and highly recommend for people to treat themselves and come here.”

“First time coming here for dinner and meal was great. We had the bento boxes which were great value and the tempura udon was tasty. The sushi was freshly made and tasty as well. Will definitely be back again.”

“Price is reasonable, variety of sushi for customer to select n pick. Yum yum. Will go again if I pass by Mount Eden.”

“Ok so if your looking for the best sushi train ever then you've found it. Man o man this place is amazing. The food is fresh and chock full of flavour. The popcorn prawns is next level. The crab dish was to die. Everything is priced as expected. The staff are friendly and fast I will go back for sure”

“Love the place. The food was yummy. Drink menu is just great, loved the mud pot drinks. We tried the chicken wings and chicken nachos and both were yummy. Must try.”

“I'm from Texas originally and moved to Ohio, and when I tell you this was on par and better than a lot of Mexican food from Texas I'm not trying to fool you. I just got off a 19.5 hour flight and took a shower and was looking for something to eat. Found this place and had the fish tacos and lamb tacos and my goodness, I thought I was happy just making it to New Zealand, if the food is anywhere as good as this place I'm going to be willfully much lighter in my wallet. So good”

“Went in yesterday for a burger and fries and honestly was so surprised at how much I loved the food. I had a dirty something smash burger and my partner had the spicy chicken burger; both were so tasty and good value for money. Wanted to bring my sister who was fresh off a flight but didn’t make it before closing, will be coming back next time we’re in Auckland for sure Lady who worked there was so so nice too, would recommend”

“Had a fantastic dining experience at Daphne. The highlight of the night was definitely the woodfired market fish dish — a beautiful combination of clams, mussels, prawns, and fresh fish that captured the essence of the sea. Every bite was a burst of oceanic flavour, delicately balanced with herbs and seasoning. It felt like a celebration of fresh seafood done right. Also really enjoyed the pork belly skewers — crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, paired perfectly with the pickled rhubarb and fennel. A great contrast of textures and flavours.”

“This is my favorite kebab shop in Auckland and finally had the chance to dine in instead of taking away. The back of the shop had plenty of space, allowing me to enjoy my meal while it was still warm. Their food, already great, tasted even better fresh. The staff was kind, and overall, this place stands out from other kebab restaurants. Highly recommend!”

“Best turkish food in Auckland, if not the country I would say. The lamb in particular is succulent. The cocktails were amazing too. Highly recommend!!”

“We ordered the Hot Nash burger, southern style and nashville hot boneless chicken and the beef birria loaded fries. Their nashville hot flavour is very spicy but has so much flavour. The southern style chicken is probably their best flavour with the perfect balance of spice and seasoning. Their chicken and chips are exceptionally crunchy and freshly made. As for the burger and loaded fries they were even better. Definitely order online prior to arrival as the wait time can be a bit long but worth it.”

“5 stars for Clare and her beautiful team. She arranged a room in the back for my birthday celebration and everything was perfect. Thank you guys! By the way...food is delicious and not expensive. Recommended!”

“We booked for 30 people and got a good deal from the owner. We all had a good time, enjoyed the pizzas and drinks.”

“This place is always busy so recommend you make a booking. The food is tasty and consistently good. And between October and February, you have to regularly go to eat, or just drop in to grab the mango sticky pea flower rice, as the season is limited! Dominion Rd was buzzing, despite no rugby game on at Eden Park and lots of people out which was great to see. Worth a visit :)”

“My partner and I were visiting from Melbourne and had the best burgers and wings from Ralph’s! You can tell the kitchen makes everything from scratch and take their food very seriously. We joke all the time about flying back for a day just to eat there again. Really cool vibe to the place too and lovely service - relaxed and friendly people. Cannot recommend enough!”

“We had a really good experience at Bossi. I had the steak for my main and it was AMAZING. We also ordered a couple of desserts, which were the perfect end to dinner. We will definitely be back. Our waiter was fantastic, very knowledgeable and genuinely lovely.”

“Great new little Vietnamese place recently opened.. Food and taste was awesome and the pricing very good... Staff were friendly and we will be back again. Very happy to have a local Vietnamese restaurant close by. They are not on uber eats yet.”

“First time doing pick up and staff friendly and atmosphere very appealing. Will definitely be dining in soon. We picked up the classics - Pad Thai and Green curry. Both very generous sizes with good proportions of protein and so much flavour. Looking forward to trying out the other options too. Highly recommend.”

“2nd time ordering from here. Yummy tasting pizzas. Also, prompt and awesome customer service.”

“By far the best selection of Sushi in Newmarket. I truly rate their Bento boxes for price and selection of items. A longstanding business in Newmarket who have retained their quality”

“Tasty food . Sashimi always taste fresh . Good and comfortable seating area. We have been there a few times .”

“Sushi loving Miss 9 and I throughly enjoyed our Sushi lunch together. Miss 9 even said “the best sushi ever””

“It's not fancy inside but they make the best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. The fish is beautifully fresh. Perfect light, crisp batter, perfect crispy chips and crunchy potato fritters. So delicious. Recommended.”

“Delicious Neapolitan pizza with the perfect crust and fresh toppings, paired with crispy, flavorful arancini. A cozy spot with warm service and a true taste of Italy”

“Super yum Waggu burger. Mine had the vegan bun and cheese (melted beautifully) which was fantastic for me being dairy free. The wedges and fries are also a very generous portion and the drink was perfectly chilled. Great service.”

“For my husband and I, as NZ Born South East Asians, it wasnt just a meal, it was like experiencing our heritage and identity thru food. My husband is a huge chatty foodie, plus he's only in recent years started to embrace his South East asian identity... He enjoyed speaking with Carlo about food, history and flavours. We could tell Carlo is extremely passionate about what he does and we found it very inspiring. My self too, I'm not much of a foodie, but I can attest every dish we had that night felt like familiarity... it was a really eye opening experience to 2 people who grew up in NZ without that connection to our parents' countries. I know for some it was just a restaurant, but for us, the ingredients, history and passion touched us personally. We will be sure to come back often and bring friends and family to experience Bar Magda and Carlo's wonderful food and hospitality again!”

“Thai noodle has the best chicken pad Thai ever!!! I have been coming here for years and every single time it is absolutely incredible. Amazing portion size too!”

“Excellent food Very clean and tidy Plenty of parking on the street and side street Friendly and great service Will come back again”

“Friendly service with a great variety if sushi. Mix of authentic sushi and kiwi sushi.”
