Restaurants in Auckland

“Delicious lunch at Biskit Cafe & Kitchen today. Service was good, food was served promptly, and staff were very friendly. Seems to be a favourite as the store was packed even on a weekday. As for the food, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Portions were great. We had the Thai chicken salad, Seoul beef burger, and fettuccine. Overall, it was a delightful experience. Would definitely be coming back in the future. Would recommend if you're in the area.”

“Is all the things I want in a cafe, a lunch menu plus cabinet food with too many fab choices. If you need a quiet corner to get some thinking done, this is the place. If you work near here, I'm envious. Parking can be a trick, but regardless, I'd walk a'ways to get here.”

“Breakfast was delicious! And we love the outdoor Cafe dining experience. I had the SEB bagel breakfast and my companion had the brioche French toast.”

“Had lunch here over the weekend with our two little boys, the staff are so friendly, went out of their way to help us move when it started raining and super friendly to us and our boys. The food is amazing too! The Korean chicken was our fave. Highly recommend this place has the perks of being in the city without the hustle and bustle of pedestrians walking past.”

“5 stars all round, wonderful (fast!) service, beautifully presented food, affordable prices! Highly recommend!”

“THIS PLACE! I flew in on Auckland and by accident stumbled on this little gem. I never had carrot cake... Needless to say it was DELICIOUS. Homemade, owner bakes it himself. The atmosphere is also wonderfull. I went around NZ after this first cake... Never had the same taste in my mouth again! Until I visited back when I had to leave NZ... Each bite is perfect! Staff is soo friendly and genuine trying to build something nice up. It's a pity a lot of old reviews are bringing this score down (it was the previous owner), because it deserves a freaking big score ❤️ It is a small caffee, so expect when it's busy some waiting time to get in.”

“Amazing customer service for our small group today & the food was fresh, plenty of & super delicious. We were so pleased to find a lovely airy cafe in this heat, where we could talk and have plenty of space to enjoy it all. We will be back.”

“The most authentic Chinese spicy hotpot. We ordered combined dishes to have more varieties... 10/10 taste and service. Chilli oil broth and the golden fish broth are the mist try!!!”

“For the price, outstanding. Huge plate of lamb rump and two skewers. Nicely done fresh veg. If you're unfortunate enough to start at the nearby Novotel, ignore their wretched restaurant and take a 15 minute walk to Green Lane Gastro Pub. Well worth it. My meal was lovely and every other plate I saw going out looked great.”

“Great service. Amazing food. Been a several times. Happily take family. Family friendly within reasonable hours. Kids love it and they loved the food. Thanks so much for the hospitality.”

“I love this place! I was in Auckland for a 3 week time period and visited this restaurant on three different occasions. The staff is nice and the food comes to the table in a timely manner. The yogurt soju cocktail is a great option to share with friends. The King's Katsu menu item was my personal favorite and is great with either sauce option. It is also in a very good location in the CBD of Auckland and offers a place to eat during a day of exploring the city. Highly recommend it.”

“Very impressive food, fresh and great tasting, good size portions.. Really nice owners that take care of you No complaints”

“I’m amazed! Such beautiful dishes and they are delicious as well. Not to mention averagely priced for being much nicer and visually enthralling than in most places. Highly recommend this place, specifically the creamy mushroom rostis and the fluffy pancakes (have never eaten something so fluffy). The macchiato coffee and iced chocolate with almond milk were great as well. Free water, which is great. Nice place, chill atmosphere, friendly service. Very happy to have gone here! Will come again, especially for special occasions.”

“High streets best kept secret! Visit on a sunny day for a beautiful outdoor escape or a rainy one for a cozy coffee (the heaters / cover work wonders). Coffee and service is always 10/10, and the Bacon Benedict is always hits the spot. Love that they also support local businesses as well. Definitely visit if you’re looking for a cheap and cheerful brunch spot in the CBD.”

“Picked up a Cashew Chicken Noodle, a Sweet and Sour chicken with rice, a yellow curry with rice and some Spring Rolls for my family up from Dunedin today at WoknNoodle Mt Eden. They absolutely loved it. It fed 5 of us for lunch! Thanks Lee, your food always hits the spot!”

“First time coming here after driving past a few times each week Would give 10 stars if I could ! ! Came in Thurs 10th July midday for some takeaway lunch & coffee , staff ( 2 x young women ) were friendly & made The Best Flat White ! Had a sausage roll which was Excellent and could tell was made in house Definitely stopping in more I’m an ex barista (15yrs experience) and generally have high expectations but mostly receive below average coffee So it was awesome to receive an amazing Flat White from the Barista at Karaka General Store & Cafe Thanks so much”

“Great food, service and atmosphere early Friday evening. Happy hour drinks are great value. Not been here for some time but will definitely be going again”

“Has the largest selection of vegetarian/vegan items in Auckland. Everything is meticulously labelled for those who are vegan, lacto-ovo vegetarian, and those practice Jain vegetarianism, and etc.”

“"Rainy days are simply perfect with a plate of sizzling stir-fried noodles and the sautéed preserved pork slice with hot chilli pepper! The combination is absolutely heavenly - the chewy noodles soak up all the delicious flavors, while the savory cured meats add that special umami kick. Every bite warms you up from the inside out, making it the ultimate comfort food for gloomy weather. 10/10 would recommend this amazing pairing to chase away the rainy day blues!"”

“The lady boss and man boss so down to earth! The teas they have are sooo yummy”

“I tried out this little takeaway spot in Manurewa and ordered some chicken nibbles and chips. Honestly, they were just okay in my opinion. The nibbles were on the small side, but they did cook them up pretty quickly. Plus, the prices were decent. The only downside was finding parking - it was a bit of a challenge.”

“Wow, the "Steak Night" was fantastic. Normally my wife does not allow me to order steak, as 99 times out of 100, the chef does not know how to cook it, or it has not been aged, or the thickness is inconsistent I.e thick at one end and thin at the other. And I complain about it. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the friends I went with talked the restaurant up. We got there around 7 pm, and the place was buzzing, a really good atmosphere with locals obviously supporting this restaurant. The steak was spot on, asked for medium rare, and received a good sized portion of a very tender medium rare scotch fillet with mushroom sauce. Fries and a fresh garden salad finished of a simple but great meal. Yes, i took the time to go and thank the team in the kitchen for a great meal. My friends tell me Taco Night is also well worth going to, so I reckon my wife and I will have to make the journey North from Hamilton to do just that. 100% recommend this restaurant. Oh, one of our friends is celiac, and they were able to cater for her with GF fries and GF Salt and Pepper squid.”

MANG JOE'S CHICKEN INASAL NZ leans into a grill‑focused approach without the fuss. Sides support without crowding the plate. Pricing lines up with the offer. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down.

“Such a gem! One of the best meals we had in NZ. The ceviche will change your life. We were basically licking the plate. Cocktails were fantastic. Doesn’t feel as touristy as other spots on the island which is nice as well. We were only stopping in for a snack and it was so good we ended up doing full blown dinner here. View of the ocean down the road from outdoor seating. Thank you to the chefs and wait staff for a wonderful meal and time!!!”

The kitchen at The Burger Shack takes a classic fish‑and‑chips path and lets the food speak. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Takeaway travels well and holds its crunch. Serve sizes show solid value.

“I ordered a take away today and the food was authentic Indian taste . I ordered their special paneer and Veg Biryani and both of the dishes were yum . A must visit place for authentic indian food lovers in Kumeū”

“Super friendly staff. Will make it fresh. Such a bright colourful store. Great flavors and an A grade”

“Excellent sushi! If I could afford it I would sit here all day devouring 1000s of pieces until I was dragged away. This is sushi of the highest order.”

“Tried K-Ramen today and it was very delicious and also affordable. Exceptionally friendly staff make the food yummier. Highly recommended!!”

“Six years on, and nothing else compares to this place. The ambiance remains exceptional, and the food is even better. With an extensive selection of wines and drinks to perfectly complement the meals, and authentic flavours that transport you straight to their roots, this spot truly stands out. Hats off to Sunil and the team for building such an outstanding experience.”
