Restaurants in Auckland

“Ok wow. First of all, ring ahead and place your order if you’re hungry or in a hurry. We just randomly called in while visiting the beach on a spontaneous trip from south Auckland and waited almost half an hour for our order, but it was a busy Saturday night and we weren’t in a hurry. There’s a reason so many people buy from there, the food is epic! Tasty, fresh, packaged nicely….and for what we got, it’s a good deal! We could order half as much next time and still feed the family. We got two chook burgers, a lusty, wedges and a kids hotdog meal. Could have split the chook burger between two, it’s a whopper. I had to remove half my filling to eat it and still couldn’t finish it. Highly recommend! Also their kids meals are a good deal for the price.”

“Our dinner at Mumbaiwala was lovely. Great atmosphere and the food was delicious. The only reason that I gave 4 stars and not 5 for food was because they made my friends curry hot when she wanted mild, and my curry was mild when I wanted hot. We switched dishes as they were very busy! Our bill for 4 with alcohol was $292 but was $198 after our discount. Awesome. We had appetizer's and mains and everything was delicious! Highly recommend.”

“Great place to go if youre wanting a quick feed! Sal's signature fries are steal for how nice they are. Service is REALLY good. All the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is quite cozy too!”

“Amazing food and service! Beef cheek on Toast was amaaaaazing!! Started eating before I took a photo but hope it does the meal justice!!”

“Johnny's Steakhouse deserves it's 5 star rating from me as I have dined there many times and the food and service is consistent. The food quality always great and so when you take a friend there that you have recommended Johnny's to, you will not be disappointed. They won't let you down, especially Manoj ... The best thing about Fridays at Johhny's is that they are open from 11am making Steaks for lunchtime a perfect place to go. My friend Jim was so impressed he has placed a review after today making me realise I should too. I have posted photos from today and the same meals order over a couple of years showing the consistency of quality. Regards Eric”

“We love K Chicken Hobsonville, always such delicious burgers, fries and chicken. Such a treat!”

“Massive servings with great quality food! Really happy will be a repeat customer”

“Tasty food and super friendly service with generous portions”

“A lovely little eatery. Really friendly and professional staff, delightful ambience. Food was incredible, highly recommend the spicy mushrooms!”

“Service was positive her name is Simran her hospitality and friendly service made me feel happy by her greetings and the positive service she provided. We are sorry to see her go as this is her last night. In future may we have positive and vibrant staff like Simran. Thank you lovely for being positive each time we come to pizza hut Papakura.”

“For me it's the best restaurant in the region, I always come back with my husband”

“Good spacious cafe and bar with great cabinet selection. However, the product and display's name were inconsistent so we ordered the wrong thing (we looked at the name). Ordered a mocha but it was so bitter, not my taste personally. The staff was friendly.”

“Every dish was divine. The menu is super vegetarian and vegan friendly and the staff are welcoming.”

“I really enjoyed my meal AND the dessert! It was quite a treat, at an affordable price and great quality. The eggs Benedict wasa great portion size and perfectly cooked. I also had an orange almond cake - yummy... The coffee was great. This cafe is somewhat slightly hidden , but it's worth finding it !”

“Good spot for South Indian food. We tried Dosa and the kids ate idly, it was prepared fresh. The staff was very warm and helpful. We also drank coffee, which was not a traditional filter coffee but it was good. Good spot to enjoy Dosas.”

“Very cosy and chill vibe. Nice menu and just a cool place to hang out and meet up!”

“It's like stepping into a little pocket of Japan. I really enjoy the slower pace of this place. And ordering a few things at a time. They have a top 5 recommended skewers list, and I'd have to second it. The only other thing I'd add is the beef tongue and the grilled rice balls. The latter has such an interesting texture when grilled. The karaage is also a classic must have, as well as the beef tataki. I've also tried the gingko nuts and it's quite the interesting flavour and texture - worth trying once. Though Google tells me I shouldn't eat more than 7 of these nuts in a day... Great sake and classic Japanese beer options. And a very cosy ambience. If you're not a big group, would recommend sitting by the kitchen. Always fun to watch them grill.”

“Love the spot. Not the first and certainly not the last time we came in for a brunch with friends to enjoy the delicious food and atmosphere, personally love the outdoor area, however, the place has ample of space for any taste and preferences.”

“Seriously good indian food the amount of spice they give you they don’t play and their chilli oil too makes it the hottest Indian restaurant the lamb curry is very flavourful and good with the butter naan and even the rice too has so much flavours”

“Weekday lunches are guaranteed at this restaurant, which is conveniently located next to a sushi shop. I frequently visit with my colleagues for a slightly upscale lunch. The average price range is around $21, making it a bit expensive, but the consistently recommended food quality and quantity make it worthwhile and fulfilling. Personally, I enjoy their crispy chicken with rice and braised pork belly on rice.”

“Hands down favourite dumplings in the whole wide world has to be the pork and chive in spicy sauce. Their ‘hot’ is not to be underestimated, but even though it burns a little for me it’s well worth it. Dan dan noodles a nice accompaniment to the dumplings but not a must. Portion sizes are huge so always go for the Small if in doubt. Fell in love with the original Basu Lounge in Takapuna but I really rate their Browns Bay location more.”

“We had dinner with my wife's family In cafe Hanoi a few weeks back and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the staff was really engaging and the dining setup was impressive. The food standout for the Taste, presentation and Verity of different dishes. I would love to come back again next time while we are staying in Auckland.”

“Want last week to get the bacon backfire.. seriously you can tell the team love working here with their chilled vibes , making the customers feel welcome and most importantly the quality of the burgers are legendary .. such a nice place to murder a burger!”

“Had the best creamy mushrooms I have ever had! Food was so delicious, my partner had the eggs Benedict and said it was so yummy. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!!”

“Incredible value and huge portions! The food is delicious and there's plenty of options. The free soup counter is an extra bonus. I wish I lived nearby and could come eat here all the time! The sticky rice stuffed sausage was a bit sweet for my tastes, but the portions were still great. They don't offer stinky tofu as an individual dish- it's only included in hotpot orders. Parking is a bit difficult during peak meal hours. Excellent, excellent value!”

“Delicious Satay lamb stir fry noodles $22. Excellent customer service. Prodominately Chinese themed menu and restaurant. Large portions, delicious hot temperature food.”

“I was served by Oliver and Toby. The food was so delicious 10/10. I came at 9:30pm and food tasted fresh, they made the order so fast. I am so full after this and I will definitely be coming back here.”

“I had an incredible dining experience at Poni!Each dish was a masterpiece of flavors and presentation. The ambiance was inviting and the service top-notch. Poni is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable gastronomic journey. Five stars for chef Andrew without a doubt!”

“This restaurant has lots of wines with reasonable prices. And manager’s recommendation made my dinner perfect. Foods are delectable and you have to pair with wine. You can see a Mission bay with your meal, that makes you comfortable. Wonderful place!”

“I rate this as the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever tasted. The sweet and sour pork as well as the chow mein are my favorite dishes. Their service is excellent and they operated safely through Covid lockdown. I hope they become available on Uber Eats one day.”
