Restaurants in Auckland

“THE classic burger joint. Grabbed some chicken burgers for lunch, the staff were quick and friendly as expected, and the burgers hit hard as always. Reliable and tasty every time.”

“Just had the best Roast pork meal I've ever had , It was rolled pork and the cracking was Devine! Just the care the man took placing the meal was also entertaining! This is a destination A+”

“Located in a basement, with a few large long tables. Lovely Thai food. Music is a little loud, but able to have conversations. Recommend Papaya salad, tom yum soup.”

“This place is our usual go-to restaurant. The food is always delicious and well-presented. Their signature dish, Samsun Jjamppong, is a must-try. It’s not too spicy and is full of flavor. The staff is friendly and kind.”

“They have the best vegetarian sushi with many different tasty options. You can choose from the wide variety in the cabinet (which they are happy to make fresh if run out) or buy from an even wider variety of delicious hot food made to order; bento boxes, donburi, tempura etc. Can sit in or takeaway. They always have miso soup to order too. Best service, very welcoming and lovely. Highly recommend! My favourite sushi shop.”

“The best Malaysian-style fish fillet curry laksa I have ever had. My friend dines here often and he highly recommended I try their food, it was my first time. Our conversation was cut short once the food arrived, there was no time to talk but eat and enjoy every mouthful as my taste buds were having a party! Inside the cafe it's rather small and intimate, I counted 20 seats available inside, they have tables outside but it's too cold to be dining outdoors in autumn and winter is just around the corner. It wouldn't be ideal if you were after a space to have private and confidential conversations because nearby tables and customers can hear you. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful and I will be back for more curry laksa. Thank you for a delicious, mouth-watering experience.”

“I eat here often. You’ve got to try the lollipop chicken starter. It’s crispy and delicious. I love the beef mussaman curry. any stir fry’s and pad Thai noodles are fresh and yum. Real value for money.”

“The beef and cheese burger is simple yet absolutely class, the chicken nibbles seem pricey but they’re pretty huge. Overall such good food. Only complaint would be the fries to sauce ratio - the aioli is actually amazing but just slightly not enough. Customer service is excellent - friendly people”

“The best little spot. Our favourite spot for the freshest fish, best selection and best value for money on sashimi. We always get a deluxe set each - and it’s consistently great each time. Kind workers and free miso soup too. Not a single complaint.”

“Very kind and friendly staff. The place is nice and clean. The food is absolutely delicious – the samosa chaat is my favourite! Prices are very affordable too. Highly recommend this spot.”

“went in today to grab some lunch with my parents, their food was absolutely delicious. We ordered dahi puri, potato vada, gujrati thali and pav bhaji. Every single dish we ordered was made with such care and the taste was impeccable, I would highly recommend getting the pav bhaji as it was definitely a highlight. Every dish arrived on our table within 10 minutes and it was all hot and straight from the kitchen. The atmosphere of the restaurant truly felt like home. The service provided by the staff was excellent. Will definitely be going again sometime soon !”

“The service was impressively swift, getting us our meal in record time. As usual, the food was absolutely delicious and satisfying, making us very happy. The upbeat music playing in the background created a fun and lively atmosphere. We always enjoy our time when we come here, it's a great experience!”

“Had the yummiest Vegan burger. It was/is a taste sensation. Fresh as! Partner had 2 Little Huia Burgers. He said they were scrumptious. Once again fresh as!”

“Very tasty sushi whit lots of meat”

“Friendly staff and good amount of sitting space. The South African owner is the chef. We enjoyed the ribs and chicken. Good portion too. Found this restaurant on zomato, otherwise wouldn't have known about it.”

“Customer service is really good. For a small restaurant, their service quality is superb! Food... it is beyond expectations! Amazingly authentic and tastes so so good. Gives an original Indian Indian taste. Good food and great value for money! This place should be recognized as one of the best Indian food places in Auckland. Loved it! Thank you Falaq, simply amazing!”

“Called in here today for 2 piece's of sushi $4.40 & a miso $3. Thursday 9 October 2025.”

“We were served by Sarit, he was friendly and generous. The food came quickly and tasted good. My 4 year old loved the cheese pizza and watching football on the TV.”

“Remember the good ole days where on a Friday, you'll pick up fish and chips from your local takeaway shop? This is one of those places. Run by a lovely Asian couple, we came around in the evenings after braving 40 minutes of traffic to get their fish and chips. From the looks of it, they maybe sell fresh fish during the day but the metal and glass cabinets were empty come the evening. Menus are printed and handwritten in chalk on the wall. From the looks of it, they're usually busy out back cooking so when you come in, tap the old school bell on the counter top and the gentleman comes out to serve you pretty quickly. There is an old dilapidated couch in the waiting area, reminiscent of one of those couches that you would crash on your friend's place while hanging out or after a night of booze. And also the quintessential picture/diagram of different fish hanging on the wall. Food was pretty darn good, although our bad for the long drive home and the chips becoming a bit soggy. Batter was seasoned well (along with the fish), was not overly battered, and the fish was cooked well and flaked when broken apart. Chips were also seasoned nicely, not dumped on with salt and you could taste the potatoes through it. Good place, wish it was a bit closer so I could call it my local!”

“I recently visited this Mayas restaurant and was blown away by how authentic and flavorful the food was. Every dish tasted like it was made with real care, traditional spices, and genuine Indian cooking techniques. The aromas, the presentation, and the flavours all reminded me of home. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff made sure we were comfortable throughout. The menu had a great variety and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. If you’re looking for true Indian taste and a warm dining experience, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend”

“This Thai restaurant is right near my home, and I can't believe I had never tried it before! I decided to give it a shot over the weekend and was surprised to find it quite busy. I ordered a **Prawn Nasi Goreng**—the portion was huge, and the rice was packed tightly into the bowl. It was super fragrant! I also got the **Crispy Pork Belly**—the pieces were large, and the sauce mixed with the fried rice was incredibly delicious. Finally, I ordered a snack: **Satay Skewers**—chicken skewers coated in rich satay peanut sauce, absolutely amazing! The restaurant even offers a **keto menu**, so it's great for those on a diet or into fitness. I'll definitely be going back again!”

“I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, but I got this chance recently. It didn't make me disappointed. It offers different kinds of Southeast Asian Cuisine. The duck, steak in crying tiger and scallops are so tender and tasty. And they are worth to try it!”

“This place is really good! Crispy chips, tasty fresh pizza, nice staff and vibes. Better then pizza club but of a similar idea. I highly recommend. I will be back.”

“Excellent value and super quick! The large combo was packed with meat, fresh salad, and super generous with the sauces. Well worth the $15. The chips were crispy and tasty too. Highly recommend!”

“Super quick service. Delicious pizza with huge portion and toppings. Friendly and warm welcoming staff.”

“Had such a lovely experience dining here. If you’re craving classic Taiwanese dishes, this is the best by far, in Akl. The stinky tofu was similar to the night market offerings in TW. Other classics we tried were beef noodle soup, 3 cup chicken, pork braised noodles etc. Delicious! Service is great too. Will be coming back again!”

“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.”

“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”
