Restaurants in Auckland

“Just looking for a little place. Just got into town in New Zealand at the pier. Like for some Asian food, something with flavor. We stumbled upon this place. The food was excellent. Service was good. Staff was prompt on all their items. The food is brought out as it's ready instead of waiting for everyone. Kind of nice. They're just small little dishes that we ordered. Everything tasted extremely fresh. Everything tasted the way it should. And met all our expectations. Me and Agnes were both please. Atmosphere sitting on the water. Relaxing. Eating good food beautiful scenery. Even though we're a little tired from our 13-hour flight. Still was nice to sit down. I have quality food. Another week or so here. Can't wait to try many more restaurants.”

“Amazing food and decor. All very tasty and fulfilling. Service was attentive too. The interior restaurant looked like the inside of a train and would be great to sit in too.”

“Had experience like fine dinning restaurant. Foods look so nice and taste delicious. Good service Highly recommend Will be back for sure”

“From the moment you walk in Reign and Pour brings a solid upbeat and relaxed vibe. The staff are friendly and incredibly attentive. The food.... Oh my goodness, so good. I had the stuffed chicken which was so well balanced in terms of flavour profile. My partner had the steak and said "this is the best steak I've had in quite some time." To share we also grabbed the cauliflower bites which were perfectly salted and crispy. We'll be back for sure!”

“What a lovely place. From the moment we walked in we were made welcome and given a menu straight away. Our server was very attentive and makes a decent coffee too (definitely a bonus). The staff are so kind too - I witnessed 2 of them helping an older gentleman into his chair. The food is lovely and hot. On our most recent visit we had creamy mushrooms and a breakfast buttie. I loved how the house rosti was shaped like a birds nest. The house soda is also very refreshing. I am definitely going back.”

“The Paw Bar and Eatery is a fantastic place to come with family/friends/a date or even on your own! The twinkling lights with all the beautiful plants make you feel like you are in a tropical resort. The staff are an absolute gem- super friendly and quick! There is a lot of space to sit outdoor or indoors. They have great events such as trivia and live music. I hosted a staff party there and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. The doggy menu is also obviously a huge plus and they always have many board games. Sizzling skewers are now a new highlight, which you cannot find anywhere else in the hood! I highly recommend swinging by. Cheers!”

“Super cozy, friendly atmosphere restaurant. A lot of options of vegan desserts and cakes. Delicious coffee and teas. Friendly and welcoming staff. One of my favourites in Auckland for coffee and dessert. Thanks! :)”

“Was in need of a big breakfast as it was brunch time for me. The service was impeccable, the food not only was appealing but delicious and the portion was great. Definitely a treat, highly recommended for delicious food and atmosphere. Thank you, love the environment use provide.”

“we tried this place first time approx 1 month ago. Ever since the first visit, this place became our weekly routine. It's that good. Both dinner and brunch menu is excellent, super friendly service and very kids friendly (my daughter love their kids combo). I'm sure we will continue visit here more. Perhaps the only complaint is we wish there's more mocktail selection for the non-alcoholic drinkers :)”

“Great place if you want a quick bite. Ordered a chicken burger that was hot and fresh. Good taste.”

“1st time eating here and 1st impression is great. Love the breaded chicken pasta with pesto cream!❤️❤️❤️”

“Heard so much about the Steak & Guinness Pie that we had to try it out. Hubby had the large one, me the small. Both did not disappoint and both were ample servings. Flakey puff pastry sealed over the top of a bowl of steaming hot steak filling, served with crispy beer battered chips and a green salad. Tasty and very well-priced. Great pub, awesome staff.”

“We booked a table via First Table, so was able to get a good deal for a table of 4. We ordered the Pan-Roasted Lamb Rump and Butcher's Cut Steak. The food came out quickly and it was very tasty. Basalt is nicely layed out, with one corner for dining, another area where you can watch live sport and have drinks. As well as an upstairs area with music”

“Authentic Japanese ramen although I’ve never been but imagined this is what it would be like. As soon as we stepped in greeted by all staff including the chef’s. Service was attentive and food services quick. Food was really delicious and couldn’t fault the entire experience.”

“The food was delicious, and portions are great value for money. The staff were quick and attentive and not as rude as I've experienced before. Overall, this visit did not disappoint as it was a busy Thursday afternoon, and not a table was empty.”

“Went for lunch, menu prices are really good. We ordered fish and chips, really enjoyed was a lovely meal. Staff there are very good & efficient and easy to talk too. Thoroughly recommend this place and will go back again.”

“Stopped in for lunch while getting a car serviced. The guy working stated they'd just opened so the wait time was longer but I wasn't in a rush, so not an issue for me. Service was friendly, food was served fresh and hot. Good lunch spot!”

“Tasty pizza. Ordered Margarita, Cranberry Chicken and Smoky Chicken. All were good, great amount of toppings, fluffy and crunchy base and reasonably priced.”

“The customer service here is absolutely outstanding! The staff are so genuinely lovely, they’ll even hold the door open for you, or bring the order to your car (when I've had kids in the car). The buffalo chicken wings are hands down my favourite, always a hit! Most people don't know about the chicken wings, so please do yourself a favour and add them to your next order!! Every visit has been nothing short of perfect. Honestly, I don’t have a single complaint. Highly recommend!”

“The guy behind the counter Aidan (hopefully thats spelt right lol) Guy was a hero, went in on Fathers day as per tradition and he let us know there would be a slight wait due to Oven issues, no stress at all! It looked like he was working a solo shift which is bananas for a sunny Fathers Day! Dude never crumbled under the pressure and knew how to prioritise orders, my family and I placed a pretty sizeable order so we were expecting a long wait time since it was just him doing it all, he managed to get the small orders out fast so customers didn’t get upset, he slipped us an extra few garlic knots as an apology for the wait (hopefully I dont get him in trouble for that) Just solid, cool calm and collected service! - matt”

“Amazing pizzas. Always loved these over the crappy D and PH ingredients that make you bloat. Much better variety than before. Quick and friendly service too.”

“Best pizza in town. Not traditional pizza but the best of both European and Asian cuisines.”

“This is our favourite local Eatery! The staff are lovely and so very accommodating. Being able to take our own wine makes it more affordable, meaning we can eat out more often. Love it!”

“Consistently great pizza from Sals Birkenhead. The manager Raj is always friendly and nice to talk to, and he makes a pretty great pizza. Sals menu is simpler than other pizza places, but higher quality and tastier - plus a large pizza is actually large from Sals. Definitely recommend Sals for a slice of New York style pizza, especially if you can get a deal or bundle.”

“I was searching on places to eat on Google maps, and this place popped up. I love my new York pizza, and for breakfast... why not? Lol. This was really good. Best pizza place in Auckland by far. It's worth the visit!!!”

“Restaurant set up as NYC pizza. Simple menu, but the taste was extraordinary. My favorite was the 5 boroughs. It was juicy and flavourful, nice and moist.”

“Clean and tidy lovely staff amazing sushi”

“Clean restaurant with friendly staff. Lots of options to choose from including chicken, fish, and veggie options. There is a fridge of beverages to purchase and additional seating in the back. The sushi I wanted was not available but they made it quickly for me and it was delicious. No complaints here. Additional notes.. limited parking on site, may have to park in the garage around the back .”

“Was absolutely amazing. Greeted by friendly staff and taken straight to our table on a busy Saturday (we had booked and would probably recommend as was very busy) Companion had the kumara burger and it was delicious. I had the platter "for 2" which was phenomenal decent portion of each item and all were delicious. We then had desserts and they were very tasty. All the staff were very nice too. Will definitely be back!”

“BEST BEEF MADRAS EVER! Succulent melt-in-your-mouth cubes of beef, no fat or gristle, just pure top quality beef. Sauce to die for. Lovely service, lovely staff, dine-in or takeaway doesnt matter, the quality is always there.”
