Restaurants in Auckland

“I love this place. Decent place for a lunch in Penrose. The staff is great, friendly and quick service. I have been here 3-4 times and never gave a chance for disappointment. Great taste. Reasonable costs.”

“Excellent customer service (in fact the best l've recently had in Auckland)!!! Great tasting sushi, too. Excellent value and fresh (even though its late on in the day)!”

“Been going here for a number of years and absolutely always great food, great service and great prices. A local gem.”

“Absolutely, the best fish and chip takeaways.I've had in a long time, good prices in great food highly recommend to come and try,”

“We’re regulars & always order food from here Highly recommend”

“The fish is so delicious, the batter is crispy and the fish is fresh. The chips were crispy, not too oily, or over cooked and you can tell it's clean oil. The hot dogs were also delicious and crispy on the outside, not too oily or soggy even with the sauce! My only complaint was $2 chips wasn't a big portion but I get it, chips are expensive. Really yum, we'll be back!”

“I enjoyed my udon noodle everytime i pop by ☺️”

“I ordered 3 mains (beef penang, chicken green curry, and tofu pad see ew) and two entrees (tomyum) for three of us and the portions were so massive we had heaps of leftovers! The food is clean, fresh, and absolutely delicious with generous vegetables, spices/herbs, nuts, and meat. I found this place by scrolling through community pages and very happy I did. The lady who served me was super friendly and elegantly handled my requests (I always ask for half sugar at any Thai place), and all dishes were considerately packaged, and best of all, ready within 10 minutes of ordering over the phone. My new favourite Thai takeout, will go back very soon to try the larb gai, thank you thank you, khap kun kha!”

“If you’re looking for a spot in South Auckland that delivers bold Mediterranean flavors, laid-back vibes, and a complete dining experience, Eastern Grill in Manukau is one place that absolutely deserves your attention. Tucked away in the heart of Manukau, Eastern Grill offers much more than just a meal—it’s an experience. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the grilled meats, and baked bread instantly whetting your appetite. The menu is packed with Mediterranean staples and crowd-pleasers. Whether you’re after a plate of crisp falafel, or creamy hummus paired with fresh, fluffy pita bread, you’re in for a treat. Their lamb is a standout—slow-cooked, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, wrapped in soft flatbread or served over rice. The chicken skewers are also incredibly tender, and the garlic sauce? Smooth, garlicky bliss. But what really sets Eastern Grill apart is what it offers beyond the plate. They have a relaxed outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying the warm evening air with friends or family. The vibe is social and unpretentious, making it a great place to hang out for a while. Adding to that, Eastern Grill serves alcohol, so you can enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine alongside your meal. And if you’re after a more chilled, social experience after dinner, they’ve got hookah (shisha) available in a range of different flavors—a popular touch that really brings out that traditional Middle Eastern lounge vibe. Whether you’re into fruity flavors like grape, mint, or apple, or something more exotic, there’s something for everyone. The staff are friendly, attentive, and more than happy to make recommendations if you’re not sure what to try. Service is quick, and portions are generous—great value for the quality and quantity of food you get. Whether you’re catching up with friends, going on a casual date, or just after a solid meal in a relaxed setting, Eastern Grill delivers on all fronts. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately add to your regular list.”

“Frequent visitor here. I've only had the noodles once so this is for the food menu. Favorites are the sliced pork with egg and vegetables, beef Curry and braised beef with potatoes. Always consistent, always delicious. Food usually comes out pretty quick and the owners are friendly.”

“I have never been disappointed ordering a meal tray from here. Everything is delicious but my family favourite is the sweet & sour pork - the best in Auckland. Great service from staff. Comes highly recommend”

“Bestest Chinese food ever. Chicken fried rice very very spicy and 4 nibbles is my all time favourite order here. Wish I could live close by. Whenever I visit north shore, this is must visit place”

“The most delicious wonton soup EVER and your large trays @ $68.00 should increase price to $70 truly worth it, some may moan, but they know it's yummy, yummy, yummy, they will pay extra $2 bucks your hard work and delivery on service 5 stars. Please move to Ranui. If I win lotto I will buy you a premium space and gift full ownership to you.”

“Ordered lamb roast on DoorDash So delicious! Perfect amount of gravy, meat is super juicy and flavoursome veggies are cooked perfectly. Perfect for me as a uni student, it reminds me of home. Definitely a comfort meal❤️”

“We had a wonderful meal at Dokeyi Hot Pot. The $18.80 special is incredible - the lamb soup and the BBQ lamb was tasty, and it included rice and a drink! Excellent value and delicious food. Highly recommend”

“The best place for rice noodle soup. The portion is so huge even for big eater like me. If you re not too hungry, order 1 and share for 2 px. But if you re really hungry then you will be happy man..very generous w the meat and toppings. The chili station is superb with mala oil inclusive. Best value and worth drive from city to Albany just for a bowl of the either soup or dry noodle w tofu and pork belly. Wont disappoint .”

“My favourite malatang in auckland! amazing addictive soup base. They do it like no others, I go there monthly if not weekly. Can get busy during week hours but they always cook to food quick. Recommend soup!”

“This place serves truly authentic Chinese breakfast—I absolutely love their baozi (steamed buns), youtiao (fried dough sticks), and soy milk. The baozi are a must-try: the wrappers are soft, and the fillings are juicy and flavorful. They also offer classic old Beijing-style dishes that bring back nostalgia. The only downside is the small space, so it’s best to arrive early to avoid a long wait. Highly recommended for traditional Chinese breakfast lovers!”

“Surprisingly very good, unsure if new ownership since I've last been. But was on par with other great fish and chip shops.”

“Absolute beauty of a dish beef & tomato on rice was both aromatic and comforting. The tomatoes add that juicy freshness to it, nice tender beef and fluffy eggs. Highly recommend!”

“What a find! Such authentic Malaysian food is great to discover in Auckland. We had rotis with the beef rending and it was superb and cheap. We'll be back.”

“A cold late night and household is hungry. 10 min waiting to cook and take away. Very clean and hospitality service is excellent. Recommend to everyone as meal is non greasy. Certainly worth your money to spend for a large quantity on my plate for 2 adults. I really enjoyed their food.”

“Today rang up for f&c. Fresh crumbled nice Hoki, fresh half serve chips. Quickly cooked & ready. Recommend. Just walk in, grab food & go. No atmosphere as is not dine in. Good!”

“Best roast duck in auckland. I've looked. First takeaways ordered out of L4, no regrets ❤”

“I'm picky with my fish n chip places, some up here I just don't trust the cleanliness or the fact that I'm eating what they say I'm eating. Coming from the Waikato we have some mean places run by locals, so when we found this place, we drive all the way from Papatoetoe to come here in peak traffic lol This place is up there. Clean oil, everything tastes fresh! Chicken burgers are a must! Highly recommend!!!”

“I love a good roast.Hamilton has had the best so far,in my view,but:Milford's Carvery is first equal!!Tender,lamb,plenty of everything. Very obliging and wanting to satisfy the customer. I do wish they would come to Devonport.We would love one close by!!Thank you for a delicious meal.”

“We’ve been coming here for years and we love the food!! We always order Braised pork belly with rice & Honey chicken with rice. The staff are very friendly and accommodating! A must try!!! ☺️”

“Best Samosa I've had anywhere... big, full of flavour full of filling I have never come across a Samosa close to what they sell here... Happy to travel out of my way just for them.... Huuuuge Ice Creams too, friendly and welcoming staff”

“Very cool and nice place, food is perfect you have to try this, the best place in South Auckland”
