Catering in Christchurch

“This is as good as it gets. Really good Chinese food. Authentic Chinese and kiwi favourites as well. Nice, friendly service. Bathroom has had a major, much needed upgrade. In fact the whole place has been upgraded. We will definitely be back. From the way that the other customers (four different groups, two Chinese, two kiwi) related to the staff, you could tell that they weren't there their first time. It's a good sign when customers come back. We had the curry chicken, cha shao pork (much bigger dish than in the menu photo), Fu Yong egg (omelette thingy) and stir fried veggies. All delicious.”

“Delicious food, great for kids or adults. Lots of nice fresh salads. Salsas are really good too. Friendly staff.”

“Two fat Indians is a nice restaurant in the heart of Christchurch city. The good thing is that it had authentic desi taste and not sweety taste in dishes we tried. We had Chicken Malayi tikka that was awesome (although quantity is small for price). The lamb shank Nihari was also very good (a bit salty but tasty) and meat was tender. Seating place is good and service is also good. Recommend if you love desi food and taste.”

“Little India Merivale has been our go-to restaurant for many years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, full of flavour, and beautifully prepared. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like a valued regular rather than just another customer. It’s a place we keep coming back to and happily recommend to friends and family. another customer. It’s a place we keep coming back to and happily recommend to friends and family.”

“High quality very nice. Good service, clean area, kind staff, excellent food, fast serving times. Definitely recommend this place to eat at. We had a completely vegan dinner and it was beyond good — great noodles, and HIGHLY recommend getting the green curry.”

“An absolute must-visit! The food is simply superb, with standout dishes like the lamb shank, tender and full of rich flavor, the perfectly crisp squid, and the irresistibly crispy pork bites. Every bite is a delight!”

“My hubby and I really enjoyed our delicious entree and mains this evening. My calamari was so tender and the beef cheeks were deliciously melt in the mouth. So great to have this lovely restaurant in our neighbourhood. We will be back.”

“Who would think an airport hotel would provide one of the finest dining experiences we had in 2 weeks of travelling Southland? Attentive personal service from a gorgeous host. Perfect lamb dukkha and fish. Finished off with dessert. Leaving NZ very satisfied thank you Chef and hostess. If you don’t stay here - drop by for dinner.”

“Very yummy Chinese food best in the Papanui area by far ,always such nice service even the odd freebie chucked in to highly recommend :)”

“Great quality sushi. They have great range of sushis and other foods served to the customers. Food felt very fresh and tasty. 9.5/10 definitely coming back when using airport next time”

“The pizza place is my favourite place to go and get pizza from. The owner works on his own, and does an absolutely amazing job”

“Best Fish & Chip shop in city. Heaps of Chinese options, along with the standard Fish n Chips. Phone your order in, and will be ready on arrival. Best value portions I've ever found anywhere - always heaps of food, and always sooooo tasty and fresh. It's a takeaway shop, and pretty basic decor etc, but don't let that put you off. We go at least once a month, and wouldn't go anywhere else. 2 Fish, 1 scoop chips costs around $13/$14 - don't order extra chips as you wont get through them there's so much provided in a scoop.”

“We had roast duck noodle soup for take away. The chef had all ingredients ready waiting for my arrival. He started putting everything into take away box as soon as he knew I was there to pick up. This was to preserve the crisp of the duck skin and limit the noodles drying up the soup. Staff was extra careful in packing to prevent soup leaking. The interior design of this restaurant is simple yet traditional Chinese. The duck noodle soup was tasty and authentic, I'm sure it would be even better if we dined in. Still very good after coming back many times.”

“Authentic Taiwanese street food, good menu selections, really nice chilly sauce. Taiwanese owner operated. Love all the dishes we ordered, quick table service. Good bubble tea with well cooked bubbles, the largest size is humongous!!. Nice little shop. Moderate pricing. Highly recommend!”

“It was a hidden gem to me! This one lace serves delicious foods and desserts! The staffs are friendly and understanding. The food was served pretty quick compared to other Chinese restaurants. The place is very crowded most of the time because of the food quality and vibe. Convenient location, heaps of parking at church corner. Highly recommended and we surely will visit again.”

“Great pub to have a catch up and have a cold beer”

Greenhaven Fish & Chip Shop leans into a classic fish‑and‑chips approach with tidy execution. Serve sizes show solid value. Fish lands crisp with light batter and chips stay tidy. The team keeps things friendly and organised.

“If you're in Rolleston and craving some delicious pizza, you absolutely have to try Pizza Hut. Their consistency is what really sets them apart—you know you're going to get a great pizza every time. ​The food is always tasty, with a good balance of toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming, whether you're just picking up your order. It's a great spot for a satisfying and easy meal, and definitely a go-to for anyone living in the area."”

“Very friendly service from the little bubbly Asian lady, that made our day better after the disappointment of 15% surcharges for public holdays and thinking we wouldn't get a coffee and breakfast. No surcharge, thats a bonus, the coffee was good as was the food.”

“WOW. This is the setting the standards for grocery stores. It's clean, extremely tidy, it's as if care has gone into every item. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the variety is just insane. Hands down one of the best stores I've been to in the world. You can tell people care here.”

“Huge range of food and was tasty considering a buffet. They made fresh garlic naan bread and served to our table. I personally enjoyed the starters like tandoori chicken, lollipops, veg manchurian, paani puri and samosa chat was my favorite. And great variety of desert to end the feast. We will be back again. Thanks”

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chch, really recommended “Kung Pao Chicken” and “Small potato big dish Chicken ””

“Fantastic food and highly respectful wait staff. I loved the Bombay chicken... It was absolutely out of this world. The best part is that you can get Uber eats from this establishment! For the best curry in Christchurch I would say that Corianders is the place to go. They have a superb range of gluten free options.”

“Valentines Hornby is our favourite place to eat! We go at least once a month and cannot fault it. The food is fantastic - a great variety, very fresh, always beautifully cooked, and nicely presented. They often experiment with new dishes but you can rely on the favourites to always be there. The food is always hot and constantly replenished, and there is a great salad bar too. The dessert is amazing! Such a variety, including a chocolate fountain and ice cream machine. I love all the small portion mousses, meringues, cheesecake, hot dishes and the sides, like berries, cream and sauces. The lemon roulade is so good! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service is great too. We cannot praise this place enough - do yourself a favour and check it out! Great value for money too.”

“One of the older stores I've been in, but tidy, well stocked, friendly staff. A little smaller than other ones but efficient.”

“Corianders Rolleston is an excellent place to dine. We enjoyed the atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely go there again.”

“The first time, I've been to a subway where the workers were happy. And the first time I've everrrr had piping hot meatballs in a sub. Lovely people and great teamwork by the looks of it.”

“As usual, the sweat and sour chicken from here did not disappoint. The sauce is amazing and we get an extra pot of it with the wontons to dip into. Service was very good”
