“Great food, and very welcoming staff. We had the best butter chicken and their naan tasted super authentic. Overall amazing experience. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing food and great service at Indian Roots! The flavours were authentic, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Indian cuisine.”

“Came in while wondering what to have for dinner Ended up getting the chicken dhaba after the young man working there recommended it i asked for Punjabi style as i know the flavour are so much more intense i was amazed at how amazing it was especially with chipati to dip in it Value for money”

“Went at this lovely South Indian restaurant for dinner last night, we ordered Samosa chat as entree, mysore masala dosa, cheese dosa and plain dosa for mains. All the food is absolutely delicious and the dosa is very crunchy which I love the most also the coconut chutney and red chutney are delicious. Must try dosa from Chanakya one of the best in town highly recommend. There are sitting area in the restaurant but very limited. Don’t forget to book the table cause it’s always busy and hard to get table for dine in.”

“We had a great experience at this restaurant! We started with the coconut prawns and spring rolls — both were very flavorful and fresh. For mains, we had the Pad Thai and Thai Green Curry, which were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent — the lady who served us was so nice and friendly, and the gentleman was very prompt and attentive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we loved the place!”

“Great service, food was excellent will definitely come back again.”

“Was recommended this place by a freind, it had been playing in my mind to order here as I had tried their lard about three years ago and it was average as. Nonetheless I ordered. We were told 40 mins. We waited some more. With a 40 minute wait you’d expect to walk in and have mutlple chefs gone but no. There was one. I walked in the store and got the food. After a brief and frisk drive home, the smell of this takeaway wofting into my nostrils had me readily for a goon. I then got home. One sip of the Panang curry, One bite of curry puff, one tear of spare rib. I knew I’d hit a gem! Ken oath legends This Thai place is a keeper!”

“Went to Hello Vietnam last for phở . We got the beef special. That was one of the best phở we have had including during our recent trip to Vietnam. Today we went back for bánh mì and cà phê sữa đặc. The fillings and taste of the bánh mì are truly authentic. The size is a bit bigger than in nam. We could only eat one between us, the other came home for dinner. The coffee was superb. We will be back for certain.”

“Very good dining atmosphere. Had The sushi train experience. Wish there could be more sashimi variety that will be amazing.”

“11/10 dim sum spot. Everything was delicious and fresh. Quick, polite service. Weekends have fresh baked pork and custard buns. Very reasonably priced. Menu has pictures and color coded pricing for each set of items ranging from $5.90 to $9.90 with the odd higher priced dish like the Peking duck. Wish I had more room to try more things. We will definitely be back.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed an impromptu lunch here. It was like stumbling on Hansel & Gretells house in the middle of the Christchurch botanical gardens. It’s difficult to put into words how divine the gardens and ambience was. Then comes out the food which was fresh and flavoursome. I would definitely recommend this experience.”

“We came here based off a recommendation and will definitely be back! We ate early, so there wasn't much of an atmosphere and the service was a little relaxed - which is fine, as we weren't in a rush. The food was out of this world! The portions are huge and the flavour in everything was just amazing. Our table each had something different and everyone thought that their dish was the best. We honestly loved this place and can't wait to visit again!”

“The food was delicious and outstandingly well prepared. We had 11 out of the 17 menu items, every one of them was delicious and full of flavor. The person who was serving us made our visit the best and exciting with every plate she served us. Will go back every year we are scheduled to pickup cargo. Awesome food and wonderful atmosphere.”

“Wonderful food and excellent service, we had the Lamb Rump with potato gratin and the Chicken and Bacon pasta. Generous portions and very tasty. Can thoroughly recommend. A visit to Zest Timaru is a must.”

“Really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Very attentive helpful staff. Enjoyed trying a couple of cocktails. Really enjoyed the drama of the stone grills. Great touch with the branded burger buns. Only slight improvement would be for the Jameson jeus as it had no flavour at all, but a super easy fix”

“Delicious new muesli on breakfast menu. Also makes a tasty, moreish scroggin for scoffing on the go. Was peaceful when myself and 11 month old came in for coffee and food. Team were very accomodating, adapting breakfast with more yogurt so baby could have some too. Amazing coffee.”

“Really cool place & the bar had a great atmosphere. The people running the venue were lovely and very helpful. It is by a main road but great value for what you get and conveniently close to the airport.”

“Best place in town for corn chips and dip! The queso dip is insane. I had to order some to take home with me after our meal. Frozen margaritas are my favourite also. Will be back regularly for sure!”

“We are visiting Chch and had the crispy pork pad Thai and it was the best we’ve ever had. Also the peanut satay chicken and that also was so delicious as was the BBQ pork fried rice, moneybags and the spring rolls were yummy. Highly recommend. We can’t wait to try it again soon. Thank you .”

“Have been going here for 15+years, taste hasn’t changed, quality ingredients and taste, always come back”

“Food that worth waiting for. Reasonable price. Good food. Great chef.”

“Very friendly and nice staff. Sana was serving us and was very polite and patiencive . Good was very good and well balanced. Best food we had while our tour to New Zealand. Loved the atmosphere and lovely place. Very neat and clean, with good service, food and friendly staff. 5 star earned”

“This Thai restaurant offers authentic Thai cuisine. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the level of service provided was commendable. I would highly recommend this establishment and intend to return in the future.”

“So good, nicest Thai food I've had in a while! Lovely service too. As a vegetarian, they specially made my pad thai for me to have tofu instead of meat which was a really nice gesture. :)”

“Had the Egg Burger and it was hot, fresh, and delicious - now that’s some five star take-out”

“Why bother going to Japan when you have Kenzo! The food is absolutely the best and the ingredients were top quality. Presentation of the food is incredible and the staffs are very welcoming and considerate, they offered us spicy oil separately to the ramen to put them according to our preference. Can’t wait to visit again !”

“Excellent service, food was ready fast, good price, great vegetable selection in the black bean beef and meat very tender, sweet and sour pork tender and so yummy, will definitely go back.”

“Ok, this place is just heaven on earth. I can't recommend it enough. The food is divine. I mean heavenly off the charts delicious. They have a seafood chowder to rave and remember. All ingredients were fresh and the seasoning just perfect. The place is simple and doesn't look like much, but it really is a must for the soul. Great selection of wines for a cafe. We had the beef casserole and spicy prawns with some house cocktails and even the chicken sandwich was to die for. Sabina is the most delightful and charismatic woman. Her warm and caring hospitality were truly memorable. We sure hope she comes visit us to Mexico. She freely and thoughtfully shared her advice about travelling around NZ. Honestly, we would dine here if we lived in NZ. The flavours will live in our memory forever. Thank you for a great experience”

“Great service great food. For $13 my tray was full. Have also tried the blue cod with chips and recommend this place for your standard fish n chip stop.”

“This spicy seafood noodle soup is great to have a rainy day. Not too spicy, no artificial taste and fresh ingredients. Love to try other menu.”
