Food establishment in Christchurch

“Always good to find a good curry. Have been told to try it many a time and no regrets. Great food and service. Will definitely go again as being english always good to find a good curry even if its a bit out of the way”

“Have experienced super good service here! The staff are always friendly and I’ve often been given a complimentary drink, which is such a nice touch. I usually get delivery or pick-up rather than dining in, and it’s always been super fast and ready when I arrive. Portion sizes are generous, the food is always delicious, and they consistently have great deals available online. I even took my grandparents here once, and now they’re huge Thai fans too! Definitely one of my go-to spots & would highly recommend!”

“Five-star service! The atmosphere here is perfect—very relaxing with cozy music and a nice interior. I was particularly impressed by Lois Law. She went above and beyond by helping me secure a booking early and provided excellent recommendations. Her friendly and kind nature really stands out. I’ll be returning soon for sure!”

“Fantastic food, great pricing, the chilli oil is the best, top tip is to see if they are open before you venture out as the shop hours/days are a little random compared to usual restaurants, but well worth it..”

“The food was DELISH! Loved the different little tasters we got in our bento box’s, all so succulent and divine. We always stay at hotel 115 and I’ve never been here before, It’s good to know it’s nice and close and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Christchurch for work. Such a cute little place and the staff are lovely. The only thing id recommend, is they need The lights to be a little softer while dining, would make it a different vibe again if they were dimmed. But that’s isn’t a deal breaker of course haha!”

“The food here was so delicious I had to come back twice during my stay in Christchurch. I ordered the Grill Beef on Rice, along with a Chicken Teriyaki Bun (50 cents of the sales of the buns goes to the Arts Centre). I left feeling nice and full. Give this place a visit if you're the mood for some good Asian food at a good price.”

“A hidden gem bordering the city centre! Fast and friendly service. Delicious, fresh and authentic Japanese food. Great portion sizes and pricing. Welcoming atmosphere with lovely decor.”

“Hot, fresh, delicious, incredibly affordable. Best place in Christchurch, hands down. Staff are so lovely too!”

“We were seated promptly and given food and drink menus. Both of us opted for the beef fillet, one rare and the other medium rare. They were done to perfection, melted in your mouth and were tasty. The accompanying vegetables were also first rate. There was a good wine list , although not all were available by the glass. My glass of Cabernet Sauvignon was a standout. We thought the atmosphere and service were great and would we would return here to eat.”

“A wonderful evening experiencing a collab with visiting chef Julian from Melbourne’s Navi! Simon and the team put on an incredible menu and as always a wonderful show watching the industry’s best dance around the kitchen delivering perfection and world class service.”

“I had a great experience at this restaurant the other day. The interior is both elegant and inviting, creating a sophisticated ambiance. We visited for lunch as a group of 8 including locals who are regulars here. Many of us opted for the highly recommended their “Chefs pie”: Beef & Ale Pie, a generous portion of flaky pastry filled with savory beef,buttery cabbage, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich gravy. It was a delicious and satisfying choice. The other dishes ordered by our group were equally well-received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be returning to this wonderful restaurant.”

“Great ambiance, awesome live music, and the best Guiness in town. The stew is also good, tastes humble as homemade, only wish it was priced just as humble and homemade.”
