Grocery store in Christchurch

“Great local liquor store! Thirst Liquor Islington always has a solid range of drinks at fair, consistent prices. The prices are firm, but you know you’re getting good value. The staff are friendly, helpful, and know their stuff — they make every visit quick and easy. Definitely my go-to spot in the area!”

“Unlike other New World which mainly count on appearance to seem a place selling good food, like the new one in city centre, this one is genuinely a good place. Food here is better than in other New Worlds and it is more likeable. Do not expect too much from butcher and fishery, but still better than others for sure. Recommend.”

“Visited a few PAK'nSAVE stores around the country. Super impressed. Layout is similar. A much larger store. A huge variety. Easy to find. Situated in the mall, which makes access to other stores very easy. Lots of parking across multiple levels. Fresh produce was perfect.”

“Located closer to City Center, this Indian grocery store in one of the biggest I have seen so far in Christchurch. The store has all the grocery essential one needs. Along with utensils and veggies. Plenty of Parking spaces and off street parking. Must visit for all the Indian or any Asian looks for species”

“Had a great shopping experience today, thanks to Yaw and Joel who were very helpful at checkout and packed my groceries with care. They were friendly and professional.”

“HUGE selection of nuts, seeds, many different kinds of flours, dried fruit (food is organic and non-organic) as well as Indian products. Staff really helpful. Buy yourself a chilled Mango Lasso and mild or hot Punjabi Samosa on the way out!”

“Absolutely amazing!! The customer service is what you would expect!! As for the aisles clean and product display perfecto!! So proud to be a customer of here!!”

“I just wanted to leave some positive feedback about Tom Bells at your Westfield Riccarton store. I popped in earlier, made a purchase, and then realised my Farmers Club Card hadn't been linked up properly. When I went back to the till for a quick query, Tom stepped right in. He was brilliant! He sorted the whole purchase out in a flash, making sure my card was added so I got all my points. Tom was so friendly and efficient - he never made me feel like I was holding him up, which I really appreciated. A genuinely great shopping experience, all thanks to Tom. Give him a pat on the back! :)”

“Really good quick service. Pretty much standard layout for a supermarket. Friendly staff, very helpful, and service was quick. Plenty of parking except it can get scarce in peak times. Wheel chair parking and accessible entrance. Lotto, fresh produce, baked goods, fruit and vege generally of high standard and priced quite competitively. I went there Xmas eve and found the experience to be smooth and hassle free. Good range of goods for a moderately sized supermarket with good stocks of the common goods you would typically need to fill the cupboards. Not my local, but I have shopped here several times since its opening many years ago and would definitely recommend it as a good place to do a quick hassle free shop. Top notch staff and pleasant clean store made for a good shopping experience. (For reference I absolutely hate grocery shopping!)”

“Very gentle well behaved and friendly owner and staff. Probably the best I have ever seen or experienced. Products are of great quality, wide range and selection, and very convenient, especially the FREE fish and meat cutting service they offer! Hats off. They go out of their way to help customers out, in two occasions I have experienced myself! Very reasonable (if not the cheapest in town in a lot of products) and conveniently priced items. Very quickly they have become one of the favourite shopping destinations of I and my family. Their curry piece goat meat and whole chicken curry cut packs are the absolute trophy items, as well as the best priced largest mud crabs I have ever seen! Try for yourself and become a fan. Highly recommended and wishing all the very best of luck to this store.”

“My first time there and I just loved the freshly produce availability. And the variety of products”

“This is my favorite Asian Supermarket in the town. Always nice and clean. You can almost find everything you want. Good music taste. Very friendly customer service. Warm and lovely membership policy. Why not choice Basics!”

“The shop keeper was great helped solved a problem with my vape and explained how other vapes work a good selection of pods and flavours to choose from”

“Phenomenal selection, including uncommon ingredients like asfoetida and raw cacao butter. I was surprised at how good their prices are - I compared some of my frequent purchases (tofu, chia seeds) against what I typically spend at New World and Liberty was significantly cheaper. This will be our go-to grocery store from now on!”

“Best Fish and Chips in Christchurch. I haven’t experienced anything close to Fish and Chips like the UK, but this goes very close. Friendly service and great value.”

“Decent selection! Great staff, easy parking and overall decent.”

“This is an excellent Ilam Kosco The new fridges are amazing which means more new food and drink products. The food and drinks including the latest ones taste very good for any time and day. Even though parking is a bit annoying the products Ilam Kosco offers are very worth it in the end. Everyone should come and experience Ilam Kosco :).”

“I visited for the first time this week and was impressed with the selection. A very well maintained shop with friendly staff.”

“HUGE selection of nuts, seeds, many different kinds of flours, dried fruit (food is organic and non-organic) as well as Indian products. Staff really helpful. Buy yourself a chilled Mango Lasso and mild or hot Punjabi Samosa on the way out!”

“Great staff always willing to help.”

“This particular store is quite unique in that they a sell unusual items which you don't find in your typical Chch supermarket. If you're struggling to find something you may just find it in this supermarket.”

“Friendly staff and best shop to buy booze”

“Awesome owner, awesome spot, great for all alcohol needs. You'd be a fool to go anywhere in town but here.”

“Many things are selling cheap here probably because they are just newly opened. One thing that surprised me was that, in the refill station, they have smoothie stuff which are protein powder, and superfood powder, which I couldn't find in other Park N Save, which I really need. Good job!”

“Love this local dairy. Always met with a smile from the owners a d the bread dèal is great. Biggest range of items ive ever seen at a dairy also whixh os famtastic.”

El Rancho | Riverside Taqueria runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and an easy pace. Service stays present without fuss. Meals reach the pass promptly. Serve sizes show solid value. Value feels fair...

“One stop shop for all your Asian food ingredients with competitive prices”

“I took out of town visitors and we were not disappointed. Food was top notch, service excellent. Tables well spaced to allow conversation. A very enjoyable evening. Thank you team.”

“Great dairy fantastic prices lovely people”

“I went into your Rangiora store yesterday. So impressed with the service from the young man that was working. Explained everything i needed to know and nothing was a problem. A+++ for this young man”
