Restaurants in Christchurch

“We had a lovely breakfast, Emma service was fantastic she was very accommodating for us and our daughter. Makes a killer coffee and we loved the shrimp roll. Really lovely atmosphere. Would head there again.”

“Just landed in Christchurch and headed straight to the restaurant. The food is authentic with great service! If you are looking for Asian food, especially Taiwanese street food that brings to the table. You are going to love it! Highly recommend if you travel around Christchurch!”

“The restaurant itself is not that spectacular to dit in, but luckily the beach is just some meters away. Getting takeaway at eat at the beach is the best choice to make. We only gad to wait 20 minutes for two dishes, which were really tasty! The butter Naan was also good. This restaurant has a wide variety of non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes which all have a good price.”

“Awesome huge servings of great tasting food. 1 order was easily enough for 2 people. During winter the wait is very cold.”

“had an amazing kids-birthday party there. Delicious finger bites, time and space in a stress free environment after lots of jumping action prior. just what we needed! Reservation process and food choice flexibility was smooth and simple. I rang up, shared my vision, we arranged time, date and space requirements and common-sense rules few days ahead. On the day staff supported us just the right amount, there when we needed them but no gathering otherwise. VERY HAPPY to support a LOCAL BUSSINES and help them thrive as they do offer some outstanding flavors that people are simply to 'chicken' to try chicken in a different flavor.... but all our guests were amazed too. see you again 100%”

“Best Chinese food I've ever had so far in this country.”

“I absolutely LOVE this place! Prior to having discovered this place, I absolutely could not stand Chinese takeaways. These guys have proved me so wrong in my opinion and changed my mind! The quality and price are so good and not to mention their hot chips are just the cherry on top!!”

“Asked for combo to be made up of sushi and it was no problem. The service was friendly and fast. The sushi was excellent! And its a modern, very clean nice place to be inside. I will definitely be back.”

“The pizza is expensive but very very delicious, especially the buffalo chicken pizza! The store doesn’t have a lot of seating but there’s normally always at least one seat free. The workers are friendly and overall the store has a very nice vibe to it!”

“Surprisingly nice food and service, despite only having one staff by the time we got there. He is friendly, super patient and helpful when taking our orders. The pizza is also great, it’s got crispy crust and not too soggy or oily, we really enjoyed it.”

“Best in this area. We have tried other stores too but this one is excellent in service, hygiene and taste. Always top notch on everything. Thanks Reema”

“Ordered a Sir George and a Vege Supreme pizza . Staff were friendly and accommodating. Pizzas were ready within 10 minutes on a Friday night. Got it to takeaway as I find the atmosphere to be crowded with everyone else in there little high eatery . Pizzas are great with a perfect base and that authentic wood fired taste . Flavours on pizza are perfect. Can highly recommend getting the crust dipping sauces to accompany the pizza either by dipping the crust or putting directly onto the pizza . Highly recommend going along and trying .”

“Had the most amazing 21st Birthday dinner here. We come here all the time for dinner but the service tonight was absolutely amazing! Daragh was the lovely gentleman that took care of us most of the night, he had wonderful service and such a warm presence which made it way more enjoyable! And we had Ayung taking care of us the rest of the night and she was amazing on checking up on us and making sure we were happy all the way up to the end. So thank you so much to the team for everything! We will be back soon!”

“Great place for food and drinks!! Misceos has an awesome atmosphere and styling. The food is served fast and is always delivered to a high standard. It is best to make a booking for lunch and for larger groups as this is a popular place. There is also a takeaway pizza service. However it can get a little noisy when full”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Unique and Memorable Dining Experience Maharaja Indian Restaurant in Christchurch is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home.

“We recently dined at Mumbaiwala in Christchurch and had a fantastic experience. We ordered the Mumbai Chicken, the Lamb Chef's Special of the Day, Kadai Chicken, Chicken Biryani, and fresh naan. Everything was full of flavour, especially the Mumbai Chicken and Kadai Chicken – both had just the right balance of spice and richness. The Lamb Chef’s Special was beautifully cooked and tender. The naan was soft and perfect for soaking up the sauces. The only slight letdown was the Chicken Biryani – it was decent but didn’t quite stand out compared to the other dishes. Service was friendly and prompt, and the ambiance was vibrant and inviting. Definitely a great place for authentic Indian food in the heart of Christchurch. Looking forward to our next visit!”

“We come here every week for Friday lunch. The lunch combo is a great deal and the right amount of food so you don’t fall asleep at your desk in the afternoon. Service is friendly and speedy.”

“Beautifully cooked. Nice balance of spices to give a nice taste. Very tasty and yummy food. We tried 3 different dishes and all were delicious. Highly worth while going to check it out.”

“We recently had catering from Aroma Delight for an event, and the food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by everyone. A special shoutout to Prince, who arranged everything for us. He was extremely nice, humble, and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend their service and food!”

“Friendly and quick service. The food was nicely presented and tasted amazing! The flavours were beautifully balanced. The atmosphere was good but a little too noisy for me.”

“The green curry hit all the right spots on a cold winter day. Might be one of the best I've ever had. Can't ask for a better curry and service.”

“Hands down the best food I have had in all of New Zealand. I went to Spice Paragon with zero expectations as most Thai food in Christchurch is quite average. The prices were a bit much for me at first glance, as I often run on tight budget. Most of the time I will argue that expensive food is not worth it past a certain price point, but that argument failed here. The food arrived within 10 min of ordering and was absolutely stunning visually. We ordered the Pad Thai and a beef dish with a red curry sauce (I can't remember the name) that the waitress recommended. The Pad Thai was delicious, but the beef dish stole the show. The meat was tender, full of flavor, and the sauce it was bathed in was delectable. Portion sizes were large. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and attentive for New Zealand standards. The evening atmosphere would make this restaurant a great spot for a date, or a nice dinner with friends and family. If you are looking for a nice dinner spot with bold flavors in Christchurch, this is the place!”

“Both the shoyu and miso ramen was very tasty. Similar to what we had in Japan. The gyoza was nice and juicy. It would be better is it was hot off the plate.”

“Never fail to disappoint, always a treat to go here. Food was amazing and staff was extremely nice and helpful. Would like to go back when I return to Christchurch soon.”

“Fast serving, value got money on lunch menu, cheaper price with massive portion that you can actually be 2 meals!! Have to enquire on vegetarian options as not clearly indicate on menu.”

“Absolute amazing. The food was perfect, one of the best meals my wife and I have had and we eat out a lot. Great service as well! Definitely recommend!”
