Restaurants in Christchurch

“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!”

“Absolutely love this place. We have had it +5 times and it never fails! The Pad Thai is so delicious and full of flavour, also has decent veges! The green curry is devine! We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Really enjoyed the takeaway from here! The food was tasty and packed well, and they even gave me a free Sprite which was such a nice touch. Great service, will definitely order again”

“Avonhead takeaways has the best Taiwanese crispy chicken in town. We also tried their Korean fried chicken and octopus balls. Very yummy Asian street food with good value for money.”

“I had high tea. The tea itself was fantastic. The pastries and sandwiches were excellent. The staff was very attentive, maybe even over so in the beginning. And then it was hard to find someone when it was time to pay the bill. My one suggestion is that there's no way to take your tea bag out of the pot. Nothing to take it out with and no place to put it. And I don't always like my tea really strong, depending on what type of tea I get. They would also elevate the experience if they had some type of table cover.”

“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!”

“Unfortunately, there wasn't time to take photos, but if you have time, stop by and try their dishes. They are great tasting, portion size, and quality/price ratio. If it's Saturday night, you might have to wait 15/20 minutes, but it's worth it! They also have highchairs and baskets with toys (which was very useful for our little one).”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Styx & Stone. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. For my main course, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana — and it was delightful. Perfectly cooked, tender chicken breast, coated in a crisp, golden crumb, smothered in rich, tangy tomato sauce, and topped with beautifully melted cheese. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the affogato — and it did not disappoint. The balance of smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream and bold, aromatic espresso was heavenly. It’s the kind of simple yet luxurious treat that ends a meal on the perfect note. To accompany it all, I had an iced latte which was perfectly balanced: strong, smooth coffee with just the right touch of milk — refreshing and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. Highly recommend Styx & Stone for anyone looking for an effortlessly enjoyable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Oh my, Lazeez is incredible! The two guys that work at the Marshlands store are so lovely and put so much effort and love into the food they make. The hot salads are dangerously good and the meat on chips are always so crispy. The best part is the flavour of the meats, keeps me coming back at least once a week. Plus how can you not want to go back when they make an effort to learn your order :) Thank you!!”

“Amazing selection on the menu, delicious flavours, and kind staff. Will definitely be coming back”

“Lovely food, good price. Great size!”

“Hannah was exceptional, she was super friendly and helpful! Kids loved her, we will definitely be back :)”
