Family dining in Hamilton

“Exceptional Indian cuisine - vast menu with a big range of snacks and sweets too. Authentic curries without cheap shortcuts or fillers - heavy on the spices but balanced enough to please a fussy palate too. Friendly and accommodating service.”

“Excellent , great tasting coffee. It’s always hot and my soy flat white is consistently excellent.”

“Hidden gem in Gordonton! The staff are amazing, helpful, and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious! What more could you ask for? Although every extra thing I ask for, or add to, is never too much of a request and everyone is happy to help. The coffee is always A++ too!”

“We attended the Bowling today it was fantastic. Staff were great very helpful. This was my first time attending your facilities it was a very pleasant experience.”

“Pasta is so delicious and hot! Workers are quiet but super kind.”

“I've been several times, and have enjoyed the pizzas. It's not the 2 big pizza places in New Zealand, so its pizzas are pleasantly different. Good service, with a wide variety of pizzas and pizza sizes.”

“Top-Notch Taste and Service Avalon Pizza Hamilton: A True Gem! What a fantastic find! Avalon Pizza in Hamilton truly exceeded my expectations. I ordered a pizza and a burger, and I can confidently say both were absolute standouts. Each item was perfectly cooked with amazing taste, proving the high quality of their ingredients. Plus, the quantity was generous, making it great value. The service was top-notch, and my order arrived very fast and exactly when expected. This is definitely my new go-to for takeaways in Hamilton!”

“I've been to a lot of Hell Pizzas over the North Island, and these guys are my favourite. Friendly service and brilliant pizzas. I often order plant based creator pizzas, and I can be very particular about my toppings e.g. double portions of mushrooms, half of the pizza having one type of sauce and certain toppings, the other half sometimes being very different. The attention to detail these guys have is impressive, they always get it perfect. Very fair portions, great accuracy with orders, and really nice customer service. These guys set the benchmark for all other Hell Pizza stores around.”

“Enjoy coming here for quick and easy meals. Staff are attentive and friendly. Prices are good and the space is large enough. Not their fault but can be frustrating to get into the establishments on Grey St due to the homeless constantly asking for money to get cigarettes.”

“After a long and busy day exploring Tauranga and Blue Spring, we were starving and decided to have dinner at this place, hoping for a satisfying meal. The ordering process was very convenient and modern—they have iPads for self-ordering, making it quick and hassle-free. The food was reasonably priced and, although it took a bit of time to be served, it was well worth the wait. Everything was delicious, fresh, and flavorful, and we all left feeling full and satisfied. A great spot to unwind after a day of adventure. Thank you for the great meal—we’ll be back!”

“Ordered from here, from the food to the service everything is 100/10 7/2/25 Ordered here again, like I said the last time it was phenomenal 100/10”

“Highly recommend, such tasty food, I had the Black Bean Chicken and my wife the Cashew Chicken, absolutely loved it. Friendly staff, thank you so much!”

“Amazing customer service, fully satisfied”

“Very delicious lunch Dandan dry noodles with braised pork, this is spicy and very flavour full with thin noodles Savoury noodles soup with braised pork Not spicy but they have soy and chilli oil as condiments with flat noodles Don’t go here if you are a bland eater. Fried wontons always yummy Passionade mocktail Lychee mocktail”

“It's a good potion for lunch -16.99 NZD (it's also including for a can of soft drink Staff are friendly and respectful, and serving is good aswell”

“Amazing food as always. Does delivery 10/10”

“Best Indian food in Hamilton. We usually get the dhal or tofu curry. Delicious! Our kids love it too. We travel across the city to pick up from here.”

“Loved this little restaurant. Came here on a whim because it was on the way home but honestly the most flavourful curry I had had in a very long time. Will definitely make the effort to come back”

“Some of the best food I have ever tasted, highly recommend, and I got served by a lovely young man who took pride in what I assume is his lovely parents buisness. I think this might be not only the greatest curry place in Hamilton, but maybe the best one in New Zealand, Highly recommend if your passing through, or even on a regular basis. Everything was to die for. Lots of love, Hdawg.”

“Food was hot .. and they did awesome by keeping the dishes topped up .. very busy little shop ... will diffently be back”

“Got the $45pp sharing plates and a carafe, the girl serving was super friendly, the food was served in 3 parts, and the first plates were fast, and the timing after for plates was on point, the food was delicious and the right amount, was an enjoyable experience that I do recommend”

“I had a wonderful stay at this place. It was clean, well-maintained, and offered great amenities. The weather and views were stunning, and the staff was polite, friendly, and always willing to help.”

The Helm Bar & Kitchen runs with a burger‑led menu and an easy pace. Ribs and steaks arrive seasoned and tender. Pricing lines up with the offer. Buns hold well and patties come juicy. Front‑of‑house...

The kitchen at The Cook takes a classic fish‑and‑chips path and lets the food speak. Sweets lean classic and not overly rich. Fish lands crisp with light batter and chips stay tidy. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally.

Muddy Waters Irish Pub & Restaurant favours a burger‑led mix with clear, clean flavours. Sides support without crowding the plate. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Pricing lines up with the offer.

Keystone Bar and Restaurant favours a breakfast‑and‑brunch mix with clear, clean flavours. Easy carry‑out for a simple night in. Value feels fair for the quality. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch.

“I live in hamilton and eat sushi a minimum of 3 days per week. This is with out a doubt the best sushi shop i have eaten at. 3:30 in the afternoon and still full selection available of hot and cold lovely food. Thanks”

“Great food! So much thought put into the packaging as well. Small shop with just a couple tables, but a great place to eat in.”

“Super friendly and helpful host. Room was warm and comfortable for our short stay. Thank you we will be back.”

“Yum yum and As we can see, there is much salmon in their salmon sushi. So far valuable sushi is not common in Hamilton. The staff is chatty and the service is good. Highly recommended!”
