Food establishment in Hamilton

“This little gem of a restaurant truly lives up to its high Google rating. As a connoisseur of Indian food, I was impressed by the quality of the dishes. The samosa entrée was superb, and the chef accommodated our request for a combination prawn and chicken madras, making it perfect for sharing and easy on the wallet and waistline. The meal was complemented by a delicious garlic naan and friendly service. This restaurant is a valuable asset to the Raglan hospitality scene. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.”

“Fantastic hand made udon noodles, freshly made with a delicious dipping soup base. The fried chicken was crunchy and flavoursome. Generous portions. Small restaurant with only 3 tables inside but also 3 outside. Friendly staff, oudl definitely come again”

“Fantastic local brewery with awesome beer, staff and atmosphere. Best of all they are dog welcoming. Treats and all. In dog we trust.”

“Great little posse with great coffee and wicked food. Passing thru? or local to the area deffs stop by to check it out ☺️”

“We thought the coffee was great. So was the service. The owners were friendly, efficient and pleasant. And pet friendly! They had a well behaved, small dog and a charming cat keeping them company. Learning nearby. We will choose this cafe again as our Whatawhata stopping place on a drive from Auckland to home.”

“Coffee was really great with satisfying blend and aroma. I liked the latte art design in my flat white that was simply adorable! The brownie cake was good though not really impressed with its lightness and airy-moist texture and it would be better if whipped cream was applied on the side. Cosy atmosphere with a touch of minimalists plant collections, loved it! Great customer service and friendly staffs. I will surely comeback.”

“We really enjoy this coffee. Our favourite is the Columbia single origin. We have a recurring subscription order which works really well. Great prompt service from Phoebe Rose.”

“Me and my girlfriend went to this place and did the bloodstone keep and it was personally the most high quality escape room I have ever been too. We felt very integrated into the story, the puzzle were meaning full and very interactive. The props were amazing. Hints were good and the staff was truly amazing (there was even a puppy while we were waiting which was so cool!!) The staff really added to the story of the rooms (getting into character which I found really cool and funny from sitting at a table nearby.) By far one of my top experiences with reasonable difficulty to do with people. Would recommend highly and 100% worth the price. We only planned to go once on our 2 week trip but with our experience today we will be making a second trip”

“Ordered my product yesterday and it arrived today. Great range of products. Fast, friendly service. They price matched our product and we got bonus items. Couldn't be happier with the speed of delivery and service. Highly recommend. Thanks”

“Excellent Lahm Bi Ajeen. Wonderful flavors. Highly recommended!”

“Fantastic team of vets and nurses. I've been a client for 25 years (and counting) and even though I've moved towns, I travel now to keep with the best. I highly recommend to everyone.”

“We are coming up to our 1 year wedding anniversary on December 9th, and I am looking back at photos from our special day. I’d like to say a huge thank you to Florist Ilene for our beautiful bridesmaids and bridal bouquets. The flowers were gorgeous and wonderfully put together. I have also had my bridal bouquet preserved in resin by Haley at Clearly Preserved. Marie was also very lovely and professional during throughout the process. If you are looking for bridal flowers, I highly recommend Florist Ilene ❤️”

“We were treated to a beautiful authentic French four course dinner last week and it was simply superb! We often visit for lunch, and every time we are greeted with wonderful service and even better food - this dinner was something extra special though! Merry Christmas and we'll see you again soon!”

“Best liquor shop around, very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Can't recommend enough!”

“The only thing bad about Raglan Boat Charters is that eventually it'll end and you'll have to go home - and that will be a sad time. Raglan Boat Charters is a great experience. The staff are amazing, friendly, informative, helpful, will bend over backwards to help you out or get you on a tour. We did the sunset tour on a perfect night and it was a blast. In a truly Kiwi experince, Fish and Chips were delivered before we left - the perfect entree to what was to come. We took a tikitour around the Raglan harbour where the sights were enjoyed and the history of the harbour explained. Birdlife was plentiful, as were the stingray! The Captain gave us a few of his secret fishing spots - but you have to do the tour if you want to find out more about that. As we cruised around, a wicked soundtrack of sing-along party hits played and created a really fun atmosphere. The cruise was more than 90 minutes - incredible value for money and an experience you'll be wanting to repeat quickly! 10 stars.”

“SK Local Pizza in Hamilton is a hidden gem! The lamb and tandoori paneer pizzas were absolutely delicious – full of flavor and perfectly made. The owner is super nice and welcoming. A must-try spot for anyone craving great pizza!”

The kitchen at Hell Pizza Te Awamutu takes a pizza‑first path and lets the food speak. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. A sensible spend for the spread.

“What a hidden gem in a lovely lane! Loving the taste, 1/3 of sugar is sweet enough and the milk is actually rich enough in the milk tea in comparison to other shops, music is great too! The traditional milk tea (from Taiwan) is like the one I had in Taiwan! The owner is an awesome person and the pearls (tapioca pearls) are freshly made too, which is rare!!!”

“Always awesome. As a couple we would visit Bootleg at least monthly and each visit is just a great experience. The venue is comfy, rustic, an excellent example of giving life into an old building. The staff go out of their way to welcome us and free tastings are part of the experience. I am not an avid craft beer drinker, but there are so many other options, cider/sours/ lagers...the rhubarb cider when on tap is amazing. Thanks Bootleg team”

“I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to visit this shop - but I had an excellent experience. Great service, and exactly what I needed in terms of organic flours. The choc pretzels are YUM!”

“Every time I come back to NZ I try to find a great Bacon and Egg pie, well I have found the best pies in New Zealand, tasty, big pie, full to the brim with Bacon and Egg, the Chips were amazing, wonderful food will be definitely back”

“Loved it. There was a good range of Korean street food, most plates costing $12. My husband & I both had the Korean fried chicken with sauce. For $12 each, we each got 4 crispy pieces of boneless chicken, plus pickles. Yummy! It was enough for a light lunch. Quirky decorations. Quick & friendly service. Plan to go back soon.”

“Yum as! I recommend the Teriyaki Tofu Donburi. If you get there early, there are heaps of sushi options to choose from. Staff are delightful.”

“My favorite sushi place in Hamilton, fresh food, good selection and nice staff.”

“Amazing selection of fresh sushi. One of the only places in Hamilton that will still make to order. Great service!”

“I love stopping by when I'm in the area. Staff are professional and kind, and the positive energy they project reflects on to the food they serve. Sushi is incredibly delicious, and so is the Ramen! They have a variety of sushi to choose from, which is a bonus for those wanting to expand their palates. They also have a variety of beverages to choose from, including Japanese imported drinks! The restaurant is always neat and tidy and has a beautiful Japanese feel to it! The atmosphere of the restaurant feels peaceful and calm, and this is one of the many reasons I love coming back here. To note, on my most recent visit to the store, a staff member was so generous that she gifted me and 3 others sweet & salty rice crackers. How grateful we were! Thank you, Sushi Magic!”

“Great sushi train with plenty of options, love the scallops! Longer opening hours than some restaurants , video taken at 3pm, catering menu looks good too.”

“Best Donburi restaurant in Hamilton! Teriyaki chicken donburi was absolutely delicious, my wife had the spicy pork donburi and they were amazing. You’ve got to try them!”

“Exceptional. I had the teriyaki and tempura bento. So nice and fresh. Super quick too!”

“Great food. Tasty, good ingredients. Good vibes.”
