Beer is ice cold, sake is delicious and hot (if you like it that way) and their service is warm and personable. We can’t say enough about this place and the rad people that run it ❤️”

Always a great spot to get great food, amaaAzing food.”

“Thai Classic has got to be one of the best authentic thai restaurants in Hamilton! I have tried a wide range of their food and it has never disappointed me. Their curries are super flavourful as are the stir fry dishes. The entress are super yummy and all house-made by their head chef. So they taste extra special! The staff are super friendly and inviting and their knowledge about the cuisine is good. The owners are also super lovely people and it was great to go in when collecting my takeaway order, to see all their tables full! They deserve all the hype and business. I will always recommend this place to anyone whos looking for where to go for any celebration, date night or just a delicious takeaway in the comfort of your own home! They also have Uber Eats available which is great!”

“We came to Basil Thai Kitchen for a Pad Thai and were delighted by meeting the lovely owner Bern. We had a pleasant chat while we waited for our food. Didn't wait long and enjoyed the the pad Thai. They also had good vegan option for us. We totally recommend this lovly family owned business. Gretings to Bern from Vitto and Leon from Germany - all the best!”

“Whenever I make the trip down to see family, we always come here. The food is cooked fresh and is really tasty. Staff are lovely as well. I always end up getting the Pad See Ew ..it never disappoints.”

“Incredible place to have dinner! Nice view, attentive staff and superb food. Highly recommended”

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant! We've dined here a few times and the staff have always been very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The set menus come with a good variety of starters and mains, and everyone loved what was offered. The restaurant is also split into three dinning areas, so you have a choice of sitting outside or in a more cosy booth. Very popular restaurant, so strongly recommend booking ahead to secure a table.”

“I absolutely love the chicken Pho here. This is my go to place for that yummy soup. The summer rolls are cheap and look great but they don't have coriander in them so I don't get them. The vietnamese springs rolls are also one of my favourites but I haven't found a good one yet in Hamilton.”

“This is one of the must eat noodle place in hamilton. Everytime when i visit or go pass hamilton i will come and have it.”

The service was excellent, with staff being attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic and delicious food.””

“I recently dined at this fantastic South Indian restaurant that left my taste buds delighted. The menu boasted an array of specialties, including crispy dosas and flaky parotas that were simply irresistible. The lamb varieties were a standout, offering a perfect blend of spices and tenderness that left a lasting impression. For breakfast enthusiasts, the South Indian breakfast options were a true highlight. From piping hot idlis to flavorful vada, the selection was diverse and authentically prepared. The aromatic coffee, brewed to perfection, complemented the meal beautifully.”

“Lookout Bar has a great vibe – awesome views, friendly staff, and solid food. The smoked pizza was seriously good – crispy base, great flavour, and that smoky touch really makes it stand out. Seafood was super fresh, especially the prawns and calamari – cooked just right. Only downside was the sauce on a couple of dishes – felt a bit heavy and overpowered the natural flavours. Would’ve been perfect with just a lighter touch. Still, a great place to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. Worth a visit, especially if you’re into bold flavours and casual coastal dining.”

“Ordered for delivery through their website. Food was fresh, delicious and fragrant and delivery was prompt. Ordering for delivery through their website instead of uber eats also gives you access to their cheap deal for 2 meals which is NOT offered on uber eats!”

“Could not fault the waitstaff or food. The team were knowledgeable and talented in their execution of service. Plates were flavorful, spicy dishes were not overly hot, portions were suitable for sharing, and standard serves of 3 pieces could be made 4 to match our table number. A standout was the cocktail menu, with combinations I’ve not seen before leaving me wondering how to choose 2 when I really wanted to try 4. The space is flexible with indoor, outdoor and standing areas, but book outdoors if the weather is good and the temperature is warm. Would recommend and would dine there again. Thanks for having us.”

“Salt Mango Tree is well worth a visit if you want honest, flavourful Kerala food in Hamilton. Whether it’s for a family dinner and friends , trying something new, or just some soul-food cravings, it ticks almost every box. Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic suishi selection and complimentary miso. But the best bit was the outside tables in the cool shade with green outlook. So peaceful listening to cicadas.”

“Outstanding food! The Wontons are my crack. The sweet and sour Chicken is my lover. The burgers here are also really good, and they have outstanding Thickshakes! This is one of only two fish and chip shops in Hamilton, I like and recommend! These guys are a neighbourhood gem and are criminally underrated. The fish is fresh and flaky, the salt ratio is perfect and they have so many options, that you'll never get bored either! I felt like everything, so I had a UK style Cheeky Chinese, with sweet and sour, crunchy chips, Wontons and a sneaky piece of fish. My lord. What a spot smasher!”

“I was here last night, with a few friends to see Greg Johnson's Vine Street Tour (24.04.2025). What a great venue, nice staff too. Didn't eat there but food looked deelish., so could be a return trip to sample in the not to distant future.”
