Restaurants in Hamilton

On the plate at Angkor Restaurant, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. Portions are generous yet well judged. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Service stays present without fuss.

“Excellent value for money, we go about once a week. It has a buffet style selection of curries, with plenty more options cooked fresh. Best naan in NZ for sure. Lots of vegan options too.”

“I love the Bento box here, a taste of everything. The service is good and we love the decor. Sushi is good too. We enjoyed our meals”

“My husband and I often come here for lunches with friends and get the lunch special (about $14 for curry, rice, a large naan, and a drink) - never disappoints. Incredibly delicious curries and garlic naan, fantastic value for price, quiet and friendly staff, overall my favourite Indian place to eat at!”

“My wife and two of my daughters and I had lunch here. It is a lovely restaurant, nice, friendly staff and the food is of a high quality, extremely well presented, and delicious. Wife + Daughters loved the place and declared it a new favourite. I also enjoyed the food as well but not as immensely as they. The reason is because while the food is very high quality and delicious, I personally found it a little (just a tiny bit) watered down to cater for western tastes. I am not saying it is not authentic, just not quite as layered in its flavouring as you find in some other Chinese restaurants. If you look at the photos you will see that the food is high quality, but you can also probably also tell it is lightly flavoured. The only chilli sauce offered is a sweet chilli sauce that looks just like what you get from a bottle at home. I asked for some chilli oil and got some, but it was fairly bland. Edit: I have since done my research on Shanghai style cooking which apparently has an emphasis on sweetness, lightness, and freshness. So my comments on 'watered down' may be awry, it may simply be that I prefer a more robust regional style of Chinese cooking and this restaurant is offering a genuinely Shanghai style. This style may be influenced by the 100+ years Shanghai was a western entrepot to China.”

“If you love a bowl of Ramen anytime day or night. This is the place for you. The ramen here is delicious. I would highly recommend it. The noodle is thin and the soup is rich. Get the extra akadare as it adds to the teste.”

“Myself ,Partner and adult kids went here for dinner. Delicious food and good service. My partner and I ordered the pork and squid kimchi, kimchi egg roll and dumplings. So tasty! Can't wait to go back”

“Never disappointed at Gulmohar. They have great lunch deals too. We were given a choc naan dessert to try, and it is worth it. Authentic Indian dishes, not sweet like other restaurants do to make it suitable for the NZ pallete. Been going here for atleast 8 years.”

“Had a group of approx 20 for dinner last week and we had a great time. Really enjoyed the Tuna entree, the salad was epic! The restaurant dealt with all my complicated paying arrangements as well, so thank you again!”

“Order takeaway from here on a few occasions. The wait time is always short and the food always feels authentic and not 'mall' style curry. We've branch out a few times and tried things not in our usual rotation when ordering curry and haven't been disappointed! Definitely recommend them”

“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!”

“The best Chinese restaurant in Hamilton! Nice spicy food very delicious. The only day I don’t come to eat is Tuesday. Only because they are closed on Tuesday lol! It’s not like Sichuan food which is just spicy, the food of Xiang style is more focused on flavor and taste. Highly recommend!”
