Restaurants in Hamilton

“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!”

Thank you for making our special day even more magical!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We family of 4 people went to buy vehicle from Taupō to Hamilton and we decided to break for lunch. We read such fabulous 5-star reviews that we thought we would try the Welcome Indian Takeaway Restaurant — and it did not fail us at all! The food was just amazing. For having traveled so far, each of the meals that we had ordered was just full of real flavor — in all seriousness, it was some of the finest Indian food we'd ever had in our whole lives. Nicely prepared, beautifully spiced, totally unforgettable and price is so reasonable which anyone can effort compare to others restaurants. The food was equally impressive. The staff were welcoming, polite. Special mention to Bikash for excellent hospitality service — he made us feel so welcome and proved his excellent hospitality service. If you are in Hamilton or even just passing through, this is an absolute must-visit destination. You will understand why so many people give it 5 out of 5 stars after you have experienced it yourself. We will return, again and again! Krishna Sharma”

“We enjoyed an amazing meal here with our family. The atmosphere is really warm and inviting, and the wall murals and artistic creations transport you back to the origins of cuisine and culture. Outstanding cuisine and service. The staff is well-informed and offers excellent suggestions. Would be delighted to return to Pappadomz and dine again.”

“Loveeeee the food here very much!! In our 2 weeks here in north NZ, we visited this outlet several times! The food really authentic. Our personal favourite : butter chicken, the beriyani ( chicken and lamb, both are excellent!) and of course the masala tea! Hats off to the chef!!!! Highly recommended for lunch and dinner!”

“I've been coming here for years anytime we head through TA and have never been disappointed with the food or service! The loveliest family business.”
