Food establishment in New Zealand

“Yesterday, my husband and I went to Parnell Farmer's Market for brunch. In one of the stalls, a gentleman invited us to try his product. He dipped a cracker on some tandoori paste and gave each of us a piece. Ohhh that taste in my mouth was just tandoori heaven. We could not say No and had to purchase one. Leaning on the advise/recipe of the gentleman, we purchased a pack of chicken and coconut milk to make some lunch for today. And boy did @dollymummanz 's tandoori make me a masterchef today!!! So, thank you #dollymummanz We will be back for more, that's for sure!”

“One of the best sushi places on the Shore. Such an impressive selection of sushi, lots to choose from. Ingredients are super fresh and are of highest quality. Service is super friendly, so if you're looking for great sushi, try U Sushi, you won't regret it.”

“A wonderful team of professionals who have looked after my family and I for many years. My daughter has a severe needle phobia and Sam was amazing in creating a calm, reassuring environment especially for her to be vaccinated in recently. The whole team are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable - an invaluable local resource.”

“Excellent service thank you Lana for the awesome advice on your products. My boy loves his Omie lunchbox. Keeps his food warm till lunchtime. Also very convenient, can click and collect from Albany.”

“Great coffee and excellent service”

“Been taking Abeeco Natural bee pollen for almost 5 years now. It does cost quite a bit of money but it definitely works, I used to always be susceptible to colds and they’d last almost 2weeks. Now I barely get them and they’re nowhere near as bad! Definitely recommend!”

“The restaurant Troy completely exceeded my expectations! The chef truly deserves special praise. The service in the Restaurant was friendly and professional I feel very welcome there. This is genuine à la carte dining at a high level, with fair prices and absolutely no compromises on quality.”

“Really like this place good price and service”

“Such a nice owner, and the coffee was absolutely delicious, thanks so much!”

“The ingredients are really fresh and delicious. Beautiful presentation. I love this dish. You should definitely give it a try.”

“Very friendly and great coffee!”

“Tío Pablo is a gift to Aotearoa. At risk of sounding overly dramatic: The fact that we have access to prompt doorstep delivery of all the main dried chiles and masa harina—in generous bulk quantities too—truly improves the quality of life here on the island for those of us Mexican-food lovers. Have been ordering from them for about 5 years now, and they've always had exceptional speed/service. The only thing I'm still missing here in NZ is access to fresh tomatillos, but can't fault Tío Pablo for not diversifying into fresh produce ;) Thank you for existing and for the great work you do, team!”

“After not finding much success at other gym’s in the area I happened to stumble across NZ Iron Strength. The equipment is high quality and great variety. The staff and insanely friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend NZ Iron Strength to anyone in the area looking to train!”

“I had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Japanese restaurant in Auckland, and I can confidently say it was one of the most authentic and memorable Japanese meals I’ve had outside of Japan. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the quiet elegance of the space, which set the tone for an outstanding dining experience. The quality of the food was truly top-notch – every dish was beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and rich in flavour. You could taste the care and precision in each bite, from the freshness of the sashimi to the perfectly balanced broths and delicately seasoned vegetables. It’s clear that the chefs are deeply committed to traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. What stood out just as much as the cuisine was the service. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind – attentive without being intrusive, and always ready to explain a dish or recommend a pairing. Their hospitality added a personal, thoughtful touch to the meal, making it feel not just like a dinner, but an experience. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Auckland, this place is a hidden gem.”

“Absolutely fantastic coffee 11/10! Great value, wholesome, and tasty food options. The homemade cookies are a must try!”

“OSSEWA BILTONG IS AMAZING!! I travel about an hour from the shore to Takanini for the Red wine and garlic biltong. If your like me and prefer wet over the drier stuff, they always have a few fresh bars under the counter if you just ask.”

“The service is very warm, like a little sun. There are many Taiwanese specialty foods. Some famous Taiwanese products and locally made Taiwanese delicacies need to be reserved for group purchase. Financial intelligence + emotional intelligence = getting rich, I hope the business will be prosperous”

“Best Cafe on Waiheke Island! What an amazing place. Great Food, superb drinks, lovely atmosphere. I tried the new smoothies - absolutely amazing…so full of flavour and healthy!”

“a really good place to get your Japanese/Korean fix with reasonable price. I've tried their udon, lunchboxes and 3 flavours of donburi - not once did I regret. The food taste delicious and freshly cooked. The area might sometimes feel dodgy for those notnused to the city (a pity) but lunch hours should be fine.”

“One of the best meals I had lately. Delicious, authentic, fresh and great portion size”

“Everytimeq when I visit here always feels like home, friendly hospitality, great toasted sandwich and coffee. highly recommend.”

“Very cute little bar with great beers! Our bartender was super friendly and we had the best time getting to know him and talking about the beers in the area. Love the craft beer community in the area!”

“Coffee Outdoors is the absolute best! I love that Shev and the team stock the gear they genuinely use and love, it feels like getting a trusted recommendation from a friend. Beautiful, high-quality gear, outstanding customer service and the fastest overnight shipping!”

“Wow. Ordered online and the feed arrived at grazing before I did! Fantastic service from Red Barn. The lovely team goes out of their way to help. Huge timesaver. So glad I found them.”

“100% Vegetarian! Adored this wee family run Persian Cafe! The atmosphere is so cozy. I had a solo work lunch here and ordered their Pirashki and a Napoleon. Pirashki is a Persian pastry! It’s a mini pie type dish filled with tasty lentils. The Napoleon is a cream and flaky pastry ‘cake’ slice! Very classic and it was delicious. I can’t wait to come back here to have a proper meal!”

“This is the best Sushi place in Pōneke! Amazing fresh options. If not made, you can request an 8pc of many types, something for everyone. Katsu bowl is tasty, large, very fresh, and great value (especially compared to competitors). They offer $10 off for every 10 stamps on a card (1 stamp= $10) so if you go frequently it is basically 10% off. Staff are extremely helpful, kind, and friendly. Would definitely recommend if you want to support a local business while getting amazinh service and a great deal for yourself too!”

“Tasty lunch at reasonable price with friendly service. Has been a favourite of mine for years and has remained consistently good.”

“What a great experience, Clint delivered an engaging and entertaining session and I walked away with some learnings to enhance my BBQ skills. On top of that the food was outstanding and the rest of the team involve were fantastic.”
