Food establishment in New Zealand

“Service was positive her name is Simran her hospitality and friendly service made me feel happy by her greetings and the positive service she provided. We are sorry to see her go as this is her last night. In future may we have positive and vibrant staff like Simran. Thank you lovely for being positive each time we come to pizza hut Papakura.”

“Learned about this hidden gem from family and friends, and dropped by for lunch after picking up groceries. The chicken and squid karaage had the perfect balance of crunch and tenderness, while the egg and potato salad was a particularly inspired compliment. Loved the calm, cosy vibes of the premises, too - mix of indoor, shaded and outdoor seating available.”

“For me it's the best restaurant in the region, I always come back with my husband”

“Good spacious cafe and bar with great cabinet selection. However, the product and display's name were inconsistent so we ordered the wrong thing (we looked at the name). Ordered a mocha but it was so bitter, not my taste personally. The staff was friendly.”

“Every dish was divine. The menu is super vegetarian and vegan friendly and the staff are welcoming.”

“I really enjoyed my meal AND the dessert! It was quite a treat, at an affordable price and great quality. The eggs Benedict wasa great portion size and perfectly cooked. I also had an orange almond cake - yummy... The coffee was great. This cafe is somewhat slightly hidden , but it's worth finding it !”

“Good spot for South Indian food. We tried Dosa and the kids ate idly, it was prepared fresh. The staff was very warm and helpful. We also drank coffee, which was not a traditional filter coffee but it was good. Good spot to enjoy Dosas.”

“Very cosy and chill vibe. Nice menu and just a cool place to hang out and meet up!”

“It's like stepping into a little pocket of Japan. I really enjoy the slower pace of this place. And ordering a few things at a time. They have a top 5 recommended skewers list, and I'd have to second it. The only other thing I'd add is the beef tongue and the grilled rice balls. The latter has such an interesting texture when grilled. The karaage is also a classic must have, as well as the beef tataki. I've also tried the gingko nuts and it's quite the interesting flavour and texture - worth trying once. Though Google tells me I shouldn't eat more than 7 of these nuts in a day... Great sake and classic Japanese beer options. And a very cosy ambience. If you're not a big group, would recommend sitting by the kitchen. Always fun to watch them grill.”

“Love the spot. Not the first and certainly not the last time we came in for a brunch with friends to enjoy the delicious food and atmosphere, personally love the outdoor area, however, the place has ample of space for any taste and preferences.”

“Seriously good indian food the amount of spice they give you they don’t play and their chilli oil too makes it the hottest Indian restaurant the lamb curry is very flavourful and good with the butter naan and even the rice too has so much flavours”

“Thank you to the team at The Oakroom for hosting an excellent lunch with an important client. The food was fantastic, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. You truly made our end-of-year client lunch memorable! Regards, Grant”

“Weekday lunches are guaranteed at this restaurant, which is conveniently located next to a sushi shop. I frequently visit with my colleagues for a slightly upscale lunch. The average price range is around $21, making it a bit expensive, but the consistently recommended food quality and quantity make it worthwhile and fulfilling. Personally, I enjoy their crispy chicken with rice and braised pork belly on rice.”

“Hands down favourite dumplings in the whole wide world has to be the pork and chive in spicy sauce. Their ‘hot’ is not to be underestimated, but even though it burns a little for me it’s well worth it. Dan dan noodles a nice accompaniment to the dumplings but not a must. Portion sizes are huge so always go for the Small if in doubt. Fell in love with the original Basu Lounge in Takapuna but I really rate their Browns Bay location more.”

“We had dinner with my wife's family In cafe Hanoi a few weeks back and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the staff was really engaging and the dining setup was impressive. The food standout for the Taste, presentation and Verity of different dishes. I would love to come back again next time while we are staying in Auckland.”

“Want last week to get the bacon backfire.. seriously you can tell the team love working here with their chilled vibes , making the customers feel welcome and most importantly the quality of the burgers are legendary .. such a nice place to murder a burger!”

“Had the best creamy mushrooms I have ever had! Food was so delicious, my partner had the eggs Benedict and said it was so yummy. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!!”

“We had a great time at Poco Loco. Great food and staff were very helpful. The croquettes are a must try! Must visit if you’re after authentic Spanish tapas.”

“Selected the tasting menu which was superb, the staff had a great knowledge of the plates they were serving, each course was a delight. Going with the tasting option gave us the opportunity to sample the dishes we wouldn't ordinarily select. Learnt some fantastic new palate and flavor mixes. The head chef visited us and personally grated the fresh Christchurch Truffle which was amazing. All in all we can't fault the experience. Pricey yes but well worth it. Sorry the food pictures don't do the meal justice.”

“Delicious Satay lamb stir fry noodles $22. Excellent customer service. Prodominately Chinese themed menu and restaurant. Large portions, delicious hot temperature food.”

“When ever you arrive at Joes you are always greeted with a warm welcome and smile from the amazing staff!! You always know the service and Food are always outstanding. I so highly recommend Joes Epsom!!”

“Went in and had a few drinks. Luvd the vibe. Super friendly staff and patrons.”

“I was served by Oliver and Toby. The food was so delicious 10/10. I came at 9:30pm and food tasted fresh, they made the order so fast. I am so full after this and I will definitely be coming back here.”

“I had an incredible dining experience at Poni!Each dish was a masterpiece of flavors and presentation. The ambiance was inviting and the service top-notch. Poni is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable gastronomic journey. Five stars for chef Andrew without a doubt!”

“This restaurant has lots of wines with reasonable prices. And manager’s recommendation made my dinner perfect. Foods are delectable and you have to pair with wine. You can see a Mission bay with your meal, that makes you comfortable. Wonderful place!”

“I rate this as the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever tasted. The sweet and sour pork as well as the chow mein are my favorite dishes. Their service is excellent and they operated safely through Covid lockdown. I hope they become available on Uber Eats one day.”

“Wow !! What a wonderful surprise today when we randomly selected Vino Vino for lunch on our day trip to Waiheke. Our random choice was due to the incredible views. From the start to the end the service, meal and attention was first class. We have been fortunate enough to eat at some incredible restaurants throughout the World and would have to rate this establishment right up there. The food was faultless with a perfect combination of ingredients.Connie and staff…congratulations.”

“Very busy on a Friday night, so booking is essential. They do have Banquet meal options, but we ordered our own. We had the Crispy Half Duck, Sweet 'N' Sour Pork Belly, Wagyu Beef Pad Seuw, Popping Prawns, Beef Cheek Curry and Green Papaya Salad. Lovely selection of Drinks. Parking around the corner.”

“Delicious! Highly recommend Shahrzad Kebab. Placed a large order for 30 people and they delivered fresh, tasty kebabs and at our agreed pick-up time. Great communication and friendly also, I can't fault them. Thank you, we will be back :)”

“Overall, my family and I (4ppl) really enjoyed their food and service. All our dishes were super tasty and large portions. We ordered: Pav Bhaji, Lamb Dosa, & Amritsari Chole Kulche”
