Food establishment in New Zealand

“Spice World is my go-to store for authentic Indian and Pakistani groceries and spices. They have a fantastic variety of fresh and packaged products—from fragrant spices and lentils to frozen snacks and specialty items you can’t find elsewhere. The store is clean, well-organized, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable, and I always find what I’m looking for. Highly recommended for anyone who loves cooking desi food or needs hard-to-find ingredients!”

“It is a wonderful establishment for purchasing everyday items and lottery tickets. Moreover, Mitul is particularly commendable for his excellent service and the complimentary products he generously provides with each purchase.”

“I can only say that the fettucine pasta that I ordered was one of the best tasting pasta that we’ve ever had. We got chicken breast and added mushrooms and the chicken breast was amazingly tender and flavoursome. It was a hit with the whole family. Delicious!”

“Loved this bakery very nice staffa and the sausage rolls and cheese and steak pies are amazing. I love in Malaysia and I'm Australian so to finally have some good bakery food was like being at home thanks.”

“Came for weekday brunch, was peaceful with fast service. Lovely coffee. Food was delicious, we ordered the Spiced Kumura and Huevos, and would order them again. Also has wifi, and decent gluten free options.”

“Excellent service on Mothers day where we enjoyed a filling, value for money menu in a friendly customer focused atmosphere. We ate inside where we were able to order off a varied menu. We ordered the benediction breakfast, and the big breakfast. Both were flavourful, with generous portions. The coffee was hot, and well made, in fact we ordered another at the end of our meal, taking our time to catch up without feeling rushed. We met Shaheen the owners wife who was checking to see that we were okay. Thank you to the chef, barista, and welcoming staff who made my mother's day very special.”

“Great store layout with a good selection of products. Friendly helpful staff.”

“Pretzel BLT is great. The pretzel bun is fragrant and soft, veges tasted fresh”

“We've been to “Sticky Fingers Cafe” multiple times now, celebrating different occasions — and every single time, the experience has been outstanding. The “Eggs Benedict” is hands down one of the best we've had, perfectly poached eggs with just the right balance of richness and flavour. The “Chicken Panini” is another standout — crisp on the outside, juicy and flavourful inside, with every bite packed with goodness. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it feel like a cozy local gem. The hospitality is second to none — the staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your dining experience. Special shoutout to Chef Sarath — his creativity and precision in the kitchen are nothing short of magical. Every dish he prepares shows true passion and love for food, and it's a big part of why we keep coming back. Sticky Fingers Cafe has become one of our favourite spots in town, and we’ll definitely continue to come back for more!”

“Beautiful a good place for a lunch with friends, students will serve you and they are awesome.”

“Thanks to the lovely accomodating staff with my breakfast request Keto breakfast was awesome , tonnes of bacon in the Omelette and My Sister n Law had poached eggs and bacon . Coffee was awesome and lovely little pot of green tea too.”

“Excellent food. Perfect service. Loved the smokey bacon and sourdough. I'd buy loaves of bread if you stocked them. Highly recommended. Will be back for sure!”

“A café that feels like home. There are plenty of stylish and trendy spots out there, but this place sticks to the basics — and does them perfectly. The breakfast is always solid, no matter when you go. Nothing flashy, just real, honest flavors that never disappoint. Best café in the East, hands down. Even the coffee is all about doing the simple things right. Morning coffee doesn’t get better than this.”

“Neat and tody place to shop and also we get all our traditional Indian pulses and other groceries”

“I visited today to check out their recent refurbishment. Love the new layout. Great variety of foods and household products on offer. The staff here are always super friendly.”

“We ordered the big breakfast, and smashed avocado. Mochiato with Oat milk. The food was beautifully presented, and tasted even better. Great serving size, not huge but the quality was excellent. and the coffee had a nice strength and flavour, the perfect cup! The place was very clean, staff lovely, not too busy and varied seating, easy parking and nice location. Could do with more street signage”

“What a cute cafe! The adorable barista Aria was so helpful and her energy was a breath of fresh air! She had above and beyond service.”

“JUNE 2025 - new management I've lived close by for years but it has only recently become one of my favorite shops in the area! This place is under new management and they have put a lot of effort into making it a great little shop. It has come a long way in a short amount of time and I really hope they get the customer support need. They have an excellent selection super fresh produce, frozen and pantry food, must have basics and exotic food from around the globe. Thanks :)”

“I visited Columbia mart in November when I was visiting family in Auckland. I am.bit one to write many reviews... But I have to say that it is a fantastic convenience store that truly lives up to its name. It offers a wide selection of everyday essentials, snacks, and beverages, making it a go-to spot for both locals and visitors. What hit me the most and inspired me to write this review was the staff who were very very friendly and helpful, ensuring a truly pleasant experience. Open until midnight, the store is perfect for late-night cravings :).. ..”

“A wonderful Turkish influenced cafe. The Baklava latte was spot on. Paired with chilli scrambled eggs worked well with flavours. Loved the whipped feta beetroot that came with the smashed avocado. They also have a separate kids menu. Our table host Ted was pleasant and gave us a good experience. Beautiful morning wonderfully plated food. Even the butter on toast had a special wrap.”

“Delicious eggs on sourdough. Just perfect and great value. I couldn't stop looking at the cabinet food though - wow!! It all looks absolutely amazing, delicious and wish I could have come back for morning tea... and lunch... and afternoon tea! Everything was wonderfully presented as well. What a great spot!”

“Delicious food- we sat in the sun with our 3 dogs on a lovely autumn day… service was great. Fantastic spot… a bit of Africa in NZ”
