Food establishment in New Zealand

“Indian restaurant in Ellerslie. A real gem of a restaurant. Can't fault any aspect of this place. The food was delicious, fresh and tasty and the service was very good. We were a party of 11 and all our meals were made within a reasonable time from ordering. The decor really adds to the experience. I look forward to going back when I'm in the country and in the mood for great quality Indian cuisine.”

“Thanks to SU. She made fabulous Mexican fiesta bowl. Cheers”

“What a sumptuous feast, we practically licked our plates clean! The staff were all very friendly and helpful which made the dining experience such a memorable one”

“We had a wonderful evening at Harbour Society! The environment was elegant and relaxing, with stunning views of the harbour that added to the experience. The eye fillet steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and served in a generous portion. The salmon was also excellent, fresh and full of flavour. Drinks were well crafted and very enjoyable. Service was absolutely top-notch—special thanks to the manager and the Japanese staff member, Kanu, for their warm hospitality. Everything came together to make it a truly memorable night.”

“Today I recommend this shop to everyone. It is a treasure shop with conveyor belt sushi. The ingredients are fresh and the service attitude is super good. It is recommended to call in advance to make a reservation on weekends, otherwise you will have to wait a little longer. It is so delicious. I will come again next time.”

“Wohhh just amazing. What an outstanding experience. Amazing pizza with tempting flavour. Perfect pizza base with excellent toppings. Very quick service. Lovely and friendly staff. Superb suggestion.”

“Just moved into the area and delighted to find a most excellent Indian just around the corner - an unusual finding in Auckland, which suffers from many bland, sugar laden and flavour-free curry houses. Shahi’s food is flavour-rich, perfectly proportioned and of excellent value. Loved the goat curry - rich, creamy and properly spicy as ordered. Service was prompt, friendly and engaging. As new locals Shahi will become our new local and we’ll definitely be back. Yum!!!”

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve had in such a long time! The service, the food, the quality, everything, just fantastic, and very well priced! I’ve slept on this place whilst living in titirangi, I’m going to have to make this a weekly meal!”

“A takeaway snack but We will come back tondine in because the food was amazing. Indian cuisine the way it should be. Fresh real spices and flavors that made me want to order more.”

“Had the fried chicken rice bowl and it was excellent. At $20, a very reasonable dinner. Also had the shredded chicken tacos and they were delicious too -$16. Love how you can just order you own at the counter on the computer system. Lots of seating in the food hall and a nice bar for drinks”

“Hosted my 21st here at Ghost Donkey and it was honestly the best experience ever! The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, their service was friendly, attentive, and made everything run smoothly. The food was incredible (especially the tacos!) and the drinks were amazing. The atmosphere was fun, vibrant, and perfect for a celebration. A massive thank you to Bobby and the Ghost Donkey team for making it an unforgettable night. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a spot with great vibes, great food, and truly exceptional service!”

“This place is really great, and I have had an awesome experience and will probably be coming back soon. The atmosphere is cozy and pretty, and the service is friendly and helpful. I had vegetarian dishes like the vegetarian giozas and the tofu salad and found them very delicious, and the people I ate with had foods that contained meat such as the pork belly and the tiger prawns, and they enjoyed them a lot as well. We also had the Hiuse Sundae, and we loved it. It contained a new and interesting type of food which we had never tried before like the matcha ice cream, the black sesame ice cream and the yukimi daifuku, and it was so different than any dessert I've ever had, it was so great. My personal favourite dessert was the sweet, hot banana and chocolate spring roll. In short, this place is fantastic, it was a great experience and I warmly recommend it.”

“Food was excellent!! Staff were very attentive and friendly. Great to finally go to a Cafe with a decent size table, so many cafes have tables that can barely hold your coffee cup. Will be back to try the omelet next time.”

“I went to a team lunch, and it turned out to be pretty nice. I had a delicious cheeseburger and it seems like a fun spot to catch a game—you can really feel the energy there. The staff were super friendly, and the place was clean. Getting a table was easy, though it can get a bit busy in the evenings.”

“Good local bar and restaurant. Foods are nice and very friendly service.”

“Walked into a hidden Gem in Kingsland. I’d never heard of this place but is a quaint Bar & Eatery that I have raved about. Started lunch with a few glasses with the view of the back of Eden Park. Steak meal was juicy and full of flavour then our sharing plates Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon as well as Spicy Chicken went down a treat. Seemed as if I inhaled the food. Owner/Manager is a cute and outgoing. Didn’t come across as a robot but actually gave us his time. Also knew what he was talking about re menu as the food was devoured in peace (Thats when you know its good and also tasty)”

“Dropped by on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised by their steak special with eat value and cooked just right. The mussels were fresh and nice, definitely a highlight. It is a lively spot, but I managed to get a table straight away with no wait, which was a bonus. Staff were friendly and attentive.”

“So loud in here at night probably because of all of the voices bouncing off the hard walls haha, but friiendly, fun staff and cool underground feeling decor. Reminds of NYC for some reason; like a pub next to an old metro station. Burger was pretty excellent from what I remember. I'll come back at some point.”

“The food was soo good! We all ended up sharing and tasting each one's dish. They were faultless! Staff we friendly, efficient and professional. High recommend. I'll definitely go back!”

“I have tried so many places to find the best dumplings in Auckland and I found them here! The pan fried chicken and chives dumplings are so good, it pairs very well with their house made chili oil. We’ve also had their yang chow rice and fried pork and pineapple with sweet and sour sauce - taste, portion, price = 10/10! Have been twice and so far the quality’s consistent. Happy to have listened to others’ great feedback about Mr. Zhou’s.”

“We came here for dinner on our first night in Auckland and it delivered! Niro and her team were gracious to seat us close to closing and quickly took our orders and served us. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to eat here as part of our honeymoon. The drinks were crisp and the food was incredible. I ordered the pepper steak and my husband ordered the spaghetti bolognese per the staff’s recommendation, and neither of us could stop eating and cleaned our plates. Not to mention the privacy the booth seating provided and the joyous Christmas decor! Highly recommend stopping in if you have the chance.”

“Wow, what a place to be! The staff were very friendly, even though the place was packed! Overall, I would say that there was a great atmosphere and the food was quite good. I would definately recommend as a place worth visiting!!”

“Very good sushi. Don't worry about the 1 star ratings they don't know what they are talking about.”

“My partner and I have been going to this place to get takeout for years and we love it! The food is amazing, portions very generous and affordable, the staff are always super friendly, and it's definitely the most value for money takeout you can get pretty much anywhere! The takeout is cold so you have to heat it yourself, but its 1000% worth it.”

“Best bar in Auckland! The staff, cocktails and atmosphere are impeccable! 10/10”

“The server was very nice, and the overall atmosphere and decor of the place was more business-y than just relaxing. I felt like the music was on the louder side as well. The eggs benedict was delicious (the hash brown was SO crunchy, and I could cut it with my knife as well), and the matcha latte was alright, though it was more on the sweeter side than I would've liked. The food was on the pricier side (which was to be expected in CBD). I'd recommend going with colleagues or friends/dates that prefer more middle to high-end looking cafes. There were lots of space, but most tables were suited for 2 people.”

“Delicious food, great price and portions and they are always happy to add olives on request which I love. Service is always really friendly. Whenever I get lunch from here I always have people comment on how good it looks.”

“Amazing Thai place. Dishes full of flavour. Great portion sizes. Friendly and fast service, even during busy times ordered made very quickly. Would recommend kiwi medium level of spice.”
