Food establishment in New Zealand

“We opted for a range of share plates in lieu of mains - the pull-apart garlic loaf, pork belly bites, bacon wrapped scallops and calamari. Four plates was enough to fill two of us up, and the food was AMAZING - just good food well prepared and executed. I stepped out to take a phone call and by the time I came back, our food had arrived. The staff were awesome - personable, attentive, authentic and helpful. Kate in particular put us right at ease and was the consummate host. A nice, quiet table, great music not too loud to preclude conversation, and staff that seem like they actually want to be here dealing with you... that was the point of difference! Highly recommended.”

“Came for a meeting and destroyed a coffee.. it was so strong it knocked me over chair and all.. onlookers gawked and children cried but I was OK. The cheese scones are apparently amazing, although I don't know how far the dollar stretches as my food was shouted for me.. give it a go, give it a review and improve on this review. Try the coffee it was nom.. peace”

“The cafe is casual and relaxed and the staff are really friendly. Food is really good - there is a lot of choice and ability to customise your meal. And the bonus of it being next to Bunnings is there is plenty of parking.”

“Lovely coffee with a calm atmosphere and plenty of seating”

“Excellent place to shop, gets a little busy after work but aisles are spacious enough to keep a comfortable shopping experience. I like the hot food section - it saves me from those "don't feel like cooking" nights. Staff are nice and helpful. It's place in the middle of Tawa high street just makes it more attractive to visits.”

“Everything you need (& more) in a modest-sized, well-organised store. Efficient, friendly staff and good quality products.”

“I use the delivery option...the personal shoppers are always very good at substituting items that are out of stock and also when there's free samples, they're good at making judgements and choosing based on the rest of my shopping. The delivery people are very nice too, my dog yells at them but they calm her down by chatting to her through the door. Using the delivery saver is cheaper than it would be for me to travel there and I don't have to carry anything up/down stairs or hills”

“New World is very close to my house and the best place to go shopping to. It has food for years, has food for anything you’re looking to get. They have a good service, very easy shopping with the staff and clearly marked aisles. They have kind chatty staff and the staff can easily help you find what you’re looking for. They never run out of stock, so if what you’re looking for isn’t there, ask staff to get it. New World is definitely one of the greatest shopping markets in NZ.”

“Friendly staff well stocked, and stuff are on specials. Thanks for the good experience”

“Great prices,Friendly staff.Great selection.”

“Just finished up a lovely night with the girls celebrating one of our friend's birthdays. We were served and looked after by the wonderful staff Rob. Want to say we were so impressed by his customer service, he went above and beyond and made our night a core memory. thank you Rob and staff for a wonderful night will be back next month!”

“Oh wow, I’ve couldn’t asked for more… The food blew my expectations with a mix of both gourmet and the pub grub that comforts the belly. Ordering was a breeze (thanks Rosie!!) the food arrived faster than my typical “fast food” visit, and the atmosphere at the quiz was like I was playing The Chase with Bradley Walsh. I’m making this my regular - Thanks Realm Team!”

“Stopped here recently for a Quick brunch on a Saturday morning and I was blown away for more than one reason - courteous staff, quick service, great indoor and outdoor ambience and most importantly tasty food. Walked in- immediately greeted and seated. Ordered sourdough bread with spicy scrambled eggs and coffee. Initial thoughts - pricey. But when the order came through, I must admit it was worth every penny. It was a visual treat and tasted amazing. A humble dish elevated to a whole new level and generous portions. Needless to say - I literally cleaned up my plate. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend this place.”

“This is a lovely place where to sit, enjoy a cuppa, and even get some work done. I love their modest but delicious GF options and their music selection is on point. Running into a friendly 4 legged patron from time to time is bonus that brings extra joy to my day.”

“I recently visited Cafe Figg with my family and had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance. The croissant was flaky and buttery, the filo was perfectly crisp, the panini was filled with flavorful ingredients, and the corn fritters were a delicious twist on a classic dish. Each item was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend Cafe Figg to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. Five stars all around!”

“Normally stopping for a cup of coffee here but today I tried their meal. Since I eat keto, I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and mushrooms without toast for $20(May 2022) Happy with the amount of food. Great service, friendly staff.”

“great food, super good value for money too, big portions. food tastes great. staff friendly. like that it's spacious and it's quite big so plenty of room.”

“If I could rate Palace Cafe higher, I would. There are three stand out things here. First, is the truly home made cabinet food. It's so wonderful to go somewhere and not see the same old bulk supply slices and biscuits. This is food with real flavour. Second is the delicious, generous and very reasonably priced meals. You won't walk away hungry or broke. And then the most valuable thing of all is the service. Here, there are genuine smiles and welcoming words that make you want to return just to experience the hospitality again.”

“Great atmosphere and pretty good food too.”

“Wow!! I ordered a chicken fillet burger with extra bacon and a curry roll and I am amazed! It was super delicious and I ordered it as a late night snack to eat when I got hungry, but I instantly demolished the burger as soon as I arrived home. I have never had such a great burger that wasn't from WOAP. Great job!!”

“Ordered the platter for two, plenty of food, fast service, good eating”

“What a cool little spot! Totally unsuspecting that what's inside is so awesome. The food was absolutely outstanding. We all got their wellington on a plate burger which by the way, was my top of the competition. Great quality food and the drinks were great too, huge selection of beers. Such a cosy atmosphere and the service was great. Overall, great spot and I would return”

“Delicious and fresh. Best salmon sushi I've ever had. Specially made fresh avocado sushi for the kids.”

“Pulled in here for a couple of drinks and a game of darts, what a fabulous place. We were on abit of a time limit but we really wanted to stay longer and get some food too, we really wanted to kick in for a long one. Had everything we wanted, bar stools and tables,, cosy lounging area with style, an outdoor area, a TAB, this place has alot to offer, lots of great food choices too, oh and a unique looking fire place to sit around on these cold days. Would I come back again, hell yes, loved it”

“Fantastic food. Our favourite curry in Wellington. Butter chicken, Chicken Vindaloo and Do Piaza are amazing. Thank you”

“Love this local gem in Tawa. Reasonably priced with huge portions. Food is delicious and service fantastic. BYO.”

“It was one of the best tasting Indian restaurant meal we have had in many years. Great service and the food was wonderful. At home now and still have a wonderful taste in our mouths. Highly recommend.”

“This is a hidden gem ... If you are in wellington CBD you should definitely visit chow restaurant... Food was delicious the mocktails were amazing ... Plenty of seating ... Staff were lovely”

“Absolutely the best seafood laksa ever! I take all my visiting friends and family here.”

“This is the best Chinese restaurant we have ever been too. The waiter was lovely and helped us choose some foods that we were undecided about. Very good prices on the meals and just the food quality is amazing. We got the crab and prawns in a chilli sauce and it was some of the best seafood we’ve ever had. We ended up going twice on our 4 day trip because of how good it is”
