Food establishment in New Zealand

“authentic food, thai interior but i would love to give more than five stars on their exceptional service. They made me feel like travling Thailand! Must try Thai curry here!”

“First time visitor. We ventured over to Devonport for brunch. Made our choice to try Manuka. I had the rost with smoked salmon and small flat white. The rosti with salmon, poached egg was wonderful. Being from Wellington I sort of smiled when I was asked if I wanted my coffee with a double shot, this is a given in Wellington. Coffee was great. Service professional but friendly.”

“Great place to experience Yum Cha, Food is great and has good selection of Hong Kong style food for all appetites and family diet preferences. Well priced and value for money.”

“The food was very nice here. I ordered fried fish and other stuff. Food is big portions here. Nice with two people or a group sharing plates. Customer service was nice. Heaps of parking outside.”

“Spacious restaurant with plenty of parking. Good dim sum place with reasonable price. However, please be mindful that if they are busy, your dining time is only 90mins and no matter you still want to order more or not they will tell you time is up.”

“As soon as I walked into the restaurant, it felt like I had stepped into another country. The food was delicious, and the overall service was very satisfying. I think I’ll be coming back again.”

“My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant. We went in to celebrate my birthday, and the staff made the night truly special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and they surprised me with several thoughtful extras throughout our visit, which I really appreciated. The food was exceptional, everything tasted amazing, and our order arrived surprisingly fast. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Probably the best yum cha spot in Auckland! The food quality here is definitely a step above other well-known places. We came for a Saturday brunch with my family and my wife's family, and the place was already busy right from opening at 11am. Every table was full by lunchtime, so I was glad we had made a booking! Ordering was super easy using their QR code system, which showed clear photos of each dish. It was really helpful for choosing what we wanted. We ordered quite a variety, including their popular black truffle dumplings, steamed prawn dumplings, Mr. Lobster deep-fried prawn paste in shredded pastry, deep-fried spicy beans for salad, and a lobster congee to share, along with a few more dishes (not all pictured). Dish highlights: - Black Truffle Dumplings: Absolutely my favourite! There are two versions, and both were rich, fragrant, and full of truffle aroma - a must-try. - Steamed Prawn Dumplings: Fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked - classic done right. - Deep-Fried Prawn Pastry (Mr. Lobster): Super crispy on the outside and beautifully tender inside. Loved every bite. - Spicy Beans for Salad: Crispy, flavourful, and surprisingly addictive. - Lobster Congee: Smooth, comforting, and generous with lobster - perfect for sharing. Even though the restaurant was packed, the staff were friendly, quick, and attentive. They took the time to answer our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. I have been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. They do yum cha only in lunch time, so it was important to us meeting in lunch time. The only downside is that prices are higher than other yum cha places, but the quality and flavour kinda justify it. Highly recommended, and make sure to book ahead.”

“Highly recommended — and dog- and baby-approved! We had such a fantastic time at Fabrics in Hobsonville! A special shout-out to the incredible gentleman who seated us. His warm attitude and friendly accommodation set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. The ambience is just stunning — stylish yet cozy, with a great vibe that makes you want to stay longer. We paid $84 for two dishes and two drinks but the experience, service, and setting really do justify it. If you're looking for somewhere to treat yourself or take visiting friends, Fabrics is definitely worth checking out.”

“Last week was my first time in Pizza Club, Westgate....it's my local so gave it a try....the server was good BUT the pizza was better.....luvly!!! I went back this week and told them I was going to review them.....thoroughly recommend the bbq chicken and he recommended the cranberry chicken for my next one....that's gonna be this week.”

“I recently visited BIG TIKKA and absolutely loved the experience! The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the spices were well-balanced, and the rice was fluffy and aromatic. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was beautifully presented. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and elegant, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff were polite, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout.”

“My Favorite NZ Spot: Where Every Weekend Was Magic (2000-2002) "This isn't just a place—it's a core memory! From 2000 to 2002, this was the exclusive weekend spot for my friends and me. I practically lived there and knew the whole staff; they were always so friendly and genuinely attentive. The atmosphere was super fun, and honestly, I still miss those nights! It holds so many great memories. I've already earmarked a return trip whenever I'm back in New Zealand. Can't wait to visit again!"”

Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back again!”

“The fries here are really good, personally recommend the chunky or classic - I have these all the time. Burgers are delicious too and come with vegan cheese. If you haven’t been back in a while you will notice that the burgers are much bigger now. Which is a bonus!”

“The best pizza in Auckland. Quality is always the same as I am their customer for many years. Lots of flavor , fresh , moderate spice, friendly people. Highly recommended.”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chaska in Otahuhu, and the experience was truly delightful. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes including the Chole Bhature, Paneer Parantha, and Bread Pakora. The Lassi and Chai were the perfect accompaniments, adding a refreshing touch to our meal. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured we felt welcome throughout our visit. If you're craving authentic Punjabi cuisine, look no further than Chaska. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!”

“Very good butter chicken and nan bread, I just found this place yesterday and have come back the following day for some more, they were very nice and had even given me more nan then I’ve asked for, would recommend there butter chicken and white rice, and there nan bread too.”
