Food establishment in New Zealand

“Ok supermarket, which is well presented. Plenty of car parking and centrally located in Rangiora. Countdown has a good variety of products. Reasonably priced with most of products that you will need. Good customer service at the check outs and reasonably easy to find assistance if you need help. This supermarket is an ok place to get what you need. Nothing brilliant stands out about this Countdown apart from it's a quite new building, so it is has a very good layout inside and outside.”

“This particular store is quite unique in that they a sell unusual items which you don't find in your typical Chch supermarket. If you're struggling to find something you may just find it in this supermarket.”

“Great customer service. Clean and tidy store.”

“Me and my wife had lunch at Columbus Coffee Rangiora and really enjoyed it. We ordered Coffee , pasta and large fries the pasta was delicious and the fries were excellent. The staff were polite and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended, we will definitely come again!”

“I stopped by Coffee Culture at lunchtime for a mocha latte, and it’s the best I’ve had so far in Christchurch! I’ve been hooked on mocha drinks ever since a tea-tasting ceremony in Japan, where I had the most unforgettable mocha. The mocha latte here had a well-balanced portion of tea powder, delivering a pure, smooth, and hearty taste—perfect for colder weather. However, the mocha powder didn’t fully dissolve, which was a bit disappointing—definitely could use a better tea whisk. The customer service was fantastic! The staff were super friendly, and I was especially impressed by the person taking orders—patient, welcoming, and greeting everyone with a warm smile. The café is also in a great spot, surrounded by a variety of stores, making it a convenient and enjoyable place to visit. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!”

“Very friendly service from the little bubbly Asian lady, that made our day better after the disappointment of 15% surcharges for public holdays and thinking we wouldn't get a coffee and breakfast. No surcharge, thats a bonus, the coffee was good as was the food.”

“I just want to give the Deli staff a shout out - they are AWESOME! I regularly pop in to grab something for lunch and they are always so friendly, and each one of them is a pleasure!”

“Upon further visits to this supermarket, I am writing a new review. I have had nothing but good experiences here. The staff are always so helpful and pleasant to deal with. I believe it will be my new favourite place to do my weekly household shopping. If you go at the right time, there are plenty of great accessible parks available, right outside the door. You will always be able to find a helpful staff member within the store or as you check out. As a person with specific access needs, I can not ask for a more helpful bunch to assist me. I do, however, still think there should be a lift available to the public for the underground parking.”

“Many things are selling cheap here probably because they are just newly opened. One thing that surprised me was that, in the refill station, they have smoothie stuff which are protein powder, and superfood powder, which I couldn't find in other Park N Save, which I really need. Good job!”

“WOW. This is the setting the standards for grocery stores. It's clean, extremely tidy, it's as if care has gone into every item. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the variety is just insane. Hands down one of the best stores I've been to in the world. You can tell people care here.”

“Best place in New Zealand for Australians to eat and drink. Great friendly staff, owners are friendly and very helpful. $25 parmi or ribs with a beer, wine, spirit or soft drink! We ate here every night and even went for the $12 bacon and eggs with free coffee one morning. Could not recommend enough! Large servings and unbelievable quality!!”

“A big The Warehouse with a large selection of items. Decent prices and a very big car park. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to access from both sides of Blenheim Road. Open till midnight.”

“Fantastic Staff and a really Great choice of products. Clean and hygienic. Highly recommended.”

“Shopped at Woolworths Rolleston last week with my baby and had a great experience. I prefer cashier checkout as I have a baby in my hands and always have a great experience with beautiful staff helping me at checkouts. But this last shop Sagar made my day. He was very friendly, he actually cared about my groceries so he packed them very well so nothing gets squished etc. He showed me how to use boosters in the app so I could receive more points and save more in the future. I really appreciate his service and will come back as these kind of days stay in the memory and brighten the week.”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Had an issue with some meat I purchased, i called up the next day and was refunded no questions asked. I felt respected as a customer and for that reason I will keep buying my meat here. Highly recommended. Great range of fresh and frozen meat at affordable prices and great customer service. 5 stars.”

“I had avocado toast here for lunch today. Chef Jessie has delivered the plate to my table by himself. The food was amazing, fresh, delicious and lovely presentated! It's one of my favourite places for healthy delicious lunch. As well they have sparkling water straight from the tap, what is so unusual.”

“We stopped for a coffee and snack and I was amazed to see gluten free cheese rolls! I know its incredibly hard to make anything with gluten free bread and my husband had not had a cheese roll for so long! Even better his gluten free one was the same price as my non gluten free one! Top marks all around.”

“Great place to have fun weekend with live music, food & drinks.”

“I'm on a quest to find the best cheese scone in Christchurch. Someone recommended me this cafe, and let me tell you.... this is my sixth scone for review and you are now top of my list! Truly the best cheese scone in Chch. It's really the flavour that makes it so good. I think a lot of places focus more on texture which is not a bad idea, but it's gotta be well rounded. This scone has it all. I'd love to come back and try the gluten free one. Coffee was also amazing. The two ladies, one on till and one on coffee, were both incredible as well and had such lovely vibes. 10/10 experience”

“I had a wonderful time. I enjoyed a hibiscus tea with the Bubble And Squeak for breakfast.”

“Ordered our hot chocolate. We were going to get a cheesescone each, but there was only one left. So decided against it. Got our hot chocolates, just as we were leaving a fresh bat h came out. We should have asked but didnt. Excellent service and hot chocolate was one of the best we have had.”

“Huge range of food and was tasty considering a buffet. They made fresh garlic naan bread and served to our table. I personally enjoyed the starters like tandoori chicken, lollipops, veg manchurian, paani puri and samosa chat was my favorite. And great variety of desert to end the feast. We will be back again. Thanks”

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chch, really recommended “Kung Pao Chicken” and “Small potato big dish Chicken ””

“I do regular photoshoots for Fat Eddie’s & can’t recommend them enough. Great team, awesome vibe, & a bar that always knows how to put on a good night. Makes my job easy and fun every time.”

“Woah...portions are BIG....ribs were really nice and if you are not too hungry, maybe a starter portion is sufficient. their burger was also super, and beer to go with it. all good. Just be careful though if u are ordering sides, be clear what you ordered and how much extra it will cost. I ordered a side I thought came with the main course and ended up paying close to $10 for the side.”

“Nice pizza, friendly staff and warm atmosphere. We made a reservation at the first table, and only needed 20 per person after the discount.Lasagna is very delicious.”

“Amazing food and excellent service! We ordered naan, rice, and two types of curry — everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The naan was soft and fresh, and the curries were rich and aromatic. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely come back again!”

“Fantastic food and highly respectful wait staff. I loved the Bombay chicken... It was absolutely out of this world. The best part is that you can get Uber eats from this establishment! For the best curry in Christchurch I would say that Corianders is the place to go. They have a superb range of gluten free options.”
