Food establishment in New Zealand

“Long story short, best green curry I've had in a long while. There used to be some good Thai restaurants in Auckland but this gem in Rotorua is truly AMAZING. What do you expect from a Thai restaurant? Portraits of the royals? Check. Elephant and other 'oriental' decor pieces? Check. Friendly service staff and jasmine rice on plates? Check and check. The place is as authentic as it gets but the flavour is truly commendable. Compliments to the chef for sure.”

“Honestly everything tasted great, however me and others were very surprised to see how small the bowl of chips and gravy were for $16. There were literally 20 chips in the bowl which is almost $1 per chip which i think is very unreasonable. Apart from that everything was 11 out of 10.”

“Great food, perfect quality. Good beach view and lovely people.”

“This is our go-to fish shop. We travel from Hastings as it is so much better than the rest (we are super picky about fish). They are always so kind and welcoming, and the takeaways always delicious. Usual order is a fish burger, scoop of chips, snapper/gurnard, and maybe some extra seafood bits. The scallops have been very small recently but apart from that everything is top notch. No room to eat in store but is one of the best takeaways around.”

“I had a great dine-in experience here. The atmosphere was very good and the servers were very polite and helpful. Unfortunately I ordered a main gnocchi dish and got a spaghetti starter instead but i was hungry enough to not care or say anything. Regardless the pasta was delicious and the restaurant was also able to provide complimentary parmesan to accompany my meal. The portion size of the hot chips for a starter was big and great value. Thanks for the great hospitality!”

“My five stars that I've given are all for our server who was Harshit. Harshit was very helpful, friendly, prompt and made the dining experience very positive. I have to add how good the ambience was beautiful surroundings. My husband and I appreciated watching the birds as we looked out the window while dining. (Not all seagulls)”

“As a visitor from NSW, Australia, I can't believe Woolworths has a pharmacy inside it! And it sells alcohol inside as well! (not a separate store like in Australia). Also saw sausages being sold in a plastic bag! Then my credit card bill still says Countdown instead of Woolworths, which was their old name! New Zealand is truly an interesting place.”

“Absolutely outstanding service from Lisa, the checkout manager at Fresh Choice Roslyn, Dunedin. We asked if it was possible to organise a fruit gift basket — something most places would have simply said no to — but Lisa immediately sprang into action. With a can-do attitude and genuine customer care, she made it happen on the spot. We were so impressed by her initiative and professionalism. A real credit to the store. Thank you, Lisa!”
