Food establishment in New Zealand

“Nice juicy burgers with reasonable price. The people looking after the store is very friendly and welcoming. I’ve tried the Mushroom Magic and was not disappointed. Will definitely come back and try their other burgers on the menu.”

The kitchen at Hambagu takes a burger‑led path and lets the food speak. A riverside backdrop rounds out the stop. Ribs and steaks arrive seasoned and tender. Buns hold well and patties come juicy. Ser...

“We went to the bring your baby “Lighthouse littles” session yesterday. The staff were absolutely lovely. As a new mum it was so nice to have such friendly and accommodating staff. They explained how it would work and offered their help if we needed anything. Will definitely go back :)”

“Everything looks good on this simple 2-page all-day menu! We went for the wellness bowl and the mushrooms on flat bread. Both were delicious. Food was served quickly. This is a great place for breakfast, lunch or brunch!”

“Came here for brunch. Its very rare that I give food reviews but this one is a gem! Had a taste of their steak and its very delicious plus their hash brown taste good even without any sauce and the Mochaccino is now on my top fave here in Welly! Plus the staff are very welcoming ❤️ I will definitely come back here!”

“Absolutely love this lovely and cozy place for dinner. Very delicious food and very cozy style feels like I’m at home with my family. Amazing pasta.”

“Beautiful villa restaurant tucked in between two high rise buildings. Came for WoW and absolutely loved the service, the staff were interesting in talking to us and very friendly. The food was exceptional - one of us had the set menu for WoW and two ordered off the menu (love that option).”

“Service is superb. Some of the best waitressing I've experienced in a while! Food is just as good - just make sure you have plenty of room as portion size is big.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Hannah our waitress went above and beyond. All the staff were so friendly, and the food just kept coming and coming”

“Great new Argentinian cafe in Kilburnie! Awesome empanadas and Quince tart! And great L'affare coffee! Definitely give it a visit!”

“Wonderful new cafe, lots of animals and variety of landscapes such as streams, waterfalls, hills. Well worth visiting though take care on the narrow road to Staglands.”

“Hands down the best coffee I’ve had!”

“Always have a great meal from here. Lovely owners pleasant and helpful.”

“We call up and order chicken jalfrezi which isn’t on the menu but they still make it for us… absolutely delicious and perfect spicyness… we can smell it as we are walking through the subway. Mmm . Sometimes he will give us a free naan just for being regular customers. The best taste in Wellington. We can remember when they first opened. They now have a great reputation. Highly recommended. Mike and Winny.”

“First time here with my Family and what can I say, they were on point with service, food and drinks. Cost for 5 Adults and 1 child, exceptional and worth it. Took our own doggy bags aka containers for our left overs. Highly recommend this place.”

“Mainly visit as my daughter is fond of bubble tea! But the place is generally very neat and it has a nice white relaxing decoration if you enjoy to sip your drink on site. The packaging of the drink is very attractive and it comes in a sealed disposable cup with a straw.”

“Delicious! Smash Browns and Chicken Fenders were very tasty and addictive. We felt they were perfectly seasoned, though some might find them a tad too salty depending on your preference. There are plant-based vegan and vegetarian options too. Great for a quick bite before or after flights or while waiting for your rental vehicle nearby. About a 10min walk from the airport terminal. There are boards showing real-time updates of departing and arriving flights. We dropped by for our first meal in the country after flying in, and came again for our final meal before flying off. Plenty of parking outside. Tables are a little sticky, and sometimes the benches during lunch hour have crumbs; could do with more thorough cleaning.”

“We had such a great experience for our New Year’s Eve dinner that we came again for my father in-law’s birthday! The set menu for New Year’s Eve was absolutely delicious! We had the same waitress both times and she made the experience exceptional (her name is Janice from Germany-sorry for not spelling her name correctly). She is a rockstar! When we came for the regular menu, and everything tasted so good! It is a very unique restaurant and wish there were more like this! (The 200 g Canterbury beef fillet is a must! The homemade bread is delicious and so is the soup special)”

“Lovely cafe. Good selection of brunch options including vegan meals. Coffee is also very good. Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch.”

“This bar was decorated really nicely with nice velvet couches, board games and a fireplace. They have a few mixed drink options, we both got martinis. Otherwise they have a lot of whisky. We did ask for other suggestions of drinks but it seemed like we had to stick to the few on the menu. The jam on the martini was really good and a unique garnish!”

“My son and his family lives in Christchurch and he's been talking about this Afgan place and would take us there if we're in Christchurch. A must-try spot in Christchurch! There’s no menu—just walk in and let them know how many people are dining or ordering takeaway. They usually open around 5:30 p.m., and there’s always a long line, so give yourself extra time. The food is simple but absolutely delicious—choose chicken, lamb, or a mix, served with tasty rice and curry. It’s great value for money and always consistent. We ordered 3 servings for 5 people, and it was more than enough. Don’t expect a typical restaurant setup. You get your own drinks, plates, and cutlery. If you're dining in, you can skip the takeaway queue—just find a seat and order at the counter. We always get an extra serving to enjoy for lunch the next day. Tip: Join their Facebook group to check if they’re open. Long wait, but totally worth it!”

“Absolutely delicious pizza and the best calamari I’ve ever had in my life! The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place — you must try it ! ❤️”

“After hearing about this place from friends and seeing the posts online, my partner and i decided we would give it a go. Wow, the staff were lovely, the food was incredible and the vibe was great. They have lots of options to cater to gluten free and dairy free and they aren’t half assing it either, both the tacos and the chicken i had tasted the same as my partners regular non gluten and dairy free food. Spot on guys, we will absolutely be returning!”

“Friendly and attentive staff, yummy food at a decent price, nice view over the estuary. Veggie Grill was an unexpected delight not normally afforded to vegetarians visiting a steakhouse!”
