Food establishment in New Zealand

“This restaurant has the most freshly cooked meal’s without any preservatives and msg. Their Briyani was first class and my kid loved the cheese naan with lamb curry ❤️ Keshab was awesome with his hospitality and service towards customers even it’s my first time here this beautiful service and delicious food making up to visit this restaurant frequently in future. Thank you for the good food and service”

“My partner and I were visiting from Melbourne and had the best burgers and wings from Ralph’s! You can tell the kitchen makes everything from scratch and take their food very seriously. We joke all the time about flying back for a day just to eat there again. Really cool vibe to the place too and lovely service - relaxed and friendly people. Cannot recommend enough!”

“We had a really good experience at Bossi. I had the steak for my main and it was AMAZING. We also ordered a couple of desserts, which were the perfect end to dinner. We will definitely be back. Our waiter was fantastic, very knowledgeable and genuinely lovely.”

“I enjoy fine dining, but cannot say I am a "foodie" with a fully calibrated palate. That said, I was taken back by how masterful each dish was - aesthetically pleasing, full of flavor, and unique. This was an experience, one of the best meals I've had in all of my travels. I did not have a reservation, dined solo, and had a seat at the bar with no wait. Despite the bar setting, the atmosphere felt private and the service was exemplary. I highly recommend the Crudo. I followed the servers suggestion here, and was thankful I did so.”

“Loved my dinner at Geeks on Sainsbury! The pork belly and kimchi soup were delicious, tasty and perfectly done. It was great to see they are dog-friendly too. The staff were amazing; super friendly despite having to deal with some rude customers. We will absolutely be back!”

“We were in a big group of foreigners, the MC started by asking us all where we're from. Most comedians tailored their set to a global humour. I absolutely loved the small cozy setting and raw humour”

“This is my second time to dine in there. I come again not only for food, but it is also for staff. Last time my family went there for dinner and asked a staff to serve us with hot water, instead of tap water. He said that it took around five minutes for boiling and wonder if we could wait. Of course we could and felt being cared. When the water was served and then staff worked his another task, my aunt was accidentally spilled the cup of hot water. The staff member should had heard us and noticed the spill; he immediately brought us a thick towel to dry it off and asked if we were hurt. We said no and thanked him for his concern. Today, I went for a lunch and a female friendly staff serves me and give me suggestions for my struggle. I want to have Ramen, Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, however, it is not possible to have all of them. She said that the size of Okonomiyaki is big and I will be very full if having Takoyaki at the same time. She thought that Ramen and Takoyaki are better match ( enough and not too full）so I took this option. Takoyaki is really yummy, crispy outside and soft inside. That's why I ordered one more for takeway. For Ramen, it's the most popular pick for customer and the taste is great, but I would be better to choose less salty which the staff has suggested to me, as the original is little salty for me who seldom dine out. The shop makes me feeling relax and warm. It's a tiny shop with 30 seats inside, including six counter seats, four sets of four-seat and two-seat each. Outside seats are available and there are two or three four-seat table. There are the good place for group of two to four person to have a nice lunch or dinner gathering. It's also good for dating.”

“Our 'local'. Lovely atmosphere, lots of events on offer, the bar menu is simple but yummy (and reasonably priced). The restaurant buffet is AMAZING!”

“I had a wonderful experience at Akdeniz. The food was delicious, especially the kebabs, so tender and tasty! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. I’ll definitely come back again!”

“Good authentic Spanish food. We enjoyed the rich flavours in the Squid dish - main sized. Really good - recommended! The paella was rich and delicious, full of seafood and great flavours. Large serve. Good garlic and cheese bread pizza. Leafy salad with olives and feta good too! Cheap drink 3pm - 6pm 8$ wines and beers Enjoyed the Seaview from a table near the front of the restaurant. Only downside was the tables are very close - so the conversation of you and your neighbours are not private…”

“Good food, very affordable, lots of choices. My family always eat here. Don’t forget to order the coconut milk sago as well! They also offer free hot soup.”

“We had a staff Christmas Dinner here. We booked a table Riverside with a cool breeze coming in the window. The waitress guided us through the menu and recommended specials. Everything was delicious, favorites being the duck pancakes and bao buns. We had 4 small plates and 3 large plates for four people and there was plenty of food. We were to full for dessert, but they looked really good.”

“Photo doesn’t do justice. These scones were life changing lol. Sweet and one savoury. When I think of scones I think of hard dry tasteless things with butter to make it nice lol but these were so good, crispy and so balanced with the ratios of everything eg their sauces etc…Also had a smoothie and it was honestly so amazing. It was the peach and coconut. Will be coming here a lot now that I know about it!! Addictive!”

“Incredible food and such wonderful service from the time we entered the restaurant until the time we left. I would highly recommend a cocktail from Emma who makes the perfect traditional Pina Colada - it was truly outstanding. Thank you to all the staff for making our experience amazing! We will definitely be back soon.”

“Best matcha in the neighborhood, and the latte art is next level. Really friendly staff, yummy Asian-inspired and kiwi items, and good seating options inside and on the sidewalk. They brew Rocket coffee, if that's something you're interested in knowing beforehand.”

“Delicious burger + really helpful and friendly staff! Easy to park as well. Great dining experience will definitely come back again!”

“Had a great experience here! Food was delicious and very well presented. Very tasty drinks too thanks to Nina. Great location, our second time here in our stay and will definitely be back again!”

“A palate experience! Had such a fantastic time at Nanam in Takapuna! The food is absolutely delicious—every dish feels creative but still comforting. The wagyu longganisa was a standout, packed with flavor, and the beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth good. The vibe is modern and welcoming, perfect for a night out with family or friends. The staff were so warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for something a little different, with bold flavors and a fun atmosphere, I can’t recommend Nanam enough. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch, little miss 5.5 was not only all smiles but very well looked after including sneaky chocolate delivery from the lovely Emilie who expertly serviced our needs. Attentive, friendly and anticipating our every need, this girl needs a bar tab from the owners or at the very least a juicy slab of meat loaded with truffle butter!! A true pleasure of an experience with delightful food, service and even better views!”

“Red Earth Bistro has such wonderful choices of food to choose from on their menu. All staff are friendly and courteous. Makes your time at the restaurant feel so relaxing and enjoyable. We always look forward to returning again for another night out with friends or family. Thank you all so much.”

“Where have I been living? Under rock? Because first time trying this place yesterday and oh my taste buds were flavourful!! 100% the best eat in/ dine out place in papakura”

“Well made juicy burgers especially the hamburgini that I got which had such a great toasted bun and well cooked and juicy meat. Also the burnout ( the chicken burger) was a great balance of meat and veges and it was pretty great overall . I would have preferred thicker chicken meat on the burnout but I still think it was fine. The service was good and this place has a great aesthetic and vibe”

“Had one of the best Asian food experiences with my crew. the food was amazing. The 8hour smashed braised beef and the stir fried singaporean noodles were my favourite, even the wok charred cashew brocolli caught me off guard, that it made me enjoy veges more. Unfortunatley im not the type to always take photos of such great food, since im there to eat not post and eat, so rely on other reveiwers for that :) The prices are very fair and well worth the cost. The service from Ted and his employees were amazing and I can't wait to return with my family next time, to enjoy this experience once more.”

“Was actually looking for other options but was recommended by one of the staff at one of the wineries. What turned up is in fact one of the best meal we had in this trip. The smoked chicken is one of the best I have eaten given the juiciness of the breast meat , the brisket literally melts in the mouth. Usually not a fan of pulled pork as it is either too tough to chew or that too much seasoning in it . What we liked is in fact it is not too flavorful yet enough seasoning to make it delicious .”

“Food is always great. Even when busy the ladies at the counter and coffee machine are cheerful and helpful. Millies seems to offer that little extra touch in food and service that make visits a pleasure. Thanks”

“An awesome cafe with great food and coffee. This is definitely our go to cafe in the area and we are never disappointed. The friendly, cheerful service matches the high standards of the food and drinks.”

“This is a fantastic spot for brunch and coffee. It’s a busy cafe so it might pay to book ahead, however we turned up and had to wait 15 minutes for a table for 2. Once we were seated the service was fantastic. I was eager to try the espresso tasting flight and loved it, a staff member explained the origins of the coffee which was great. The food was fantastic, it came out quick and the quality was exceptional! We are definitely going to come back again.”

“Great espresso, very acidic but just the way I like it.”

“Sandwiches are good amd delicious! Always crowded, sometimes can't hear what my friends says, but it was okay because food and coffee here are the BEST. Come in the morning or late afternoon on spring or autumn. Magical.”

“Always a great experience. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 90’s movie theatre.”
