Food establishment in New Zealand

On the plate at The Green Fish, the idea is classic fish‑and‑chips and well judged. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Meat‑free options are woven into the menu. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy.

“Good also where I get my extra strong kingis”

“This is hands down the best sushi in town. Some sushi is pre-made otherwise you order and it is made fresh. The price is so good and the staff are so helpful!! Highly recommend.”

“With so many pizza place to choose from around Takapuna I chose this one. It is delicious and affordably priced for these kinds of pizza that are not dominoes or Pizza Hut pizzas. Great flavour profiles and quick to be made and quick to be eaten. I itch their loyalty you will be loyal and try and order as many pizzas so you can get a free pizza and start ordering and eating all over again.”

“My go-to place for lunch specially when I am busy at work and in need of a quick bite, but not willing to compromise on the taste. Their food is affordable, yet still tastes good. Do you want a grab and go? Choose from their selection of pre-packed meals (I strongly recommend the salmon on rice), or if you have time to wait a teeny bit of time, you can go for a selection of hot cooked to order food from the menu. Plus their staff are friendly too!”

“Millie's food is just amazing! You can taste the love in her food. It's so special. A real gem in the Ville, probably our best kept secret.”

“Came out a few months ago to grab a curry. Hadn’t been here before but my partner had. Since then we’ve been back every couple of weeks. The food is great, but for us it’s the service. They are so amazing and always remember my name, (which as someone who can never remember names myself I always find super impressive) we usually sit and have a glass of something while we wait for the food and the food itself is always bang on. The singer is also fabulous! (Give her some applause if you go, she deserves it!) Definitely one of our favourite places.”

“Definitely a hidden Gem of Indian cuisine in Henderson. I popped in last night for a feed and a pint and once again did not disappolnt Great friendly staff nice drinks selection”

“I won't give a 5/5. Instead a 6 or even a 7 out of 5 for the food and service. Great food, especially those beer battered oysters- oh wow. And the great service, simply awesome.”

“Me and my partner tried this for lunch special first time yesterday very very tasty and the staff are very lovely our new go to for Indian food”

“I had my pleasure to have dinner at Cassia. We tried the Feast Menu. The foods were delicious! Great cocktails! Lovely services. The Daal could be improved because there was an overwhelming taste of Maggie Spice. The Fish Taco was the star for me. And of course Beef and Lamb!”

“Delicious freshly made pasta in a beautiful Gorgonzola and walnut sauce. A lovely glass of wine to go with it. The salad was less inspiring, but it is the middle of winter. Thoughtful, friendly staff made for a pleasant meal for one.”

“We absolutely love the pizzas, the base is so crispy and not doughy. The flavours are beautiful. The Quattro is my favourite. Hands down the best pizza in Auckland. The smoked chicken pasta is also really tasty and authentic. Nice work team!”

“Nice Italian restaurant with GF Pasta and Pizza. Pasta portions are huge, I‘ve struggled eating up the main size and ordered this time an entree size, which was a full size portion too. Also nice Italian wines to go with your meal. I can recommend Sangovese. Definitely a nice place to dine in. Bookings might be helpful as this place is well visited”

“The wood-fired pizza was so delicious that after finishing one, we immediately ordered another.”

“First German restaurant for me and I have to say: I will come back. Me and my partmer had the plate A and even if it looks big, if you’re hungry don’t worry you’ll eat everything. Loved the sauce and the smashed potatoes, reminds me of my grandma’s one. I like the fact that you have tomatoes, coleslaw and other salads on free service. We also had the tab german beer and nothing to add you know just a tab beer. But the owner is really kind and gave us a good experience. Boyfriend here, I’ve been to Berlin and the taste is familiar. I vouch for this only german restaurant in West Auckland. Traditional I love it”

“Best chorizo tacos in NZ. A must try, especially because they make their tortillas in house.”

“Came to Cookes for a nice girls night dinner and it was incredible, every mouthful was so flavourful, highly recommend the scallop entree! Rachara and Arber were absolutely wonderful!”

“Everything’s just awesome. Paella and the steak pizza are so delicious! Must-order edit: enjoyed the experience so much I went for a second time in less than a week”

“Not only is the food at Sake Nippon Bar delicious, but the portion sizes are ideal. We ate a range of dishes, but my personal favourite was the chicken katsu. The chicken was fresh, flavourful and crunchy. The service is excellent. Food is served promptly. The atmosphere is conducive to conversation. However, on other occasions, it has been quite loud.”

“Second time here after few months and Wayson remembers us by telling us how many people we were last time and where we were seated.His service is amazing the food is well priced and super yummy.We will be back and we highly recommend this place.”

“Sarah and her staff are very welcoming, personable and super friendly and helpful. They get to know their customers needs which is rare in some Cafes. The Chefs cook great tasting meals. The food is always delicious! Coffee, 5-Stars”

“This is a wonderful place with a lovely ambiance, featuring a park filled with sculptures. The food and wine are amazing. We were warmly welcomed by Maori cultural performances, which was truly awesome.”

“@theaucklandbuzz We went to East recently and absolutely loved it. The flavors were amazing—fresh, bold, and creative. Service was top-notch too, super friendly and attentive.

“I visited this fine wee establishment today while out riding my motorbike from Cambridge to Auckland and back. What can I say... the staff were so friendly and accommodating. As I'm on a rather strict diet, I didn't eat anything, but the cabinet food and food service looked so appetising and yum. The service, well the owner should be very proud of his staff, they work with purpose and a smile... loved it!! And the atmosphere was quaint rustic charm, spot on!! Not only highly recommended, but definitely a must visit again.”

“Gorgeous restaurant with fantastic mood lighting. Service was impeccable from the initial welcome to the food servers. Food – oh my yummy! We had tomatoes and ceviche for starters, then rib eye and ribs for mains with cauliflower for sides. Every dish was delicious and good size! Super enjoyable!”

“First time visiting this restaurant tucked away in Takapuna. Glad I had my local son with me to guide me to parking and then the restaurant. Our waitress was wonderful. We started with chicken skewers and the pork belly. Both delicious. Mains were a t-bone steak and costillas (beef short ribs). Portions are generous and came with a side and a sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. So much food we had to ask for containers to take food home. Our waitress brought us separate containers for the salads so they didn't wilt. She also provided tongs to pick the salad up. Just felt she went the extra mile for us. Highly recommend although someone told me earlier in the day it was expensive. This carnivore mum was delighted with the meal and thought excellent value for money.”

“Cannot fault anything!! Food was amazing , beautiful! Big call , but the Pork ribs and Moroccan Lamb chops and the best I've eaten! If your passing through Orewa , this place is a must visit ✨️”

“Absolutely the best Sushi place in New Zealand by far! Flavour is on point! Fillings are such perfect ratio to rice! Nice large pieces! The price is fantastic! I hope they never never never close shop!! That would be a crime and not a world I’d want to live in. The owners are so friendly and genuine too!”

“I’ve eaten all over the world, at places ranging from down to earth and fancy. This is easily one of my favorites—there is a perfect blend of restaurant food and a home cooked meal vibe, all in a reasonable price. We eat here regularly and it is the highlight of the work week. Highly recommended to everyone!”
