Restaurant in New Zealand

“Incredible medium cooked sirloin and gratin! Absolutely perfect! Served by Philippe who was very knowledgeable and provided a great wine recommendation to complement my meal. I overheard him talking with another table and he had excellent knowledge to share. The steak was easily the best I’ve ever had!”

“I was here for dinner last night, and I loved it so much I came back for lunch today. Nachos are superb, and the guacamole is outstanding. Great homemade chips. Lovely service and good prices. A winner! And a stunning view of the mountains from my table :)”

“Great atmosphere and vibes. Lovely, genuine staff. Excellent wines on offer. Can't wait to go back in summer and sit outside overlooking the park.”

“Absolutely delightful and warm service. Great wine tasting experience and my kids couldn’t get enough of the luscious pastas.”

“Awesome country pub with a good menu”

“We found ourselves with an hour to spare while our car was being serviced and on recommendation, went to the Crate & Barrel for breakfast. We were made very welcome on entering and were seated next to the fire. While our breakfasts were being cooked, we were given a guided tour to look at the extensive memorabilia. Wow!! The sports section was impressive as was the musical instruments as wall art and many other collections. Food was delicious and plentiful, coffee superb and service impeccable. Highly recommend and we will be back soon.”

“Absolutely scrumptious breakfast! We’ve been touring the South Island for almost 2 weeks and this has been one of the most divine breakfasts we have had. Great prices too for the sizes.”

“Amazing service and communication. Really clean establishment. Got my pizza fast with a smile.”

“The pizzas and sides are delicious, Thanks guys”

“Amazing service and communication. Really clean establishment. Got my pizza fast with a smile.”

“Asked for combo to be made up of sushi and it was no problem. The service was friendly and fast. The sushi was excellent! And its a modern, very clean nice place to be inside. I will definitely be back.”

“The pizza is expensive but very very delicious, especially the buffalo chicken pizza! The store doesn’t have a lot of seating but there’s normally always at least one seat free. The workers are friendly and overall the store has a very nice vibe to it!”

“Surprisingly nice food and service, despite only having one staff by the time we got there. He is friendly, super patient and helpful when taking our orders. The pizza is also great, it’s got crispy crust and not too soggy or oily, we really enjoyed it.”

“Best in this area. We have tried other stores too but this one is excellent in service, hygiene and taste. Always top notch on everything. Thanks Reema”

“Ordered a Sir George and a Vege Supreme pizza . Staff were friendly and accommodating. Pizzas were ready within 10 minutes on a Friday night. Got it to takeaway as I find the atmosphere to be crowded with everyone else in there little high eatery . Pizzas are great with a perfect base and that authentic wood fired taste . Flavours on pizza are perfect. Can highly recommend getting the crust dipping sauces to accompany the pizza either by dipping the crust or putting directly onto the pizza . Highly recommend going along and trying .”

“Had the most amazing 21st Birthday dinner here. We come here all the time for dinner but the service tonight was absolutely amazing! Daragh was the lovely gentleman that took care of us most of the night, he had wonderful service and such a warm presence which made it way more enjoyable! And we had Ayung taking care of us the rest of the night and she was amazing on checking up on us and making sure we were happy all the way up to the end. So thank you so much to the team for everything! We will be back soon!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Unique and Memorable Dining Experience Maharaja Indian Restaurant in Christchurch is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. It’s a family-run spot that’s been around for over 20 years, serving up amazing authentic Indian food. The team here genuinely cares about their guests, and it shows in every detail – nothing is too much trouble, and everything is done with a smile. What really makes this place stand out is its incredible location right next to the train station. While enjoying a delicious meal, you can watch trains slowly pass by – it’s such a rare and charming touch that adds to the whole dining experience. It’s not just dinner; it’s such a unique vibe, amazing flavours, and just a genuinely awesome place to spend an evening it’s a moment you’ll remember. The combination of exceptional hospitality, authentic flavours, and this one-of-a-kind setting makes Maharaja Indian Restaurant a must-visit in Christchurch. A place that must be on everyone’s list to visit!”

“We recently dined at Mumbaiwala in Christchurch and had a fantastic experience. We ordered the Mumbai Chicken, the Lamb Chef's Special of the Day, Kadai Chicken, Chicken Biryani, and fresh naan. Everything was full of flavour, especially the Mumbai Chicken and Kadai Chicken – both had just the right balance of spice and richness. The Lamb Chef’s Special was beautifully cooked and tender. The naan was soft and perfect for soaking up the sauces. The only slight letdown was the Chicken Biryani – it was decent but didn’t quite stand out compared to the other dishes. Service was friendly and prompt, and the ambiance was vibrant and inviting. Definitely a great place for authentic Indian food in the heart of Christchurch. Looking forward to our next visit!”

“We come here every week for Friday lunch. The lunch combo is a great deal and the right amount of food so you don’t fall asleep at your desk in the afternoon. Service is friendly and speedy.”

“Beautifully cooked. Nice balance of spices to give a nice taste. Very tasty and yummy food. We tried 3 different dishes and all were delicious. Highly worth while going to check it out.”

“We recently had catering from Aroma Delight for an event, and the food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by everyone. A special shoutout to Prince, who arranged everything for us. He was extremely nice, humble, and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend their service and food!”

“Friendly and quick service. The food was nicely presented and tasted amazing! The flavours were beautifully balanced. The atmosphere was good but a little too noisy for me.”

“The green curry hit all the right spots on a cold winter day. Might be one of the best I've ever had. Can't ask for a better curry and service.”

“Hands down the best food I have had in all of New Zealand. I went to Spice Paragon with zero expectations as most Thai food in Christchurch is quite average. The prices were a bit much for me at first glance, as I often run on tight budget. Most of the time I will argue that expensive food is not worth it past a certain price point, but that argument failed here. The food arrived within 10 min of ordering and was absolutely stunning visually. We ordered the Pad Thai and a beef dish with a red curry sauce (I can't remember the name) that the waitress recommended. The Pad Thai was delicious, but the beef dish stole the show. The meat was tender, full of flavor, and the sauce it was bathed in was delectable. Portion sizes were large. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and attentive for New Zealand standards. The evening atmosphere would make this restaurant a great spot for a date, or a nice dinner with friends and family. If you are looking for a nice dinner spot with bold flavors in Christchurch, this is the place!”

“Absolutely love this place. We have had it +5 times and it never fails! The Pad Thai is so delicious and full of flavour, also has decent veges! The green curry is devine! We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”

“Both the shoyu and miso ramen was very tasty. Similar to what we had in Japan. The gyoza was nice and juicy. It would be better is it was hot off the plate.”

“Fast serving, value got money on lunch menu, cheaper price with massive portion that you can actually be 2 meals!! Have to enquire on vegetarian options as not clearly indicate on menu.”

“Really enjoyed the takeaway from here! The food was tasty and packed well, and they even gave me a free Sprite which was such a nice touch. Great service, will definitely order again”

“Avonhead takeaways has the best Taiwanese crispy chicken in town. We also tried their Korean fried chicken and octopus balls. Very yummy Asian street food with good value for money.”

“I had high tea. The tea itself was fantastic. The pastries and sandwiches were excellent. The staff was very attentive, maybe even over so in the beginning. And then it was hard to find someone when it was time to pay the bill. My one suggestion is that there's no way to take your tea bag out of the pot. Nothing to take it out with and no place to put it. And I don't always like my tea really strong, depending on what type of tea I get. They would also elevate the experience if they had some type of table cover.”
