Restaurant in New Zealand

“I had an absolutely wonderful time dining here. From the moment I walked in, everything was just perfect. The ambience was warm and inviting, the cleanliness of the space was impressive, and the attention to detail in both service and presentation truly stood out. The food was top-notch – full of flavour, fresh, and beautifully prepared. I genuinely enjoyed every dish I tried. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable and cared for throughout the meal. It’s clear the team takes great pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. I will definitely be coming back and will happily recommend this place to friends and family. A big thank you to the team for the extra care – it made all the difference!”

“Family dinner for our babies’ Papa’s 72nd birthday ❤️ Live one man band was awesome tonight.”

“Great spot, hidden in plain sight. Seated and served promptly and meals very delicious. Have a great little gourmet burger selection too.”

“Eating on my own as travelling for work, so looking for tasty food and reasonable pricing, and an atmosphere where it doesn’t feel awkward being a sole diner. I had been here some time ago, enjoyed it very much and this time was certainly well satisfied on all counts. Only had a main, pork belly, plus side of veges. Serving size was really generous - I liked the sound of the mussels entree but would never have fitted that in as well! Very tasty - I enjoy sampling pork belly on my travels and this was excellent.”

“Got a dinner take away. Very delicious curry and garlic naan. Highly recommend..”

“I hadn’t been here for 12 years, and the kung pao chicken is everything I remembered it to be! I highly recommend it! My husband had the sweet and sour, which he liked as well. Such a good value and great place. Quick service as well. I hope this place never changes.”

“We got the $44 buffet hotpot deal which included all you can eat lamb, crab stick, tripe, vegetables, tofu and noodles, plus the most delicious homemade steamed buns. The initial portions were so generous we didn’t need to ask for more, and all the ingredients were delicious. The service was excellent, very helpful when we were deciding how much to order! Highly recommend for Beijing style hotpot in Wellington”

“It's our first time to dining in this restaurant. Was really mpressed with the food and service. Food was really fresh and tasty. They even offered free soup and fruit platter. The restaurant was also tidy and clean. Will definitely come back again!”

“This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area (possibly in Wellington). Their food is well prepared and delicious. I tried the chicken sola —which is classified as a ‘starter’— and it has a full dinner’s worth of chicken, and it has a kick! The fried poppadom is so tasty and the garlic naan is GREAT. My family loves the butter chicken, especially my son who orders ‘Butter the Chicken’ off the kids menu. The only curious thing was how three people in my party ordered butter chicken and each person’s butter chicken came out in staggered order, my wife’s, then my daughter’s, and then my son’s. It was all extremely tasty, though, so no worries.”

“My family loved Ammu at the old location,this was the first visit at the new location. The service was efficient and the food came out fast. We have ordered Ammu on delivery services previously but the food was so much better in store! The naan bread was so plush. I highly recommended Ammu, support local!”

“The red thai beef curry was delicious. Perfectly cooked vegetables and the medium hot level of spice was spot on. Good, friendly staff.”

“Hardware bar is the jewel in the crown for Stokes Valley dining. Its very warm, inviting, with staff that go above and beyond on service. Plus you can bring your fur baby here too!. The food is delicious with generous portion size. The Ribs are the best in Wellington. Will return again, and bring many more vistors”

“First time tried & definitely won't be the last. Everything, from the online booking process to the payment at the end (& of course everything in between) was on point, easy & prompt. A friend recommended this restaurant to us & we're so glad she did. The staff & service were great, as was the food. We were seated & served promptly & all told, it was a 45 minute experience from being seated to leaving, yet we didn't feel at all rushed & we left wanting to return. I definitely recommend as a must try restaurant.”

“Wow is all I can say. I heard about Tuk Tuk thai over the years but we hadn't made it out of the city to try it. I am so glad we did as this was such beautiful Thai food. The atmosphere is lovely and you can tell that the owners put a lot of love into the decor. The service was great with friendly and attentive staff. But the food was the best Thai we've had in the wellington region. My husband and I both love Thai food and have tried most of the Thai restaurants in the wellington region, but Tuk Tuck Thai blew us away. The red curry is so silky, flavorful, and decadent and I felt like I was having a high end, luxurious Thai meal. The green curry was also very unctuous and flavorful with just the right hint of spice. The menu warns that both curry's come as medium, and we were a bit worried because we are not the best with spice, but neither were too spicy for us, so don't let that scare you off. We also had the roti with satay sauce and wow, the satay sauce is beautiful with great flavor, and one that you can tell is made in house. I 1000% recommend TukTuck Thai and if you have not tried it yet, please do, as you won't be disappointed. We are still talking about that meal the next day and cannot wait to go back.”

“Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and the staff were incredible! We had a big group and the service they provided was spectacular. Thank you so much !”

“I see the modest rating on this place and I have to intervene. This is among the best Thai food that I have eaten in New Zealand and in my travels in the world. The curry gravies are rich and thick and full of flavor. The rice is perfectly done. The roti is perfectly done. I've been able to taste several dishes because I've had an extended stay in this area, and also many people staying here with me have also returned again and again to this restaurant. A+++, I have to really highly recommend this restaurant. It is excellent.”

“Delicious Thai food in Chch and great service! Tastes just like home. Highly recommend this place✨✨⭐️”

“Our large group enjoyed superb service and each of us was impressed with the dishes we chose. Each was beautifully presented and tasted delicious.”

“As a Singaporean who can hardly take spice (orders wei la mala), the flavours are great (slightly too salty if anything), mild spice level is really mild, but almost making me sweat. Portions are great, one main with rice can feed 1.2 people.”

“Great Thai restaurant in the Brighton beach centre. Near to the pier and the library. Foods are extremely authentic and the spicy dish salad are Thai spicy so make sure you are use to hot hot chili otherwise go for mild or no chili option. I loved the green curry and few other dishes. The owner are very hard working and loved her traditional dress too. Is definitely a good Thai restaurant in Christchurch that offer a taste of Thailand.”

“My first visit for Teppanyaki. We tried the all you can eat option. Though this menu is more simple foods in an all you can eat style, it didn't disappoint. The entree board with sushi and chicken was particularly enjoyable given the fresh and crisp contrasts. They have a Japanese version of an espresso martini with Baileys which was very good.”

“Tutto Bene delivers a fantastic dining experience with authentic Italian flavors and warm, attentive service. The pasta is freshly made, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and the wood-fired pizzas are a standout—crispy, light, and generously topped. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for both a casual night out and a special occasion. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, adding to the overall excellent experience. Highly recommend the tiramisu to end on a high note. A must-visit spot for Italian food lovers!”

“Me and my partner tried Hobson Indian Takeaway for the first time, and we were really impressed.The food was absolutely delicious—especially the biryani and samosas, which were full of flavor and freshly prepared. The staff were very kind, welcoming, and accommodating, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Fantastic restaurant — one of the best Indian places around! Tried their chicken tikka masala and sahi paneer , both were bursting with flavour. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend Indian Ocean for anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Indian food.”

“Enjoyed my stay here and great food!!”

“Chopsticks Restaurant is amazing, especially their lou sang and peng cai! The lou sang is super fresh, packed with flavour, and perfect for sharing—it’s seriously one of the best I’ve had. The peng cai is just as great, full of premium ingredients and so rich in taste. The food is top-notch, the vibe is chilled, and the service is on point. Highly recommend!”

“This restaurant truly exceeded expectations in every way. The service provided was exceptional, making the entire visit a pleasure. From start to finish, the staff demonstrated professionalism and a genuine desire to ensure a positive experience. It's clear that a great deal of effort goes into creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a remarkable outing.”

Saigon Centre Vietnamese Restaurant favours a pan‑Asian comfort mix with clear flavours. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Dumplings and bowls carry clear, direct flavours. Serve sizes show solid value.

The kitchen at No. Bar and Restaurant takes a classic fish‑and‑chips path and lets the food speak. Provision for coeliac diners is noted. Sides support without crowding the plate. Easy carry‑out for a simple night in.
