Restaurant in New Zealand

“First time visitor. We ventured over to Devonport for brunch. Made our choice to try Manuka. I had the rost with smoked salmon and small flat white. The rosti with salmon, poached egg was wonderful. Being from Wellington I sort of smiled when I was asked if I wanted my coffee with a double shot, this is a given in Wellington. Coffee was great. Service professional but friendly.”

“Spacious restaurant with plenty of parking. Good dim sum place with reasonable price. However, please be mindful that if they are busy, your dining time is only 90mins and no matter you still want to order more or not they will tell you time is up.”

“As soon as I walked into the restaurant, it felt like I had stepped into another country. The food was delicious, and the overall service was very satisfying. I think I’ll be coming back again.”

“My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant. We went in to celebrate my birthday, and the staff made the night truly special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and they surprised me with several thoughtful extras throughout our visit, which I really appreciated. The food was exceptional, everything tasted amazing, and our order arrived surprisingly fast. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Amazing cultural food from North India an experience we all can try at least once in a lifetime kind and friendly staff give it a taste Whanau.”

“If u are a curry lover this is the restaurant to be at JULEEZ KITCHEN. The curry flavours are distinctively different and tasty. Their indo Chinese dishes are amazing.. The curry masala is never disappointing..”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chaska in Otahuhu, and the experience was truly delightful. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes including the Chole Bhature, Paneer Parantha, and Bread Pakora. The Lassi and Chai were the perfect accompaniments, adding a refreshing touch to our meal. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured we felt welcome throughout our visit. If you're craving authentic Punjabi cuisine, look no further than Chaska. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!”

“Food selection not that much but it’s all delicious and big portion. Their scallop wrap in bacon is a must try dish! Tried their weekly special seafood medley and they are really generous with the seafood as well. Overall very good experience, would definitely go again.”

“When I had ordered my pizza from this lovely restaurant, my pizza had came nice and fresh. It was nice and steamy but the best part was eating it. The ingredients had a very pungent smell that was amazing! I would recommend this beautiful restaurant to any people trying to find a good place to eat.”

“The Sarawak kolo mee was spot on like home. Freshly made noodle in their kitchen. Perfect to my taste and the best in Auckland. Well done! Will be back for more.”

“Great little restaurant in Papakura. Awesome lunchtime deal combo, welcoming owner/chef and fabulous food! My hubby had the medium vindaloo and it had lots of taste! We'll definitely be back!”

“Its outside unprentious look is deceiving. Delicious food. Quick service. The lamb soup was super delicious as well as the pezos. (seafood pancake / pizza). Mostly Korran soups and the cheaper beef soup was also great and well worth the $.”

“Food was great and very filling. I found myself full way before I could finish my portion. Just that there was overpowering taste of ginger in the beef rendang!”

“Here for the second time and I have to say the food is outstanding and the service exceptional. They go the extra mile. Very warm reception, owners, staff. Will be back again and again!”

“A beautiful restaurant with great services. The food was good too. We booked on first table so it was great value for us. The indoor area is very cool despite it being a sunny day during summer, because all the windows are essentially doors that can be opened to the full.”

“Thank you for a very tasty meal, everyone was very happy with their meal. Makes for a good evening. Thank you Friends Restaurant.”

On the plate at Guest House Restaurant, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. A sensible spend for the spread. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down.

“I am only marking 'atmosphere' down because our table of 4 was the only one occupied. We had 4 different meals and all were delicious. This restaurant deserves to be better supported. The decor has recently been revamped and is really nice. The menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced. There is also a BYO option for the budget conscious. I had the Chicken Rogan Josh... superb!”

“Amazing! Only 5 tables, 3 for 2, so wonderfully intimate and friendly. The decor is authentically Italian and funky, and as if nothing has been touched for years (perfectly clean but not surgically sterile). And the pizza? Magnifico! And reasonably priced.”

“IG: 2Fish1Chip Order: Blue Cod, Warehou and a scoop of chips. Cost: $33.80 I thought two different fillets would be better for comparison and as a more solid baseline. Firstly, WTAF!?! The size of these fillets were ginormous!!! I had to put a can of coke next to them for scale! Both fillets were equally delicious and cooked to peak performance. The Warehou was fresh and steaky as you would expect. Tasty and filling to the very end. The batter had perfect colouring and crunch. The Blue Cod had the same battered goodness, and flesh was flaky, soft and melted in your mouth. Classic Blue Cod vibes all the way to bank! The only minor piece on both fillets was the batter. The inside was a little underdone probably due to the dense mixture, but it was only a minor blip against the entire experience. The Crickle Cuts, we’re good as well. Nice crunch before reaching the pillowy centre. The portion was twice that of an average serving. ✅ Portion ✅ Cost ✅ Taste - With an asterisk for the batter Definitely value for money from these guys. Not sure if it was a one off, but I’d be keen to go back and do check in come summer. Xiexie”

“You won’t go wrong with Regals if you’re after authentic chinese cuisine or a fantastic spread of yum cha. They have a great variety to choose from their menu and are often packed, so do book in advance. Parking is ample around the streets however one inconvenience is the lack of an elevator, which might not be accessible for the elderly etc. I’ve also added some videos from chinese new year where they often have the lion dance performance which is entertaining for all.”

“Came here for my birthday last night with 20 or so of us and the team handled it amazingly, food was delicious and very prompt and they were very accomodating to allergies which we appreciated immensely. Thanks so much guys”

“After first reading some of the reviews I was a bit hesitant dining here. Well it was worth giving it a try. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We had the crispy wontons, garlic pepper chicken stir fry, coconut rice, and chicken satay. For me and my friend the portion size was perfect that I ate all of it which is surprising as most of the time cannot get through it all. We plan to go back before sadly leaving the area and do hope we receive the same service as our first time.”

“Our two families are across from Australia for Mum & Dads’ 60th Wedding Anniversary in Kapiti Village! We decided to eat in and so ordered 9 takeaway dishes from Canton Inn Takeaways & Restaurant - boy what an awesome meal. Great service as we preordered in the afternoon and it was all there packed and waiting for us on time! Each dish was absolutely delicious - great customer service and big friendly smiles. I highly recommend Canton Inn for both Takeaways or Dinning in… Craig from Brisbane…”

“Very first time coming here, it was a busy night and the staff were extremely busy. The service was good for the fact there was only 2 of them serving. The food was amazing. We got a set menu for 2 soooo much food!! Such a lovely variety and was so yum! The soup was sooo yum could have had way more of that. The wontons and spring rolls were amazing. Loved the way the noodles come shaped like a bowl! Soo cool! The sweet and sour pork was so yum. Combination fried rice was soo good too. Not a huge fan of black bean but my partner enjoyed that. Had heaps of leftovers for dinner the next night. Will be back ❤️”

“Dumpling World is amazing! The dumplings are incredibly delicious, and the service is friendly. It's a must-try.”

“overall it was a delightful experience. The food was well worth it—the curries were rich and aromatic, and their stir‑fried dishes were packed with flavour. Portions are generous. The staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. As a slight note, the indoor seating feels a bit on the cooler side—quiet and calm, but with a chill in the air.”

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chch, really recommended “Kung Pao Chicken” and “Small potato big dish Chicken ””

“Ordered tons of food for a party of 12 and the bill came up to $18 per person, which I thought was cheap for the amount of food. I don't know what this is called, but definitely give it a try, it's some sort of deep fried bread stick wrapped in rice noodle sheet (I think) - whoever invented this is genius.”
