Restaurant in New Zealand

“I know they are not perfect. But it is worth it for me to give 5 stars. You can enjoy all you can eat delicious Indian foods from starter to dessert. Enjoy the goat or lamb until full, chicken and lot of curry's. The chicken biryani was so delicious. And also free to eat naan bread. It was only 20 dollars for weekdays. Make sure that you are hungry enough. Great staff hospitality, they are fast and helpful. For you Moslem people, this restaurant is HALAL”

Celine's Bar & Restaurant favours a Japanese‑leaning mix with clear, clean flavours. Serve sizes show solid value. Broths and noodles keep good heat and snap. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“This restaurant does not deserve it's current rating. The staff are pleasant and welcoming. They are also accommodating if you have dietary requirements like I do. The food is great with good portion sizes. Definitely give this place a go. I assure you it's well worth a visit for moderately priced great Thai”

“Mothers day dinner was good, but the real winner was our lovely wait staff! She was attentive and lovely. So the service won this night. Being the first time going it was a win!”

Prince Albert The Olde English Pub & Restaurant runs with a classic fish‑and‑chips menu and a relaxed pace. Fillets arrive fresh and the fry stays clean. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding experience — highly recommended! As a chef myself, I rarely write long reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’d confidently give it 5 stars for the incredible value we received. The location is just perfect — peaceful, away from the city noise, yet easy to reach. We went for a family dinner- birthday celebration and were pleased to find plenty of parking available, as nearby businesses were closed at that time. The food was plentiful and well-balanced — not an overwhelming menu, but thoughtfully curated. From a chef’s perspective, every dish felt just right. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One of our little ones accidentally broke a glass, and the team immediately stepped in to clean up and made sure we were comfortable — that kind of service speaks volumes. Overall, one of the best places to dine — whether with family, as a couple, or for a corporate dinner. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and genuine hospitality. Definitely worth visiting again!”

On the plate at Eastern Ocean Chinese Restaurant, the idea is burger‑led and well judged. Pricing lines up with the offer. Desserts close the meal with familiar comfort. Portions are generous yet well judged.

“Haven't been here in years was super impressed with everything. Love the layout & different themes for each seated area, such a great idea to uncorporate a Library never seen that in a restaurant before, it adds a lovely homely feel, my favourite would have to be the Whiskey Lounge, the decor makes you feel you've stepped back in time. Food was fantastic had the classic kiwi steak meal cooked to perfection & our host MJ, what a delightful, courteous human. She certainly knows that menu inside out, very precise, certainly don't get fabulous service like that anymore, thank you MJ. Had a very enjoyable & memorable evening, definitely recommend coming here.”

“Delicious dishes especially some from local Dalian eg 三鲜焖子，stir fry cabbage, lamb, wasabi prawns, etc all very yummy. Being there a few times and still want to go.”

“Had two of the teppanyaki combo’s with a friend and was pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. Definitely think that people may go with a certain perception of teppanyaki, but for the price and service of the experience, I’d definitely say that we enjoyed our time there. The owner was friendly and readily available to answer any questions we had regarding their menu.”

“Level 3 lockdown, only open for takeaways. Best to ring ahead and order beforehand, so there is minimal wait time. Food was delicious and still piping hot when I got home. They have a mixture of Canton style and North Eastern Chinese dishes on the menu. I would recommend the Homemade Tofu and Mongolian Lamb Chops”

“Friendly staff. Good variety to choose from. Yummy food. Reasonable price”

“This is a very nice restaurant to go too, the food was definitely top self, every course was served in time warm and well seasoned. We were well looked after by such welcoming amd friendly staf. We will definitely be coming back and with company.”

“I was there this afternoon for a quick coffee, but the friendly manager convinced me to have a snack/meal too, seeing as I was clearly eyeing the cabinet food! When I said the meals on the menu looked too big, she offered to make me a half portion, which was very thoughtful. The half portion was not only generous (it looked like a full portion) but also delicious. It was the chicken salad on the lunch menu. Fresh, and well made. The manager also offered me some honey to add to my ginger tea - She could tell my voice was hoarse and throat hurting. I really enjoyed the personalised, warm service. I was also given the wifi password without asking - I'm not sure what else I could ask for in terms of service and food quality! I've always been here for desserts after dinner (I LOVE their cabinet sweets) but this was my first lunch visit and and it was really fulfilling. Definitely coming back here! Cheers”

“Went here with the family and it was super delish, ordered the lamb shanks and it was so tender. The sides you help yourself once your recieve your meal and there were good side choices available. Prices are reasonably cheap. Tea and coffee also available”

“Delicious and great service, prices are very compatible and good portion. Would return.”

“Bahubali chicken starter was amazing, felt a bit of street food nostalgia from Hyderabad. Loved Fry piece biryani (expect it to be more of pulav flavors). Will visit again soon.”

“Did a takeaway for the first time. Ordered online. Good chicken fried rice, fish fillet in Maggie sauce great. And sauteed vegetables ok. Will definitely go for a sit down dinner.”

“This place has been around for years use to walk past in my teens and use to order takeaways in my younger adult days. Now in my 40s we visited from Christchurch recently and stopped in for dinner, and owner was there and greeted us (swear she hasn’t aged). Food was delicious and plentiful we couldn’t eat it all so took some home. Support your local restaurant and this lovely family from the Hutt”

“Car always goes there and stops. This is truly a wonderful place for everyday healthy chinese meals. All food are excellent and chefs are outstanding”

@ Restaurant & Bar favours a simple, bistro-style line-up with clear, tidy flavours. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Packaging keeps things crisp on arrival. Pricing lines up with the offer.

“We devoured the chicken skewer with naan and lamb shank meal. The meal came with salad, garlic and mint dip. Ordered chicken curry as well (that tasted nothing like Indian curry), that was so good. The doogh though, is worth the extra mention. Doogh is the version of laban or ayran to some countries / cultures. A must try! We went back a week later to satisfy another bout of craving.”

“I love this place. A one-stop place for awesome Chinese food. Excellent food, affordable price and a great bar. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Love their takeaways. Expensive stir fries but good portion size”

“Authentic Kerala Cuisine! We have been missing that in Auckland and had an amazing experience. The ambience, service and food presentation is amazing. The flavours are aromatic and traditional. Friendly staff and we just felt like eating out in Kerala. Kids are surprised and excited by the Robot. Wanted to try a lot more but the portion size is really filling. Will surely be back to try the rest!”

“A regular restaurant, the budget friendly dishes are delicious, the prawns are crispy and flavourful, the garlic flavour is rich and absolutely addictive. Super tasty beef mince, wok heated and tender.”

“Nice people....Great and wholesome food.....to be honest I over ate but it was worth it”

“Easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in Auckland. Everything is always awesome. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful and always look after you. Gotta get the duck!!”

“The food is nice but quite expensive. There’s a minimum requirement of $600 if you need to use the small chamber. Anyways the food are fresh and portion size is okay. The chef has performed good standard in preparing the dishes. My fav are the Paua and steamed fish, tender, soft and a lot of flavor. The oysters are jumbo size and are super crispy and fresh.”
