“Lovely atmosphere with music playing, very nice staff who took my order and pizza came out exactly how it was advertised online. Overall wonderful experience”

“Best Fish & Chip shop ever! Chips are A+, Fish is beautifully fresh and their Deep Frying Skills are A++. Tip top quality, great price, delicious food. Highly recommended!”

“I have been going to Pizza club for a while, their pizzas and burgers are delicious! Requested for a customised pizza and burger the other day and Yash did an amazing job! Definitely recommended”

“My partner and I come to the night market almost every week just to get a fritz weiner sausage. It's really good and quite popular as sausages are almost gone sometimes when we come to buy.”

“Never had a problem with this fish and chip shop - the chips, potato fritters and crumbed fish taste delicious and crisp, and the portions are enough to feed my family week after week! Great consistency.”

“Great stuff. I just think they need a rebrand or a redesign of their place.”

“Delicious pizza, I recommend the buffalo. Jack was on point!”

“Best pizza place in Tawa, imho. They got new flavours as well. My favourites are the Indian flavours (Tandoori, Paneer, etc.)”

“Ohhhhh my God!!!! The new Slow pulled pork pizza is amazing !!! Yummmmmm!!!!”

“Homemade dumplings were very good. We had pork, prawn and chives. Enjoyed the vegetable chow mein too, which had a lot of fresh vegetables and wasn't too saucy. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu.”

“Really enjoyed a relaxing evening in Lola Rouge at the Naumi Hotel. Good service, nice places to sit, and good wine and bar snacks. Definitely recommend.”

“In reality 4 stars but I will give 5 as it's clear they really try and improve. Great ambience, friendly staff and lunch special on a public holiday was the best value meal we've had all weekend in the overpriced Wellington CBD. Curry was good but flavour seemed slightly watered down, can't tell why exactly. Also, asking about spiciness would be nice. Else portion size generous and overall experience good.”

“REALLY nice place, two levels with lots of nooks and crannies to hide in and great light,. plus carpet so it's warm and quiet! Their counter food is literally to die for, as is their menu. Today was the first time I tried a counter burrito and it looked and tasted like a Michelin star chef prepared it, it was superb. Add the liquor licence and delightful and efficient staff and you'll struggle to find a nicer, quieter, classier or more down to earth lunch spot. It'll please anyone you know - including that one precious friend who will never admit they like it more than the place THEY recommended. Honestly, it's better than their place :)”

“Love this place, very clean, yumm kai, loads of options. Mt mamas go to for her burger.”

“This place makes the yummiest Chinese food anywhere in wainuiomata”

“This place had changed as it's not opened right through now its cut into sections. 1 for entertainment area, 2 Gaming area with a bar. Like the pool tables and the staff were great. The meals were sensational. We Thanked the Staff and the Chef for great service.”

“One of the best foods I've ever had here in NZ, I highly recommend it, good and cheap. Joe please, open a Joes here in Auckland please.”

“Very friendly owners. I love their chicken fried rice. Big selection of food.”

“Best Fish & Chip shop in city. Heaps of Chinese options, along with the standard Fish n Chips. Phone your order in, and will be ready on arrival. Best value portions I've ever found anywhere - always heaps of food, and always sooooo tasty and fresh. It's a takeaway shop, and pretty basic decor etc, but don't let that put you off. We go at least once a month, and wouldn't go anywhere else. 2 Fish, 1 scoop chips costs around $13/$14 - don't order extra chips as you wont get through them there's so much provided in a scoop.”

“Repeat customer. Love that there are a handful of vegan options. Service is always so prompt. Requests are not a fuss. The loyalty card is appreciated.”

“We are a regular customer of Mumbai local since past year and the food is scrumptious. We have tried all the dishes from the menu and everything is always packed with flavours and made with fresh great quality ingredients. The food is superlative with an amazing blend of Indian spices. If you are craving for authentic bold Indian flavours then this place is a must try. Highly recommend it.”

“Delicious food. Drove 25 min home and the food were still hot and the fish was still crispy. Purposely bought an extra fish to eat later at night and the fish was still good despite being left on the dinner table. Fried rice and noodle were delicious and filling with vegetables that still has a crunch instead of wilted veges.”
