“Very good butter chicken and nan bread, I just found this place yesterday and have come back the following day for some more, they were very nice and had even given me more nan then I’ve asked for, would recommend there butter chicken and white rice, and there nan bread too.”

“Wanted somewhere close by for lunch to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Chose HQ and were not disappointed Whitebait fritter was superb as were the Fish & Chips. Service was outstanding. Will be back”

“I highly recommend this place. They accommodated us even without reservation. Ambience is nice, with low soft music that enabled us to talk. And food is good and has huge servings. I ordered Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang. Amazing!”

“Great service and we absolutely love their food!!! Would definitely recommend to locals in the area. Have tried a few of their lamb curries and the kids love their butter chicken. Cheesy garlic naan is the best!”

“If you’re in the Sylvia Park area and looking for a great Thai meal, there’s a cozy little restaurant outside mall definitely worth a visit. It’s a small place, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in warmth and charm. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is friendly, and it feels like one of those local gems that’s still somewhat under the radar. We ordered the chicken with cashew nuts and the pineapple fried rice, and both dishes were absolutely spot on. The chicken was tender and juicy, perfectly coated in a savoury, slightly sweet sauce, and the roasted cashews gave it a nice crunch. The pineapple fried rice came served in a generous portion, packed with flavour and fresh ingredients — you could really taste the balance between the sweet pineapple, fragrant rice, and subtle spices. What really stood out was how fresh everything tasted. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the dishes are prepared with care. Prices were also very reasonable, which is always a bonus, especially considering the portion sizes and flavour. Parking in the mall, can get busy on weekends. Clean toilets and friendly staff, food can be customized as per ur needs. To top it off, they serve alcohol too — a nice touch if you’re looking to enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine with your meal. Overall, it’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing a quick bite after shopping or looking for a laid-back dinner. We’ll definitely be going back.”

“I had a great experience overall. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and served fresh. The service was prompt and courteous, and the staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to others and look forward to visiting again. Shakes are amazing so as the customer service”

“Its relly good piza and service also staff is really cooperative”

“Delicious food and coffee. We had a great coffee time here after shopping at Dress Smart Outlet…”

“Mexicali Fresh is probably one of the best chains for Mexican food in New Zealand. I'm consistently impressed with the quality of the food and the prices are pretty decent. The ambience of this particular restaurant is really nice. The portions are quite large as well - I had a mini Macho Burrito and that was probably more food than I needed. The regular size must be massive.”

“Ate here three times over the course of my weekend stay. Absolutely fantastic experience each time with both food and service.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious food and excellent service! We especially loved the eggplant dish and the steamed prawns — both were full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our meal. There’s also plenty of parking, which made the visit super easy. Highly recommend this place if you’re after authentic and tasty Chinese food!”

“I’ve had lunch a few times here recently (my apartment is a few hundred metres away). Both times the food has been good quality cafe-style fare, and prices are reasonable for the post-COVID environment. I like the place and food and expect to eat here two to three times a fortnight. Happy to recommend to locals, people visiting Central Park for business, and anyone else who doesn’t have small noisy offspring.”

“Japanese cuisine is always my favourite. It’s the first time I have dined at Daikoku at Botany Town Centre on 16/11/2023. The Japanese manager who greeted me at the entrance of the restaurant was very friendly and hospitable. As I can speak some Japanese, we could have a lovely chat. The Japanese Chef was also very professional and attentive. There were only three of us on the same table so there was not much noise. Food was delicious and I would like to take my husband there some time later. I highly recommend you to come there and enjoy their lunch special if you happen to get near Botany Town Centre.”

“I've been here on every visit to Auckland, lots of seating. The menu is extensive. I love hot curries so always order indian hot, they were almost spot on but I feel they weakened the spice level. The flavour of the curries are great nice sized portions too.”

“Great food, great service. There’s a coffee loyalty scheme so get your card stamped and leave it there so you don’t forget next time ;)”

“We enjoyed the food and environment while we were there. Big menu selection, food was very good and the plating was nice. We loved the plum juice in a jug. They were short staff and gave us a plate of dessert while we were waiting- a nice gesture. Some dishes required booking in advance. Overall, worth it especially with First Table booking.”

“Came here for opening on Saturday and we were blown away by the experience! Very happy with what Bruce and Leanne have done and an absolute testament to you both! Friendly service, food quality was excellent - drinks prices even more so too!”

“Pani pooris we were good. Must try! We also tried the egg dish Soorati Ghotala and it tasted like pav bhaji with grated boiled egg white. We were not a huge fan of the dish but if you like pav bhaji you could give jt a go. Service was swift.”

“Nice pizza and super attentive service! The empty plates say it all! Myrin did a super awesome job!!”

“It's our first time here. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great. Every single dish we had were absolutely amazing. Full of flavour. If you love good food. You need to visit Miss Clawdy.”

“Hadn't been to La Zeppa for a few years but had a really lovely lunch with a friend last week. The food was superb, service friendly and unobtrusive. For some reason I always think of it more of a bar than a restaurant but will certainly be back for another dining experience. My first time using First Table and it was easy....plus the staff didn't make us feel like we were any less special than any of the other diners.”

“I was pleasantly surprised at the taste & quality of their pizza's. I ordered Italian with anchovies, meat lovers pizza, creamy chicken & beef & all were really good. Online ordering was quick & easy and staff were friendly. Highly recommended.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a lovely experience at Pizza Club. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. The chicken peri peri pizza was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. It was a great spot for a relaxed meal, and I really appreciated the attention to quality. I’ll definitely be coming back and would happily recommend it to others looking for tasty pizza and good service.”

“I had a lovely experience at Cornwell Park Cafe! The coffee was rich and smooth, brewed perfectly – just the right balance of strength and flavor to start the day. I also tried their avocado toast with bread, and it was fresh, vibrant, and satisfying. The avocado was creamy and well-seasoned, sitting on nicely toasted bread that had a great crunch. The presentation was simple yet inviting, and the overall vibe of the cafe was cozy and relaxed. A great spot to enjoy a quiet breakfast or catch up with a friend. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!”

“Wonderful Experience! I had a truly great time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and carefully prepared, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. What made the experience even more special was the excellent service provided by Marina. She was kind, attentive, and always had a lovely smile. Her professionalism and friendly attitude really stood out and made me feel welcome. Thank you so much, Marina, for your outstanding service — I look forward to coming back soon! Highly recommended!”

“I had my 21st birthday party at Stonefields Public House and it was absolutely amazing! When I started planning months ago, the staff were so friendly and helpful when I came in to ask about hosting a 21st. The function space on the terrace was beautiful and could fit a large number of people. Their minimum spend for functions was so reasonable. I organised the catering and logistics over email, and they were so helpful and made the process of selecting food and drinks so easy. On the night they were so amazing, they helped us set up the space, the service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the drinks were amazing. We had our own bar in the space which was so cute. They were so accommodating with what we wanted. I made a playlist that they played over the speakers in the function space, and set up a photo slideshow to show on the TVs in the space as well. Honestly, I had the best 21st ever and they are the reason for it! 6 stars out of 5!!!”

“The food here is amazing and my favourite dish was the crispy wonton, very flavorful! Love the cosy and warm ambience. The servers were friendly. Happy customer and will definitely be back again!”

“Booked through First Table App Great food and service staff ‘Simran’ provided great service.”

“Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the lap on nature with greenery all around. Perfect place to sip a coffee after a good walk in the Auckland domain.”

“The pizza was so good!! I got the pepperoni pizza, and it came out in like 10 minutes. I was so satisfied with the service. The chinese boy and the indian man were so kind and friendly. I definitely recommend.”
