Restaurants in New Zealand

Milk & Honey Restaurant keeps things coffee-and-cabinet and focused on flavour. Cabinet bakes and slices round out the stop. There’s room for a casual brunch with friends. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“I had a great dine-in experience here. The atmosphere was very good and the servers were very polite and helpful. Unfortunately I ordered a main gnocchi dish and got a spaghetti starter instead but i was hungry enough to not care or say anything. Regardless the pasta was delicious and the restaurant was also able to provide complimentary parmesan to accompany my meal. The portion size of the hot chips for a starter was big and great value. Thanks for the great hospitality!”

China Palace Restaurant & Takeaway leans into a simple, bistro-style approach with no fuss. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Service stays present without fuss. Pricing lines up with the offer. Good...

“My family really enjoyed going to Tasty Noodle for yummy and reasonably priced food. I absolutely love their Braised Beef Noodle Soup, especially because their noodles are hand-pulled. Not to mention, the service is quick and super friendly. Plus, the restaurant is always clean and parking is easy to find.”

“Food here is delicious, locally sourced ingredients. Friendly service with an authentic menu. Suitable to large groups, private rooms available and plenty of free parking.”

“What a coincidence This place has just opened today after new year/christmas holiday Various Chinese cuisine provided I saved the menu for everybody, check out the photos I think it's the only Chinese cuisine at the vicinity When I was there, i'm the last customer The staff is nice, the food is also nice as well”

“Went for lunch. Was a bit skeptical because the place looked old and cluttered but when the food came out it was large portions and we had lots of leftovers enough for another meal out of it. The owners wife came to chat with us and we had a great meal time. 5 Stars for me. Authentic Chinese food. Will definitely visit again ☺️”

“Zheng Kee does the best Stewed Pork Dry Pot in Auckland that I've had so far. The pork is perfectly cooked and succulent, and the flavours are delicious. We also had their Octopus special which was delicious, however the portion was only average because the plate was so filled with chillies. The rest of the dishes are usually generous in though. Their rice is really tasty too. Their service is fast and the food comes out piping hot. We love this place for their authentic Chinese dishes.”

“Visited Auckland Botanical Gardens and decided to fine dinner. Decided on Thai. Tried Thai Tradition Restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. Walked in and found it to be as if we were in Thailand. The found was amazing. Beautiful presentations. Pad Thai with chicken. Wait staff was friendly and dressed in traditional style. Loved it.”

“The best food we tried in New Zealand, very friendly staff and fast service, would definitely recommend!!!!”

“Is this one of the best kept secrets in the Capitol? This was my second trip. The first time I had Pho which was impeccable. This time sound the pork belly banh mi. Beautifully balanced flavours, huge portions sizes. Don’t sleep on this place!!”

“We went two days in a row, and I personally prefer the first day, I got the bacon and cheese muffin and bacon and cheese toasted sandwich. The reason I didn't enjoy the omelette much was there were items added on the plate that I said not to add. Good price for breakfast, friendly staff and a large menu for different people, along with a buffet (which is next on my list to try), and great coffee.”

“Excellent authentic Chinese dishes cooked with Wok heat! Every dishes we ordered were delicious. We came for dinner but they were willing to serve us Dim sum dishes that we wanted. Highly recommended!”

“I have been to Yellow Mirchi few times. Friendly team here always welcomed us with a smile and delicious food. My kids love Butter Chicken with Cheese Nan. My favorite is Chicken Biriyani with yogurt Raita. Its simply delicious, you will never find this taste anywhere else. Must try. Paneer and Veg curries yum too. Relaxing decor, amazing service, visit and see/experience it yourself.”

“Thought we would thus place out as it is close to where we are staying. So very pleased we did! Food was phenomenal, we loved every dish. The owner Albert was incredibly friendly and helpful with great suggestions. This man knows his stuff. Really impressed. Will be back next time we are in Auckland.”

“Excellent spot for a quick Canto fix. The 煲仔饭 (Claypot Rice) is made to order and worth the wait. Don't skip the Guangstyle desserts!”

“My wife and I were very glad to come across this restaurant. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable, ample parking, the service was very good, the food looked and tasted delicious. It had a steady flow of Uber drivers. Highly recommend the hot (spicy) sizzling beef platter, but the red curry chicken and peanut garden chicken were also great.”

“Absolutely delicious pork tripe and chicken herbal soup! You can really taste the quality of both the ingredients and the Chinese herbs used. The portion is very generous and great value for money. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be coming back again!”

“This is some of the best Asian food I’ve ever eaten. We LOVE it here. Any of the mushroom dishes, butter prawns and mi goreng noodles is our go to. Don’t be put off if nobody’s here, I still don’t know why there’s not a queue down the street. Straight fire”

“Very clean restaurant, food is delicious. Highly recommended. Thanks.”

“Excellent service and dishes! Love the noodles! So sweet they provide little cup cake on Valentine’s Day. Thanks! We enjoyed the meal, will come back again. :)”

“Hands down some of the most authentic Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand. Rich, vibrant flavours and perfectly cooked dishes. You can really taste the love and tradition in every bite”

“Cypress Restaurant is fantastic across the board! I absolutely love both their Yum Cha menu and their dinner menu. The food is consistently very tasty, the portions are generous, and I honestly can't complain about a single dish. This is a must-try spot.”

“Both the ganjajang and jjamppong were delicious. I ordered the large portions, and the servings were so big it was almost overwhelming. At first, I thought the place was closed because the lighting was so dim, but I realized it was open after taking a closer look. The staff were also very friendly. However, the atmosphere felt a bit gloomy, which made it seem like the staff were lacking energy, and I felt sorry about that. I hope you stay strong and continue serving your delicious food.”

“Seriously one of the best indian restaurants in auckland! the onion bhaji, samosa chaat and lamb nawabi dishes were a particular hit in our family. The naan is to die for, buttery almost like roti, might not be too everyone’s taste but our kids couldn’t get enough of it. Looks a bit dated walking in but don’t be tricked, would highly recommend!”

“Ordered the Garlic and Pepper beef and easily a 12/10 for me, portions were great and well balanced with vegetables aswell as a side of rice. 3 tigers is definitely a great restaurant and deserves more recognition!”
