“First time trying this place after moving into the area. Ordered a hot red duck curry takeaway. Took about 15 minutes. It was so good! Lots of vegetables, a whole breast cut up on top and actually spicy! Came with rice so very well priced for $24, especially for the duck serving. Woman on counter super friendly. Will be back!”

“Fantastic Thai restaurant we stumbled upon as we were early for an event. The servings were generous, with perhaps a little too much meat (or so my fiance thought, though I thought it was perfect). They actually listened to us when we asked for it to be hot, as too often I get served "European hot" which is mild at best. The prices were also very low. Despite being 20 minutes drive from home, this will likely now be our go to place for Thai.”

“Great authentic Thai food, and friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an awesome dining experience!”

“Me and my colleagues had a birthday dinner here, and it was such a lovely evening. The food was amazing and authentic Thai surely, I want to confirm it as a Thai person. The place was nice and crowded, so I’d definitely recommend you to book a reservation in advance if you don’t wanna wait a long time for the table. The staffs were nice and understood that we did truly want Thai food in a Thai version for Thai people, not like some restaurants where they water down and make it too sweet to satisfy those who are not Thai and cannot handle the spicy food.”

“Had the Tom Kha, Satay Chicken and Chicken cashew nut stirfry. The place was pretty busy, but that didn't stop the chefs from speedily producing, very filling, delicious meals. I was extremely impressed by the service.”

“Amazing Thai food, fun modern atmosphere. We loved the pad Thai - great consistency and flavor. Not too dry or too saucy. Garlic fried w/ ginger rice was delicious, had great chili sauce to go with it. We really really loved the mango and sticky rice and roti w/ pandan”

“Excellent food and service from Thai Street. Papaya salad was nicely seasoned and prepared. Tom yum soup is actually huge for $32.5 and good to share for four people. Pad Thai and beef was fantastic too.”

“This place was amazing! I came here with my mother and the service was great. The food took no more than 15 minutes to cook and was delicious for the price and portion. We wish to bring more of my family next time we come. Great place.”

“If you're looking for the best Pad Thai in town, you're in luck! The food is phenomenal, the staff were lovely and I would go back 100%.”

“Impressive variety of quality vegetables and succulent chicken. The sauces were beautiful and the spice ranges were finally hot enough! Thai “medium” is what many western people will call too hot… but it’s not! If you don’t like spice order mild - for me, I ordered the hottest curry I could and it was incredible!! The sharp chilli spice cutting through the creamy coconut sauce with rich umami undertones… heaven. The Pad Thai lacked that sexy wok hei smokiness, and I prefer a wider flatter noodle, otherwise fantastic.”

“The best Thai food we have ever had! We have ordered off Uber eats the Pad Thai, Thai red curry and spring rolls multiple times and it has been just as delicious as the first. You can tell this is made with love and this is definitely my top #3 favorite places to eat.”

“Amazing Thai place. Dishes full of flavour. Great portion sizes. Friendly and fast service, even during busy times ordered made very quickly. Would recommend kiwi medium level of spice.”

“As a regular customer for the last 5 years, I can confidently say that I love all meals on the menu.”

“Friendly service and delicious food. We took our kids (4 & 6) and they enjoyed the atmosphere and the options on the kids menu (which included a ice cream with every meal)”

“Excellent food and service - a place I would return to on next trip to NZ”

“I ordered the spicy fried noodles with chicken from the Cuba Street Aroy Thai, and they were epic! They tasted delicious. And came out really quickly too. If you’re craving wet noodles you can’t go wrong. Will definitely be back!”

“Best wonton soup ever! I get it without prawns or coriander, which they are always super accommodating about and if you go around 2pm or later, is usually pretty quiet which is nice.”

“Great little venue Booked a table for 5, which was a good idea as it packed out in no time. We were greeted and shown to our table, and our drinks order was taken quickly. Good selection of options and everyone found something they wanted. The food selection catered for everyone also, and after the tough decision of only choosing one thing, we all ordered. The food came out quickly, it was a good temperature, and with good portion sizes. The staff were all very nice and helpful, the venue location is well situated, and the atmosphere was fun. We all agreed we'd be back.”

“The food was great and the service was fast...prices were reasonable, we got 12 dishes and came to 240. I'd say that's cheap!!! The only down fall the seating was so crowded there were 13 of us on a round table we couldn't even fit. They need to sort their space out”

“Ordered a Pad Thai (Chicken) to takeaway. Was ready earlier than advised and it was delicious. Compared to the competition, it’s as good if not better and the portion size is nearly double that of their competitor. Nice to see shrinkflation hasn’t spread to every business in NZ yet!”

“My wife and I had their mee goreng last night. I had the combination meat, and she had seafood. W-O-W-! Without a doubt, the best mee goreng either of us have ever had. The portions were generous and I remember thinking when it came out; "great, I'll take the leftovers home for tomorrow's dinner", but it was so delicious, that I scoffed the lot! The bloke who served our table was really polite and attentive. Do yourself a favour, and get that mee!”

“Shared a delicious 2 dishes, Ginger Prawn and Thai Fried Rice with Chicken. Both were delicious and fresh! I’d definitely visit again.”

“I read the reviews before we went out to dinner, and they weren't wrong. Do not be distracted by the look of the restaurant inside or the ice cream ( which by the way is so good). But this Thai has amazing authentic Thai dishes that taste so good. Fantastic value.”

“Me and my husband had our lunch first time here at Zaffron. There are so many to choose from! We ordered green curry(chicken), roasted pork with noodles, spicy ribs and crispy spuid. Everything were tasty and flavorful. We definitely come back again soon!”

“Best Thai in town. Consistent, full of flavour, fresh, well priced, large portions. Great service”
