Dine in dinner in Lower Hutt

“Very friendly people, great customer service, amazing varied range of creative pizzas, and good selection of sides and desserts. They were the only place open on christmas day evening so very thankful!”

“Chicken Katsu, everything is so delicious, tidy , friendly environment and just overall love the quality of the food. Top tier ❤️”

“We tried the veg delight and pepperoni pizza - both were loaded with fresh toppings and melted cheese. Great taste, quick service, and very affordable.”

“Great Experience. Clean Restaurant. Food to table was very quick. Great place to go for anyone wanting some quick yummy thai. Ordered the Spring rolls, Roti with Peanut sauce to start. Mains - Crispy Chicken with Garlic rice and the Chilli Chicken + Fried egg. Delicious. #ThaiFood”

“WOW! I love this little gem, Baos are amazing, the Panda dumplings are some of the best dumplings i’ve ever had and always served with a smile!”

“First time trying Ara Sushi, it's the best sushi I've had in the Wellington area and has lots of tasty vegan options. Especially enjoyed the inari sushi with seaweed salad.”

“The Hyderabadi dum biryani is a must try here. It feels very authentic and feels like from Hyderabad. The mutton haleem is very special here and one of the only places it is available in Wellington. All other Hyderabadi style curries are delicious. My wife liked it a lot as well.”

“Good service and food was delicious. I hadn't realized that some of the dishes needed to be ordered in advance but our group of 7 were very happy with the dishes we were able to order tonight. They didn't have savignon (which is what I normally drink), but I tried the pinot gris and liked it, so all good.”

“"I recently dined at Curry 2 Go in Petone, and despite the lengthy wait (understandable for a one-man operation), the experience was well worth it! The Kiwi butter chicken was delectable and succulent. I also tried the tandoori prawn for the first time, which was incredibly tasty. However, my delight quickly turned to discomfort due to a sudden and urgent need for a bathroom break. Overall, I highly recommend Curry 2 Go - 10/10! The quality and flavor of the food outweighed any minor inconvenience. I'll definitely return soon."”

“best sushi in Wellington. Made fresh to order! Takeaway only though.”

“Had a great experience at GR8 tandoori. Food was awesome and the staff were very friendly. We gonna visit again soon.”

“This is the best turkish shop i have been too in forever, it’s so good the service is good & the people here are so kind!”

“I've been to a lot of kebab places around Lower Hutt, and this place beats them all. Great price kebabs, generous portions, and they are juicy without getting soggy. The meat was grilled well, with good sized pieces and lots of crispy bits, and the kebab was wrapped so that you don't have to fight the tinfoil away before you can eat it. I also had the baklava, which at $8 is on the pricier side, but it was a good portion with plenty of syrup nuts and crunchy pastry. Today was my 3rd time here, and it will be my go-to kebab shop from now on.”

“A surprise find in Jackson st Petone. A really nice well laid out restaurant, friendly helpful staff and a great range of Thai food available. The servings were a generous size and very tasty. My wife is a Thai chef and she was impressed. The priceing is resonable with our two main meals and a drink costing $45. Happy to recommend Smile Elephant and will be visiting again when we head to Welly. We went back and I got the spare ribs and chips, my wife curried chicken noodle bowl. ❣️”

“We’ve dined in & have done take aways from this place on different occasions and both experiences were wonderful. Staff are always pleasant and welcoming! Food tastes amazing too! They accepted our special request for Nasi Lemak for a dinner order even though it’s a lunch menu item. Would definitely return again and highly recommended!”

“Enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch with a glass of French Chardonnay at Tartines Cafe while visiting Eastbourne. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere seated in their covered courtyard on a beautiful sunny winters day. The staff were friendly and attentive. Tartines welcome dogs which was an added bonus as we had driven out to Eastbourne to take her for a walk. We also noticed they had a lovely selection of frozen takeaway meals so we popped back on our way home and bought a couple of delicious looking soups that are very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.”

“The food is exceptional. And the people are lovely.”

“Absolutely delicious food, really rich flavours, fast service, generous portions, lovely staff. Best Thai I’ve had in Wellington!”

“2 words....Crazy Good! Thanks to our host Anthony, The Chefs and crew for an outstanding Italian experience. Honestly the best Pasta I've tried. This restaurant is another great addition to the Petone food scene on Jackson. Unbelievable food, exceptional service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks, we will be back for more!”

“First time tried & definitely won't be the last. Everything, from the online booking process to the payment at the end (& of course everything in between) was on point, easy & prompt. A friend recommended this restaurant to us & we're so glad she did. The staff & service were great, as was the food. We were seated & served promptly & all told, it was a 45 minute experience from being seated to leaving, yet we didn't feel at all rushed & we left wanting to return. I definitely recommend as a must try restaurant.”

“Shakar at Chilli Masala was very welcoming and polite. His communication was clear and friendly, and his behaviour was excellent. The food he cooked was amazing and full of flavour. Really great service and experience overall. — From Prince and Aries”

“The biryani from Hyderabadi House Takeaway is really tasty and full of flavour. The portions are good, the price is fair, and it’s great value for money. A perfect place for anyone who loves biryani.”

“Great food—the chicken burger is fantastic and the portions are large. Convenient parking and lovely service from our server, Sharron. Will definitely return!”

“Super friendly! Affordable! Quality! So glad you guys are here in petone and big thanks to the lad for helping me arrange alternative payment! You guy's make my day”

“The food and the service was excellent. Pizza was delicious and staff were friendly. Everything happened in a very timely manner despite there being several large groups in. 10/10 would recommend. It was really quite loud inside though which is to be expected in a busy restaurant”

“Great food and exceptional service I ordered Thai red curry(seafood) it was delicious I would recommend please try guys”

“Olé is amazing! If you are looking for something more interesting than Asian or Italian- this is your place. The tapas portions are generous and delicious. We had the pomegranate and home made lemonade drinks and they are divine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience, the food is prompt and tasty and the service is excellent. We left full and impressed. We’ve been to Spain and the food at olé is authentic and awesome.”

“Just had the best service (and yummy meal, as always). There was a small error in the kitchen with my GF pizza, and it had to be remade. They were so apologetic, and even gave me a free dessert! I was more than happy to wait, and didn't expect anything free, but was so touched by the offer and incredibly impressed by the service. We will definitely be back! I was also very impressed at how careful they were with cross contamination. Would recommend for anyone with allergies, particularly GF, they take them seriously!!”

“Service was fantastic from an attentive server. Oysters and mussels were tasty and presented well. Flounder was cooked perfectly and the meat from the ribs fell off the bone. Delicious and good portions! Very happy.”

“Love it. Was welcomed straight away and cared for. It was nice and quiet, restaurant was a nice and cool, and food was tasty. I have a picky eater son who dined with me and gave their BBQ pork with honey sauce a 9/ 10. And thats alot coming from him. Thank you very much.”
