Family dining in Lower Hutt

“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.”

“We love this place, food is always great, hot and fresh. They cook it in front of you and it’s very entertaining, kid friendly or fun for a few drinks as the start of a good night”

“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”

“As the name says, it's truly an ltalian delicacy. We ordered Pollo chicken pizza , beef cutlet andTiramisu. Pizza's crust was soft and chicken was juicy. The flavour and herb combination was just awesome. Triamisu was really moist and the coffee liquor was so precise to the point which was prefect. Looking forward to order more....”

“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.”

“Anyone who asks for the best Peking duck in Wellington, this is where you come! They have the best chef from Beijing and you get so much meat! You can choose "one way", 2 ways (Peking duck with noodle stir fry) or 3 ways (duck bone soup) basically just use the rest of the duck and not wasting them. We got the 3 ways and the soup is nice and refreshing, noodles we could live without but it's fine. Bonus is their cold dish mung bean noodles is the best I've ever had and love their stir fried eggplant with mince stuffing.”

“Friendly service, Gr8 atmosphere & interiors & immaculately crafted food. Best Beer battered Fish & chips I've had in Aotearoa so far.”

“As a Shanghainese myself, I gotta say this restaurant offers the most authentic Shanghai local food in Lower Hutt, if not in Wellington. The fish fillet and the fried rice are amazing. Love them all! Thank you. Cheers~”

“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!!”

“The pizzas are always good here, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.”

“The food is very flavoursome, healthy and varied. The service is usually good and was this last time (not very busy). The previous visit was not as good - not enough place settings, even after asking; we had water glasses but no water, until we asked for it; and we seemed to be a blind spot for the waiter. So either that waiter improved or it depends on how busy it is.”

“Just got served by Jacob, absolutely amazing work, he actually gave me and my girlfriend a solid amount of fillings unlike some of the other times we’ve come. Much appreciated, hope he does well and gets a pay rise :))”

“Dumpling World is amazing! The dumplings are incredibly delicious, and the service is friendly. It's a must-try.”

“Just home from a family dinner at top jade restaurant. Havent been 4 years n years. It was delicious. Mum had pre-selected from menu on line and then ordered when we got there.food was excellent. Hot,fresh and paced out well . Restaurant busy and we were very curious about the different dishes ordered by other tables too. All very exciting Thanks top jade for a lovly meal....we wil be back.”

“We hosted our son's day for dinner for 25 people in our group, and it was beautiful. The service and food were amazing. Fast and very affordable, my whole family enjoyed their time along with the naughty kids. Sorry about the kids running around during dinner. Would highly recommend Taste Amazing for anyone looking to host a birthday party, or wedding simple lunch or dinner or whatever you like these guys are the best.”

“Best Hells pizza in the hutt, quality is consistently high and I'm never disappointed. Got the vegan burger pizza, best vegan pizza around.”

“Got here and there's only one guy working, alarm bells start ringing. They were NOT warranted. Despite working by himself the guy got our food to us in pretty quick time. The food was spectacular! The wife had the cheese burger with was quite sizeable! I had the Roadhouse burger. Both came with fries which were well cooked. The aioli that came with the fries was super tasty and not just overpowered by garlic. As for the burgers, WOW! Perfectly cooked patties, crunchy coleslaw, tasty sauces. I was joking with the wife that I could have easily eaten the triple Roadhouse to win the cap. I could not have. The patties are huge! The venue? Very comfortable seats well decorated as an American Roadhouse would be. Very happy guy working behind the bar. I can't fault anything about this place. We will definitely be back!!!”

“Incredible new menu, lovely outdoor garden. can highly recommend the duck breast, tandoori lamb chops and the mango panan cocktail, amazing service”

“Great food and friendly service. We had sweet and sour pork, Singapore noodles, and chicken fried rice.”

“Love the friendly staff and great deals”

“Stopped into Pepes on Saturday night. Ordered the Prosciutto Pizza and it did not disappoint. Noticed it has new managedment too..One of the best crusts i have experienced on a pizza and fresh ingredients! Place has been tidied up really nicely and was nice n clean. Pizza took around 10 minutes. I fully recommend a visit to Pepe's pizza if you want great pizza.”

“Thank you to the lovely man who despite the shop getting ready to close, ensured I had a freshly heated nann bread from the back despite the last one being on the heated plate. His thoughtfulness was immensely appreciated. Thank you and the meal was delicious.”

“We lunched at St Pierre for a quick shopping lunch of brown rice tuna avocado sushi and Katsu chicken on rice and Te food was delicious not to mention, we received fantastic customer service AND managed to get a table!”
