Family dining in Porirua

“Great service and yummy Pizza and we got a Mango viral ice cream complimentary. We definitely dine in next time.”

“Me and my partner had a pork rib and a their signature Chicken Burger. It was absolutely delicious perfectly cooked, full of flavours, and beautifully presented. The service from Ashish was excellent. He was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable which made our experience even better. Definitely recommend both the dish and the great service. We will surely visit Again.”

“I really enjoy coming here whenever I’m craving something delicious and hot. The staff are always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and smiling when taking orders. The whole environment feels warm, inviting, and just genuinely nice to be around. The food is amazing — full of rich, complex flavours that tick every box for me. The waitresses are super kind, and even the chefs always smile and wave at customers from my experience. For the quality you get, the price is absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!”

“I must say Nandos Porirua has made the food so good, it felt like the original taste. Chicken was so moist and succulent, it just melted in mouth. Chips were addictive. Looking to try coleslaw next time to see if it has redeemed the same original taste. Thanks Margo for a great service. Although it longer than normal but it worth the wait.”

“Compliments to the island lady that’s always on the mic at the drive thru. She was on today at 9pm and ALWAYS Provides the loveliest service. Not once have I seen her without a big smile and I’m here a lot. Love and blessings to her ❤️❤️❤️”

“Always a great experience at Pizza Hut! The pizzas are hot, fresh, and packed with flavor every single time. I especially love the stuffed crust—cheesy, soft, and totally satisfying. The menu has plenty of options for everyone, from classic favorites to new creations, and the sides (like the garlic bread and wings) are just as good as the main dishes. Customer service is friendly and efficient, and orders are ready quickly, whether you're dining in, picking up, or getting delivery. Definitely recommend Pizza Hut if you're looking for a tasty, reliable meal that hits the spot. Great value and consistently delicious!”

“I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant boasts a tantalizing array of authentic Arabic kababs and a diverse selection of other mouthwatering dishes that truly transport your taste buds to the heart of the Middle East. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the kababs; they were perfectly seasoned and the meat was grilled to perfection, offering a blend of flavors and tenderness that was simply exceptional. Each bite was a journey through the rich culinary traditions of the region, leaving me craving more. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is not just the delectable food but also the impeccable service and the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to make your dining experience memorable. They are more than willing to offer recommendations and provide insights into the menu, making even newcomers feel right at home.”

“As other's have said, they're is a great friendly feel in this cafe. We had never been before and chose to go for a Saturday bringing and chat. We both had The pancakes, I went for the net pancakes and my friend had the banana and bacon. These were easily the best pancakes I've had in the Wellington region and really left me happy.”

“Amazing experience for our Valentine's Day date! The set menu was excellent value and a stunning range of flavours. Good service and cozy atmosphere. Our only minor constructive feedback is we weren't aware of the set menu until we arrived. It wasn't an issue for us, however being proactively informed beforehand would have been appreciated :-). Thanks for an excellent meal - we'll be back!”

“I ordered Special #6. And on another day, Special #7. Friendly staff and I didn't have to wait long for my order. There are options for large families, although I hadn't ordered these options. Spacious, free parking outside the shop. The fish'n chips is delicious”

“Ok so I'm a Indian cuisine nut, I've been to so many restaurants I've lost count, but.... After dining here for my birthday last week I'm completely in love with this place. A table of 6 and everyone was so happy and amazed at there food it was crazy... It was beautiful... The service was awesome and it was all at the table in moments. Honestly cannot say enough about how amazing the food is and how well we were looked after. BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN NZ HANDS DOWN..”

“OMG that Sapasui and Creamy Surumi was so tasty. Will be back for sure!!”

“Best food and it's always fresh”

“Really delicious food. We've been there a few times and will be back again. Lots to choose from. We've eaten all meats and they're all tender and good portion sizes. Service is good and attentive.”

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

“Always a beautiful place for kai, with lovely staff! The two for one deal is top tier. Definitely our new favorite spot”

“Very user-friendly online ordering website or app. Easy to use and easy payment system. Pizzas were ready at pickup time and pizzas were very tasty. The counter service at Mana store was average and could be improved. The store is no longer fully decorated inside and the walls look very bare. It would look so much better if the walls were decorated and the lighting improved. Very dark inside.”

“My favourite Indian restaurant. Curry is always flavoursome, crispy naan bread. Highly recommend the Vindaloo or Tikka Masala!”

“An amazing tasty lunch today at Ruby’s. I noticed it seemed like the whole place had improved . . . new outside tables, it felt clean, and the menu had changed. Then I was told it was fairly new ownership which made perfect sense. We sat outside on a beautiful Welly sunny day under an umbrella with my well behaved little dog. The lovely lady that has just moved down from Auckland was so helpful and friendly. She brought a bowl of water out for my dog straight away. Highly recommend, a happy experience with well priced super tasty food . . . you really can’t ask for much more than this ☺️”

“Great cafe. Ordered the new menu item, which was a fried chicken burger, which was absolutely delicious. The chips were also seasoned really nicely. Also had a great convienent location at the garden center. Will definitely come back!”

“overall it was a delightful experience. The food was well worth it—the curries were rich and aromatic, and their stir‑fried dishes were packed with flavour. Portions are generous. The staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. As a slight note, the indoor seating feels a bit on the cooler side—quiet and calm, but with a chill in the air.”

“Best food i have ever had , specially malai kofta is yum. Can’t wait to have that again.”

“Despite our last minute booking at 9pm, it was nice to get the instructions for parking and simple directions to use the shower facilities. We got off the ferry with our motor home at 1am in the morning. And the parking was easy. Lots of spaces for motorhomes in the powered site. Nice clean shower. Everything was neat and well managed. Love it. The lady at the reception I met in the morning was friendly, helpful and nice. Thank you for all the help”

“Great place with a nice menu. loved the tasting platter Especially the coconut crumbed calamari. Our waitress was great nice and charming. Would definitely go again”

“We had such a great Christmas party here! The staff were super friendly. The food was delicious with really generous portions, and everyone commented on how consistent it was given the size of our group. The Christmas crackers and table settings were a really nice touch too. It was a fantastic night - highly recommend :)”

“I have bought sushi there twice and it is the best sushi I have ever tasted in New Zealand. Subtle flavouring, immaculately presented, generous filings,unique and totally worth a visit. I regret living 20 kilometres away. Superb and I wouldn't bother writing a review unless it was absolutely deserved. Unassuming sushi queens end of. I'll be back at the soonest opportunity.”
