Food establishment in Lower Hutt

“We were there for lunch on a busy Sat and the staff were very accommodating in finding a seat for us. Turnover was very quick and the wait times for coffee and food wasn’t long which made the visit a plus. Great choices of food from the menu and there are a few varieties from the cabinet if you’re after a light meal. Coffee was excellent and staff were very friendly to have a quick convo amidst the busy environment. Another bonus is that it is now dog friendly!”

“Big shout out to E, excellent service, he really raises the atmosphere! He needs a raise!”

“Hardware bar is the jewel in the crown for Stokes Valley dining. Its very warm, inviting, with staff that go above and beyond on service. Plus you can bring your fur baby here too!. The food is delicious with generous portion size. The Ribs are the best in Wellington. Will return again, and bring many more vistors”

“great cafe . coffee was lovely . kids enjoyed all you can eat pancakes . definitely going to come here more often knowing you can enjoy a coffee and cake while the kids play . the lady on counter today was so lovely and welcoming.”

“Our local - consistently great Indian take away food. Run by a lovely family.”

“Super yum! New to the area and missing my old local kebab shop! Thought I would try Cs and I was not disappointed! Recommend adding cheese and tabouli to your kebab but wow! Flavourful, fresh and delicious! Will definitely be back!”

“This place is amazing, has everything you need, lovely staff.”

“Had such a great brunch here! The seafood chowder was beautifully creamy and packed with flavour, and the sourdough that came with it was perfect. All the drinks we tried (matcha, ube, and biscoff latte) were creative, fun, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had the chicken burger and wow it was so juicy and crispy, and the shoestring fries on the side were super tasty. Generous portions, really good value for money, and everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend!”

“Super friendly staff and great selection of food and products!”

“Really great job. The food was lovely, I had the brioche bun chicken burger, it was delicious. Others were delighted with their salmon eggs Benedict on potato rosti. The coffee was very good, they took the time to make me a special Cortado (wish it was on the menu, hint hint). Lovely staff doing great.”

“Delicious sausage rolls & cheese toasties rolls today & gr8 pork pie. I'm going back sometime soon for the Mac cheese. Awesome spot by the sea with indoor & outdoor seating. Staff very cheerful & welcoming.”

“Wow! If you want a freaking awesome burger that tastes like they do in the states this is the place to go. Excellent quality beef patty, the perfect sauce ratio, made for a delicious mouth watering experience. Will be back! Only slight neg was the wait time which was about 8 mins longer than the time stated on the booking. I guess that ain't so bad.”

“Great coffee and tasty food at very reasonable prices”

“Great food and setting. Food tasty, sauce on Korean chicken bao too spicy hot for me & needs to be indicated. The dumplings were delicious.”

“Fantastic fish, with good size fillets for the fish n chips. The Chinese menu is extensive and are also fantastically cooked. Staff certainly know their stuff. Wait time is reasonable at around 10 minutes for most orders on a busy night in Waterloo. Fresh fish can also be bought here and also when in season Bluff Oysters. The entire place is spotless from top to bottom.”

“Great service and good value. The shop was also very clean and the owners had clearly put effort into its appearance. The only down side was no Eftpos, otherwise a great experience.”

“Best fish and chips Very consistent”

“Lot of my friends told me about Spice Shack and today I experienced their Chole Bature (Delhi Style) really tasty and fresh.I got a take out.I will definitely recommend to go and try out the food.”

“Always works for me , budgeted seafood much better than many.”

“There was no sign outside and it looked like the place had just opened up in away but the food and the guy behind the counter made it much better, there wasn't a lot of chips but my partner and I got a combo each and it seemed plenty and the burgers are large n yummy. We got 2 burgers and a tender combo. Definitely recommend!!!”

“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.”

“I ordered the crispy duck via Uber eats, not what I was expecting when it arrived and was battered duck. But wow it was so good and the sauce that came with it amazing. Considering that Uber was having issues getting a delivery driver the food arrived piping hot and juicy. Will be going to get a meal in restaurant sometime soon”

“We’ve been here a couple times since the new ownership and have been really impressed. Food was excellent, really friendly service and prices are great also. Really impressed — keep up the good mahi.”

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

“My trusted shop, excellent selection of meat , wines and fruit”

“Amazing service, delicious food and creative meals, everything we needed to uplift the energy on a could rainy day ✨”

“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!”
