Food establishment in Wellington

“I spent 6 weeks in India, but this was the best curry I’ve ever had. Extremely flavourful and delicious, it tasted fresh and homemade in all the best ways. Fabulous little takeaway place and I will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful food!”

“We were in a pineapple mood, so tried the pineapple stirfry with chicken and a red curry and pineapple with chicken. Both came with a small amount of rice. If you enjoy rice with more than half your bites, order an extra side. The chicken satay skewers were an ok way to start the meal. The real stars were the pineapple dishes! Service is good and the food was delivered quickly.”

“Best place in Wellington for Saturday morning breakfast. I starts at 10 am and they only serve Chole bhature and chhole kulche and tea. Food is really tasty and authentic Punjabi taste.”

“Best Indian restaurant in wellington. Very warm welcoming staff. I ordered MALAI KOFTA with naan and is very delicious. Whenever I come to wellington from Paraparaumu I alaways prefer to have my lunch in curry heaven restaurant . I recommend to everyone to go to this restaurant. Thanks for delicious food.”

“Excellent food and an excellent night. Kate creates a great atmosphere and she and her staff did a fine job handling our various food preferences. We didn't want to leave!”

“Very enjoyable, tasty Curry. The Nann bread is fantastic. Loved seeing the nann bread cooked by the counter.”

“Found this place near our air bnb. I was so surprised to see its very authentic! They even had agua de horchata which you don’t see much around in restaurants this far from Mexico. The amount of food that comes in a plate is very fair for the price and the flavours are a hit! And the service was more than excellent. Every single person there is welcoming, nice and friendly. I wish I lived here so I could come more often.”

“Our go to for chinese takeaway. We love their Salt Pepper Pork and Wonton Noodle Soup. The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming.”

“I’ve been coming to Aunty Mena’s regularly for years and it never disappoints. Their wonton noodle soup is fantastic, the broth is so light, refreshing, and full of flavour, with perfectly cooked noodles, delicious wontons, and plenty of fresh vegetables, It’s a very comforting meal! The crispy fried wontons with a tangy sweet and sour dipping sauce are also really good too! The staff are always so lovely and welcoming, they even remember me and my order every time I come in, which makes it feel extra special. Aunty Mena’s is truly a gem and easily my favourite restaurant ever!”

“Great dinner, very busy inside, food came out quickly and staff very attentive, tried a couple of unusual dishes like the cream cheese wonton. Fully recommend booking to make sure you don’t miss out on this gem!”

“Friend recommended coming here last Thursday, lucky he did, what a great experience. Sat in front of the kitchen so we could watch our food being prepared. Ordered osyters, tomato salad, fried chicken, korean fried rice, beef shin and a couple of deserts. I must say, the fried chicken was definitely the stand out dish with the fried rice coming in 2nd. Chicken was juicy, tender and super crunchy but not oily at all! Too bad it was a special for the night and not on the main menu. Staff are awesome too, they were willing to chat while preping the food, headchef even came to have a bit of a chat with too. Booked a 2nd night for dinner on the spot, but unfortunately couldn't make it. Will definitely be going back.”

“Great meal at Noble Rot. Scallops were fresh and delicate, the proteins were cooked perfectly, and the sauces were rich and well-balanced. The crispy-skin fish was a standout. Some dishes leaned a bit classic and could use more colour or acidity, and the dessert felt slightly heavy, but overall a very well-executed, enjoyable dinner.”

“Incredible service and delicious food! All of the staff (especially the woman on the front till) were incredibly energetic, attentive, smiley and friendly. The food here is absolutely phenomenal - in particular, the waffles. For $25, the waffles were a great portion size, presented beautifully and was overall a 10/10 meal. It was like a churro in waffle form - super soft and chewy but still very light with that classic exterior cinnamon sugar crusted crisp that churros have. The plum mascarpone toned down the sweetness, the strawberries were a great addition and the maple syrup was the cherry on top. As I mentioned, the size of the waffles was very generous, and we still managed to finish them all as they were so fluffy and not dense whatsoever. The granola was really delicious and not like many others available in Wellington. Whilst also being presented beautifully, the house-made granola was abundant with chewy oats, sliced nuts, seeds and coconut, and was definitely binded with maple syrup which made it very soft, unlike typical granolas that are crunchy. I really liked this though - definitely one of the best granolas I have ever had. The sweetness was toned down by the greek yoghurt paired nicely with a berry jam, diced nectarine, sliced pear and maple syrup. They also offered milk on a side which was lovely. I did provide feedback to the waitstaff regarding the granola being a very minuscule portion which they very swiftly relayed to the chefs. The staff were very considerate and understanding, and ensured that I left satisfied. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Egmont St. Eatery and I would highly recommend that everyone tries their waffles. They were potentially the best waffles I have ever consumed in my life. I did find the cafe itself a little bit loud due to the music volume and conversing patrons, but that is more just of a personal preference. Awesome work team. I was very blown away with the hospitality you provided. Keep it up!”

“Very hip new wine bar that also does great cocktails. Food is incredible, maybe because it is prepared in the ex-Atlas kitchen, and the wait staff are very attentive. The DJ and pink lighting all make it a cool new place worth checking out!”

“This small and inviting dining space offers an incredible dining experience. They were pretty full by 5:30 but managed to squeeze me in at a bar seat and I’m so thankful they did. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in NZ ever, and I hope to return when I am next through Wellington. It’s not even the type of food I would normally go for, but I’m glad I did. I enjoyed the spiced roasted pork bun to start and the Beef pho. But everyone else’s meals around me also looked fabulous. I almost returned later in the evening to get another helping before I left town, but alas it will have to wait. I highly recommend it. Also the staff were very efficient and helpful, and on their game. The whole time I was there I watched as the prepped twice as many things to-go than they even served in house. Will be back.”

“The surroundings are austere, but the food is outstanding - if you are a meat eater (they also have a wide rage of vegetarian dishes) I would recommend the Brisket, it has a touch of aniseed, and would be my personal favourite if it wasn't for the Spicy Ribs, they make my jaw lock just thinking about them. The Orange Beef is good and the deep fried Squid is to die for. There wouldn't be a food establishment in Wellington or probably NZ where you can get great food and great service for $20 a dish. I recommend you go with a few friends, select a dish each and share - you won't be disappointed.”

“First time at Apaches new location and wow it did not disappoint. The restaurant was buzzing, the staff were amazing and the food is just delicious. The food is fresh, tasty and portions are generous. The bar has a great range of drinks. Highly recommend!!”

“Will definitely come back again! Came here once because my friend recommended and now has become my favorite restaurant in welly. Staffs were friendly and great atmosphere to hang out with friends or family. The seats were almost filled around 20min after they open. Off street parkings are available around too. Love everything we order, especially the gnocchi with prosciutto! 3 people ordered 4 appetizers and a steak, very filling. Also the bacon marmalades on the bone marrow is yum!!”

“This place never fails to impress and satisfy me! Well worth the 20-30 min drive it takes to get there from Porirua. This has the best Fish n Chips I have ever had, which has the best cheeseburger I have ever had. Love how fresh the fish and seafood is. So succulent! I have introduced this place to so many friends and family. This has now become a family fave. Service here is super quick and super friendly! It is located across from the beach, quirky bars, restaurants, and cafes. Parking may be a wee bit hard during peak but we managed to find parking at Bunnings across from there. This place is a must for Oka/Raw fish lovers and a must eat for everyone!”

“One of our “go to” curry shops. Always good. Always tasty and almost always full. The family that run the place welcome you with a smile and wholesome food. I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed this place already. Must have been too busy eating. The goat curry is a standard (shown) and everything else is good. Don’t hesitate outside. Open the door and go for it. You won’t be disappointed. All at a reasonable price. (They do Deliver Easy)”

“This hot pot is really delicious. There is a very wide variety of dishes.”

“One of the best takeaways in Wellington fresh food outstanding taste clean oil tasty chips! Great customer service☺️ The Honey chicken honestly just melts in your mouth the rice is fresh and just a high quality takeaway dish very sweet and just perfect couldn’t find any faults. 1/4 chicken and chips and hotdog and potato fritters I would really recommend cooked to perfection oil was clean and fresh deep fried food outstanding portions Areas of improvement - Menu is quite confusing the design needs a reflect the quality and the price your paying for. - shop advertising is outdated. - prices are average now but as long as the quality and quantity stays the same it’s okay. Overall the negatives do not out way the positive amazing food great customer service great quality great food.”

“They are hosting dinners from time to time. Service made by students. Cooking made by students. Great culinary school !”

“Hidden gem. This place's esthetic is true Japanese and yet, it's blended so well with good world beer and the art of conversation. Dominic, the bar owner made me feel welcomed and we chatted about the world and beer for ages. They made me great beer recommendations and made me a stonkin' vegan sandwich (pulled jackfruit). Low-key. Friendly. Tasty beer and snacks. Top marks!”

“Actually best burgers on Welly. Always a good amount of sauce. Staff kind and friendly and let us make changes to the burger. Chips usually crispy. Great value.”

“Outstanding service at Burger Fuel Porirua. The staff member went above and beyond. He also let my daughters make their own ice creams behind the counter and even offered to cool down their kids’ meals so they could enjoy them sooner. Their customer service is genuinely top tier every single time I’ve popped in for a meal. The staff are always so helpful, kind, and consistent. After a tough day, his kindness and thoughtfulness truly lifted my mood. Businesses like this absolutely deserve all the support!”

“Reallllllly good one , tried many fish and chip most of them taste bad, but this one is good , feel like British fish&chips with competitive price. Highly recommended!”

“Great service right from entry. Heaps of options. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options also. Food was so good and very reasonably priced!!!”

“I had the Wagyu Rib which was superb with Jasmine rice. I also had the ice cream for desert which had ginger and pepper flavor and topped with thin strands of a very light pastry. Both 5 out of 5.”

“Really friendly people with great service, their vegetable fry rice was delicious and their vegetarian noodles were amazing, they make tasty burgers as well , their prices are very good, you get value off money that you spend here, Only problem is people with that drive there it’s hard to find parking ,”
