Food establishment in Wellington

“Aladdin's vegetarian kebabs are the only takeaway "treat" I indulge myself in regularly. (I even have a rewards card and I rarely bother with those). I say treat because this is such healthy food! The team at Aladdin's are always welcoming, they remember and clearly value their regular customers, and they offer consistently good service and food. My husband has now converted to the vegetarian kebab, they are that tasty! I highly recommend them.”

“Great place to get all your fresh fruit and veg for the week and then enjoy some brunch at one of the many food stalls offering food from many cultures and traditions! The Rewana is delicious too”

“Dined here for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! My friend and I got a medium big chicken pizza to share and it was so good! The place was very popular and the counter staff were friendly. Only downside to the experience was when I ordered a lemon meringue cheesecake and it was served to me still frozen so I had to have it takeaway, also we ordered garlic bread but they didn’t have any . Would definitely go back for the pizza though!”

“Wow is all I can say. I heard about Tuk Tuk thai over the years but we hadn't made it out of the city to try it. I am so glad we did as this was such beautiful Thai food. The atmosphere is lovely and you can tell that the owners put a lot of love into the decor. The service was great with friendly and attentive staff. But the food was the best Thai we've had in the wellington region. My husband and I both love Thai food and have tried most of the Thai restaurants in the wellington region, but Tuk Tuck Thai blew us away. The red curry is so silky, flavorful, and decadent and I felt like I was having a high end, luxurious Thai meal. The green curry was also very unctuous and flavorful with just the right hint of spice. The menu warns that both curry's come as medium, and we were a bit worried because we are not the best with spice, but neither were too spicy for us, so don't let that scare you off. We also had the roti with satay sauce and wow, the satay sauce is beautiful with great flavor, and one that you can tell is made in house. I 1000% recommend TukTuck Thai and if you have not tried it yet, please do, as you won't be disappointed. We are still talking about that meal the next day and cannot wait to go back.”

“One of my favorite places! Bagels here are very tasty, crunchy and fresh. I also love shakshouka and smoothies!”

“Today we visited with a couple of locals stating this Fish & Chip shop was amazing, We arrived to see quite a few people waiting outside, It’s a small but very busy shop, it took about 40 minutes for our order to be ready and it was worth the wait, We ordered a fish burger, crabmeat stick, crumbed fish, nuggets and cheeseburger for the kids and Garlic Butter Fries full scoop. Everything was amazing, a normally fussy child finished the cheese burger without a problem, the fish burger was great, and everything else was too! The surprise was the Garlic Butter Fries! They were amazing! Highly recommended if you ever visit here! There is some seating out the front, a little park across the road where you can sit and enjoy your meal or you can take it just around the corner near the water and watch the sunset. While waiting a lady mentioned she drove from upper hut to come here for the fish and chips as she use to live in the area many years ago which is about a 28 kilometer drive which is just over 17 miles. This is an online version of their menu, it is definitely worth the wait! https://qrmn.co/u3wwlq”

“We came for the cheap prices but would return for the food and coffee! Wasn't expecting much but our Eggs Benedict's were very decent homely fare and the coffee was excellent! It's signage is hidden behind scaffolding at the moment so be sure to look for it even if you can't see the sign! They deserve the business :)”

“Love coming here when I work in Wellington! Friendly staff and great service! Also a nice atmosphere and space, really peaceful if you want to get off the busy streets in the city. Coffee is lovely too!”

“Moved to Ngaio a few months ago and have been in here a few times - HOW ABSOLUTELY LOVELY ARE THEY?! ALL OF THEM!!! A genuine, effortlessly friendly and welcoming vibe and I see them treat ALL their customers this way. They’ve taken the time to build relationships with their customers where they can have conversations about what they’ve been up to - it’s awesome! I believe interactions like this are the true definition of what community is and it’s such a rarity these days so we must call it out! celebrate it! Just letting you know, I really appreciate it!!!”

“Good collection of liquors, spirits and wines, centrally located.”

“Thank you for your help today finding a good whiskey and cigar combo customer service is outstanding!!”

“I am a regular customer here for my weekly top up of the amber bead. There are a couple of handy parking spots. The staff are unfailingly helpful and cheerful and I've got to know them quite well.”

“Great service and great prices! They're the only bottle store I know of that carry Yankee Bourbon Co. brand spirits. What's so great about that? All their 1 liter spirits (vodka, rum, gin, whisky, etc) are just $30! And 37% at that; not bad!”

“Great place with helpful staff and a huge range of produce and food charts.”

“The side salad for the toasted sandwiches and paninis is an absolute banger. It's so fresh and compliments the cheesiness of the toasties. Also the location is great with a good view of lambton for people watching and the staff is lovely.”

“There are 2 dairys (convienamce store) that sell food items in Hataitai. Milk, eggs tea, bags ... all your common things. This is the bigger of the 2. Also they sell beer and wine. A Lotto counter is there as well. Staff are friendly. Some things are expensive like meat, but if you are in need of something quick and don't want to go to Kilbirnie supermarkets this is convenient.”

“Hot chocolate with an amazing slice of chocolate oat banana bread, followed by a toasted sandwich of my choice. Lovely experience. Needed this chilled out moment to self away from the hustle and got exactly that. Lovely service. Thanks heaps for amazing experience. Never been here before this, totally recommend!”

“Visited Eastbourne on Saturday just for some ice creams for my grandchildren, and received THE BEST, customer service I have ever experienced in my life from the woman with the blonde ponytail and heavy eyeliner. Will definitely be back again.”

“The people that work there are very friendly and the coffee was amazing they have a good story behind them and the work they do they teach kids to make coffee and all sorts of things they work with zeal they give people the work experience they need to get a job in the real and to the people that left bad reviews I’m looking a you C. Edward’s I don’t know why you said what you did and I wasn’t there at the time but I know your lying because stories DONT SELL FOOD they sell drinks but if you’re going to go to a cafe that trains and teachs people how to make coffee don’t complain if the coffee is bad say it to their faces not to the internet where you can hide. Come and have a chat with me I want to have a talk…”

“Love this place :) Casual beachside setting with delicious coffee and food. They mainly serve scones, cakes, and sandwiches. Perfect for enjoying some sunshine, ocean breeze, and a laid-back vibe. Best on sunny days, though it can get chilly and there are no outdoor heaters so bring a layer. The cheese scones are pretty good too, with a nice crunch on the outside but the matcha latte is so good!”

“Mate I have the best dairy in Wellington convenience at it's best with Mena's. Absolute star of a dude , real team player and everything U want at ya local ,”

“Best banh mi and summer rolls in wellington! Always get lunch here when I can.”

“Just having a smorgesboard close to home is awesome. Their price range is good for the amount they give, their food is yum for sure! The service is great also!”

“Very good pizzas and very warm service.”

“Had the big brekkie and it was mean as. Everything was cooked spot on and the portion was solid. Good flavours, good vibes, and decent value for money. Sweet spot for a weekend feed, I’ll be back for sure.”

“Fantastic restaurant with authentic flavour. Value for money here - support local.”

“Just had the tastiest meal from here! I ordered 4 spring rolls and the satay chicken with extra meat. It was all ready in 10 minutes, and the staff was so friendly. I was given 2 spring rolls for free and the satay chicken was amazing. If you pay for extra meat, you really get a lot! Big portions and so, so tasty. So happy to have found this little place, was so pleased with food, keep up the great service!!”

“Irish people come here! The spice bag is class. Curry sauce and all.”
