Restaurant in Wellington

“We had a lovely time, two mornings in a row. Great service, great food. Amazing coffee. Value for money and opens at 7AM!”

“Coffee to die for and beautiful authentic seafood chowder deliciously thick and packed with real seafood. Big thanks to Nish and Liam.”

“Big breakfast was very nice and coffee was nice very quick service a day nice staff”

“Went to see the doors cover band, which was fantastic. It's such a great venue. As I have a spinal injury, I got there early to get one of the few seats available.”

“I had the best orange chicken of my life today — thank you to the amazing team at Joe’s Cook for the delicious food and exceptional service.”

“Bubble tea was so refreshing. The food was cooked with excellency and customer service was the BEST! Made us feel welcomed and very clean! Will be visiting again, very soon. THANK YOU!”

“Hassan is an absolute legend and I cannot say enough about how his stall contributes to the weekend market! Everything is always impeccably fresh, and you cannot stop the man from smiling. A long time ago I told Facebook about him - now I'm telling google too. :)”

“The sushi was excellent! The salmon felt like it was melting in my mouth, it was so buttery and smooth. Also I definitely recommend trying the cream puffs, they are really light and it feels like they pop in your mouth. The staff are really friendly! The seating area is a bit tight tho.”

“I have travelled the world. I have been to Europe and I have tasted my uncles home cooked pizza. I have been to Milan and I have been to France. I will say only one thing. The creamy pineapple pizza stands undefeated and very much unchallenged. Who else could try? Miss u crème fraiche”

“As a former NYer, this place nails it. About as far as you can get from NYC and the flavor is spot on. They put the slices back in the oven so the crust is nice and crispy. I would pull 1/4 point if I could for not having shakers of garlic powder or Jamaican beef parties on the menu.”

“Got dinner here with my wife our first night in Wellington, mostly because it was near the craft market we visited first. Food was good and well-worth the price, even had enough leftovers for another meal the following day since we had a fridge in our hotel. Not where I would go if I was looking for high-end authentic Japanese food but would absolutely go again and recommend for a quick bite, my wife liked the katsu enough that we've worked to find places with good katsu at home in Chicago. Seating was inside but open to a busy street, it wasn't problematic but is worth knowing depending on your mood.”

“Been here many times. Excellent pizza, and their hot chocolates are a spiritual experience - best in Wellington. Absolute must for anyone whether you're a local or from elsewhere!”

“I recently tried a prawn curry, and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were so well-balanced, with a perfect blend of spices and creamy coconut milk. The prawns were cooked to perfection, tender and juicy in every bite. It's easily one of the best prawn curries I've ever had, and I highly recommend it!”

“Love their food! Hidden gem in Linden.”

“We had an amazing time. The food tasted outstanding and came out very quick. We also appreciated that they had a fully vegan menu. The staff were also very knowledgeable and made the effort to explain the origins of the dishes we were eating and share how they were cooked. We also found the staff really professional in the face of some rude demanding customers, who were expecting long conversations after they had ordered when there were other guests who needed to be served. The customers were absolutely awful, but the staff handled everything politely and professionally while ensuring everyone was still served in good time. Would highly reccomend!”

“Saffron Haveli serves some of the best Indian food in Wellington! The chicken biryani is packed with flavour, and the butter chicken is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Pairing it with their garlic naan takes the experience to another level. The food is fresh, and the portions are generous. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!”

“My partner and I usually go out once a month for dinner to restaurants around Wellington and we were delighted with this place! I have a gluten intolerance and the staff member that served us was super accommodating! I absolutely loved the cocktails, I had a tropical one with an ice block and a toasted marshmallow screwer. My partner had a yellow curry and I had the Bangkok Street Noodles and they even gave me some peanut sauce as I could have soy sauce and it went perfectly well with it! I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back! Thanks for a great night and experience!”

“Delicious food! Highly recommended, I believe the chef (Umesh) is highly experienced and brings his expertise all the way from bangalore (southern india). I look forward to having a meal again shortly. Hospitality of nitin was amazing and we felt welcomed straight away.”

“Best Indian I have had in wellington! Some friends introduced us to this place and we will be back for sure. We shared 6 different curries and they were all really tasty and the so were the pani puri. Nice views out onto tye harbour too.”

“This place has the best food I’ve had in Wellington. The flavours are amazing and the portions are gigantic. The staff are really nice and there’s a lot to choose from. It came out very quickly”

“The place is really lovely, the food is exceptional, and the staff are super kind! Highly recommended!”

“OMG the "Pasion Ardiente (Burning Passion)" cocktail is the absolute BEST! Can ask for it to be less spicy if you want. Have never had such a delicious cocktail before, apart from my usual Pina Coladas. 1st time here, can't wait to come back. Great staff, atmosphere, and food looked amazing. We just came for drinks this time.”

“Went here for my mum's birthday today and was very impressed by the food. Up there with the best Cantonese style food in Wellington. Really varied menu with some unique dishes that I haven't seen on menus before. We ordered a lot of dishes and every dish was fresh and delicious. Highlights were the roast pork, beef with ginger and spring onion, stuffed eggplant and pepper, fried dumplings and the chicken stuffed with shrimp paste and topped with almonds. Can't wait to come back and try the soups.”

“We hosted our book club in the upstairs room on a Monday night and Colin was super helpful, so accommodating and it was a good central spot for those working in town, while still feeling like we could escape for a couple of hours! We worked our way through a few of the non-alcoholic beer and gin offerings too; appreciated having options for those driving.”

“A great place to chill and enjoy the crowds (or army of suits). Very easy to get to, via bus or rail. Food was great beer was too only downside no Stella. Will come again soon :)”

“Absolutely amazing! The staff are lovely, kai was top quality, you will not regret eating here. As a Maori the environment and energy made me feel right home!. ✨❤️ Gorgeous ocean view whilst eating was just a bonus☀️ Ngā mihi nui ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The grilled pork on rice was absolutely incredible. It was seriously the best I've had in the city. I also grabbed some spring rolls for an appetizer, and they were a delicious way to kick off the meal. Overall, a fantastic experience. Great food, friendly service”

“This place doesn’t deserve a 5 star it deserves a 10!! The food was extremely delicious! The staff were on point. The food wait time was just perfect. You guys deserve nothing but a 10 out of 10! Thanks for the amazing hospitality! Definitely see you next time! So much to pick from. Worth a shot on everything. We had 5 things and everything was perfectly cooked.”

“Greeted by a lovely guy who was very friendly. Decided to sit outside despite the overcast weather instead of waiting for an inside table which turned out to be a good decision. The food & coffee was great. The staff were very helpful. Will definitely be back.”

“Every two weeks I'm at The Arborist for my BX Networking meeting and am about to have my son's 21st birthday celebration there. Everyone is lovely to deal with and the atmosphere is wonderful! The food and drinks are yummy. You can't go wrong at The Arborist!”
