Restaurant in Wellington

“Had the pork & chive dumplings and pork fried rice - both very delicious and well priced! Fried rice wasn’t overly oily and was enjoyable to eat. Dumplings were perfect. The owners were lovely too! Would definitely go back for their food. ☺️”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“Best food and it's always fresh”

“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!”

“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”

“I’ve eaten a lot of fish and chips and Chineses food in my time, haven’t had anything better. Don’t let the modest area and surrounding commerces deflect you, these are great people, generous of spirit, conversation, and culinary awesomeness. We went 3 times in the one week we were here, twice for Chinese and once for fish and chips. Can’t wait to be back!”

“Had a great b party there love the small classic keeler Lissie”

“A wonderful birthday lunch at Picnic! I cannot thank Picnic Cafe enough for an absolutely fabulous 70th birthday lunch! It was Wellington on a good day and the roses were in full bloom. This is such a fantastic venue for Welly locals and especially for visitors. The service was outstanding with the manager and his staff graciously, attentively and very efficiently accommodating 26 exuberant family and friends. It worked beautifully for the group that each could select what they wanted for lunch and the atmosphere was relaxed and, well, picnic-y. It couldn't have been better! Highly recommended. Thank you to Paul Lester and J Paul and Picnic! Mary Dec 2025”

“We were welcomed in by the owner, an awesome lady from Sicily Italy, she complimented us and made you feel welcome. Service and food just sooo good. Highly recommend and would love to visit again.”

“Second time visiting this place. Excellent food, and always attentive service. Had chicken and chorizo epanadas, bread with crushed tomatoes and basil, slow cooked lamb, salmon, paella croquettes and crema catalana”

“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.”

“Always, always high quality, been going for years and have never once had an issue. Love the sushi and every staff member is always so helpful and welcoming! Love this store. Will always try to go here above others!!”

“On my way back to Auckland and was at the Wellington airport. Felt like a burger so decided to have a burger. It was really nice, succulent chicken and crispy bacon. Good fries too.”

“Love the sweet and sour pork here - the picese are crispy while soaked in the glaze. Chips are just rightly crisp outside and soft inside. They know how to manage expectations and give wait times that vary with the waiting line (15 minutes for me vs 20 minutes for the customer 2 orders after)”

“A hidden gem in Churton Park! I stopped in at Simmer Café and was seriously impressed. I had a mocha and a cheese scone, and both were outstanding. The mocha was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too bitter. The cheese scone was fresh, warm, and full of flavour — one of the best I’ve had in Wellington. The staff were welcoming and the café had a great local atmosphere — clean, relaxed, and clearly a favourite with regulars. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!”

“QT Wellington is a fantastic stay. The service is warm and genuinely friendly, especially the team at the restaurant, which makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The location couldn’t be better — just across from Te Papa museum and right in the heart of Wellington’s vibrant waterfront. I also loved the artsy atmosphere throughout the hotel, from the lobby, the bar to the rooms, which gives the place so much character. A great choice if you want both comfort and a creative vibe.”

“Went to watch the AB France game here last night . Great bar, good atmosphere, friendly staff and a nice platter to watch the game , would recommend”

“Coffee is A++ and I’m a coffee snob, was nice to finish a good coffee. I had chicken wings, while they’re were a tad oily they were still tasty and a decent serving! Had a chips on the side and that was also a decent serving and were very tasty, bonus points for not having dry wings. Partner had the chicken burger which he really enjoyed. Overall a really nice experience, the lady who served us was super polite and had fab hospo skills - very welcoming. Fire was also on so we were toasty warm. We will back back in the summer ☀️”

“The dosa was absolutely delicious, really tasty and well made. Food quality is excellent and I’d definitely come back for the taste alone. The only downside was the cleanliness, the floor and tables were sticky, which took away from the overall experience. If they improve this, it would be a perfect spot.”

“This is the BEST duck I ever had in my life, I’m a roasted duck searcher everytime I’m dining out from home and my father is a Chinese chef too, the chef in this place remember me him so much. There are seats to eat in and he does also massive take aways, the price is cheap compared to the portions. Really tasty meals and we stayed three days in Wellington going there at least once a day to eat his food. Super suggested! P.s. He may not super chatty like other restaurant owners but you can tell how much passion and love he put in what he does. He knows what to do if you have special request! Give it a try ✨”

“Really good chicken and felafel kebab. It wasn't overloaded with soggy lettuce and carrot like a lot of kebab places tend to do. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was typical of a foodcourt.”

“Perfect aro chips, crumb fish, batter fish, mussels, pineapple fritter, etc. on Sat arvo. Oldskool kiwi milkshakes in a giraffe cup.”

“Crumbed fish & 1/2 scoop of chips, my standard order. This photo is a Fish burger, 1/2 scoop chips & a Spring roll. Very tasty food. Friendly, family run business, lovely service. Great neighbourhood chippy.”

“I would say this is the best fish n chip shop i have been to for a while. When I visit Wellington, this is a place I must visit and order from the wide range menu, and always know it will taste wonderful. Staff are always friendly when I have visited and are always polite as well. Would highly recommend this place to anyone and suggest it as a place you must visit for some delicious food whatever you may order. I have to add this little note too there burgers are very nice and filling.”

“Jugnus’s Little India offers an authentic taste of India right on our doorstep. Their butter chicken is a sublime journey of flavors, and the street food options transport you straight to the bustling lanes of Delhi. For genuine Indian cuisine that tickles the taste buds, this is the place to be! Parking is easy to find and pay attention on the location, it is at the end of the motel’s driveway. Then the great smell will lead you to their door.”
