    My healthy eating/living journey started with Revive on Lorne St back in the university - I even bought two of their cook books😄. This is your vegetarian food heaven - their meals change daily and salads weekly! 🌽🥕🍅🍆🥦🍠🥒🥔 Had their Millet Salad today - millet have uniquely high content of nutrients, try it! 👍

    My goodness the food here was so good .Unfortunately I discovered Revive just a few hours before I was about to leave the country or I would’ve come here more often .Tastes amazing .The coconut curry with cauliflower rice was fantastic .Salads were filling .

    Small thai vegetarian restaurant on High Street, and it always get busy during dinner time. Crispy chicken is one of their famous dish here and I second that, so crispy and delicious. Salt & pepper tofu was good as a side dish but not as a main IMO as it was a little dry to eat with rice. The portion seems to be smaller now, but still really good value if you are looking for cheap eats in city. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

    I love going here for the vibrant, healthy vegan food but the food often repeats on me, not sure if it's a particular herb or spice. That being said I love their nut butters and pantry supplies. And I tried a hazelnut cacao smoothie that sent me to heaven 3 times! Every week the menu changes, so you'll never get bored of what's on offer. A downside is you have to access the cafe via stairs. If you have a pram it is a bit of a pain, if you have a wheelchair you're out of luck - but there is another accessible cafe in the city, you just won't be able to sit in to eat. I'm actually visiting here from the UK and I have to say the cost of food is pretty good for a city centre based cafe. People say NZ is expensive and I can see that in other places around the city/country but this cafe has reasonable prices. Everyone should come here for their excellently prices nut butters. Compared to the supermarkets like countdown they are super cheap!

    I love the food here. The menu changes weekly and one can never get bored. They have huge variety ! It’s great place for a quick and healthy lunch and the flavours are unique. Another great things about this place are the revive cook books. They offer a huge variety and are definitely a must for anyone who is passionate about cooking. Most recipies are simple and practical. They could however look at the portion size. It’s starting to shrink.

    I absolutely adore Sunflower cafe. I have tried many different items on the menu and thoroughly enjoy the marriage between Asian and vegan food. The staff are consistently helpful, sweet, and warm. The restaurant is always clean and cosy. It is a great place to go both with groups or to eat alone. This is easily one of my favourite eating venues.

    This place is a treat for vegans - must go. They have a huge selection of vegan dishes. We ordered spicy chicken, pancakes, green curry, pad Thai and curry puffs. The pad Thai was the best. My vegetarian friends loved the food, non vegetarians found it average. Staff was very friendly and helpful, place gets packed very quickly.

    A complete ripoff! I ordered a Special of The Day: Baked Mushroom Risotto Balls w Cheezzy Sauce. The meal was very insubstantial and was over in 2 minutes. I was still hungry. I will never go back. $14 for 2 small balls of tasteless rice with 2 tablespoons of sauce. When did a tiny quantity of vegetables cost so much?🤢

    Good quality food but little expensive for the quantity. The restaurant is vegan and everything is no onion no garlic. So good options for Jains. Much recommended.

  • 5/5 Zoe S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great vegan food! So many different option of fake meat

  • 5/5 Vanessa Carolina Sánchez S. 2 years ago on Google
    Got it as a present from my partner's work 🥰 Love the compostable packaging, portion size and variety. The mocka slice is the most delicious chocolatey slice I've tried! I wanted to eat the whole box at once! Not sugary, full of goodness and a nice pinch of salt. It definitely lifted my spirit. We tried their lasagna as well and my little toddler ate the whole thing! Made our family so happy and we'll definitely be ordering again❣️ great option as a care package for friends or family members who are sick or need a bit of emotionally support.

  • 5/5 Jase R. 2 years ago on Google
    Can’t say a bad thing about this place. Love the constant refresh of the menu. Vegan option after vegan option. Makes for a great twice-weekly lunch stop. Not bad prices either!

  • 4/5 Revan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty good vegan food that just needs a tad bit of balancing. Food: while we totally understand that Revive is very much the cafeteria style of food service, there are some minor improvements that could be made to take this place to the five star level for us. A great example would be a savory pie special (sort of a shepherds pie). The flavors were fantastic and the TVP was generous. However, the TVP absorbed all the moisture and the dish was incredibly dry. A gravy or sauce was much needed to balance the dish's textures in the mouth. Similarly, many of the salads seem to have very similar flavor profiles. As such, if you pick the wrong salads, you may feel like you're eating the same thing over and over. Regardless, it was all good and we would go back for lunch anytime. Service: kind and quick for cafeteria serving. No complaints! Atmosphere: a little basic, but clean and modern!

  • 5/5 Andréa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff...nice options if you're looking for a Vegan menu. I recommend the hot+salad combo :)

  • 5/5 Shay Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome concept - delicious, healthy and flavoursome meals at a very reasonable price. Perfect place to pick up dinner after work. Also obsessed with their frooze balls!

  • 4/5 Daksh G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food here is quite delicious and typically I wouldn't say that about anything vegan. The Cafe is pretty good too with decent choice options, Daily specials and big indoor seating. Portion size look pretty small for what you pay for but the food is actually quite filling.

  • 5/5 Michelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious vegetarian food. I had the large option of a hot casserole with cauliflower rice and two salad sides of my own choosing, which was plenty. I probably should order the medium next time, but I won't, because it was too good. The salad options were amazing; I photographed the menu for a bit of inspiration for my own cooking. Friendly, efficient service.

  • 5/5 Virgilio G. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been looking for vegan eatery and found one great and delicious vegan cafe just in city centre. Cheers guys.

  • 4/5 Te Rama K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious, filling and vegetarian. Lots of good flavour and felt wholesome.

  • 5/5 Ilan B. 1 year ago on Google
    My go to place for lunch. Daily new and original salads and amazing hot dishes. I Always have a difficulty in choosing what to eat.

  • 5/5 Amanda T. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a must if you are vegan and are looking for tasty food. Prices are much better compared to Auckland's standards

  • 5/5 Anita M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've ordered goods twice online from revive's website now and both times have been very happy. Delivery is fast, the items are very well packed, and most importantly the items are fresh and delicious! Very good communication throughout the ordering process from start to finish which I appreciate too. Thanks team!

  • 5/5 Tim S. 5 months ago on Google
    We would have eaten every meal here during our 4 day stay in Auckland if it had been open for dinner! After a long haul flight from the States, we were looking for healthy food to bring us back to life and Revive was the perfect spot. There were simply so many healthy choices as well as friendly staff members who helped guide us in our choices. While there is seating here, our first meal was a take away, but we returned the next day and dined there. Thanks for providing healthy food within the realm of fast food restaurants!

  • 4/5 barbara marlena S. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely food, although I order the frozen meals and I would rather pay for shipping than rely on NZ couriers who are absolutely unreliable with their delivery. Last time it took 4 days from CBD Auckland to West Auckland. Perhaps time to check out other courier companies

  • 5/5 Myles F. 7 months ago on Google
    $5.90 vegan meals, good covid vibes, clean environment, just love it! Always go here to eat. Highly recommend this spot

  • 4/5 Desmond M. 7 months ago on Google
    Would give 5 stars if there was an accessible entrance somewhere. I use a wheelchair and am thankfully ambulatory so I was able to get out and my partner brought my chair up the stairs for me but others aren't able to do the same. Food was flavourful and filling and didn't leave me feeling slow and lethargic like most places. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and staff were very friendly. I'll definitely check back next time I'm in Auckland and I hope one day there will be an easier way to get in. In the meantime I'll be recommending this place to all of my abled friends since I think it's perfect otherwise!

  • 5/5 Gary R. 9 months ago on Google
    I ordered the Museli lovers box on line on the 20th July and received it on the 21st July, extremely good delivery service as I live in Marlborough on the south island. Just had the pecan, almond & cranberry crunch and it was delicious, fresh and crunchy. My fiancée also tried and loved it. Looking forward to trying the other 3 types of cereal. First time purchasing and eating from Revive and I am looking forward to ordering and trying more .

  • 5/5 Nivisha A. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing and responsive team!! I've ordered several of their hampers and boxes, but this time they sent me the wrong order due to a mix-up. Within a day of my email, they have already dispatched the right order to me! I really appreciate your quick customer service and generous discount. Cheers. And not to mention just how tasty their products are. Definitely a long-term customer here!!

  • 5/5 tasmyna 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, friendly service. I had Pacifica Korma hotpot, Revive Slaw, and Potato Salad.

  • 4/5 Garth R. 1 year ago on Google
    I remember Revive Cafe pre vegan days. Food was so yum. Now it’s still good but often lacks full flavour. That doesn’t stop me from ordering online. I just add seasoning, spice and dairy. But that’s just my personal preference. If you want 100% vegan food this is the place to go to. Oh and if you order online they offer the option (for a very small fee) to return the chill packaging. That’s a great option to prevent it from going to landfill.

  • 4/5 Sara S. 1 year ago on Google
    It has a great range of salads and soups. The smallest salad option is just $11(2 choices) and it is massive. They use delicious, fresh ingredients. It is very clean. There is lots of tables and seating. It is convenient in the central city, but due to this location there is no outdoor area, it is not wheelchair/blind friendly(stairs at entry), and there is no on street parking or private parking area. There is a lovely clean bathroom. The staff are really friendly. It is easy to get take away. There is a lot of business people around lunchtime, and the ambiance is more metropolitan, and less child and family friendly.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem in Auckland Central. I came on a Friday and tried a delicious Pumpkin and Poppy seeds Dahl. Ayano and Mathias were my hosts and provided great customer service. This place combine good quality, a nice environment and additionally, a varied and tasty food offer. It worths a visit if you are in the city!

  • 1/5 Priya R. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought a GrabOne coupon for salad/hotpot. Food was so drab, no flavour whatsoever and staff were pretty unfriendly. Don’t waste your money here.

  • 4/5 Arthur’s M. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s been so long since I’ve been to Revive! I walked a total of 30 minutes to get there and back but was definitely worth it. I love how they always ask if you want some hummus to go with the dish and I always go for the delicious potatoes for the salad option. If only they could open a branch/move to Wynyard Quarter, that would be a dream come true!

  • 5/5 Sophie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was kindly greeting, I ordered medium hotpot w green bean salad and I loved it. All the foods were delicious and well nutritional. Always wanted to try vegan cafe and I finally made it here!

  • 5/5 Marconi F. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite lunch restaurant for the last month! Must be checked out by anyone who is looking for good food in the CBD, very central, very fresh and very healthy. You will not miss any animal source protein anymore.

  • 5/5 Daniel E. 4 years ago on Google
    Super nice Thai food you wouldn’t even realise your missing the meat! Perfect for a night off the meat or for any vegan, great menu with a wide choice or dishes! Nice staff and pretty cheap, be sure to check it out 😆

  • 5/5 Willy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vegetarian food. Beautiful choices of hot food with great salads. This is my favorite when I come to Auckland. Prices are great and you get a great meal for under $20. Only serves during the day, usually has a que out the door at lunch times. Need one of these in Christchurch

  • 1/5 DnmOrr 1 year ago on Google
    Three years ago, my sister & I got food poisoning from a meal bought from Revive Cafe. We know this to be true, because we shared the meal at 8pm one evening, and 7.5 hours later both of us were puking our guts out. The store completely denied responsibility. Reposting because it seems my old review was removed. Hopefully not relevant now [for both food safety and customer service reasons], but I personally feel it is important not to allow a business to sweep past misdeeds under the rug just because it inconvenient for business.

  • 4/5 Jeremy P. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a place for a great meal: fresh, flavoursome and nutritious. The pseudo meats are delicious, satisfying for the carnivorous ones.

  • 5/5 Bruce Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice red curry

  • 5/5 Ben M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Parth A. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food Specially crispy chicken and spicy chicken.

  • 5/5 Aiya.x S. 3 years ago on Google
    The best vegan food I have ever tried, you can't even tell it isn't real meat! I was skeptical of faux meat until I tried Sunflower, I absolutely adore them and will always go back.

  • 5/5 Abhilash S. 3 years ago on Google
    Best vegan Thai restaurant in Auckland. Loved the food.

  • 5/5 Dhaval S. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice and excellent food

  • 5/5 Kimberly K. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious vegan veggie dishes at reasonable prices. Wide range range of dishes and friendly staff. This is a local honest restaurant not a fancy upscale place. Perfect for lunch or dinner with friends. I love the spicy mock chicken!

  • 5/5 Jas B. 3 years ago on Google
    Sunflower is amazing! So many options to choose from, great location, fantastic for vegans and non-vegans. I got the spicy chicken with rice and veges and it was so good, the chicken is a winner for sure, I would happily order again. It's a casual place so it makes a good chill lunch or dinner with friends. Highly recommend - I'll be returning soon!

  • 5/5 Chris 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best vegan joints in Auckland, amazing meals and quite the variety. Price is the tiniest bit hefty but well worth every huk.

  • 4/5 Benedict U. 3 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is located in the back of what looks like a food court. Keep heading back and follow the signs until you reach the restaurant. The menu is quite extensive and it is all surprisingly vegan. I ordered at the counter and then grabbed an empty table. I was given water after sitting down. I grabbed the pad Thai and it was quite tasty. The flavours were nice and a bit different, I'm guessing due to the addition of other veges that you don't normally see in it like beans. It was a really nice place for a really good meal without meat.

  • 5/5 Dana S. 3 years ago on Google
    Our family thoroughly enjoy Sunflower Restaurant. They have a wonderful selection of vegan meals at great prices. Our favorites are the crispy "chicken", the massaman curry & the "mutton" kebabs. Service is always fairly quick too 😊

  • 4/5 kavitha m. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Monty G. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Naomi B. 7 years ago on Google
    Wow. Fast service and amazing food. This little place is tucked away but worth finding. A fantastic menu filled with vegan goodness and wonderful friendly staff to match.

    We're coming back for sure, such beautiful care and flavours gone into every meal we tried. Thanks so much !!

  • 2/5 Lior H. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is not tasty. Too sweet, strange taste of deep fried stuff. Very disappointing, as I love Thai, and love vegan.

  • 4/5 Mufasa H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great vegan pad thai. Enjoyed the food and reasonably priced. The menu was outdated so I paid a bit more than expected but it was stiff worth it. Cheers

  • 3/5 Malcolm S. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty average food, has a real Asian food court feel to the place though. Reasonably priced but that was reflected in the quality

  • 5/5 Vela 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice food affordable prices

  • 5/5 Conor D. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was Soo good, I had the red curry, which was full of goodness, I walked in and was greeted by a smile which is always great, very polite people. Yeah like I said I had the red curry which I really liked. The only thing I would say is that maybe a larger portion of rice, but honestly it wasn't a big deal.

  • 1/5 Michael A. 3 years ago on Google
    Don't think I'll go back here. Ordered a tofu dish. Was mostly frozen peas swimming in flavorless soy water. Barely edible mess.

  • 5/5 Ajay Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing thai food, absolutely loved it and 100% vegetarian makes the deal so sweet 😍🥰

  • 5/5 lol l. 4 years ago on Google
    delicious and affordable food that fulfils everyone’s dietary needs! Friendly staff and good atmosphere! great place

  • 5/5 Jesse 4 years ago on Google
    Cosy and casual atmosphere in a little corner of High street, with great quality food that tastes truly authentic, and a good price for the amount of food served. The chef definitely know their way around their ingredients, and presentation is always meticulous. Usually enough sitting space around, however can get busier around dinner time. Oh, and did I mention that everything in vegan? One of my personal all-time favourite restaurant which I take my friends and family to time and time again, and never ceases to fail! Huge thumbs up, highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Darryl M. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow ! We almost felt guilty eating the crispy “chicken” - we shared that and a red curry between us and it was so good my glasses fogged up. Dinner for two for under $40 and friendly service ... raving.

  • 1/5 Jon G. 4 years ago on Google
    Usually very good food for the price. Unfortunately yesterday we both got big stomach issues shortly after eating there.

  • 5/5 Olivia V. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly service, delicious food at a decent price. Would reccommend the crispy 'chicken' and the dumplings!

  • 5/5 Familie D. 4 years ago on Google
