    Bodega is a little hidden gem in West Auckland. This is due to the eatery's set up, open outdoor flow and lovely views. The service from all the staff was excellent. They were attentive and professional. Across the board the food was average hence the four stars. The food needs more love...more flavour.

    Just found this place and am glad about it! Tucked out of sight, if no one tells you, you wouldnt know. Enjoyed the pretty rural outlook and vibe of the place. It was busy on this Thursday night dinner with my two favorite humans (my children). There was enough parking and sunset was beautiful with a glass of wine. Lovely service, we did have a booking, when we were seated they were clear about how long we had to order as the kitchen was closing soonish. I enjoyed my meal of gnocchi. Mixed opinions from my children. The older one had salmon pizza, she said it needed an interesting sauce drizzle of some sort as it was a bit bland, i didnt try it so cant comment. Younger one had pork belly. The fat needed a bit more rendering but also he doesn't eat much , he said he liked the meat. I loved the veges that came with it. Servings were quite large so i feel the prices were reasonable. I wish we got to try dessert. Will do next visit as we wil go back again at an earlier time, menu looks great

    Set in Rural New Zealand, with sheep paddocks in the background. Excellent atmosphere, outside dining. Menu included Pizzas, salads, tapas, and other mains. Pizza was delicious. Great venue for family and kids.

    A hidden gem tucked away off the road side, you'll forget you are in the middle of the suburbs. Lovely to sit out on a table in the sunshine. All the food was great and the staff were attentive and friendly. I'd happily return.

    Very friendly, proactive staff. Nice atmosphere. The low rating is really because of the food. Lacked flavor, nothing special, average at best. Did not really enjoy anything we ordered unfortunately.

    Five stars all the way. Snuggled in exquisite grounds in Henderson. Bodega is a beautiful restaurant /Cafe here in West Auckland. Super welcoming and professional staff. Happy to help make your experience memorable! The selection on the menu is catering to all, and the servings are generous & delicious. Highly recommended. So if you in Henderson, go have a look

    A lovely place tucked into Glen Eden, with delicious food and a great deal. My sister and I got the lunch deal, which is $28 for garlic bread, a choice of their special lunch menu and house drink. I got steak with salad for my lunch, it was so good and cut through with ease. My sister had chilli prawns with salad, she loved it. The atmosphere was great and staff were friendly, I’ll definitely come back here again and recommend it to my friends and family in Glen Eden.

    We came here after reading the great reviews and were not disappointed. The staff were attentive, friendly and professional. There are several choices as to where to sit, both outdoors and indoors. We ended up having a small room to ourselves indoors, with a nice view of the surrounding countryside. As a coeliac, I really appreciated all the gluten free options on the menu. The pizza I ordered was very tasty, and the garlic bread divine. The other two in our group ordered spaghetti carbonara and hubby raved over his dish. The only markdown was for the extra $3 for the gf bread, and the rather thin and tough gf pizza base. The lunch special of garlic bread, mains and house wine for $28 is excellent value. We will definitely be back.

    I have been dining at Bodega for YEARS, and it has never been a let down! I luckily work close to Bodega which makes my work friends and I big fans of the $25 Lunch Menu. This includes garlic bread, a house drink and a lunch main (on their selected menu Wed-Friday) The restaurant itself is in a private and beautiful setting which I love on its own. Then you add food to the mix and I am in my happy place! I highly recommend their Cabonara Dish... but also everything else on their menu is always a hit as well! The staff that were working on Wednesday 16th March were all so amazing (So sorry, I usually ask for names but I totally forgot today) We always receive such fast and friendly service, and I have never had any bad experiences here with the food or service! Highly Recommend Thank you so much!

    I only discovered this place by chance. I wanted to check out the antique store, and was looking for parking, when I stumbled on this place. It was 26 degrees, and I thought an ice cold beer won't go amiss. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. They have quite a substantial drinks menu including all sorts of wines, beers, spirits, non alcoholic, and hot beverages. Their menu has several crowd pleasers, and something for everyone. I was very disappointed with the jalopeno meal because of ratio vs price. On the other hand, I was very impressed with the "side" order of chips and salad. And the beer was, in fact, ice cold! In all it's a great place. Lovely indoor, outdoor, and patio seating, with a view over the vineyards. It gives it a nice country feel, even though it's practically on my doorstep. I will definitely come again.

    Waited an hour for a chowder that lacked flavour and the wrong pizza to come out, we didn’t say anything because we were too hungry to wait any longer. But it wasn’t too bad overall.

  • 5/5 Kieran 4 months ago on Google
    Great spot, food was excellent, wine selection has variance in choice - local names / good quality. Food had large portions while still maintaining high quality ingredients. Sat inside as was raining - which had a nice atmosphere. Looking forward to going back in summer and sitting outside. No faults, perfect lunch.

    On a sunny saturday arvo, a delightful safe haven was found. Drinks selection plentiful, food delicious!

  • 4/5 Jay G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great spot very pretty - away from noisy roads. Service was great but the food took a long time - they were quite busy but seemed a bit disorganised as we had 4 different servers and had to ask where the food was and ask again for the drink with the food .If you want quiet stay inside as outside is open for kids to run around .Frozen margarita was presented well but I couldn’t taste any alcohol .The food was good just a tad small portions.

    Lovely place, fabulous food. We enjoyed a lovely view while eating. Staff was really friendly and kind. The croquetas were my favorite. Really recommend. 👌🏻 Plenty of options in the menu. Easy parking right outside.

  • 5/5 Rachel V. 6 months ago on Google
    Our favourite restaurant out west! Love everything about it. Staff are helpful, friendly, attentive and always smile. Can't wait for next time.

  • 4/5 Lillian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to dine out in nice weather with the variety of outdoor dinning space (good for big group too, there was a huge celebration on one side that as it's slightly cordoned off did not disrupt rest of the restaurant). We grabbed some dinner in the weekend after a walk in the Waitakere Ranges, shared a sangria (yum), tapas - the prawn (very good) and croquette (okay). We were looking forward to get a pizza as, as soon as we walked in, there was an amazing aroma of wood fired pizza. Alas, we were disappointed at the soggy base that fairly ruined it (we got the four meat pizza). Service was great. Food could be better.

  • 4/5 CasNat D. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place with a great atmosphere. A group of us from work decided to come here for dinner and the food was amazing! The staff were friendly and nice and made sure to check up on us. This made us want to come back again and try out the other items on the menu. So we headed back for lunch this time and ordered the lunch special, which was simply divine, and we left feeling satisfied and super full.

  • 5/5 Adrian C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic visit. Loved the food location and service. Pity the band wasn't on when we were here however I will definitely be returning.

    Nice little vineyard in Henderson. A good list of wine, very tasty. Food was great portion and healthy ingredients. Would go back for a wine tasting with friends.

  • 2/5 Matthew W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and a lovely dining environment. The food however was very lacklustre. My wife and I were both very surprised. Might go back again to see if it was a once off bad experience but unlikely.

  • 5/5 Brad M. 8 months ago on Google
    This place has a rare mix of having the whole shebang. Great food/drink, beautiful location, great atmosphere, and amazing staff. One member of our group of 4 can be a bit fussy at times. I think every thing she ordered has special requests for adjustments on it. She didn't like the table they offered us, so they kindly set up another one, and then she requested again to move. Although the place was clearly busy, not one of the staff showed any element of frustration or anything at all these requests. They had big smiles on their faces and very kindly accommodated at every step! The food tasted fresh and delicious. Thank you so much, guys, we will be back many times now that we've found this place!

  • 5/5 Evelyn 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time here! gorgeous setting, elegant and tasteful. food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. I was especially impressed by the way they help ensure any kids who come along will enjoy their evening too! Lots of garden space, colouring in sheets and pencils provided, connect four and beanbags to play with in the shade and animals to view I would recommend making a reservation prior to going.

  • 5/5 Anna M. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff make this venue a delightful experience - nothing was too much trouble, the restaurant was cool and had a relaxed polished vibe - the food was outstanding - I totally recommend Bodega !!!! Easy to hear people talking as well in case of bringing elderly friends here for a meal

  • 5/5 Wagner S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place embedded in a vineyard just off Pars Cross Road. Lovely tapas, indoor and outdoor ambients, perfect to chill out of have a nice meal. We tried some tapas and the chicke and jamon croquetes and the fried goat cheese balls were my favorites!

  • 5/5 Farah A. 1 year ago on Google
    I went many times and most of them for Brunch and recently for Christmas party and it was the best atmosphere and experience, very good food and choices, friendly staff, service is good but food takes abit of time but it's worth it. We had frozen margaritas ( strawberry and pation fruit ) and it tasted, Polenta fries, fried squid, chicken squares, roasted chicken with fries or salad, prawns salad, steak with fries or salad and red pasta, dessert date pudding, backed cream caramel and selection of ice cream, food was amazing Definitely will come back.

  • 5/5 J O. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here was delicious, the service was above exceptional with all staff attentive, happy and smiling. It's set away from the road in a small vineyard which makes for a great atmosphere. We dined outside with friends, had plenty of space and a great night was had.

👍👍 Lovely staff and fantastic food. I went to La Rosa to celebrate my birthday and it was totally worth it.

👍 Forgot to photograph the main, but all was delicious! You can pay extra to sit in the dome pictured - it costs $60 for dinner so we opted to just sit inside. Staff were friendly and attentive. The two or three course option is well priced if you are dining Sun- Thur.

Can’t fault tandoori Chicken or even the mushroom version. Dopiaza and Jalfrezi my favourites and the great Vindaloo...
