Health food restaurant
👍👍 The best salad place ever. I am a person who loves eating junk food but ever since my colleague recommended this place, I have starting eating good nutritious food which amazes my taste buds. The smoothies and salads are simply mesmerising and so filling. It has definitely become my go-to place.

Tala
Restaurant
👍👍 I had such a lovely time enjoying the Chefs Journey on the opening night. It was a wonderful menu celebrating Samoan stories through food. The palusami was my favourite; a croquet on coconut cream which captured the memory and experience of eating palusami with the crunch of a baked taro. The apa f...

Back To The Kitchen (Eden terrace)
Hamburger restaurant
👍👍 The food was so delicious 👍 Normally, I would never order a beef burger, but after eating here, I'm going to order from now on. The burger is bigger than I thought and it's so good. It's full of flavor, bun was really soft so it goes very well with meat. Meat was juicy and thick also not overly coo...

👍👍 Absolutely amazing risotto, flavourful and everything is just perfection. For the carbonara, apart from the pasta being a bit overcooked, it is a great dish as well. Third time here, will come back again!

Pizza restaurant
👍👍 Can’t think of any flaws about Peter and Pizza Pizza. From the prompt response via email about booking to the end of our session, last Saturday, was 5 stars. The pizza‘s were so bomb and they kept coming out, same with the drinks! We even played our own music on our speaker and it was a vibe. Highly...

Salad shop
👍👍 This salad shop is a modern gem. The decor and over all design is the perfect picture to a modern Auckland swanky food boutique. The food is priced on par with other lunch establishments, and there is surprising variety for a place that just sells salads; I expected the menu to be aimed at vegans, b...

Mexican restaurant
😠 When I entered it was amazing. They gave us our warm greeting and led us to our sitting. It all went down hill when ordering. We ask to go through the menu as we didn't quit understand the menu. The man suggested what we should order but decided to order something different. We called him back as w...
