It is like having lunch at your cool aunt's place. Homestyle fabulous! Compared to the other options nearby, this sunny little glass front cafe is a little piece of heaven. The ladies who own it are super friendly, and say hello by name whenever I stop by. They do fabulous catering, and their morning tea is to die for (warm just baked cheese scones.... savory tarts with cumin and kumera... excuse me, I'm drooling...) At lunch time they always have an assortment of interesting and healthy salads -- tons of vegetarian options, and you can mix and match as many as you want in a container. One of my favorite options of late is the spicy eggplant. It's half an eggplant that's been roasted, scooped out, mixed up with spices and whatnot, and put back in the skin. I LOVE eggplant, and this is as good as it gets!!! I always find it hard to resist their beautiful cakes. I tend to buy a slice with the idea of bringing it home to share with my husband for dinner, but sometime around my afternoon tea I end up starting to sample it. I've had the carrot cake, which was delicious, and another lemon cake thingy which was also to die for. Check out their Facebook page where they advertise their salads and other goodies for the day! Worth a trip out if you're trekking around Mangere domain, or on your way back from an airport pickup!

They're a mix of fish and chips and Chinese food by the plate load, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The best part about Nocky's and inarguably the most popular, is their chicken nibbles. You just can't go wrong and I know very few people (with bad taste) that don't enjoy these. They are perfectly fried and cooked every time, and you can buy 40 or 100 at a time. Those chicken nibbles are a great feature for any shared lunch and will disappear before you know it. Needless to say they taste awesome! I love the pineapple fritters here, which is what I look for in every takeaway shop, and they do another awesome dish- pineapple and cashew nuts with combination meat (but you can pick just one meat if you prefer), a favourite of mine if I'm on my own. The staff here work pretty fast and even when its busy the wait isn't too long- they definitely know how to feed a crowd. The prices here are reasonable whether you're buying food for one or twenty, and they always give you a good deal if you're buying a lot. I've seen a couple of Warriors players here on weekends too grabbing food (I won't name drop!), so that's got to be some kind of compliment to this place!

My favourite thing to get is a beef burger meal, always served with juicy chips and aioli sauce to dip them into. They make it fresh each time, but take no more than 15 minutes, even during peak time. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and tend to remember your order if you frequent them as I do! The vibe of the place is slightly rustic and not at all to be compared with Mac Donalds, so don't even try! Their pizzas also surpass some of the franchises, so be sure to pop in and dig in.
