Absolute crap - probably the worst attempt at Mexican I have ever encountered…read more This was at the Botany on September 3rd. Half the fillings were not available (they only have 6 to start with), Nachos stale, staff are like zombies, the wait was 20+ minutes and there was only 2 people in front of us - the food itself looked like a health hazzard. You can't leave a review on their website because it never works. Just shit all round

Curry Palace was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was. The staff was quick and attentive, and…read morethe food was fantastic. The chicken korma and butter chicken were so creamy and flavorful. The samosas were quite large but perfect to share between two people; they also had excellent flavor. The garlic naan and mango lassi paired well with everything we ordered. This place appears to be primarily for take away, but dining in was pleasant with music playing in the background and well-set tables. I'd definitely come back.

Lets be honest; Ponsonby Fresh Fish and Chips is not as great as those nut-jobs at Metro magazine…read morewould have you believe. Those dudes don't know squat about chippies. This place is pretty good. But it is definitely not the best. Sure, the chips are pretty great, and I've never eaten fish from here, but the donuts are a bloody disaster. Possibly the worst donuts in the country. The price of chips is high, but I guess that's symptomatic of the economy. They have a great sign. I'm not that into the weird L&P branding they've exercised though. I guess if you're in Ponsonby and you want fish and chips, you should go here. But don't expect the portion size or anything else to blow you away. To be honest, if you're expecting some fish and chips to 'blow you away' you're probably a bit of a chowderhead.

This place is generally quite clean and located on the Ponsonby strip, opposite SPQR!…read more They have all the regular food including burgers, beer-battered or crumbed (fresh) fish, potato fritters, mussels, donuts, hotdogs and crab fingers. Fairly expensive, however well presented fish-n-chips presented with lemon wedges and an ample portion, but not too generous! You can phone through your order which saves time, parking right outside. Good service overall.

I grew up just off Dominion Road so as a child Bilbo's was our local fish and chippie…read more I've no idea how many times I have visited Bilbo's over the years, but it's never let me down! Charging the usual prices and serving the usual food for an Auckland fish and chip shop - fish, hotdogs, potato fritters, nuggets and chips, as well as a range of Chinese food, Bilbo's could be just another takeaway store, except it's not. What sets it apart as a complete winner in my book is its opening hours. Bilbo's is one of the only takeaway stores in Mt Eden that is open late. Really late. Bilbo's is where you head at the end of your night out. My friends and I used to taxi straight to Bilbo's from our after-balls and big nights in town, grab some hot chips and nuggets and eat them on the walk home. Classic. The staff are pretty friendly at ol Bilbo's too - I imagine by being open so late they see their fair share of craziness, yet they manage to keep a smile on their face and provide very fast service. Good food, fast food, friendly staff, opne late = two thumbs up from me!

Sure it's nothing special, no excessive decorating, you have to go through kitchen to get to toilet, handwritten ..some misspelt extras to the menu written on card sheets on the wall and no flash tables or chairs, but we like it how it is that's why we keep coming back ...and back again. The service is friendly, good atmosphere, nice food and the price is really good especially when comparing what you get to other places out there. Anyway specifically about the food...we have tried several different dishes over time but have now come to the point where we love it so much that we just order the whole duck everytime...this is eaten two ways ( 两吃 ) and maybe sometimes we order some veges too. The duck is cooked well and I could eat a lot more than what is given on the plate. So delicious it is!!! Other dishes we have eaten there over time meet the same standards. It can get busy at times as it is popular ....more so with locals. But no doubt there has been a few out of towners wander in now and then. They do take out also. If you are after some decent not badly priced chinese in the area definitely try here.

It was all very nice - I would come again without hesitation. Thank you.caesar Salad

The food is fairly pricey, even for snack food, although it was compensated by tasting delicious. Being right by the water is an added bonus to the atmosphere, especially if you're able to grab a seat in the front. They have a mix of high and low seated tabling for different occasions - whether you're just there for a quick beer or booked in for a sit down meal.

One night at the outdoor cinema at Silo Park, I wanted to grab some dinner, so decided to try…read moreMexiKai. They describe themselves as "mexican street food with a pacific vibe." I got the three tacos for $12 and they were really, really good. On the menu was a beef taco, chicken taco and a vegetarian option (which had a nice dash of spice to it). I tried the chicken taco which also had pumkin in it, and toasted coconut salad. It was great. I also really like my vegetarian taco - which had mushrooms, cheese, beans, corn and salad; with just the perfect amount of spice to it. As MexiKai uses a truck that moves around various events (check their website for dates and places) - you can even hire one out for a private event. If you did, I think that would be one fine party.

The Mexi Kai truck is usually parked down in a carpark near the Autrium on Elliot and makes for a…read moreperfect weekday lunch, especially when the sun is shining and you can sit out on one of the park benches and enjoy a taco or three. These guys stand out on the Auckland 'food truck' scene as actually producing food that is full of flavour and not full of fat. I had the trio of tacos and mixed up my flavours - one beef, one pulled pork (excellently good) and one chicken. My friend had a pulled pork burrito and that looked sensational as well. This truck can also be found at local festivals and events around Auckland so even if you don't work in the city, hunt it down somewhere near you.

I have to admit they're not as good as my mum's but it definitely did the trick. There's something amazing about a hot roast when you're home sick. My favourite is the Pork Roast purely because of a certain crunchy, fatty, salty goodness - the crackling. It's so, so good, but so, so bad. Oops. Ah well, you only live once right! They're actually not too badly priced too, about $15 for a large meal, which would honestly feed a small family. Or one really hungry Uni student. If you're in need of some extreme comfort food, this is the place to go. Then you should go home, eat it and call your mum.

The best chocolate mousse you can get from a shitty food store. The nicest potatoes. I got a chicken one and there was heaps of food, enough that you could probably only eat half and then save the rest for your lunch the next day, or for a midnight, post-drinking snack. It's reasonable priced, about the same as any roast shop, but I really liked it. I went back there a few times while I was living in dirty old Grey Lynn, and while it's no Westmere Roast, it's certainly delicious.
