First Nepali restaurant in New Zealand for me and was pleasantly surprised. There aren't many…read moreNepali restaurants around Auckland from what I could see. We ordered almost every type of momos to try it. The lamb momo was so juicy but the classic chicken in still my favorite. The spicy c momo and Sechuan momo were almost the same in my opinion. Overall really enjoyed the restaurant! The service was also very fast. There is outside and inside seating.

We stopped in for brunch to celebrate a birthday and it was confirmed. Humbug is a totally cool…read morecafé in this backwater Glen Eden street. I'd say Humbug is putting Rua Road firmly on the map because Aucklanders are flocking here any time of day. Brunch was delicious, I got the big breakfast with free range bacon; birthday girl got the mushrooms on toast which reportedly was yummy. Central hub of the café is the kitchen and counters, open plan and in full view of customers. If you want it a little quieter walk through to the second room which has a cosey family corner with multiple couches and lots of toys for toddlers. There are plenty of tables to accommodate the patrons and under-cover outside seating.

Three out of four of the ladies toilets were blocked, one with faeces floating. Bar staff said they…read morewere aware of it and that it would be cleaned out over night! Why were the doors not closed & 'Out of Order' signs put on them?! This is disgusting! Would have left immediately but we had already ordered & paid for our Margaritas. At $19 each we were totally disappointed. Served in 2 different types of small cocktail glasses, rather than the usual Margarita tumblers, three ladies had larger drinks than the other three. Worse than that - the drinks tasted watery!!! We discussed this with the waitress who said they had started using a Margarita 'mix' over the last week & there had been other complaints. So why hadn't this been fixed already? Won't be going back. Shocking end to a great night where we had dined at the restaurant next door Mae Nam Khong - which has great food!

I don't really go here to eat (vegetarian options are near nill) so usually its a drink and some bread and dips or fries sort of scenario.

I think this is one of those kebab places that don't really get the recognition they probably…read moredeserve. I like my kebabs, so I venture to new places all the time, to check out what's on offer. And this place really offers a lot! Not only do they do kebabs but they also do a type of pizza which was interesting. I hadn't really come across that before. On top of that they are flexible with your orders, and are also very accommodating to vegetarians which is always nice. The flavours are really there too, which makes me think they use quality ingredients and probably as fresh as possible. They do table service and are prompt with cleaning up which is nice too.

I thought I'd try out my local kebab shop, and I'm glad I did: far from bring the usual mystery meat dodgy joint, this one has a good range of Turkish/"Middle Eastern" food, including pizza, iskenders, and salads. I had a vegetarian moussaka and I was super pleased to see that it had a number of recognisable vegetables in it, and tasted like someone had cooked it recently, and it wasn't just taken from the freezer and reheated in the microwave. I also got a decently sized and equally fresh salad with it too. I shall return!

Quite a few people get this and when I did I was stuck eating it the whole night. Not really a dish for one, must share it with a few people.

No disappointment here, except I would have liked the roll to be a bit more crispy on the outside. Otherwise, it was bursting with flavor - a nice mix of smoky sweet sauce and fresh crunchy carrot, sprouts, and coriander. It tasted just as it should, and I was very pleased that a vegetarian option was available. My husband had the geisha, cold soba noodles with sprouts, veggies, a nice dressing and warm tofu. A huge helping of delicious pickled ginger on top - my dream as a ginger lover though he thought it was a bit too much. I grabbed a taste and found it to be nice and flavorful if a bit less adventurous than other offerings. Our friend got the nest, sunflower crumbed soft boiled eggs in a nest over salad with blood sausage added. It was a vision to behold but I sensed he didn't love it as much as he has hoped. He noted the nest was a bit difficult to eat with a fork and knife. Everything was beautifully presented, and the coffee was lovely. Double shot on the espresso drinks standard, as it should be! The atmosphere was very nice. Couple of tables out front perfect for a sunny day and plenty of tables indoors. It's a small place but it's a bit out of the way and we didn't have to wait more than a few minutes to sit. So many interesting options to choose from - I can't wait to go back and try the banana rice with salted coconut cream and lychees! Sounds incredible!! Bit of a splurge at $17 average price per item, but felt like good value for the artistry and interesting flavors you get. Bravo!

HUGE fan! What a great addition to an otherwise relatively quiet neighbourhood…read more What I love about L'oeuf is that it's a little bit different, without trying too hard. For example, the menu has all the usual brunch items - eggs, mushroom, salmon etc- but they are served with a creative twist and presented beautifully. 'The Russian', which I ordered, was essentially salmon and cream cheese w toast but they served the salmon as a tartare with dill and the cream cheese was full of herbs. Combine this on the lightly seeded toast with a squeeze of lemon juice and some avo and I was in heaven. The décor is a little bit different. They've used dark wood and loads of dark, leafy greenery and with a big Persian rug taking centre stage in the middle of the floor. I loved it but I will admit, it did was rather dark inside despite being gloriously sunny out! I'm normally more of a savoury kid at breakfast but having seen some of the sweet dishes come out of the kitchen i'm already looking for an excuse to head back here ASAP!

Sweet-tooths unite and head to Lick!…read more An ice cream and sweet shop now that is heaven on a plate for people who love sugary treats. A word of caution to take it all in moderation of course. Speaking of moderation, how is this possible with the yummy range of ice cream flavours on offer! This is really an ice cream parlour so of course they do classic shakes like lime or chocolate to the decadent premium shakes like rocky road or pineapple lump - warning may be addictive! Plus they do cream soda floats. They have lots of lollies and sweets as the shop name suggests. My American is going to just love their US specialty candy like Twinkies, Wonka Theatre Boxes and Pop-Tarts. Don't worry if you are dairy free, gluten free or want vegetarian sweets because this store even has a range of items in these categories. Check out their online store.
