Riddell Takeaway is quite the institution for the local school kids every day after school or…read moreduring lunch for the 7th formers, providing kids with healthy and nutritious burgers, chips and deep fried Moro bars. Okay, obviously not healthy or nutritious in any sense of the words, but the deep fried Moro bar is fricken fantastic, even though you can feel your heart having palpitations mid-consumption. Definitely not a place to go to every day of the week, but if you don't feel like cooking on a Friday and want something quick, cheap and tasty then Riddell Takeaway do a pretty good job of all the standard Kiwi takeaway options.

For tasty, unfailing fish n chips at a reasonable price, this shop is ideal. My favourite is the BBQ Bacon burger, with hefty lashings of BBQ sauce, bacon and beetroot - must haves for a solid, filling burger. The chips were a favourite after school snack, with $2 getting a can of drink and a decent scoop. Other favourites include the crab sticks, squid rings, potato fritters, and the classic hot dog with sauce in a bag. If only they brought the street figher arcade game back.

But it just didn't really hit the spot in terms of taste. The Satay Chicken on veg was a bit tasteless, and was lacking enough satay sauce to actually make it satay chicken. The fish & chips side of things is alright though, if that's what you're looking for.

While not the most amazing food, the reliability is great, with this my pick for local Chinese. The Sweet N Sour Pork is a personal favourite, complemented well with wontons. The chicken chow mein is another must get, with traditional Chinese dishes fulfilling the rest of the menu. Ordering soft, crispy noodles to be cooked amongst this dish can also prove addictive for some. Parking is super easy, located on the street right outside. Meals can be rung through before and picked up, as with most other takeaway places.

I like the St. Johns branch because it is close to my house and you don't have to wait in line for ages compared to the Queen Street branch. My favourite burger would have to be 'The Famous Star' - it's a safe choice, or if I want to go all out, then I'll order the 'Guacamole Bacon Thickburger' - who doesn't love guacamole or bacon in a burger?!?! The burgers are delicious and taste different to McDonald's and Burger King (better). At the St. John's branch, you can also add jalapeños to your burger, which you can't do at other branches. I also love their 'Chilli Cheese Fries' - haven't tasted anything like them before! Melted cheese and chilli mince on top of fries - what's not to like! Also, if you're into thickshakes, try one next time you're at Carl's Jnr - creamy and delicious!

Khana is the nearest Indian takeaway to where I live, and I have to say I'm pretty glad for it…read more Although they don't compete with some of the 10 dollar main specials that some of the other local Indian restaurants in the area offer during weekdays, their standard meal price is pretty inexpensive, so you could nab a vege curry for 13 or one with meat for 15. Whats also nice about this place is their clear ethical stance that they have, as they use environmentally sustainable packaging and cleaning products where they can and each year they support a local community organisation or event. Whenever I have been, service has always been pretty efficient and the curry is ready when they say it will be - however if its not, its generally not a long wait and there are a variety of magazines provided to take a look at whilst waiting.

The food is delicious, the korma and malai kofta are my favorites. The portions are quite large and I normally end up eating curry for breakfast.
