    Chicken Musakhkhan
    Milly H.

    I really love middle eastern food, i've been to Turkey and spent time in Istanbul and fell in love with the freshness, fragrance and flavours. The problem with Middle Eastern in NZ is that it's too westernised, so I never eat it, ridiculously huge servings of Shawarma's and Kebabs packed full of averagely cooked fatty meat, soggy salad and too many sticky sweet sauces. I was so excited to hear about this place and it's authentic dishes and flavours. The actual place is very fast-food looking and not much atmosphere but the food is truly delicious. Smaller servings than your average. The Kooba (meat filled dumplings) with a crusty exterior were excellent and came with a yummy garlic yoghurt dressing, the hummus was thick and and lemony that smooth consistency that's impossible to find. The main events were the Chicken Musakhkhan and the Lamb Shawarma - both were alot smaller than most places but so much more flavour and salad on the side which I really liked. The meat in both were cooked to order and really delicious. The owner was really lovely and recommended we try the typical non-alcoholic beer that was peach and apple flavoured - so so so sweet but seemed to go really well with our food. I highly recommend you try this place ASAP!

    A veggie plate, for $18 it's not a cheap eats to me. Tasted ok

    I think it's ok. I like the service. Environment is quite simple. Food was not as good as I expected but tasted alright. I give 4 star as it's quite authentic and well prepared I can taste the fresh of the ingredients. But wil I come again maybe not otherwise I will give 5 star. If you want try something interesting come here. But it's not cheap at all although it's rated best cheap food. I spent 18 for a simple veggie meal can only fill one person.

The phone call was only slightly easier; the background noise of kitchen fans was fairly defeaning to both parties but we got there in the end after a few comedic moments. KT Fried Chicken for him and Vege Soup for me, available to pick up five minutes. Promising. The menu here is major, covering Japanese, Singaporean, Thai, Chinese - you name it. Our food was steaming fresh but oddly without flavour. Once I dumped dried chilli and soy sauce all over mine it was actually delicious but sadly the KT Chicken was a fail. I think it was maybe a case of ordering the wrong thing as those fat sticky rice noodles really aren't to everyone's taste. The man that runs Yes Noodles is lovely, the place is sparkling and the food has so much potential. I think what this place needs is more garlic, ginger and chilli, and onions would be a plan too. We will give it another go and try different dishes because the pick your own ingredients noodlebox thing is such a great idea; if we can just find the right dishes, we're onto a winner.

    Worst service ever. The server Mark was very rude and impolite. It started when he asked our…read moregroup to hurry up to give our orders. I asked him if he was in a hurry. He said the restaurant was busy when only a few tables were occupied. He started getting and listing our orders. We are 14 in the group. He placed the utensils in one table and expected us to distribute it by ourselves. Same with the pitcher of water and glasses. We have to pour it our selves. Then our orders came. In the middle of our meal, he came with extra fish and burgers when all our orders were received. He returned the extra orders which he overbooked. During check out, we paid by group and by what each group ordered. When the last group was paying, he said who is going to pay for the extra fish that was ordered. We told him we ordered exactly what we want and will only pay what we ordered. He started raising his voice. I asked him to show the list he made when we were ordering only then we can determine who made a mistake. He cannot produce the list, so we told him we will only pay what we ordered. This guy is ruining the image of Dennis Restaurant. Maybe he thinks that we look asian and he can bully us around. Get rid of this guy!

Not all the waitresses were friendly, like they didn't want to be there. NewLynn used to be much better than this, my family and friends have enjoyed Dennys for decades. the staff are usually very welcoming. what has changed? First time I asked my wife not to leave a tip. Upside is the dessert recommended by the first waitress was very nice.
