It is surprising that this dark, and slightly dingy looking, fruit and vegetable store can give…read moresuch bargains. I left this Asian shop with a bag of tomatoes and two decent sized and healthy looking eggplant for only $3.00. We arrived just as it was opening, so unfortunately trays of fruit were still being brought out into the store and I was not able to take full advantage of the bargains. Having said that, not everything was cheaper than usual, just a few things like the eggplant. Avocados were still $2. Aside from fruit and vegetables, there was a wide variety of Asian noodle, spices, drinks, herring, and other ethnic foods not normally found in supermarkets. Additionally there were your normal fresh up juices etc in the fridge. Great shop when you just need to pick up a few fresh items.

Really nice shop and has a great variety of great priced fruits and veges. I always go there on my…read morelunch time to treat myself to something :)

For 12 years I was happy to buy American food and things like toothpaste with peroxide and baking…read moresoda not otherwise available in NZ from Martha's. During those 12 years one of the owners frequently went to America to buy the stock. And for many years they got special orders for me. But ever since the pandemic they have lost the plot. They refused to accept special orders and their shelves rarely offer me what I want. I have repeatedly asked them to figure out a new method of getting their supplies which they refuse to do. How they stay in business is a mystery without desirable stuff to buy. They're old and no longer seem to give a damn. I find it remarkable that they stay in business. Not worth the trip.

Ever have the feeling of giddiness as an adult, that makes you say 'get ahold of yourself now?' But…read moreyou can't and your smile is ear to ear. Well that's what Martha's Backyard did to me. I was instantly hit with Americana as the doors spread open for me. No need to trouble yourself with pushing a door American, here let me automatically open for you. Star! Since the owner was clearly using her consumer... ahem marketing skills, the first sight upon entering was a stock pile of Stars & Stripes regalia. All that was needed was the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background. Independence Day is only a few days away, so stock up. Martha's Backyard which of course is a play on words, (think Martha's Vineyard) has many American culinary favorites from candies, seasonings, sauces, cereals, beverages and snacks. I walked out with Cholula, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, a pack of Lawry's Taco seasoning, mini Butterfingers and 2 boxes of Cap'N Crunch cereal for under $40.00. Not a bad price for imported happiness.

A nicely presented clean dine in & takeaway restaurant on Otahuhu's main road…read more Secret Thai Garden has a great selection of very tasty looking dishes to choose from. I opted for Pad Thai which was very nice - just the right combination of the ingredients which were all very fresh & tasty. The serving was a decent size & I had enough leftover for lunch the next day - definitely priced fairly/affordably. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back to try more yummy Thai cuisine again soon!!

Was there on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed. Popular place for big groups. Was not disappointed in the food. I did find the service slow as they did not have a lot of staff waiting and our waitress we had to wave down to get more rice. They have an upstairs where you can a function. Very spacious in the main dining area. Definitely come back again with a big group.

If you like food that bursts into flame, but with an eastern flare, this is the restaurant. I had…read moremy graduation dinner here, and they have the best tables for groups to sit in a large circle. This makes it really easy to share many plates of delectable food. Watching the petite asian women bring out large flaming dishes is quite a sight to see, and a popular choice amongst those out in East Auckland. The service is always excellent and I've never had a nasty dish. The staff all dress as though they are in Thailand, and the decor reflects that traditional flavour well. The parking isn't so hot, because it can get really busy in this area. Best find one early!
