A local gem, Manthana Thai Cuisine is the best Thai food I have ever had! Located in West Harbour,…read moreManthana can be easily missed or ignored due to its location in a suburb but I can assure you that the service and the food is out of this world. I went to Manthana for dinner with my boyfriend on a quiet Wednesday night, we sat at a table with a rose, candles and the restaurant's lighting was dimmed to create a romantic ambiance. I found myself getting in touch with my romantic side and the music in the background heightened those senses! When our meals arrived, the portions of both our meals were big enough for the both of us to share. The ingredients were fresh and I was delighted that the pineapple in my sweet and sour fish was freshly cut and not from a can. Alex is an excellent host and throughout the evening we where made to feel at home, although it was just my boyfriend and I in the restaurant there was no pressure or hurry for us to go home.

The Massey/West Harbour area of Auckland is seriously lacking good restaurants so it was quite…read moreexciting to stumble across Manthana. Nestled within a small block which includes takeaway bars and dairies, the restaurant itself is inviting with a warm ambience. We've had dinner here about three times now and each time we've really enjoyed it. The last time we went we ordered the Green Chicken Curry, Red Duck Curry and Pad Cashew Nuts shared between three. All were generously-sized and delicious. This was followed by an award-winning desert which my partner, who never eat deserts according to him, ate half of. Fortunately for him the mains were sized such that I couldn't have eaten an entire desert on my own anyway. The menu is extensive with the mains modestly priced between $17 and $20. The seafood mains tend to cost a little more. We've never ordered entrees here so I can't comment on these. The only downsides were that the mains were delivered to our table within what seemed like minutes of having our order taken which left little time to linger over our pre-dinner drinks. Also, the wine menu is fairly limited in terms of choice. This restaurant was a great find which I'm definitely going to experience again

A little surprised about some of the negative reviews (which did not seem to have much in the way…read moreof negative comments). I thought this was one of the better Thai meals we have had, much better than our local Thai restaurant of choice (chosen largely by convenient location). Located in a strip mall off the well travelled Highway 16, it is not the fanciest restaurant you will ever eat at but the food was good, I'll say the service was good despite one glaring mistake, and prices were very fair. I had the black pepper stir fry with tofu, partner had peanut sauce stir fry. You are asked you desired spiciness; both were perfectly seasoned with the desired heat. The menu clearly identifies vegan stir fry's, another positive. For our simple order the food was delivered promptly and it was hot. The glaring mistake? I ordered a beer with the meal which never arrived, and there was no opportunity to address this until the food arrived, at which point I was fine not having it. Yes, we would return.

The wait staff are beautifully dressed, and there is a comfortable bar, should you need to wait for a table.

We found Sweet Chilli after taking an Uber to the Thai restaurant 3 doors down; however, it was closed... which thankfully led us here. The service was absolutely impeccable, with sweet touches like the napkins being folded into origami crowns. The dishes are full of abundant fresh ingredients. I especially love the veggies; so many of them and prepared so they still have a crispness, and burst with flavor. The use of spices brought out perfection in every bite. I ordered a beer and was thrilled to see it came with a frosty glass. The owner is very friendly, and responsive. He cheerfully answered all my kids questions, even the somewhat silly. The restaurant is sparkling clean, including the restrooms. The air conditioning is just right. I can't recommend Sweet Chilli Thai enough! 2025 #23

I stumbled across this lovely cafe only because I used to work in the area, and one lunch time popped in for a meal with my partner. Although the location is not the best, the food and service makes up for it I believe. Joy's is a family owned and run cafe, and you do come here for the amazing Thai food, my favourites are the red or green curry with seafood, and the Pad Thai which is perfection. If you blinked driving up to the intersection just around the corner you would really just miss this gem, so I am glad that I got to experience some tasty Thai food in the Pt Chevalier/Mt Albert zone. A nicely decorated comfy interior with lots of booths and tables, or if it's a sunny day, do like I did and enjoy the outdoor seating.
