Yet again another bbq place we had seen always busy so thought maybe time to check it out. We went…read morein quite early so was quiet but when we left had picked up and could see it was on the way to being busy. Is a small place inside but had a nice atmosphere. There is nothing flash about the decor , just simple. The staff are pleasant to deal with, give quick good service and the menu is of a good selection...not as big as some places but still okay. We ordered the lamb skewer, potato salad , sweet corn , fish , chicken skin , chinese sausage and for a drink I had a watermelon milk tea which was so so delicious!!! . All the food tasted good and came out pretty quickly after ordering. Overall a decent simple place to go out for some bbq bites at night.

Absolutely loved my experience. Not only was the food exceptional, but so was the staff. Everyone…read morewas so welcoming and made my family and I feel comfortable. It was a very cozy, nice vibe. If I ever come back to New Zealand, I am 110% coming back to this restaurant.

Delicious pizzas, great wings, attentive staff and a really good mix of quality beers…read more We've gone back a few times since our first visit and would recommend it to anyone looking to grab a drink and some good pub fare.

Unfortunately a very awful experience. So incredibly Frustrating. Placed a phone order for 2 sides…read more(Chips and Onion rings ONLY - No meat....) at 6PM. Battled for about 5 minutes with the person on the phone to understand our order. Got there and waited an hour. AN HOUR for side dishes? My daughter voiced her frustration about this to the lady and got an extremely rude response in return. We know the waiting time is nobodies but the chefs business, but to get a disgustingly rude response after already having to wait an hour is just not acceptable. Saddened by the service as we enjoy their food, but unsure whether we will support them again due to this. Something clearly went wrong there tonight and a simple kind response would have sufficed. Purely unacceptable for a place that isn't cheap to start with!

Let me just start by saying that this place seriously expensive for a takeaway place. Portion sizes…read moreare quite big, but you paying sit down restaurant prices. Quality is very average too. The salad on my burger was all wilted and the tomato was sloppy. Not good.

This restaurant has a wonderful menu that includes many deli favorites. I was torn between the…read morejackfruit barbecue ribs and the croque monsieur. The barbecue jackfruit plate one, and it $22 was basically enough food for two people. The jackfruit barbecue ribs were incredible: I've never ordered a jackfruit dish before and this was delicious with fantastic barbecue sauce that was tangy but not too sweet and had lots of smoky depth. The corn fritters for like dumplings and very tasty. The garlic bread was just like I would make it home and the rest of vegetable salad was very delicious. They do not have decaf coffee since they only have one coffee grinder - But I tried a couple of chicory as a flat white with coconut milk and was very pleased with the flavor and the drink it's self. The owner of the restaurant was raised on a dairy farm! She and I talked about all the problems that dairy farms and people are causing to the environment generally and especially in New Zealand with use of chemicals and the runoff from agriculture. Peace begins on the plate - and a full belly begins at Kaiaroha!

Definitely a high class vegan joint. The emphasis here is more on savory (sorry, savoury) items…read morerather than more sweet bakery items like we have in the United States. Still, comparisons with Timeless Coffee (Oakland, CA) and The Butcher's Son (Berkeley CA, not the one in Auckland) are apt. On my first visit I had a classic kiwi item, which is hard to find in the US, a sausage roll and second visit cheesecake. My only complaint is that it probably could have been half the size! The owner was super friendly and we exchanged notes on vegan biz here and in the States. Finally, the coffee was excellent and more like my American coffee expectations with a bolder flavor. Must stop for any vegan in Auckland.
