Nothing flash, but a friendly welcoming environment. There is a good selection of vegetarian options and they were willing to respond positively to reasonable requests. We had the French Toast and eggs benedict.. Both were delicious and both provided generous portions setting us up nicely for a walk in the nearby Waitākere ranges. I was kind of miffed I did not see the tofu and avocado benedict option...next time.

Nocky Takeaway, better known to faithful locals as Nocky's, is a takeaway shop selling small lunch…read moremeals of chicken and chips to massive plates of wel, whatever you want. They're a mix of fish and chips and Chinese food by the plate load, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The best part about Nocky's and inarguably the most popular, is their chicken nibbles. You just can't go wrong and I know very few people (with bad taste) that don't enjoy these. They are perfectly fried and cooked every time, and you can buy 40 or 100 at a time. Those chicken nibbles are a great feature for any shared lunch and will disappear before you know it. Needless to say they taste awesome! I love the pineapple fritters here, which is what I look for in every takeaway shop, and they do another awesome dish- pineapple and cashew nuts with combination meat (but you can pick just one meat if you prefer), a favourite of mine if I'm on my own. The staff here work pretty fast and even when its busy the wait isn't too long- they definitely know how to feed a crowd. The prices here are reasonable whether you're buying food for one or twenty, and they always give you a good deal if you're buying a lot. I've seen a couple of Warriors players here on weekends too grabbing food (I won't name drop!), so that's got to be some kind of compliment to this place!

Common as common can be. Nothing wrong with my chicken burger, but it also was nothing special…read more This BurgerFuel location is on a busy Customs Street, and can be crowded during lunch. We gave it a try, as it seemed pretty popular here. All the tables were pretty much occupied. The tables were small and wooden with little stools to sit on. I ordered the Burnout ($12.70): This consisted of a char-grilled chicken breast with bacon, lettuce, avocado, mustard, aioli sauce, and a stilton sauce. The breast was kinda thin, but the bun was pretty huge. It was a soft sesame seed bun that actually held up quite well. It did get kind of messy halfway through eating it, but we were told by one of the workers about how this little cardboarthing called the Doofer. This doofer was an intuitive piece of cardboard that you fold up, and it cradles your burger. Pretty cool, as it totally helped out. No issues with service. The girl behind the counter was humorous and cordial. She was even the one that explained how a doofer is used. Would I come back? Yes, probably just to try a different burger. But the next time I've got that "burger craving", I probably won't be thinking about this place in particular.

As somewhat a fish and chip connoisseur (I've definitely reviewed a few of them), I can say they do seriously good fish and chips. I'm pretty sure I visited it twice in a week once. So they are right when they say "One visit and you'll be hooked". There is so much more than fish and chips here too, with delicious looking salads, fish cakes, gourmet burgers, even ready made meals like seafood chowder are available. I remember there were some really recent magazines available to look at while waiting for your order too. Once you've got your order, why not eat it down at the beach? It'd be rude not to!

The menu is not extensive but provides a good range of classic burger and those with a twist. All sorts of chips, curly fries and condiments. I went for the classic beef and cheese as I cannot imagine a burger without cheese. My boyfriend got the special which was free-range chicken, crumbed courgette and homemade hummus. I definitely lucked out - the foccacia bun was a nice touch but my pattie was paper thin, grey and dry as bone. Nothing to report on the salad or sauces all pretty predictable. Ollie's burger was really really good, the chicken tenderloins were juicy and the crumbed courgette crispy and delicious - the feta worked perfectly too. Not sure i'll come here that often, burgers these days have a lot to go by and The Flaming Onion needs to step up to the mark.
