The most recent time I went I had the fish of the day and my friend had a pizza and unfortunately I was not very impressed with the food. The previous times I have eaten here and had tried several of the pasta dishes I was not disappointed but also was not raving about it afterwards. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea as every time I have gone here, it is always busy with the locals. Although the ambiance was great, the wine was good and service prompt, I think next time I would face the drive into town for something else

Who would have known this sensational restaurant was located in the middle of the suburban areas,…read moreThe Gardens. Absolutely fantastic Italian! I came here the other night for the first time after having heard many great things; I was not disappointed. We started our dining experience with some garlic bread, YUM! It was delicious. Very large, it comes out like a pizza, with 8 substantial size slices. Next we shared some fabulous calamari, cooked to perfection; and deep friend camembert, AMAZING! Our mains did not fail to live up to our starter and entrees. The mains were massive meals that all came with potatoes and veges. This restaurant has a wonderful feel about it. The staff are incredibly accommodating and really want to make sure you're getting the dining experience you deserve. I have to rate this place a solid 5 out of 5! I will certainly be coming back to try the pastas, pizzas and desserts!!

I'm not sure if this place is still in business after covid, but I visited precovid. We decided to…read moresplurge because it was our last night in town and there weren't a ton of options that were open near here. I got the seafood risotto and it was...ok...maybe a bit off..... Well, let's just say I experienced the seafood a second time later that night. Definitely not the way you want to end a trip. I had sent them a message about this right away, because I wouldn't want anyone else to get sick from their food and they offered me another meal, which was nice, but I was leaving in the morning. Anyway, not the best experience, but the location and view were nice.

I've been here for dinner before and it was really good! Great taste, presentation and overall the…read moreexperience was good... So i decided to buy a grabone for these guys when they were available and boy was i disappointed.... a grabone deal does not mean you have to lower your standards... use it to promote your restaurant and get them to come again after... It was a $30 grabone voucher that includes a weekend brunch for two... our meals were SO small and looked horrible AND taste average. We ordered one sausage crepe and one baked eggs. The sausage crepe serving was so small (for an original price of $19) and the crepe was drying out and burnt around the edges... at least there was flavour in this one... the baked eggs was the worst baked eggs i have ever tasted.... it was all sweet capsicums (or sweet peppers) and nothing else. you could hardly taste the eggs. Also nothing to dip into the runny eggs.. no bread ... nothing. it looked plain and boring... and tasted even worse. What is the point of putting yourselves on grabone if the outcome will be to lose customers. Grabone should be an opportunity to introduce yourselves to new customers and convince them to return again.... I know they can do some amazing things with food and service but a grabone voucher does not mean you should eliminate all that to earn more money... We decided to go to another cafe after as we were still hungry...

Shortly after they moved they enthusiastically took me to the Turkish restaurant they'd discovered, to have the delicious, exotic Turkish food. What they meant was now that they lived in a proper suburb, they'd found a kebab shop. And as exciting as it was for them, it's a kebab shop. A good kebab shop, with good kebabs (both wrapped and on rice), and apparently if you dine in there's a wine list which suggests a certain level of class that isn't the norm. But as far as the food goes, if you've ever had a kebab before, this is a good version of that. About as exotic as bolognese.

The food is great and their hummus dip is always a good start: it comes with creamy spiced hummus and soft pita, as well as a drizzling of tomato sauce and greek yogurt. The kebab bread is always cooked fresh, never too chewy. Eat in or take away, the quality of the food is always fantastic and the salads are always fresh. Coffee leaves something to be desired, but I'll forgive them for that. Don't go expecting fine dining food - keep in mind that it IS just a kebab shop, and that's what you're getting. A kebab.

But seriously - who does that in Pukekohe? This isn't anywhere close to the city where it's pretty much expected now. Luckily we were able to be seated right away - but It was directly opposite the door and whenever it was opened and closed a big gust of cold wind came past us. Not to be ungrateful because I would have to say at least five groups of people were turned away, who like me thought they could just turn up and expect a table. Clearly a very popular place to come! Our waitress was warm and welcoming and was easily able to provide us with recommendations for what to get depending on our appetite. I decided to stick with a classic steak, with onion crisps and béarnaise sauce washed down with a nice glass of red wine! I was told it was pretty decent and not to worry about getting an entrée. When the main arrived, I was not left disappointed by not ordering the entree, the main itself is a whole meal. I found the steak to be cooked quite nicely, medium rare. The béarnaise sauce suited the steak excellently... the only let down was the onion crisps, I say crisps because according to their menu it's suppose to be onion rings... but these were cooked well past that stage. Some tasted nice other tasted like burnt crisps you get at the bottom of a roast. Not entirely a bad thing! Even though the place was obviously busy it didn't feel like we were being pressured to hurry up and leave so they could turn the table over for the next group. The wait for our food was fairly average for the size and for the crowd, a busy place means a busy kitchen 35 mins - 45min. There are three places in Pukekohe that now specialise in Steaks. I'm having a really hard time to differentiate them. Each have their own sense of style and do the basics well, which is all a steak lover really wants. For this reason.. I'm calling it a tie for the time being. I am happy to rate them as follows; Food 4 / 5 - Shame about the over done onion crisps (rings) Service 4 / 5 - Warm, friendly and accommodating Price $33.00 - In line for what you get compared to other places Atmosphere 4/ 5 - Popular by nature Overall - 4 /5 - Book early and avoid the table by the door!
