Calendula Cottage

Reviewed By vanfamAuckland - Auckland

This is our favourite local eatery. My husband and i have brunch here regularly and we are great fans of the beautifully presented, fresh and delicious food. Favourites are the eggs benedict, mushrooms, veggie stack and the bacon and eggs. The hot chocolate is lovely! When we learned it had changed hands, we returned after about a 3 month absence really hoping nothing would change...and it hasn't. Same good service, high quality food, and the usual fabulous cakes and desserts in the cabinet. Even the menus are still the same - so no price increase, no addtions or deletions to the choices they offer. The Gardens are still pretty and the vibe is unchanged. Keep it up guys, and you will have our undying loyalty.

Nicks Cafe

The cafes aim is to provide the best possible quality available locally, serve it with the type of hospitality you'd expect from a small town local haunt. Generous portions, Fresh ingredients & engaging service are the standards I i strive for.

We had a wonderful breakfast here after a very wet and cold netball game! We had the kids breakfast and $8 pancakes and a savoury muffin. My youngest daughter said the pancakes were the best she had ever had! They were yummy as I managed to try a bit as the portions were very large. The breakfast was yummy with a great poached egg and very nice bacon and toast. Staff were very friendly, it was busy but they made us aware there would be a wait for breakfast which was very considerate.

B's Kitchen

B's Kitchen was created by Belinda Willcox in 2008. On September 1st 2014 Belinda SOLD the shop to a very dedicated and talented young lady called Emma Huang who has years of experience in the industry and cant wait to share her love of the cafe world with everyone she can. Everything is made fresh in our Kitchen and all our food is made with the best ingredients. No shortcuts are made so you can be sure your paying for quality. Coffee's always been a big deal. These days the hunting down of the quintessential coffee is a quest that drives some of us and becomes the meaning of life that's why we are proud to use Orb 101 which has a rich and full aroma. A full smooth espresso thick with ripe fruit and dark cocoa notes finished with a spicy zing. This coffee has full body characteristics that are highlighted in milk beverages. Its a 100% Arabica blend. And its the best coffee in town! We strive to give you a Delicious and enjoyable experience everytime and look forward to seeing you here soon.

Plenty of other better cafes in Waiuku. The drinks here taste very weak. I've tried hot and cold drinks. Minimal choice of food in cabinet too. I have been here twice hoping things would improve but no such luck.

Attended restaurant today which was not crowded. After being seated and given menus, 20 mins later we had to seek out staff and ask them to take our order. Pork ribs were reheated and cooler on inside than out. We needed to order side dishes as meal came with only the ribs and a spoonful of coleslaw.
Seafood chowder, consisted of 1 mussel, 1 prawn, & 2 scallops. . Price of meals was at the top end, when quality and quantity at the lower. I live local and have had many an enjoyable visit previously. I will not be returning.

Tandoor Indian Restaurant

Situated at the starting point of Waiuku, Tandoor Indian Restaurant offers a unique dining experience quite unlike any other. Along with a lovely dining room that is as beautiful as the surrounding community. Our trained culinary staff elevates Indian cuisine to new and exciting heights, maintaining contemporary touches while adding signature flare to your favorite dishes.

Reviewed By KatyxDan - Auckland Central, New Zealand

On a "really can't be bothered cooking" night we decided to order Indian take-out and thought we would try Tandoor and were pretty happy to find we could order online which became even more exciting when we realised we could get it delivered AND got 20% off as it was our first order. Brilliant. Totally worth it, curries were all delicious and of reasonable size, big naan breads and delivered at no extra charge. We have since ordered a second time and was just as good as the first time. Definitely recommend to anyone with a curry craving in Waiuku.

The Starboard Side Bistro

Reviewed By Patrick L - Melbourne, Australia

Had a great meal here at the Starboard Side Bistro. The nautical theme permeates through the Bistro and gives us a nice beachy feel. Service was good as was the meals served. There were not too many patrons but then we are early for dinner.
