Haha I'm happy to offer up some good cheaper options too!

@jc That's what I thought. Indigo's not bad although I haven't been since its makeover. Rasoi's about as far away from yr UK examples as you can get but it does do some decent food.
I'm lucky enough to have a couple of decent of school Indian restaurants in my neighbourhood. Occasionally the food disappoints but its usually reliable, the beers always cold and the décor is chintzy as fuck.

Welfare BBQ in Highland Park has probably the best cantonese BBQ duck I've eaten from a BBQ shop in AK. The crispy pork and soya chicken is great too. Two meat combo with rice for about $12
Maruten Ramen, Mt Roskill. It's where the expat Japs go!! My favourite is the Tsukymen with cold thick noodles
Try It Out Vietnamese. The mother ship is in Otahuhu, they have a branch in Pakuranga, great pho
Empress Garden, Herne Bay. Terrible service, the other food is average. But the Peking duck is nek level, dollar for dollar probably the best in town
Coco's Cantina. K Road. Nice casual contemporary Italian fare

Fuck is that Empress Garden on the corner if Herne Bay Rd and Jervois?
I lived just around the corner 35 years ago and used to get takeaways there. I’d say it had been there a long time before that too. -

If the service is good, it's not authentic. Nothing better than the grumpy ladies pushing the trolleys at yum cha!

And dirty too. Means they spend less time on cleaning and more time on making the food tasty

@nzzp so do you do the Holy Cluck?
Brioche Bun or on Waffles triggers me
Hatiest!! Fucking Hatiest!! Brioche is the devil. As someone said, ‘ meat wrapped in cake’ just doesn’t work
@JC if you feel like something a bit different and with a great bar, Xoong in Mt Eden is excellent. So is Hello Beasty. Both similar styles.
French Cafe never fails either.
If you’re trying too woo true-love then lunch picnic in the olive grove at Bracu works so well!! They provide in a classic wicker basket with a good bottle of champagne too.

@hooroo Thanks for the tips. Went to Hello Beasty over summer. Loved it. Their Heart and Seoul cocktail was a highlight.
Not looking to woo anybody though, just when I’m up there for work some friends’ place let me stay at their place instead of a hotel so I shout them dinner. Everybody wins.
Baduzzi was good by the way.

We will try that next time I’m up that way. Cheers
