Reviews of Aubergine Restaurants

K. S.

Had a great experience. The restaurant it’s self is beautiful, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the food was absolutely delicious and the value for money was well worth it. 100% will be back 👍🏼

T. B.

Lovely restaurant with delicious food that is reasonably prices. The writing staff are friendly and attentive. We were a large group but we did not wait very long for our drinks or food.

J. P.

If you use first table be warned each diner needs to buy a drink. They use the same table size for 2 - 4 people, so for 4 people it's quite cramp. The food was quite good but service wasn't the best. Got attitude for requesting to move table and another waiter forgot our request. Food takes very long to arrive, maybe 40 minutes.

M.

First visit and won't be the last. They had a lunch special for $22 entree and main with great selection to choose from. Had the lamb and was one of the best I have had in the last 5 years, so moist and tender. Tried the chicken as well and was great. Beautiful food, great potion size. DESERTS. Finally a larver cake that was soft goowy and delicious..... overall fantastic food, service and lovely restaurant. Will definitely return soon.

d. b.

Absolutely fantastic, food delivered hot at the table, staff excellent, manager as all restaurants managers should do came and spoke to our table. For me and my partner the orange sorbets was to sweet. The ambience is perfect. Thanks Aubergine for a lovely dining experience

B.

Good environment, friendly staff. The food was tasty and good sized portions. Only downside was unable to use entertainment book voucher when paying for it due to ordering from the express lunch menu.

T. L.

I normally write reviews for five stars or one stars. Yesterday I went there for dinner to celebrate my birthday. I have been to Aubergine before back when there was one in Albany or Apollo area I think. I am very impressed with the eye fillet. The vinegar and the pumpkin on the sides are a perfect combination. It balances the flavour very well, give you the kick of the sourness and then the natural sweetness of the pumpkin calms things down. The tomato soup is very good too. I love the presentation with the love heart.

A. K. C.

It was wonderful experience, I tried vegiterian moussaka it was fabulous. Only suggestion is if the moussaka is prepared for meat and vegiterian is without meat the salt level is little extra, apart from that everything is fantastic. The starters are amazing, ambience is wonderful and had a great time.

D.

Quiet when we arrived at midday but busy when we left at 2pm. Nice decor and calm atmosphere. We had the lunch special, two kinds of garlic bread, chicken filo and lamb with pilaf. Very tasty washed down with a reasonably priced glass of sav blanc. Friendly efficient server, Madelene from Italy. Deserves its great reputation.

L. L.

In one word: Amazing! Great food and even better service! They accommodated for me and my 20 guest. We had a wonderful time, such tasty food and kindness from all the staff. Thank you all!

E.

I just want to say a huge thankyou for the incredible delicious food, amazing cocktails and fantastic service! It was a lovely way to end 2021 and welcome in the new year! Will definatly be back!

O. S.

Absolutely fantastic food. I had the lamb and it was awesome. It felt somewhat pricey but in the end worth it. True quality.

D. O.

We enjoyed our meal at Aubergine. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was overall good and worth the money, although the steak was a bit tough. We will be back.

J. B.

We had a lunch there. They have $22 special lunch menu which you can have 1 starter and 1 main. I had soup for my starter. It was clear tomato soup. It was ok. For the main, I had lamb. It was ok too. I would choose something different next time. Average food. Staff were there was very nice and friendly.

J. T.

It's been 2.5 years since I was overseas (Turkey), and experienced a hospo dining experience like this. Your food was outstanding, and we thank you, but what set you apart and created an incredible experience for us was your team. From the moment we entered the door and were greated by your host, to the two exceptional young ladies who served us this evening, I can only say you are one of the few restaurants in NZ who take hospo seriously and understand it's meaning. Thank you for an amazing experience 🙏

A. A.

The food is cheap for it's quality and fills you right up. Has a lovely environment, not too busy or loud. Waitresses are fantastic and don't constantly harass you about if you're ready to order etc. Overall and a wonderful mid range place to eat.

M. S.

Very good. Great atmosphere. Did not have to wait long for food and drinks. Delicious food. Will go again.

L. M.

Service: 1/5 We had to wait 1/2 hour for the starters of bread, and 1 1/2 hours for the main course. I'd recommend the soup for starters, as the bread is store bought and tastes pretty average. Food: 4.5/5 The mains especially were really good, and decent sizes. I ordered the seafood pasta, the pasta was clearly not homemade but still ok. Seafood was fresh and sauce was good too. The cheesecake was excellent (was a mocha one), a bit like a mousse in that the consistency was nice and light, not too sweet and not too little sugar either. The berries were clearly frozen.

C. P.

This place was awesome. The staff were friendly. Food was really good. Dessert was amazing (best part of the night).. loved it.

S. Y.

I decided to try out the two course special with my Dad. He got the fish and I got the lamb. My only gripe is that the portion was a bit small but we were both impressed with the cooking. Flavors were great, as was the service.

P. P. -. G. A. P. R.

A lunch time favourite pleasing on the eye restaurant. Food is beautifully presented. Perfect balance of meat and salads that compliment each other. Good lunch deals for nearby business employees.

G. H.

This is the $22 menu as shown below. The Caramelised onion bread as a starter was excellent & I enjoyed the Smoked salmon

C. T.

Wow! Over in Takapuna and found what we thought could be a hidden gem! Food was fresh and delicious, however soon filled up with happy faces, obviously the locals know it well. My Tarakihi was cooked to perfection and service was prompt and friendly, top marks, we will be back, thanks.

L. Y.

Good setting/ environment, the foods were delicious and cocktails good too. $49 for a 3 course meal is a pretty good deal!

D.

Really loved the atmosphere in this place. It was warm and cozy during a cold autumn night. We made a reservation for three here and got a set menu. They had $5.00 alcoholic beverages which I thought was quite pleasant. It's nice to dine at a place where the drinks aren't more expensive than the food. The set menu had a lot of different options, and it included a starter, main and dessert of your choice, all for $39.00 which was a pretty good deal. The food was delicious, and I would really recommend checking this place out.

p. r.

This is one of the best restaurants on the north. The service is very good and the food is out of this world. Great value for money the chicken schnitzel was cooked to perfection. I recommend them as a great place to go out for dinner.

M. W.

Feb 2022: took my son & his partner for dinner. The meal was devine, the pan fried fish melted in our mouths, my son loved his pasta. Highly recommend Aubergine to all. 2020:Greeted warmly, Fantastic attentive wait staff. Aubergine's new female chef cooked & presented our food beautifully. A very pleasant dining experience. We will be back. (After phoning to check, we were provided outdoor seating as we were able to bring our dog)

P.

Sensational food! Lovely flavours made with fresh local ingredients cooked beautifully. We were very impressed and will return. Great service, well sized portions, attentive and warm staff. Wide variety of options, but the slow cooked lamb a stand-out. Also the fish of the day was superbly seared tuna. Nicely enough all mains come with vegetables, so no having to worry about ordering sides. 5 stars from us and we will return.

a.

Good service for our party of 9. We mostly had the 2 course special and everyone was pretty happy, especially with the lamb kebabs. Warm and comfortable atmosphere.

S. R.

Great food and friendly service. I had the Fish of the Day and the Creme Brulee; both delicious!

Т.

1. In the cheesecake, there were 5 times undissolved pieces of gelatin, 1 cm long in length.It was very unpleasant. 2. The kafta is very dry and does not smell of spices

R. C.

The service was amazing. If I was rating the service it would be 5⭐ Very attentive staff. We were seated happily without a booking. Sadly I was quite disappointed with my very overcooked shrimp. The chicken parm was nice though.

O. C.

This place is fabulous. Clean, clean, and again clean! WOW!!! The staff is naturally welcome and kind. Price is average, while, the place looks high level. Well done guys! You always can see the manager (owner) who going through giving you a smile and greeting you. Family-friendly, suitable for a business meeting, friends catch up, come up with the computer for a nice coffee, any occasion. Impressive cuisine. Love this place!

S.

Friendly staff, good prices and good food.

K.

Friendly staff, good quality food and service

J. R.

This restaurant is amazing and I will definitely come back again. I am allergic to salicylates (which is in almost everything!) so eating out can be really stressful and when restaurants get it wrong, I have been really sick. Aubergine did a fantastic job. They cooked my fish in butter along with green beans. It was delicious. Thank you so much for going the extra mile to help.

J.

Always receive great service and a lovely meal here.

G.

Sensational food, amazing hospitality, great atmosphere. Waiting staff are very welcoming. The owner/manager always personally greet you and welcome you, just like if you are visiting them in their own homes! Seating comfy and spacious. Highly Recommended

P.

Good service. Enjoyable meal

S.

The food was okay but expensive for what it was, the side dish for one of the mains was missed and delivered long after the plates were cleared. No one checked on how our meal was or if we needed anything, and we were not given a chance to consider dessert before the staff began packing up and closing everything.... At 8.30 pm! Probably won't hurry back. 😕

V.

Lovely night, lovely food and great service

N. L.

Absolutely amazing! Great food, huge portions, service was wonderful, nice calm setting. Couldn't recommend more, make sure you're hungry, you'll be well fed.

J.

Amazing dinner and the service was brilliant !! We were Well looked after by the staff and we will 100% be dining there again :)

J.

Very average food but OK. Potatoes obviously cooked in microwave, not fully cooked through and not put in oven long enough to brown. Served with undercooked boiled carrot. Why not roast your veges properly? Sauce served with pan fried fish very sour, taste not balanced. Service was slow, staff friendly but not particularly on point, forgetting we ordered a dessert as well. There are much better options in the area.

W.

Beautiful, great price, fabulous service.

P. M.

Delicious meal, great staff. Loved the $5 special on wine and beer. Many thanks for the birthday Creme Brulee, yum

D. H.

Very nice food and quite generous portions. Nice staff. Service a little slow but it was a busy lunchtime. Recommended.

L. S.

Foods were delicious and also price reasonable 🙂 good place for a get-together and birthday party. The service was excellent and friendly 👍

S.

Aubergine just Fabulous again and again as usual, thank you Team at Aubergine..Nene.

J.

We ordered lunch special Appetizer size & main quality all satisfactory I recommend this restaurant

M. B.

Owners ensure smooth running of this restaurant. Always good quality food and nicely presented. Pleasant open surroundings. Very busy for a Monday lunchtime.

E.

I just love the Place!!! Very good service, food is delicious, steak was rare, cooked to perfection!!! My staff from the Swiss Cafe in Milford had a beautiful night. Thank you and see you again!!! Eveline

T.

Excellent food. The Italian waitress is professional and cheerful. Definitely 5 start plus

L.

One of the best restaurant in nz. Service is amazing, food is really nice and very different than everything I’ve seen here. I would put 10 stars if I could and I recommend this place 100%.

K.

Great food, friendly service, great wine list Recommended 😋

M. S.

Just had a lovely Mediterranean dinner at Aubergine. Had the lamb platter and the spinach ricotta cannelloni. Also tried their very special Kunafa. Staff is very friendly, felt like home. We'll be back soon!

P. B.

Had the two course meal. They had it on special for $18 on a sign outside. Chose the brocolli soup from 3 choices of starters and the fish salad from about 7 choices of main. Soup was good, very simple but nice. But the fish blew my mind. Good sized quality piece of fish grilled perfectly sitting on top of a horseradish potato salad. A squeeze of lemon and it was perfect, a little asparagus and small cubes of beetroot to qualify it as a salad and another sauce which was nice but not really necessary. I loved every mouthful. Service was genuinely friendly and timed well. As this was a spur of the moment thing it turned out wonderfully. My partner had the bread and dips (they do gluten free) and the chicken schnitzel and declared it beautiful / very good. So overall highly recommended

B. U.

Must have new owners or the old ones have lost the plot. I've eaten here for decades and always had great service, awesome food, made to feel welcome. This time, the new decor and furniture did nothing to make the service, food & welcome any better than 'poor'. I'm am gutted to report this as this place has been one of my favorites. Not ant more.... don't think I'll go back.

M.

I quite enjoy my meal as well as my mother did too. But in my opinion it's not a 5 stars, it was affordable, and had a nice atmosphere but the food wasn't at its best.

J.

Disappointed had two entrees Same green salad with both, Could of had some colour, 2 tiny lamb chops for $16! Could have had 1/2 a lamb rack for same.

S. C.

Their $39.00 dinner deal is so good. Entree, main and dessert. I always get the eye fillet steak and it's always cooked just to my liking. The sticky date pudding is yuuuuum. I also like the duck main and the chocolate pudding. Good value for money for a delicious dinner out.

B. B.

Visited here as part of First table. Overall there was a good variety of choices. The food was better than expected and would eat there again. The only downside of our visit was the slow service, especially the wait for a second glass of wine.

C. D.

It’s a pleasant place and welcoming but disappointed with food! I have pork belly which was very dry. Partner had lamb and not quite as dry but not as mouthwatering as one would expect. Both the meals came with far to many potatoes to fill the plate.

M. K.

Nice atmosphere. Good vegetarian choices. Food was lovely. The wait staff were super friendly. Service was quick. Price slightly above average but felt the food did justify it. Would recommend.

C.

Always a great place to eat

J.

Unfortunately the main dining area was occupied by a group of about 80 people doing some sort of team building contest, involving the use of a loud microphone. We were in the outdoor annexe and could scarcely hear each other speaking. The food was average. And cold. We wish we had been told of the group event when we made our booking.

D. R.

Good overall with their special lunch deal. Very slow service for a large group we had approx 25 for lunch @1pm food did not even start coming out until past 2pm.... Vegetarian options were very good but incredibly scanty compared to the meat eaters! We had to order some more items to feel satisfied and none of us were big eaters!

B.

Went there last night. Incredible! It was so good I asked them to thank the chef. The lamb was amazing. Highly recommend.

C.

Always a great place to eat. No complaints

T.

Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Prompt service. Affordable. Pleasant background music. Comfortable seating. Nice atmosphere.

R.

This was our first time to Aubergine and would happily return. This is a very popular restaurant so remember to book in advance. The staff were friendly and helpful which just added to the overall experience. Even with so many people dining we didn't wait long for our meals to arrive.

홍.

Super kind staffs. Delicious meals at good price. I really enjoyed my meal. Will visit again.

G.

This is the best restaurant I have been to in a very long time. Soft music so you could hear each other speak. Great food . We each had a different meal and all were beautiful. Steak tender, vegetables nicely cooked and tasty sauces. Friendly staff. We came away very happy. Thank you aubaugine.

D.

Amazing food, friendly staff .. I would come again and again .. highly recommended

J. M.

Aubergine was great. Both the decor and service had very upmarket touches about them, but without the expected price tag. The food was delicious too!

S.

Great Food and atmosphere. The staff were very accommodating and attentive.

M.

Aubergine produced a beautiful meal! The chef came out two times asking about the food. Impressive meal and attentive happy staff.

S.

Nice ambience, lovely host, but the food is just average not even close to good, although the portion size was good enough.

R. M.

Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. We sat in the outdoor area which was excellent despite the rain outside. Food was excellent and the lunch special was good value.

P.

Quick lunch, great price, perfect service and very good food, would come back for sure

D. E.

The decor was nice and the food was well prepared and tasty. The portions could have been bigger and the service was at times abrupt and not the most polite, but they still got us what we asked for and the meals were still enjoyable.

J.

Setting is lovely. Location great. Food tonight unfortunately for me was very average. The saving grace was our wonderful waitress, Arti. She was very attentive, efficient, friendly and yet professional. Thank you Arti.

S.

Family owned business that has been going for over 17 years which I guess speaks for itself in a place like Takapuna where standards are high and guests are discerning. Good size menu and wine list. Great food as always and quick friendly service.

J. N.

Had the set 2 course meal for lunch. Was very delicious and nice sized portions. The service though, was not up to standard. Quite slow and I couldn’t find anyone available to bring me a water refill for about 15 minutes.

S.

Great value. Great service. Great $22 lunch option - delicious.

K.

The $22 starter and a main is great value for money! Unfortunately they don't have a change table for babies.

J.

Great decor and environment, the fish was just battered and average asked for aioli to make it less dry and they agreed like we had asked for a gold plated statue or something...

M.

The food is great as well as the price

C.

Came with my family, really enjoyed the ambience of the place and friendless of the staff. The food was exquisite, especially the chicken thigh, and the pasta of the day! Will be back soon to try more of their options!

E.

We have been going to this restaurant for lunch for many years. Very good and never been dissapointed.

S.

Always a favourite place for lunch as good selection on menu plus reasonable prices. Suggest maybe going back to previous garlic bread version as new one too oily!

P. V. L.

Good food, traffic outside was a bit busy and there are very limited WC facilities. For some reason, the staff didn't give my 7 year old son either a knife, fork or a napkin with his spaghetti, but instead provided him with a spoon?

C.

Service a little slow, due to how busy they were, but very friendly. Food was devine, as were the drinks we ordered. I would have no problem recommending Aubergine Restaurant you all that enjoy good food!

P.

Loved the lab theme of everything here. Friendly staff, tasty food.

J. M.

Had the 20$ lunch option with salmon and the one with tuna. Comes with a free drink and soup /garlic bread. The price is incredible regarding the quality of the food. Place and staff are fine. Highly recommend!

T.

Meals were yummy. Price reasonable. We got the set menu - 3 course deal. Nice portions and very filling. I'd recommend going. Lovely service.

Z.

Incredibly good value (the special);beautiful food and ambience

J. R.

Great food and fab service

P.

Good value, good food, good service and a good selection of wines and beers. Have been to Aubergine many times, it is consistent at least... would go again and recommend as a place to get a good meal.

N.

Lovely food, great service and top notch quality, all for $20 for the lunch, which was a 2-course meal and included a glass of wine! Was so good that we went back again a few days later, thinking that the same deal wouldn't be on during the weekend but it was! Would go back again and will be, soon!

S. C.

Dinner at Aubergines has in the past always been a wonderful experience both the service and the food. Our recent experience the service was great, the food not the usual standard. Soup tasted similar to Campbell tinned soup, the main of lamb shanks was great, the other main of venison was seared on the outside and refrigerator cold in the middle, the cheesecake rum & raisin great while the GF orange & almond cake while being petite (tartlet size) had been overheated in the microwave. Would hesitate to visit again as the meal was quite inconsistent in quality and in some aspects dissapointing.

R.

Lovely menu nicely presented Good service has become one of our regular restaurants

M.

Lovely place to dine at reasonable prices. Staff friendly meals fantastic I have dined here a number of times for lunch & dinner. One of our safe havens where we know you’re going to get a good meal

j.

My parter and myself visited here on Saturday arvo, it was such a good atmosphere, the waitresses that were on were friendly and welcoming, the food was to die for! Can’t wait to eat here again!!

R. M.

We had the $18 two course express lunch and really enjoyed it. Great food, great service. The manager came and chatted with us. Very friendly and welcoming.

B.

Amazing food, super friendly staff and just a great place to get together and enjoy a meal.

M.

Very good food, lovely staff. Very nice premises

M.

Took visitors from China to Christmas lunch. The place was full. All staff were very busy and good humoured with our visitors requests. As usual Aubergine's kitchen excelled with its own variaions on Christmas pudding! Pity we have to wait until next year for an encore! Thank you Aubergine.

G.

Nice $20 lunch special during the week. Good value and interesting food and fully licensed. Good quiet alternative to the nearby pubs with there regular pub lunch offerings. White linen table cloths says it all 😀

M.

Had their $5 dollar Asahi beer promo. buffalo mozzarella was good. Great ambiance and staff

H.

This a great restaurant. We have visited before and like this visit we cannot fault a thing. Wide menu, prompt attentive service and delicious food.

M.

The staff and the food was nom nom nom Worth the wander over and they do lovely set priced 3 course meals 👌👌

S.

I've been here many times in the past and loved it! My all time favourites were the chocolate fudge cake and the duck but my most recent visit was very dissapointing. The duck was not as I remembered. it lacked the tenderness, taste and crunch on the skin that I was used to. And the Chocolate cake had been replaced by some kind of dry brownie that was presented beautifully but lacked the richness and moistness of the old menus fudge cake. I didnt like it at all. Has your chief changed?

P.

Very pleasant surroundings, great service. Food very good but not exceptional/adventurous. Calamari dish was excellent but main pretty average, lacking depth of flavours.

J.

Enjoy eating here, nice place, casual dining experience, good food, haven't had a bad meal here. Always leave happy and satisfied.

W.
