Reviews of Aunty Mena's Vegetarian Restaurant & Cafe

T.

One of my all time favourites. Aside from being 100% vegan, all their dishes are an absolute delight and don't break the bank. Personnel is friendly as and always willing to go the extra mile for a guest.

G. C.

Mock chicken laksa was very tasty, highly recommend. I also liked their fried dumplings. The only dish I wouldn’t recommend is char kway teow, I find that less flavoursome comparing to the other two dishes.

J. V. V. (.

I've been eating at this amazing family owned restaurant for over a decade, it's definitely stood the test of time. The menu hasn't really changed much since, and it really doesn't have to. This place is incredibly affordable and homely. All the other attempts at vegan fried rice in Wellington simply can't compete with their Nasi Goreng. Their piping hot Laksa is well worth the wait it takes to cool down.

S.

Absolutely gorgeous vegan food every time! I live in Lower Hutt and it's worth the trip. People travel from Eketahuna for this! Best food hands down vegan or not a must try!

P.

Awesome that there's a place where you can get veggie options for classic asian dishes. Laksa was great and veg is fresh!

H. C.

Consistently delicious food. I’ve tried many things on their menu; all great. Lovely people and environment <3

N. F.

Great spot. Tasty food. Brilliant vegetarian. Had the Roti Chanai. Highly recommend. Awesome place with friends.

S. K.

Enjoyed our food so much and customer service was good.

T. K.

One of my favorite places to eat in Wellington. They do the most amazing food and even my most carnivorous friends love this place. The dining area has a casual and lively vibe and the staff are always friendly. They do pickup takeaways, too. Can't recommend enough!

D.

Love it! This vege food is to die for. Any dish, take your pick. Don't be put off by the unappealing interior decor (or lack of). The delicious food will have you seeing past that and going back for more. We've been coming here for years. Our go-to dishes are Nasi Goreng Curry Paste with hot chilli paste on the side (Only for those that like seriously hot chilli!) and the Laksa. So damned morish.

M. R.

I can't praise Aunty Mena's highly enough. I've eaten here several times, and everything was spectacular (especially the Laksa and Dumpling Laksa). Everything is cooked fresh to order at the front of the restaurant, the staff are warm and welcoming, and you can taste how much love and care goes into the food.

S. D.

Went on a Thursday at 1830 and the place was packed, but we got a table for two quite quickly. We ordered the nuggets for $8 and two mains which were about $13 each. All the food was delicious, portions were pretty huge and service was good and quick.

K. W. (.

Had a really great time here. Food was very delicious and healthy. Highly recommend to all vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well!

K.

Aunty Mena’s is the perfect place to go if you want to be looked after. “Soul Food” doesn’t even begin to describe the kinds of meals they serve; I always come away feeling satisfied and very happy after their delicious kai! Try the Roti Canai with potato, you will not be disappointed!

M. Z.

The welcome was quick and we were directly led to a table. The order was taken immediately and the food was served a short time after that. They really have a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes which you all want to try :-) The food itself was very good. There were not so many noodles in our dishes, so if you are craving for having noodles, maybe this isn't the real "pasta place", even if noodles are mentioned in the dish description :-) We were placed on a table in the middle of the room, near the kitchen. It was a little bit restless as the staff was constantly passing by our table. The service was friendly. Accepts no credit cards (I wanted to pay with VISA, which wasn't possible).

A. M.

So amazing! This is the best of any type of Asian food I’ve had in New Zealand for sure. The steam buns and potato curry were perfect. The service was fast and really friendly. Great location on Cuba st! :)

J. C.

Beautiful meals as always. We took two friends for their first time at Aunty Mena's. They loved it, and they will definitely be back.

l. n.

I'm a regular patron after being taken to a small family run business called Aunty Mena's, specifically to try their world famous in Wellington Laksa soup, awesome and totally recommend! But do try their other equally great menu. Plenty of seating and friendly staff, situated in Wellingtons cool Cuba mall.

a.

Mmmmh kinda okay. Big portions but not a fan. Laksa is good though.

E. H.

Delicious curry laksa, vegan and full of goodness. The place is a hole in the wall in Cuba Street, with a loyal following and commendable menu filled with diverse meatless Southeast Asian/Malaysian dishes. Prices are good, and portions are ample.

S.

Highly recommend the chicken laksa. Great no-frills restaurant. Be warned that it is hard to pay them since they only accept NZ cards and cash 🙃

S. C.

Fantastic food at affordable prices. Would highly recommend to anyone, whether you usually eat meat or not, you'll definitely love it!

D. T.

Good vegan Asian food. It's not too expensive and you get a lot for what you pay for. I spent $40 and ended up with dinner, lunch and dinner the next night. The satay sticks are my favorite. It gets pretty busy as its quite popular, so be prepared to wait a little bit if you are more than 2 people

p. t.

Aunt is always fantastic the laska is amazing and the dumplings/spring rolls hmmmmmmmm always love the service I recieve

S. S.

Best vegetarian place in Wellington. Food is off the scale. Fast, efficient service. No frills inside. Just good food fast and everything is vego.

H. M.

Always great food, always great service, for years and years. I adore them, could not reccomend higher

J. B.

Have been coming here for YEARS and I will never tire of it. It is one of the most wondrous places in wellington, for vegans and non vegans alike. If you want to leave will a full belly and nourishment in your eyes, please consider waltzing into this delightful nook of deliciousness.

j. n.

Aunty menas is always a good time! Food is so well priced for what you get! Food is always fast, tasty and super filling!!!

J. G.

Laid back spot for tasty food. Laksa is recommended dish, but the dumpling Tom Yum is a strong contender for my favourite tag. Roti and peanut sauce is a must.

i. m.

Best Malaysian vegetarian food so far! Must try nasi lemak. Better than Queens town

S. T.

Even if you’re not vegan, you owe it to yourself to at least try a meal this legendary establishment, which has kept its quality up even now! Most folks go for laksa soup, but I much prefer the curries, especially the “lamb” and “fish!” Also make sure not to skip the vegan chicken drumsticks, which are some kind of delicious black magic. The sago dessert is also very nice for a finish!

A.

The welcome was quick and we were directly led to a table. The order was taken immediately and the food was served a short time after that. They really have a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes which you all want to try :-) The food itself was very good.

C. F.

If you are searching for Wellington’s physical manifestation of the Source, look no further than Aunty Mena’s. The steamed buns can heal childhood traumas, the curry noodle can mend broken bones and the roti chenai can be used to communicate with the dead. Value for money if you ask me. Godspeed Aunty you are gracious public servant and we will love you forever.

Y. R.

April is the loveliest staff member ever, always such a pleasure to see her and the wonton noodle soup is to die for! Hands down one of my favourite places in Wellington

G.

Incredibly large portions for the price and amazing vegetarian/vegan range for that small kitchen...definitely have to return for more...I've found it always full...sometimes have to wait for a table to clear!;)

H. T.

Fast, efficient, no frills. I would recommend, my vegan wonton noodles were delicious. The fried rice that someone else had on the table wasn't really fried so slightly disappointed but I'd come back and try something else.

Z. M.

One of the vegan establishments in Aotearoa. Will always recommend.

K. W.

The place is really crowded and lively. Ordered wanton soup and it was really good. It was so flavourful despite being the filllings were made from veges. The ginger tea was really nice, it warms up your whole body, the perfect drink for a cold winter day.

k. l.

Omg the vegan laksa is amazing!

A. B.

Good service. Quick to be served and the staff is nice. Also I had the noodle and dumpling soup and I found the portion was alright for $13 but it could be a bit more. About the taste it's good but nothing fantastic. Will give it another go because the staff is lovely and I want to try one of their main dish. It is a little restaurant so I guess it's better to book a table if you planning to come along on a Friday or Saturday evening.

L. F.

Simply amazing! This is my favourite place to eat in Wellington. It's all vegetarian/vegan friendly so you pick anything from the menu and everything is delicious. Great flavours, good food and the mock meat is extremely convincing. Will be frequenting here. Can't say enough good things!

A.

Great quality of food, such a cheap price. Love this place

J.

Excellent and affordable vegan food. Everything I have ever had here has been delicious, large portion sizes. The drumsticks are a must. Service is very efficient.

N.

Cult establishment. Very well lived by the Wellington community and its pretty decent overall really

m. c.

This place is a must. I stopped by to try a couple of dishes and was positively surprised by such a delicious meal. Best ever fried dumplings and roti bread. Even though I don't follow a vegetarian diet I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone that enjoy good food at a fair price.

A. A.

Best Vegetarian eatery in Welly! Favourite dishes are Wonton Laksa and Drumsticks. A pot of pu’er tea is an excellent accompaniment. I recommend this place to everyone! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

l. f.

This place is, has been since pretty much birth and always will be the best food this side of the equator. A lovely option for vegans that has an amazing price for the massive portions.

R. O.

My only complaint about Aunty Mena's is that I will never be able to have Laksa anywhere else, as theirs is just too good for competition. The staff are lovely, food is amazing and the prices are real low. 10/10 They're about to make me broke.

J. H.

Finding a place that serves a menu that is entirely vegan friendly is rare so imagine the excitement in discovering this gem in Wellington. The people working here are kind and the food is rapidly delivered to your table. They have a large menu with lots of variety, and their food was a delight! Everything is well priced, especially for the amount of food you get.

D. S.

Amazing selection of vegan food and very well priced too. Loved their Lychee drink!

R. O.

This place is legendary for a reason! I love coming on a night out with friends, or just grabbing some takeaway for a quick lunch. Laksa, char kway teow, drumsticks, veggie balls, wonton/dumpling soup... all standout dishes!! Nice big portions and both dishes were great. Everything on the menu is vegan so so much to choose from. Staff were friendly. The staff are super onto it too, and food always comes out quickly.

L. K.

Happy to find this place where all menu is vegan. We had 2 noodle dishes both tasty and cheap, only the portion is rather small so don't expect to get too full if you're starving.

J. S.

The food here is honestly the best vegetarian/vegan food in Wellington! As a starter the chicken drumsticks are so delicious and juicy, and every main I've tried has been great, I usually go for the laksa!

M. S. W.

It's all right there as you walk in through the door. Fresh veggies, ingredients, the smell of spices and great cooking! You know a place is worth visiting if, on a cold wet Wednesday night, you have to wait for a table. I ate a sloppy Laksi yellow curry which was delicious, but next time I go I'll take a bib. We asked one of the staff to take a photo of us and they were happy to help. It's on Facebook.

G.

Aunty mena's really takes the cake when it comes to vege food in Wellington. It is my absolute 1. when back home visiting. Highly recommend the vegan pork buns and Malaysian style curry with roti.

R. L.

A Wellington classic. Hearty Malaysian vegan food in a comfy humble setting. The Curry Noodle and Laksa are standout meals, but it's hard to go wrong. Can be busy, but that's a testament to their reliably satisfying food.

C. F.

Hands down the best vegetarian restaurant in Wellington, even if you're not vegetarian I promise you'll love the food. There's so many options to choose from, I can never go past the laksa though, the vege balls are to die for.

N. K.

I was delighted with my recent meal at Aunty Mena's Vegetarian restaurant. It was a busy Friday night, but we didn't have a long wait for our food. I had the (mock) chicken laksa, which was delicious. My partner had the hokkien mee, which was also amazing. It's a no frills establishment, so don't come here for the atmosphere, but come here for a filling and great value meal from the all vege menu. Can't wait to return next time I'm in the area!

J. S.

Definitely a place worth visiting. Delicious vegetarian and vegan meals for everyone!!

J. H.

The food is absolutely delicious. So many vegan options too which was perfect for me, a meat eater, and a vegan friend. I wasn't missing anything not having meat, this is 100% my favourite restaurant.

M.

Our favourite restaurant in Wellington. All of their food is vegan and very much delicious. Fantastic staff, brilliant atmosphere. They don't take credit cards so Eftpos or Cash only.

K.

Great vegetarian menu, Great food

T. W.

Fast service, cheap price and the nuggets were tasty. The nasi lemak however was disappointing. I ordered my curry hot and it was, but the flavour was very boring, I think all they did was add chilli. The sauce was thin too, so I didn't get the contrasting textures that I really enjoy in a good nasi lemak. My dining partner was also unimpressed by his curry laksa, he thought that the vegetables weren't integrated flavour wise.

D.

Love the options, never experienced anything like it. Dumplings were so good 😋 need to be aware of coriander though. It's not stated so if you're not keen of it, double check 😊

M. B.

Great place. Best variety of veggie food I've found in NZ so far! Don't be put off by the decor, the flavours definitely make up for it. Very reasonable too

S. M.

Had several dishes now and it is all Amazing food! Great value for money. Very quick service. Love it

H. M.

Food was really good and absolutely soul warming ginger tea! Beautiful atmosphere with some dreamy ambient tunes, perfectly matched with the warm yellow tone to the store. 10/10 carbon footprint. Highly reccomend

G. K.

Hands down, one of the best vegan spots to eat in Wellington. The wide range of meals is superb and caters to so many. My sister is big on meat while I'm vegan but we both enjoy ourselves so much at Aunty Mena's. I highly recommend the wonton noodle soup. It's hearty, warm and really hits the spot if you've been craving a great vegan broth (which can be hard to come by). Others I've been with here love the Roti Canai as well as the Tom Yum. Even their curry buns are delicious. I wish this restaurant was in Auckland as well but I'll just have to visit Wellington more to eat here!

C. T.

It's great to have a vegan place to eat at for lunch and dinner. I highly recommend the Wonton Noodle Soup, Chow Mee, veg nuggets, steamed dumplings and satay sticks. I'm yet to try the rest of the menu.

C. S.

Probably the best choice of vegan and vegetarian Asian food in Wellington. Great variety, portions are generous, food is delicious-laksa&tom yum are favorites. The staff are friendly. Can get super busy so as long as you don't mind sharing tables canteen style you won't have to wait

K. H.

Great menu, amazing staff and super cozy. This place is welly famous for a reason.

n. s.

Are you a vegetarian or vegan? You must try this place! If you're a meat lover, this place is still worth a try. They have plenty of mock meat dishes which might win you over. The service is mostly quick and the dishes are spiced to cater to wide range of tolerance levels. If you're up, ask for their spicy chilli sauce.

G. “. O.

Fantastic food! I also like being treated a little bit like dirt. No absequious bowing and scraping here! It makes you feel like you're interacting with someone on your level, maybe a little bit above you. After all, this person manages a busy popular restaurant...what have you done with your life? If not for the food you received you'd probably starve to death. Paying is the least you can do.

C. C. H.

Some of the tastiest healthy affordable food in Wellington! Plus it’s vegetarian with the friendliest staff. Highly recommended!

J. K.

Consistently delicious food. Great portion sizes for the price point too. Only thing is service can be a little hit and miss. They are always super polite however if they are busy they can sometimes seat you and then forget about you. It’s still a great lunch time spot and I always leave feeling full and happy.

M. S.

Yummy vegan and vegetarian options. Food was served quick and hot. Staff was friendly despite me showing up 15 minutes before closing time. Great value for your money. I would go again.

K. F.

Delicious and great for anyone with allium allergies or intolerances. The food here is always amazing.

M.

Good food, reasonable prices, speedy and attentive service. Huge selection of vegetarian dishes.

E.

Went there for a late lunch on a weekday and what a great experience. They served me the best mee goreng I’ve ever had and what a bonus that it was vegetarian! The service was super quick and my friend ordered the curry noodles which I had a taste of and it was also super duper yummy. I would definitely go back and recommend anyone to go there because not only is it quick and delicious but also very affordable. It’s a nice casual place and they have a bathroom. It’s quite clean and cozy inside and you can sit and have a convo without feeling rushed. Aunty Menas is definitely in my top 2 of Wellington eateries.

S.

Really delicious vegan/vege food!

J. D.

Serves generous helpings of cheap, simple and quite tasty vegan Malaysian food. Basic decor. Popular and crowded, so be prepared to wait for a table at peak times.

V. D.

Amazingly delicious!!! Price was good compare to the portion

V. P.

Food was delicious. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended. Great for vegetarians and vegans.

J.

Great value veggie eats here! Authentic Asian cooking for around $10. So tasty. Definitely worth checking out if you're on Cuba Street.

J. N.

Simply amazing food! The curry noodles are a must have, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

K. H.

Don't let the unassuming outside fool you, Aunty Mena's is home to some absolutely delicious vegan food. The service takes a little bit of time but it's worth it. I had the Chicken Laksa (fake chicken) and it was delicious. Very warming on a chilly Wellington night. *If you are an overseas traveller make sure you bring cash because they do no accept credit

L. C.

What a delight! Fabulous flavours and combinations. Generous portions too. Service was spot on given the place was packed. Will be back!

N. T.

Had the laksa which was extremely good. Food came fast as well. Highly recommend!

J.

My favourite restaurant in Wellington. Everything on the menu is vegan. Loads of tasty and filling Malaysian and Chinese cuisine, run by a Buddhist family. There used to be three generations in the kitchen but it looked like they were down to two at my most recent visit. You'll get a good quantity of food, so go hungry. My favourite is the Roti Chanai with Soya Slice Curry, honourable mention to the Fried Kway Teaw. My partner swears by the mock chicken laksa. The only thing they don't do a lot of choice in is desserts (there's Sago Malacca, but that's it). If you're more of a cake person, head up the street to Midnight Espresso, where there are usually a few vegan cake options on the counter.

B.

Delicious food, friendly staff, did not have to wait too long for food to arrive.

S. H.

Asian restaurant of choice in Wellington! Good menu, friendly, affordable, big portions, cozy. Gets busy when everyone in town has their lunch break. Also they do have some boring 'cookie cutter' Asian dishes, like rice with vegetables, that I think can disappoint people who go on with high hopes. Go straight for the laksa or the roti chanai! And try the veggie balls if you want an entree or a takeaway snack.

J. W.

It doesn't look great from the outside but the food is really delicious. The laksa is great. Would recommend to avoid the mock meat in favour of purely vege dishes

R.

I thought this place was overrated. Heard great things and though the staff were really nice and the food was average to good. The prices were average and then venue is very low key. If you're vegan it's got good selection but quality is pretty average.

I.

Best vegan food around at reasonable prices, great for a new vegetarian like myself who still crave BBQ Pork Buns some days, classic dishes with decent protein replacements. Cautious of space restrictions, prepare to share a table.

B. F.

Good fresh vegetarian food for an excellent price

d.

Nice nasi lemak curry. Vegi nuggets we're too oily. Decour feels dirty. Great that they offer all vegetarian. Would be nice if they served brown rice. Too a bit long to get our food because it's popular; about 25 minutes

N.

. (02/2017) Good vegan restaurant. Delicious food with wide variety to choose from and friendly service. Nicely located over Cuba street. Well maintained and family friendly. Good for groups.

D.

It might sound over the top..but if being vegetarian is eating dishes from aunty mena's, then I'm all for it!!! Who would have thought i would enjoy the vegetarian versions of my malaysian dishes!! Awesome place!!

P.

Great, classic vegan asian dishes. If you are hungry and wants something tasty and filling - this is the spot.

B. P.

Lovely little place, been there a couple of times are staff have always been lovely. If you're looking for tasty vegan/vegetarian food at an affordable price then this is the place for you

T. H.

We are traveling around NZ and from the UK we have eaten in a fair amount of places now and had some nice food but this is definately the best so far amazing food great flavours fair price so delicious we are going back tomorrow😊👍

J.

Really great vegetarian and vegan food cooked right in front of you, is always piping hot, tasty, nutritious, and reasonably priced too.

E. R.

Honestly had been hearing great things about this place for ages and I finally took my self over and damn was it delicious! will definitely be returning and can't wait to try every last thing on the menu!

C. F. L.

This is a great vegetarian /vegan restaurant. They pack so much flavor into each dish. The fact it's always quite busy is a reflection of how good they are.

C.

Hands down the best vegetarian restaurant in Wellington, even if you're not vegetarian I promise you'll love the food. There's so many options to choose from, I can never go past the laksa though, the vege balls are to die for.

Hands down, one of the best vegan spots to eat in Wellington. The wide range of meals is superb and caters to so many. My sister is big on meat while I'm vegan but we both enjoy ourselves so much at Aunty Mena's. I highly recommend the …

C.

Good menu choice, mid-price. Generous servings and got the rice right. Very good without being exceptional.

S. E.

I love Aunty Menas, but sometimes it disappoints. Inexpensive, good vegan food delivered quick. Service spotty. Food sometimes great and sometimes more average. Still, dependably inexpensive and quick.

S. (.

Great place. Everything on the menu is delicious. Vegan friendly. Gets really busy at peak times but worth the wait

Great food! Have to try the mock chicken laksa. I'm not vegan but if I was this would be my go-to spot.

J.

Simple place, great attention & excellent food. Never disappoints. The best vegan/vegetarian restaurnat in town.

D. J.

This place is great. Even if you don't like vegetarian food, the food here is great. The only dish I know of to avoid is the nasi goreng, it's a bit plain.

K. G.

Not bad, not great BUT Will try some other options in case there's more fun available.

Good food, it's always busy so be prepared to share a table if all the smaller ones are taken, but it's worth it.

J.

I Mean the food is pretty good but they are slipping. They know they're one of the only pure vegan joints in town and they don't care.

E.

Very accommodating. Happy to adjust meals to dietary requirements. I'm on a GF diet.

I got my own little list that I called Jacobs Little list, this place is on that list. Come eat there to find out why.
