Favourite restaurants in New Zealand

"In my opinion - The best burger joint in NZ hands down! Great service, sweet specials and(!) a good selection of Beers and Wine! Yes, Beers and Wine! Velvet open till very late especially on the weekends(3am) so you can actually enjoy their down to earth attitude and service,  and amazing burger selection even when you're out in town for a boogie! My personal fav - The Big Bro! Respect! "

"If you are looking for one of, if not the best all'round Indian Restaurant in Auckland, look no further. Chapati(or as my friends and I call it, due to us going so often - "Chapaties?") has an excellent selection of dishes(including vegetarian) superb service, great prices and a very pleasant atmosphere. Not to talk about a great selection of foreign Beers and a sweet bar. Highly recommended for the next time you are craving an Indian dish. Personal Fav - Barra Kebab Entrée. Enjoy!!"

"Ah Nando's - I have always been a fan. The spices, the chicken, the atmosphere... Really always felt like I'm in a little slice of Portugal. But one Nando's has really always stood above the others for me, from the quality of the food, to the setting, and right down to where it really matters - the service! Right from the moment I enter to the moment I leave I feel at home. Always welcomed with a smile, always looked after, and always with the quality I can rely on. This family owned Nando's branch really sets the bar, and whether you have had Nando's before or not, I can truly say, this is where you want your first, and future(!) Nando's visits to be. Just go easy on the hot sauce ;) "
