Incredibly well-managed and very good service at a locally-owned restaurant that truly knows their stuff with keto, coeliac-safe, low FODMAP and other nutritional needs. In two years of living locally and eating here monthly or at least quarterly, we’ve never had a problem with an order nor a bad experience.
Finally a Cafe that caters for allergies! Specifically for me, most of the menu could be catered as gluten free and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was varied, not just the normal Cafe staples which was so refreshing and the staff were lovely. A lovely lunch on my last day in New Zealand. One happy tourist and if I were a local I'd be a regular. 😁
Had dinner last night at El Greco and we absolutely loved the experience. From the warm and friendly staff, to the comfortable outdoor seating, to the amazing food, everything was exceptional.
We had a quiet dog and this was fine. Flat surfaces, so ok for wheelchairs too. Our fried has celiacs and this also was not a problem.
I loved the Italian lagers (it was great to have another option, rather than just Peroni). The 7 ⭐️ Metaxa was similar to a Cognac, full of flavours and a great way to finish the night over dessert. Nice wine selections too.
Really enjoyed all the food - souvlaki, squid, pasta. Lots of generous amounts of salad.
My only feedback would be to only use vegetables that are in season. Brussel sprouts are not in season now, which means they’re probably cooked from frozen and we found them mushy.
Apart from that we loved everything about dining here and would highly recommend it to others.
Graci!
Been going here since it opened and our family loves the food from here. Some of the best Chinese takeaways I've ever had, even catering for dairy & gluten intolerances, and always cooked with the freshest ingredients.
Even if you do have to wait during their busy dinner hours, it's totally worth it.
Had a lovely dining experience here recently - made extra special by the care and amazing service from our waitress, Lina. Thanks Lina!
I’m coeliac, so I ordered a gluten free vege burger and fries (which are fried in a separate gluten free fryer). Big thanks to the team for taking the extra precautions to ensure it was safe for me to eat at Butger Burger Takapuna. I’ll be back!
Great food and service. If you like Malaysian food (who doesn't?) This is a great option. My nephew has allergy with gluten and they took extra care with his food. Amazing
Lovely and attentive staff. Really obliging with gluten free options and bringing me a little plate of limes when they saw me eating the limes out of other people’s glasses 😅
If you're hunting for the best pizza in North Shore, look no further! This restaurant offers an exceptional array of pizzas, each boasting a perfect balance of toppings and a divine sauce that complements the crispy crust wonderfully. What truly sets them apart is their gluten-free base—an absolute game changer. It's as delicious as their regular base, ensuring that everyone gets to enjoy their incredible pizzas without compromise. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly, making each visit as enjoyable as the pizza is delicious. A must-visit for any pizza aficionado!
A light and bright atmosphere, lovely staff, everything made on site including juice drinks, corn chips, tortillas, flan and salsa. Everything is Gluten Free!! Fresh and yummy. 😋 a Mexican fan must!
Lovely food, able to accommodate and have patience with my food allergies (dairy and gluten). The waitress Sophie is incredible!! We have become somewhat regulars :)
Really disappointed with my experience at Pita Pit Onewa Road. Worker let us order pitas and last minute said they didn’t have any gluten free pitas and we had to cancel the order. We also ordered smoothies and the worker also waited until the last minute to tell us there was no more left and had to cancel again. Really frustrated and she didn’t apologize about having to cancel our order twice.
Great food as always. Have been a fan of their Mt Eden store for many years but living on the Shore it was a bit of a drive. But Takapuna is perfect, great parking, super friendly staff and allergen knowledgeable. It's perfect if you're dining with people who are gluten free or dairy free or low carb (or another allergy) as they can easily customise the dishes. So many options and always delicious!
Tasty burger and super friendly service! And conscious about gluten free food for celiacs (openly told my son to avoid the fries).
Thick shakes really thick and nice!
We only missed gluten free fries.... It'd be awesome to have them next time. :)
We visited Browns Bay Brewing Co. last Friday to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was fantastic! Recommended by a friend who dines here often, the location is perfect—right by Browns Bay Beach with a lovely indoor/outdoor flow. The food was incredible, especially the tender chicken wings and the famous ribs, which lived up to the hype. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and the menu had great options, including plenty for those with gluten allergies.
The service was friendly, fast, and attentive, with staff making sure we were taken care of throughout the evening. Plus, the craft beer selection was fantastic. A lively atmosphere, quick service, and delicious food made for a memorable night. Highly recommend!

My family came here to celebrate a few things, one of them being my parents anniversary, and the salt message was a lovely end to the dining experience.
Tasty food. Able to cater for gluten and dairy allergies. Vegetarian options available.
Our server was so lovely, catered to my partners gluten intolerance when we were interested in a particular dish that wasn't listed as Gluten-free. The food was delicious, and the chicken was cooked just right and was juicy. Absolutely loved how cozy the place is and we were happy with the GF options available. They have delicious looking food to-go safely displayed in a cabinet that they bring out on to the street during the day, it all looks very affordable also.
Absolutely bloody delicious. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Two coeliacs who had the best GF burger ever, and didn't get ill. Thanks guys, we will definitely be back....
Great selection of dairy-free pizzas, and a decent gluten-free base. Love being able to easily customise the pizza too. Prompt and friendly delivery service as well!
Wonderful food - especially the Tapas, and so happy they catered for my gluten free options with a menu showing GF. So friendly staff, and perfect before a show

I have been longing for a USA style sports bar in Auckland and preferably in takapuna. It's here. Scott is a great front of house, he treads the boards and chats to his customers. I love spicy wings with ranch sauce and his are terrific. The service was very very attentive and 3 of us ate coeliac and our server, being one herself, was so helpful. Family, friends or even solo with an eye on the game, this is a place to go.

I am a coeliac and have never had an issue with Thai Lemons food. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about what’s safe and what’s not. The food is flavourful and full of meat and veg. I can’t recommend Thai Lemons food enough!
We just had a very lovely dinner tonight. Very welcome and friendly staff, the food was quick delicious and good portions. We had the queso, chimichangas and nachos, and only wish we had room for the gluten free churros!!
Superb vegetarian pizza!! Absolutely delicious. We had the satay gluten free one and the base was extremely yummy just like the toppings. We will definitely be back for more.
Perfectly cooked gluten free pizza so happy to see the lovely lady cleaning the pizza cutter as I'm highly allergic to gluten ☺️ very happy will defiantly come back
