I have celiac disease and ordered a variety of things from the gf menu woth no issues! The spring rolls were not what I expected, but ended up being better than I expected. They were so good I could eat them every night. The fish batter was excellent and the hot dog was good as well. The building itself looks run down but the kitchen was clean, the prices were excellent and the service was wonderful. Seriously was the best experience I've ever had at any gf fish and chip shop anywhere!!!
A vibrant spot with a cool atmosphere, exceptional quality dishes, and a commitment to great service that will leave you wanting more.

Loved my experience here the staff were super kind and helpful, I rang beforehand and was made to feel super welcome and when I arrived I was told all the safety measures put in place such as a seperate gf fryer and working area. I had the fried chicken burger it was okay, the bread tasted a bit sconish and the chicken was a little underseasoned but the Kumara fries were insanely good! Would love to try one of the other burgers :)
Enjoy a delightful mix of flavors with a surprising variety of options and a cozy vibe, perfect for a casual bite with friends.

Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!
A local gem with a vibrant vibe, known for its delicious offerings and a must-visit for anyone craving a fantastic meal experience.

Amazing spot! Fab for coeliacs / gf folk and anyone else to enjoy. Hubby said his burger was the best smash burger he's ever had, and the milkshakes were very naughty and yum 😍 Service was so so friendly, the guys working here are absolutely wonderful.

A beautiful, cozy cafe! We had breakfast in the café and absolutely loved it. There are many vegan and vegetarian options. I had the granola and can recommend it to everyone. The taste is simply indescribably delicious! Plus fresh vegan yogurt and almond milk. Also fruit paste and fresh fruit included. There are plant-based milk alternatives to choose from. The food was really nice and carefully prepared. Therefore it tastes and looks great! Since we were so excited, we took our lunch to go with us: the vegan panini and a “vegan and gluten free peanut chocolate bar/cake”. I still dream about both of them now because they were so delicious! The panini had a delicious vegetable patty. The chocolate cake/bar was so creamy and delicious! If I had the opportunity, I would definitely be a regular customer of the café! Therefore a recommendation from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this great breakfast experience!
Expect a cozy vibe with exceptional service and chef-quality dishes, making it a must-visit for any meal of the day.

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. 😁

My local cafe and possibly my favourite cafe ever. As a celiac they have an amazing range of gluten free options. The food and coffee are delicious and the staff are amazing and so friendly. It also feels like a really welcoming place to bring my kids; they have a box of toys and coloring in to offer. I go there often and can't recommend this place enough!
Unique spot with a fantastic selection and the option to bring in your own catch for frying—definitely worth a visit!

Travelled down the north island with a coeliac this evening and found this place on the Coeliac New Zealand FB page. I phoned and we were told they have a separate area. Ordered and got two packages- one for the gluten folks and another for the coeliac. both were absolutely delicious and this place was super busy. it's a good hour from where we live but we'll be coming back up here for dinner. LOVE that this place is safe for coeliacs.

I have coeliac disease and ordered gf food from here. I told them I was coeliac and I had a reaction after eating from here. My partner contacted the store afterwards and they did not seem to really care at all. I will not return.

My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently.
Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared.
The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously.
Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! We’ll definitely be back.

I made the wrong order in the app. I needed it to be gluten free but something went wrong. I phoned, they changed it super easy with no fuss. I turned up, they didn't charge the extra, and again made it super easy and friendly, and the burger was delish. Thanks - this is a great customer experience!

Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips.
Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside.
Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated.
Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips I’ve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasn’t dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant.
The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than I’d like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork.
Haven’t had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team

Accommodating of Gluten Free (celiac) for the burgers. Chips are GF but unfortunately cooked in the same fryer as crumbed things.

Food was amazing! I wish I'd remembered to take some photos. The only let down was service was a little slow- as in getting drinks initially and then the tables weren't cleared at all...but the food came out quickly and I'd go back again simply for the food options! 4 of us are coeliac and there were so many dishes that were either gluten free or could be modified for us 😍

Big burgers with good sides. Real meat, no fillers.
Gluten-free, bunless, and vegan options.
Dairyfree milkshake options with soy.
I have found inconsistencies between franchises. Some are great with attention to your specific dietary requirements and some not. Hamilton burgerfuel was messy. Burgers were rushed assembled, and the avocado was off.
Wellington was great. I'm a carnivore, and I just ate the meat with no buns or even sauce.
New plymouth are friendly, and all burgers are well presented, and all food is labeled easily.
Great for families with allergies. A good range.
Pricey with burgers just under the $20 mark.
An average cost for a family of four, around $90 to $100 with sides and drinks
Burgers and thick shakes steal the show here, with a reputation for delicious bites and a welcoming vibe that keeps everyone coming back.

Great coffee, the open steak sandwich was amazing! The potato roastie was definitely to come back for! Great flavors on such a simple dish. The table next to me had the smash avo on !in house made bread! I'm pretty sure it was gluten free and keto 👌 and strawberry matcha looked like a coctail 🤩 very friendly staff 👌
May have walked away with a macadamia and( "something,caramilk?🤷🏼♀️") slice 🤫 (no regrets 😋)
Everything in the cabinet looked so good,so technically that's a win 😉
Enjoy a tranquil spot by the water serving well-cooked options with a great variety and clear labeling for dietary needs.

Overpriced for small portions served with a side of attitude for free; rushed to order and felt unwelcoming and like we’d done something wrong before even speaking. Also says gluten free can be accommodated on a sign outside but when asked, we were told no (no further context or explanation) and felt like we couldn’t ask anything else.

If you are a coelaic this is the place for you!
We are on a cruise and Auckland is one of the stops. We had tried so many different places with no luck.
When we got here we asked the friendly staff about gluten free options for Coeliac. She walked us through the menu and told us all the options that are not safe!
All gluten free options have a dedicated fryer and they were knowledgeable about coelaic and cross contamination.
When it came to ordering every item was noted that it was for a coelaic and when we received our food it was “*insert food* for coelaic”
Would come back to Auckland again just for this feed!
With a bright atmosphere and meticulous cleanliness, this place offers awesome service and delicious meals, making it a must-visit spot!
