This was our first visit to Spring Kitchen. The staff are top notch - very attentive but not over the top. They laughed with us while also maintaining a very high standard of professionalism. I wasn't drinking so they constantly kept my water topped up - which very rarely happens nowadays. The meal sizes aren't huge but the flavours - wow! We ordered two sides which we shared amongst four and it was plenty. This is definitely fusion to a very high standard. The orders for steak were delivered cooked to perfection; the beef cheek just melted in your mouth and the lamb cutlet for a starter - divine. I haven't had a meal like this in Wellington for many years. Very highly recommended.Kia ora famadven,Thanks a lot for your review and your kind words. We are delighted you chose us for dinner and that the staff were able to make your experience even more special.We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Dragonfly has a menu that spoils you for choice. The second you step into this restaurant you are enveloped in the romantic atmosphere, a phase I would rarely use!The food is delicious. Start with the Miso soup, hot and full of flavour. Next the Korean crispy chicken, 5 wings, a touch of spice, excellent. For main, twice cooked pork belly with mushrooms,onions and broccoli with a lovely gravy- delicious. We also had an egg based fried rice. Dessert, the plum tart with Tamorillo and ice cream, excellent. For such a busy place the service was excellent. If we lived in Wellington this place would be a regular eatery. You must try this place, highly recommended.

This restaurant was a gem of a find just a stones throw from my hotel. It was a spacious authentic and clean restaurant but I had already phoned for takeaway. The food was delicious with very generous portions. I would definitely recommend and will come back next time Iâm in town but will seat in next time. Was surprised to receive a 10% discount for takeout which was a bonus!

Dropped in here with some friends for a catch up and bite to eat. Weâd thought ahead and booked, which is almost essential as this place is popular. And with good reason.A diverse range of authentic South East Asian flavours are on offer, with something to please all tastes.The squid was tender, with a delicious spicy mayo, duck salad with orange was refreshing and bright, pork belly meltingly tender and Iâd challenge anyone who says they donât like the chicken wings.Itâs all served up with a freshness of service thatâs unpretentious.Recommended

Visiting Wellington, NZ from Canada I was looking for vegetarian restaurants. While walking I stumbled upon Curry Heaven and thought Iâd try it.I am so glad I did - and you should, too! The food, East Indian, is excellent! So good in fact I decided to come back! Vegan and Vegetarian options that are flavourful and healthy are not that easy to find, but Curry Heaven delivered.I took a photo of what I left - you can see that it was so good I used the warm, tasty Naan bread to clean the bowl.Looking for healthy, tasty and well priced vegan or vegetarian option in Wellington? Give it a try!I am so Happy that you like our Food . Its our promise to make "Every single customer will be 100% happy " in our place . Thanks again
