"HAINAESE CHICKEN - Recommended dish. The Hainaese chicken was my favourite dish here. Warm chicken, served with bean sprout and a nice soy based sauce. Also with a serve of a peri-peri like, lime sauce. Also the prawn noodle soup was delicious. Large portions and generous amounts of large prawns. If you like the taste of prawn, I would highly recommend! It was fully packed of people, which is a good sign! Service was good and the food came out quick. Recommend this place for delicious Malaysian food in Auckland!"

"The laksa here is absolutely amazing—rich, aromatic, and packed with flavor! The broth was creamy with just the right amount of spice, and the ingredients were fresh and generous. Easily one of the best laksa bowls I've had. The ambience is also lovely—clean, cozy, and inviting, with a calm vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxed meal. Will definitely be coming back!"

"This long-standing Malaysian restaurant is a gem in Auckland! The food is consistently delicious, with standout dishes like the **Sambal Prawns** (spicy, fragrant, and perfectly cooked) and the comforting **Fish Head Noodle Soup** (rich broth, tender fish). The restaurant is always **clean and well-maintained**, making it a great spot for family dinners or group gatherings. Service is friendly, and the ambiance strikes a nice balance between casual and inviting. If you’re craving authentic Malaysian cuisine, don’t miss this place! Highly recommended. free parking on the road after 6:00pm"

"The food was good and I appreciated the quieter atmosphere of this branch. Service was okay, though we had to call the staff a few times for attention. Overall, still a decent dining experience, but I personally find other Malaysian restaurants better."

"Visited Selera Buffet today for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience. There were four of us, and Selera kindly accommodated us last minute, which was especially appreciated as my brother was flying back to Christchurch. Here’s how it works: Seating times: There are two sessions, 11 am and 1 pm. Payment and seating: You pay for your group, then get seated. First round: All food items are served tapas-style, allowing you to sample each dish, regardless of whether everyone in your group has arrived. Reordering: You can request more of the dishes you enjoyed. It’s essentially "eat until you’re satisfied" – a great experience overall!"

"The staple of Newmarket restaurants. Came here with an old mate for dinner, lucky we arrived quite early, the place filled soon after. Had the classic laksa with chicken thigh, deliciously tender chicken and the laksa soup is always on point. Thank you for the good quality food through out the years!"
