King of Skewers 签王 Auckland
@naomilai
My absolute fave hot pot spot (lol) in the city! They do a proper spicy broth if that's your thing, but you can also split the hot pot bowl into two flavours if you and your friends can't agree.

The Hidden Village
@naomilai
Great Filipino food! We had the platter, and it was gigantic and every single thing on the plate was amazing.

Mithaiwala Indian Vegetarian Restaurant
@naomilai
$11.99 thali combos with 2 curries, rice, naan, and pickles. $14.99 if you want to go for the big thali with 3 curries. All the curries are veggie but it's always amazing. They also have some great sweet treats so make sure you get a box to take home after your meal!

Hambagu
@naomilai
Very low-key burger spot without much seating but whether you dine in or takeaway the burgers are always amazing. If you go with 3 friends, they have a great combo deal with 4 burgers, fries, sides, and drinks for like $75.

Same owners and concept as Caretaker - they don't have a menu, they'll just ask you some questions and create a unique cocktail for you. Semi-hidden but on the main stretch of Ponsonby Road.
