The best restaurants in Northgate Canterbury South East

Really nice food. Amazing service. Great place for a date

I’ve been here a few times and the quality is consistently excellent. They serve the nicest coffees in Canterbury by a long shot and their kimchi toastie is absolutely delicious. In addition I always receive very friendly and cheerful service.

Great selection of beer and ciders

The Ramen is soooooo good, must try if you visit Canterbury

Always good for weekend breakfast

Had bottomless brunch, Katie was superb as our server. We were never left waiting for our top-up

The best sushi I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Amazing price for the amount of sushi you get and quality of ingredients used. Also a great selection of non sushi dishes. My Nan had the Katsu chicken curry which was also fantastic. The Chef and waitress were great and very welcoming when you arrive and makes sure you have everything you need while you are there. Would highly recommend anyone to try this wonderful restaurant.

Abdulla and his team made our experience wonderful. Great food, service and vibes. All around a great time.

The service here was great. The gentleman who served us was polite and engaging. The place was clean and plenty of seating.

I recently dined at this incredible Indian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. We sampled a variety of dishes, and each one was exceptional. The garlic naan and tandoori roti were perfectly baked — soft, warm, and flavorful. The naga chicken brought a bold, spicy kick that was perfectly balanced, while the chettinad chicken delivered rich, aromatic Southern flavors. The lamb chops were tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection, and the tandoori chicken had a beautiful smoky char with just the right blend of spices. For the vegetarians at the table, the paneer butter masala was creamy and comforting, and the chole bhature was a delightful combination of crispy, fluffy bread and hearty, spiced chickpeas. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the presentation was equally impressive. It’s clear the chefs take great pride in their work. Paired with the top-notch service, this was one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, delicious Indian cuisine!

If you like animé and BBQ then this is the place to go! Amazing service from the staff, great tasting food and an amazing atmosphere with the TVs showing anime, back decorated, street art on the walls love it.

High quality packaging and amazing food. Steaming hot and lovely when arrived

Over and hour late, kept changing time.. couldn’t cancel either.. definitely avoid unless you happy to wait over an hour for cold food

Came in for Lunch without booking. Daryl (our waiter) was very attentive and provided a great service. Food was incredible, arrived very quickly. We ordered the mini board, the brisket, Mac and cheese, and loaded potatoes. The ribs fell straight off the bone, brisket was moist and was divine. Overall the food was incredible, and to top it off the service was incredible. Will definitely be coming back. Big Thankyou to Daryl who made an incredible stay so much better, really made the stay something to remember.

I did a lot of research for Indian food in Canterbury and very good reviews on the whole but we were disappointed I liked the selection of food on the menu. I had Paneer Massala.Quite a bright colour and lacking in flavour and heat. My friend had Lamb Nehari which was beautifully tender and acceptable sauce but seemed to have been thickened and slightly gloopy. Naan, rice and side dishes of Sag aloo, Cauliflower bhaji and Brinjal bhaji were all very tasty. The most disappointing part of the whole experience was the service. We had made a reservation and were first to arrive into the restaurant so were seated in the window. We got a friendly welcome by one of the ladies and restaurant was warm and comfortable. Drinks and food were ordered and arrived without any problem. From then on we weren't asked if we wanted any more drinks and had to go and get their attention. Plates were cleared and no further contact asking if we would like any desserts, coffee etc. We had to go to the counter to ask for the bill. My friend used the washroom - no soap or hand towels or dryer. Earlier in the evening there were 4 waitresses standing around before the restaurant filled up, doing nothing. So unfortunately the restaurant did not match up with the reviews I had read.
