There aren’t many decent restaurants near the Auckland airport but Szimpla is definitely a good one.
I love the 80’s furnitures arranged at the waiting bar, which gives the restaurant a retro look. The place has a spacious outdoor and interior seating with an excellent ambience.
We ordered the Scotch Fillet, Fish n Chips, Crispy Chicken Burger and the Market Fish. All dishes had a massive portion and were beautifully arranged on the plates.
I ordered the medium-well fillet but received a medium instead, however the fillet was still tender and flavored well with the mushroom sauce. The salad, eggs and chips tasted nice as well.
Friendly staff, food were served moderately fast despite being very busy.

Awesome food. Retro 70s vibe.
Took our friends visiting us for lunch, so close to the airport. With good options on menu for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.. recommend their cauliflower balls, fish and chips and calamari as quick options.
Nice pub food with friendly service. The burger was juicy with fresh ingredients. The chip serving was generous with large chunky fries.
A great place to stop before your flight.
Every time we visit, nothing but great service, warm atmosphere and reeeeeal good food! Only downfall is the change in menu, my partner & I LOVED the rice pudding, talked about it all the time only to go back and it was gone ☹️ but tried the bread and butter pudding currently on menu and oh my god! He broke his diet to have a taste! Calamari is def one of our faves. Have never had a dish that we didn’t enjoy. We definitely recommend szimpla to all, 100%
Had a group of about 15 adults here. My first time here. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. Atmosphere here was real chill. We sat and dined outdoors which was great because it was a warm night. The food was good. My steak n mushroom sauce were yum, chunky chips were ok. Dessert was delish! A very decent place.
Lovely and spacious place and the food was yummy. Also staffs were accomodating. Easy to find parking as we went on Saturday. Will definitely come back again.
We had a farewell function here and it was AWESOME the food was great we did dinner and had a variety of means. Our fave was chicken and steak.
The finger food platters were a hit with the guests that came along The outdoor area is beautiful and was a perfect venue for our farewell
Thank you team!
Recommended by a work colleague to dine there atmosphere good staff friendly.... ordered
The eye fillet meal dry meat was small piece but enjoy cocktail had .
The food was good and filling.
The service was excellent super nice and friendly!
THE CHOCOLATE TORTE IS SO GOOD!!!!! With the mango ice cream 10/10.
The atmosphere was well thought out. Great flow from inside to an outside setting 👌 Love the energy and vibe from the beautiful staff it made the food tastier😆 Cost wise, it is reasonable, considering the portion ratio and taste so overall it's a 5 star experience. Keep it up, Szimpla. We will certainly come back for more, plus we were promised a dance 💃 floor😅 oh and that Thai beef salad was the bomb, it was a Fiesta in the mouth🤣
Visited during an overnight stay at the Ibis at Auckland Airport. Service - first class. Prompt, attentive, courteous. Food - standard fare, but well presented and really tasty. Ambience - a mix of covered outdoor tables, high tables and larger standard tables to cater to all group sizes and events. Good range of wines and beers (the Tuatara is my new fave)
Setting and atmosphere is relaxing/welcoming. Staff chirpy, and friendly. It didn't take long to get served. Table reservation was made for 3 adults at 11.30am.
Food is great but did take awhile to come out, we ended up being quite hungry.
Nice place to eat if your staying at the ibis next door. Food was lovely, staff were nice but not very attentive had to find someone each time we wanted a drink or order desserts etc.. lovely vibe
We celebrated my mother in laws birthday last night. The service and food was soooo good 10/10. Great staff, very welcoming & top service. We plan on many more enjoyable moments here.
Beautiful setting. Felt 5 star but didnt feel pompous. Food was beautiful, tasty and generous portions. Loved the lambs fry with bacon and the pork belly. Honorary mention to our beautiful host Chris I think his name was, who made my 4 year olds birthday lunch truly memorable, and was attentive and efficient. Highly recommend this pub. I wish I took photos if the food but we were too hungry!!! 😀
Amazing food, recommend the garlic bread (will fill you up)!!! And the chips there the best chips I have ever tasted.
Food was amazing, waiting staff were quick to take our drinks and dinner order. Food came out super fast. Dessert was quite a wait, and very loud in the restaurant. Very pleasant experience overall
Good stop for a meal in a rush, pizza was nice.
Had dinner here tonight whilst staying near the airport. Menu looked good which founded our initial decision to eat dinner there (compared to KFC across the road).
We had the calamari and chips and it was excellent. Service was quick and polite. All wait staff were very helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in Auckland otherwise we would certainly visit again.
