Awesome friendly 5 star service from all the staff who’d check in on us throughout our time there (from drinks to appetisers and main course) that everything was well. Chef did a splendid job on our duck leg and medium rare beef dishes - so good that we forgot to take a picture of it! Definitely worth our repeat visit.
Service was great, lovely setting, Absolutely loved the Chicken & Waffles. Cooked to perfection. Thank you very much
We came here after looking at their reviews and must say was pleasantly surprised. We both got a burger each, I got the Southern Fried Chicken burger which was really good, although the sauce was a little weird, as I expected something spicier and not like a sweet chutney. The chicken was crispy and juicy.
My husband got the Wagyu beef burger was it was really well done too. All in all the staff were nice, food was good. The only reason it didn’t get full 5 stars is because I would only come here if I was in the area, and won’t make a trip for it.
Came here for brunch, since it was a local spot we thought we would check it out and wow it did not disappoint! Wagyu burger was a little dry but still tasty and the fried chicken with waffles was delish. Would definitely come back again :)
Very relaxed setting. This is the dining area in a motel. Such a neat place with lovely staff. The waffle chicken waa moist and cooked just right. Prices were especially worthwhile with Zomato Gold.
We took a chance we didn’t have a reservation. The place was very pleasant, clean and very inviting, staff cheerful. Linguini was very good and creamy and the market fish although the salmon was a tad overcooked was very tasty. A very good find in Manukau.
Great service, scallops were delicious and so was the eye fillet. Ribeye was a little tough but overall, will be back soon 😁
Had a late lunch at Ora Bistro on 14/9 at 4pm. The place was quiet. We were welcomed with a smile and seated and our orders taken promptly. Ordered the chicken burger and chips and the prawn linguini, the best we’ve had in a long time, compliments to the chef.
A lovely place in manukau for dinner at reasonable prices. Will definitely come again and have recommended it to family.
Nice little hole in the wall, and pleasant atmosphere!
Food was nice- my eye fillet was perfectly medium- rare, chicken burger was delicious and lamb shank fell off of every bone without fail.
However, offering 1 menu for a table of 3 isn't sufficient enough and should have a menu per person.
But don't underestimate this place, plus it will save you the distance.
Went here last night for dinner as we were in the area. It was abit difficult to locate as I didn’t know it was INSIDE the hotel. I had to call them up.
The environment of the restaurant was nice, quiet & clean. The staff were very friendly. & the food was delicious.
We had oysters & chicken tacos. The tacos were dry.
& for mains we had lamb shanks on kumra mash & pork belly. Portion size for the pork was small & decent for the shanks.
The food and the people were great. The desert Guava cheese cake was outstanding. The only comment we had was the bisque for the Market fish could have been a bit more. It was relatively less compared to the portion of the plate.
Oh it was delicious! Hats off to the chef. The pizza was devine 🤤 but so was everything else. Service was brilliant, ladies were lovely and attentive.
Great food and service! I tried both breakfast buffet and lunch. They ran out of pancakes but there were a lot of other selections. I tried their oysters and they were fresh, clean and delicious.
Buffet breakfast was awesome, staff were welcoming as soon as we entered. It had a great selection of food even though it was a small space. I like that it had smoothies and the portion size was great. Didn't take pictures, was too hungry 😅
Downside for me is just trying to find a park and the fact that it was quite a small space but I'd definitely go there again
Pleasantly surprised as soon as I arrived at the restaurant. Great atmosphere and top quality finishes.
Overall the food was great! The lamb and steak cooked exactly how we ordered them. 10/10 for presentation. Potatoes and wok tossed broccolini were sides but were so good I could have eaten them on their own. Pasta cooked well and generous with the prawns.
The lamb chops entree and frangipani cake I would not recommended but everything else was great!
Our waiter was very attentive and friendly . I would come back and highly recommend to all.
Service was amazingly attentive. Pina colada was delicious. Ordered the Korean skewers for entree. Lovely, however could have added tad more kimchi. For main, we ordered the cauliflower steak and wagyu beef cheeseburger. My best friend thought the cauliflower steak was amazing, personally thought it was average. The wagyu beef cheeseburger was Tasty but surprisingly dry. Dessert was refreshing. quite expensive but great experience. Great ambience also.
Restaurant in the Sebel Hotel, can't believe I haven't been here before - v close to home. Tables are quite close, its not a large space. We all enjoyed our meals, they were a bit slow in coming which we didn't care about. Lamb rump, mushrooms, Korean chicken, creme brulee & a chocolate mousse type dessert. The only 2 things I'd add is that there wasn't much taste on the mushrooms and the biscotti was soft when it should be hard. But overall a lovely meal & I'll go back.
My husband and I ordered the steak and lamb dishes for lunch this week. We were surprised about the location, pleasantly surprised the establishment itself is small and quiet. The food and service were both great. I'd recommend and likely return, myself. My only issue was how cold it was inside, I wished I'd had a sweater.
This is our fourth time going to Ora and it's been consistently great every time. The eye fillet is amazing! The oysters with the chilly was delicious. The staff are lovely.
Entree of pork ribs was great, well cooked with 3 good size pieces.
Duck was crispy and the vegetarian roll very tasty.
