My first review since after lockdown. We stopped here during our basin walk. The restaurant was empty (2nd day of Alert Level 2). Had to wait a bit for service. We ordered the special BLT Buttermilk Chic burger. It came with nicely fried crispy chips. One of the better coffees too. The male server was pleasant and friendly. Would visit again. A good place to stop when doing the Orakei Basin Walk.
great tasty chicken, quick & easy.
Great local, casual, pretty healthy eatery. Prompt, friendly service, reasonably priced, good selection of salads and the chickens delish. they’re on Uber eats too which is great for a lazy night in
Had the feed for 1 and it was such a good deal - 2 salads, chicken and bread. The chicken was delicious - perfectly cooked and seasoned. I had the potato salad and the tabbouleh salad and both were yum - had to take leftovers home. The bread was a little dry though. cute and funky place!
The food was very nice and healthy. And if you’re like me and enjoy a bit of spice and good flavours then this place is worth trying. Buttermilk fried chicken ! Yasss👌🏽
I've was here once a few months ago and while the food was good, the service was inattentive and sporadic. I returned here last week and the food is still good but the service is now top-notch. My waitress (Cristina?) was an absolute joy; friendly and she was knowledgeable about what items my friend who has a peanut allergy, could eat. We were very impressed with the service this time! I had the katsu burger deal, with an Asahi beer and it was perfect! Coffee was good and strong and the outdoor seating area was sunny. Highly recommended if you're in the orakei area.
Great service. I love the food, very well done and a variety of options to choose from. I always enjoy coming back for more. Would definitely reccomend.
Went to bird on a wire for the first time and had high expectations. And those expectations were met. Our server was friendly and gave really food suggestions. We had a light meal with chicken wings which was delicious, juicy and not too spicy with the Korean sauce. Fries were crisp and seasoned well. Friendly staff, good food and close to public transport.
Love this cafe, and the one in Ponsonby. Beautiful chicken based Asian/thai fusion style salads and rolls, love the Bahn Mi. Always fresh, tasty and friendly service. If you like chicken - you must try it!
The Parnell Rose Gardens are just a stone’s throw away from my house. A favourite spot of mine during summer for its beautiful roses, Pohutukawa trees and close proximity to Judge’s Bay and views overlooking Auckland Harbour. A bonus is that you can lunch right next to the roses, making it the perfect spot for a picnic! Thanks to the Uber Eats app for making this possible!
Last weekend, the weather had cleared and the sun was shining, so my sister and I headed across to the Rose Gardens for a picnic. I opened the Uber Eats app on my phone, and was excited to discover the many eatery options available for a picnic. We chose Bird on A Wire. Their aim is to simply feed the world with handmade and sustainable food – their menu includes free range rotisserie chicken, fresh salads, sandwiches and sides. Sounded like the perfect picnic food to me!
Great hospitality. Very considerate for dietary requirements. Lots of chicken options from burgers, bowls, sandwiches, etc. Kids menu available. Had the Korean fried chicken burger myself and it was great! Would definitely recommend
Great little extension to the Bird on a Wire franchise, offering really interesting chicken dishes in a welcoming café environment. Offers great chicken meals from rotisserie chicken to more sophisticated dishes. Try the new Katy’s Curry Chicken Burger, superb.
Open all day and throughout holidays, Bird On A Wire has a solid little brunch menu that allows some leniency on the chicken motif. Go for any of the robust egg options from interesting takes on Eggs Bene, to the buckwheat pancakes. The bold will try the fried chicken on a waffle with mascarpone and ice cream option: Bird On A Waffle. Excellent, if very, very filling!
The staff make this place though from quick and courteous service, to more realistic personalities than your robot waiters of fine dining.
Go here and enjoy sophisticated takes on all chicken dishes, it’ll be worth it, even if you bloat yourself on the waffle!
We ordered the “Bird on a Waffle,” eggs on toast, and a couple of coffees. The food was really amazing.. especially the bird on a waffle! Delicious!
My only complaints are the loud music from the gym next door (though not this eatery’s fault) and to be completely honest my coffee was subpar.
But everything else including the atmosphere of the little place was just lovely!
Over all food was good but wish their chicken was a little more juicy. Presentation and service top notch.
Chicken was cooked to perfection, such creative flavours! Loved the Korean flavoured chicken. Service was excellent, thank you to the lovely young lady lini who served us and made sure we had everything we needed :) only complaint would be that your sign outside isn’t big enough we almost could not find the restaurant
Fantastic service with great staff - I was given a glass of ice water (without asking) while waiting for my takeout order. The classic baguette is delicious & I definitely recommend it.
First time trying bird on a wire the other day. Dined in with my partner the restaurant looks amazing! The staff are great especially the young pacific girl who served us I think her name was leenee? she was fabulous 🥳 we were very impressed with her service even with the restaurant being rather full. Food was great portions were a good size for the price. Anyways we will definitely be back again thank you young lady 😅
Very fresh fried chicken and delicious burger! Nice snack stop on Oraki walkway!
Have been to this beautiful joint 3 times now including today for my birthday. Always great food and hospitality from staff from when we arrive and leave. Food is has always been excellent all time’s I have come! I have not had a bad experience or time here. I love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere they give here. This place is one of my favourites and I’ll always come back to enjoy a great meal. Also thank you to the staff today for singing me happy birthday and the lovely cheesecake 🙂 see you guys again soon. From “The Waffle Girl” haha.
Ordered a whole roast bird and two salads to takeaway visiting a friend with baby in hospital. Catering for 3 and we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. It was well packed for catering and easy to manage. Came with bread to a total of $62, so that is roughly $20 per person for dinner. Pretty good deal! Little hard to find for the first time but there are parking and will sure to pick up a lot of business from the neighbourhood.
