Ima Cuisine - Auckland

On a cool winter's day nothing better than a hearty Shakshuka here for breakfast, watching the local office crowd arrive for work. Nice recent refurbishment too. Deducted 1 star for the coffee (Long Black), somehow just doesn't quite match the quality of the rest of this fine establishment.

Came here early in the morning and got the malawach which was nice and buttery and full of flavour. The cabinet food looks amazing, the various croissants are $7.50 but they’re huge so I guess that’s why. The scones also looked good. Next time I’ll come just for those

We are back to level 1 and with that comes a whole plethora of lunch options. Thought I'd give the ol faithful a welcome back visit and boy oh boy Ima, you make the transition back into level 1 that much more enjoyable. <br/ <br/ The chicken schnitzel was crisp and golden and the side salad slapped the right amount of acid and salt to the mix. Have yet to have a bad meal here.

Had dinner here last night. Staff are friendly. Excellent service. The food was delicious. We had the lamb shoulder, goat Suniya and the chicken. Loved every bit of it. The variety of salads available was really nice. For dessert we had the middle eastern platter, maahmoul, mint tea and the Arab coffee. We loved all of it except the custard that was part of the platter was not to our taste) . Will definitely be back yo try their other dishes and will be recommending to other as well

Had dinner with friends here the other night after hearing so many good things. It is mostly a sharing concept so its handy to be know ahead for dinner as you will all likely share. this is well explained and informed by the staff who will tell you all this info . We all really liked the food it was all very well laid out and easy to share as the mains all come with three good sharing side options for all . then you can select a main , two of us got the skewers that were lovely , they recommend two per person but i would easily have eaten three but they are cooked fresh and great. Two of us had the lamb which was nice but i thought cooled down way too quickly for me . The stand out was the chicken which is just super juicy and tasty and a must IMO . The salads accompanying these are lovely rice, a cold but well flavored tomato and cucumber dish which is light and lovely then the carrots which were my least fav as they were a little warm but cool down very quick. We did also have some falafel that were nice but a little over crisp for me and delicious pita with hummus .Lovely drink options and for me plenty of non alcoholic options and some tea after was great as it can be chilly in there as we were by the door. the only other thing that struck us was the odd table we had for six with randomly assorted chairs and fold out ends for the six of us, added to the night for us but was odd . overall a good meal and handy for a group of us
