"It's a perfect place to have a beer in Welli. I had a couple of Daydreams and loved them. All the staff is great, but I can't believe how amazing the blonde manager from the UK was. Estoy encantado! Perfect service and perfect beer, I recommend this place 100%."

"Wow wow wow WOW! I'm a big fan of Indian food and this place was one of my favorites. The food was absolutely delicious, the little window to the kitchen to watch the naan being cooked was really cool, and the owner/manager came over himself to make sure everything was to our liking, to which with stuffed mouths we just kept nodding our heads yes "

"We have been going to Pandan since they were in Tawa. As a family who love Malaysia and local food, this restaurant is better than local Malay, we feel so lucky they are only 20 main away from Johnsonville. We celebrate as many of our family occasions here that we can. From the goat curry, to the claypot fish, it is all a heavenly delight. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$30–40"

"Terrible service arrived 5 minutes early to the booking at 8pm and table was not ready so we had to go outside and wait. there was a 55 minute wait on the mains and 40 minute wait on dessert by the time we had finished it was past 10pm. food was great but wasn't at all worth the wait. the bill was super expensive and we felt ripped off. we ended up feeling very disappointed and let down, as we were looking forward to going to a nice restaurant. ive previously worked in hospitality and id be really embarrassed making patrons wait more than an hour for food. not on the wait staff but a pretty bad reflection on management. apart from this, serivce was friendly and drinks were good just a shame that the massive wait times put a damper on the night."

"An amazing boardgame cafe/restaurant. Been there a couple of times (once on a double date and the second time with my boardgame savvy 4 yo). A lot of boardgames, nice selection. We enjoyed the chicken burger but the venison burger was quite dry. I can see us returning many times in the future."
