Manaia Seafood Boil

Most people in Auckland have probably heard of this place already!nnIt can be pretty expensive if you’re going with a small group, so definitely better value with a bigger group.nnEating with your hands gets messy but that’s part of the fun and makes it entertaining.nnDefinitely an experience worth trying at least once~

I love love love this seafood boil place. I enjoyed everything about it. There sauce is like 10/10. Definitely recommend this place if u love seafood boils. There donuts are also yummy. I recommend dipping the donut into the sauceOMG. There isnt much seating so I do recommend you book a table before arriving. They have takeaway orders as well.

We held our dad’s 60th birthday at Manaia Seafood Boil and had such an amazing experience.nnThe food was incredible as always, but what really stood out was the service. Mel, Cherry, and their team were extremely accommodating from start to finish. I worked closely with Mel via email and a few short in-person meetings leading up to the event, and everything was handled so smoothly. On the day, Cherry and her team made sure everything ran perfectly.nnThe serving staff were attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure each table was well taken care of and had plenty of food. They paid attention to all the details and really helped make the celebration stress-free and special for our family.nnEven with a few small changes along the way, the team made sure all our needs were catered to without any issues.nnHighly recommend to anyone looking to host a celebration — you’ll be in great hands!

The seafood boil was good at a good price, but the sauce is not the best we’ve tried. It was just a bit disappointing that they didn’t have any of the fried food chicken, squid, etc… available and they ran out of rice. It was a busy Sunday Mother’s Day and they definitely needed more staff. It’s worth a try but not too sure about going back.

First time trying this place today They were yum! Food was just over cooked but still do good The service by the fijian/indian lady was awesome! She served our panikeke to our table and allowed me to pay after eating due to my gloves. I would recommend this place if you have a lot of money to spare and love the mixture of seafood, spiced gravy haha. Probably will be back again for my girls 10th birthday, she enjoyed this alot Thank you :
