The search for a good lamb roast continues. Lamb and the peas were over cooked. The roast potatoes were good. Crisp outside and fluffy inside. Ordered a small portion with gravy on the side.

Got a medium roast lamb meal for my husband. They have 3 size options available. The medium was approximately $20. The large was slightly higher. I didn’t mind the pricing :) The lady was kind at counter and didn’t wait long for our food. Only thing is it’s quite awkward and quiet inside the store. Maybe some music could help liven up the atmosphere for those that are eating in store.

So we needed to get a roast for my mums birthday dinner yesterday as we all work so we couldn’t cook it ourselves, so we went to inquirer at kiwi roast if we could get a x1 whole roast, x3 roast chickens, x48 potatoes, x24 kumara, x24 pumpkins and gravy this is to cater for 16 adults and x2 kids. They were so awesome kiwi roast they gave us a discount free gravy’s and they cut up our chicken took out all the bones, gave us the left over frames too which had stuffing in them and they also cut up the pork and put it all in foil trays for us. The food was so delicious everyone really enjoyed their meals, no complaints from anyone and we had plenty of left overs.

Never had a bad meal from here. Definitely the place to go in Avondale for a good takeaways roast meal! They offer a wide range of meats and love that even the small portion is quite generous. Serving pork (with crackling), chicken and pork. On occassion if you are lucky there is also beef on offer. The service here is great too. Friendly staff and fast service with a smile. Plenty of parking right out front and the option to eat in if you don't wish to take away your meal. Will always be my number one for a great meal in Avondale!

Kiwi Roast in Avondale is top of the line, a cut above all other Auckland roast shops. Normally a big fan of their chicken and gravy roll but today opted for a bacon and egg toasted sandwich which was fantastic. Highly recommend to others James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales
