Really good service and delicious food, recommend the burgers, fish and cheesy mayo chips. Very different to any other fish and chip shop with the alfresco deck to sit and enjoy your meal on and an Xbox and couch for people to enjoy. Thoroughly recommend trying for yourself.

I’ve eaten from many fish and chip shops over the years and always despaired over how greasy and soggy the chips and fish are. I would never dream of buying anything other than fish and chips because I would hate to see the result of a fish and chip shop trying to cook real food.

Then I heard from my friend about how great the chips were at this place in Kingsland and ever since I have been a convert.

The chips are crisp and flavoursome, they are generous with their portion sizes and the chips always leave you wanting more.

The fish I have only had once but it was fresh and I was really pleased to see the portion size was bigger than I was expecting it to be. The batter was crispy and delicious!

I also really enjoy the chicken tenders and their burgers which have heaps of fresh ingredients in them and are definitely “Kiwi” burgers!

The best part of Kiwiana however is the service – I usually visit during weekdays and they have a friendly girl called Jess serving, when I visit she tends to be the only one there and can handle multiple orders on her own with efficiency and is very friendly even when it’s really busy.

I have watched the food being prepared and I am very impressed with the hygiene standards in the kitchen, I have never seen any food left out on the benches and the benches are always really clean – unlike some other fish and chip shops I’ve seen.

All and all I am a Kiwiana convert and will continue coming back!

Many of us cringed when this garish looking place opened, its so out of place in kingsland. However, I gave it a chance and wow! the decor reflects the food. All show and no substance. Small serves and overpriced. Those of you that cant work out why the reviews are so polarised (had me puzzled) should check the positive reviews for the remuera branch.
Sorry guys, not worth it.

I never was a fan of fish & chips. But these people have created a convert in me!

Yummiest most delicious Fish in the world! I dare anyone to tell me different.

The chips are yum as too! I ask them for extra garlic butter every time, and every time I get it! Lovely staff!

My favorite is the battered fish and pan fried fish.

Just finished eating both! haha!

LOVE KINGSLAND KIWIANA! I’m spreading the word to EVERY. ONE. I. KNOW.

Don’t even go in.

The sign says “best fish and chip experience in the world”.
It isn’t.

The fish is not fresh, well if it is, it does not taste like it. They are consistently out of key ingredients like, kumara chips, cheeese and patties, and are horrendously over priced.

As a local, I have been several times, wanting it to be good, but have been disappointed every time. Every time. Portions of fish are insultingly small, let alone for the prices that you pay.

Worth the walk or drive down the road to go anywhere else.

Team at Kiwiana fish and chips under pressure tonight, well done. Got a free bottle of coke for waiting.
(order took longer than expected)

Thank you.

This fish and chip shop started off great (perhaps because the owner was originally present) but has steadily gone downhill to the point where the food is now totally inedible.

Tonight’s meal consisted of chips burnt to a crisp and soggy, soggy fish. We tried it again in the hope there was a different cook on – but alas tonight’s meal was the worst yet. If you could award zero stars I would.

We will NEVER return and feel incredibly sorry for the thousands who are about to descend on Kingsland for RWC – a total embarrassment. Avoid at costs unless you want to bin your meal as we have just done.


In reply to Carolyn H from Kiwiana (below). I know exactly where I was eating and it was not good! I recommend driving an extra few mins to the Ponsonby Fresh Fish and Chip Co.

As Kingsland locals we really wanted to like Kiwiana Fish and Chips. Unfortunately the fish was not fresh and encased in soggy, doughy batter. The chips were OK and the pineapple fritter was good. Not good enough for us to return sadly. We will continue to drive to Grey Lynn or Ponsonby for a fresher, quality feed.

Always good and fresh. Needs some greens in their menu. Otherwise, it’s what a Fish and Chips shop should be like.

I was walking down the road in Kingsland yesterday when I was greeted by a very friendly staff member from Kiwiana in a red tee-shirt offering me free chips for their opening day. They were so yummy that I was tempted into the very cool looking shop to try some fish. Again greeted by enthusiastic and friendly staff I ordered a piece of snapper. It was delicious! A lovely golden crispy batter with the freshest snapper inside. I go fishing regularly and Know fresh fish and this was certainly very fresh! I will be bringing my children back and they can enjoy the xbox which is in the shop while we place our orders. The burgers looked amazing too. Well done Kiwiana a very cool concept backed with quality food. We will be back!

KIWIANA IN KINGSLAND

As a relatively new Northshore Resident I met with friends in Kingsland on my way to an Appnt in Mt Albert.
It was not my intention to be sampling fish on a Tuesday but was encouraged to do so by a friend who was more than peck’sh & in dire need of a peice of FISH!
The owners were incredibly friendly.. so commented on the stunning fish which I learned was the Fish of the day .. Gurnard.. impressive !
What I also wanted to impart was that the Kebab shop owner across the road arrived with the most beautiful.. really rather stunning bunch of flowers to welcome them to the Village!!
Caw !… Does this happen on the North Shore ???

Kingsland is Kool
