Excellent - Edit
I love this restaurant. I have been many times over the years and on my vegan journey. I enjoyed it so much more after being vegan for six years. I appreciated the friendly fast service. Will be visiting many more times.

The Auntypodes - Edit
On the amazing Cuba Street is this homely vegan restaurant serving home cooked food in homely surroundings. As it was coming up to closing time we went for a take away of fish curry and tom yum tofu both of which came with rice. Large portion sizes meant there was ample for an evening meal and a dirty microwave breakfast the next day. The mock fiish and tofu both had a succulently chewy consistency full of absorbed flavour. The food was ultra fresh and came to a more than acceptable 41 NZD. We could have got so much more and kind of regret not visiting earlier during the stay.

Curry noodle - Edit
Had a very nice noodle curry dish, filling and tasty. The only problem was when I went to pay they don't accept foreign payment cards or credit cards, so I had to go across the road to the cash machine, which charged me 5 dollars for the withdrawal.

Big portions, fast service, well priced! - Edit
Finally went to Aunty Menas the other night and it was delicious. Spoilt for choice and the food was delicious. Huge portions (lots of vegan meats too!) and they were all super reasonably priced. They are popular for a reason! Went with a group of non-vegans and they all loved it. Something for everyone and the staff are so sweet! Will definitely be back

Great Vegetarian Malaysian food - Edit
It's great to see a pure vegetarian Malaysian restaurant doing so well but in all honesty it didn't really live up to the hype for me. Most Malaysian places can do most of their menu vegetarian and I've had plenty of Malaysian places performing at a similar level or better than this one.

Love this place - Edit
This looks like a very dodgy place as a bit rough outside and inside very dated, but trust me the food is amazing!
Read moreIt’s a very low key place where you might have to share the long tables.
We had curry noodles and roti. The veggie balls and potato fritter in the dish is delish!!
Highly recommend

Cheap & Cheerful...Great flavours! - Edit
We ate here for lunch and had a Mee Goreng & a Curry Noodles. Both great flavours and good size portions. Service was fast & friendly.
Read moreWe took away a Nasi Goreng-Tom Yum paste with sides of Veggie balls, Spring rolls, Mushrooms, Satay skewers & Wontons. Everything tasted great here too.
Great prices at Aunty Mena's. You can't go wrong with a menu this large, there's something for everyone! Recommended.

Slightly overrated classic - Edit
A stalwart institution in Wellington with a huge fully vegan menu, but the food is often pretty average. Not bad, just a little lacking in flavour.

One of My Favourite Places to eat in Wellington - Edit
Aunty Mena's is a regular hangout for me these days. A while back (years) I had tried it and been less than impressed. But my family convinced me to go back. They have excellent fresh food which is delicious. I especially love their laksas and curries. Stay away from the Gado Gado and mock chicken legs though. However especially try their dumpling laksa and their vegan roti!! The dumpling laksa is delicious. The prices are a little higher than some of the other very cheap Malaysian restaurants in the area but the food quality is higher and it's well worth it.
Read moreThe decor is not fantastic but who cares.
Also it can be either empty or very crowded. It seems to vary greatly.
Also their deep fried food such as their deep-fried hash browns and their vege balls are wickedly good.
Pros: Yummy Food, Fresh Food, Quality Food
Cons: Poor Gado Gado, Mock Chicken Legs

LAKSA - Edit
I had never had Laksa before but it was recommended on the menu, so I went for it and it was incredible. Super filling, very reasonably priced, massive bowl. I would absolutely go back again to try something else, but Wellington is thankfully full of loads of good vegan options!
