A bit bland - Edit
I visited here to get some food to take out and I loved that the boxes where eco friendly, along with pretty much everything here! I wasn't as impressed by the food though, had a chickpea curry, but there was no real taste to it also had a box of salad in general they were OK but nothing to write home about, also I asked the girl behind the counter what was vegan as I'd never visited before and I got a blank stare but she asked the other girl who showed me what was and wasn't!
I'd maybe try again if I was pushed for choice, but I do love that there seems to be an increasing amount of veggie places available! ☺
Pros: Healthy
Cons: Bit pricey, Small portions

Delicious - Edit
I had the stroganoff hotpot on a cold day and it was exactly what I needed. So tasty all the way through, and healthy! Only complaint was that, for the portion size, the price seemed a little bit steep.
Pros: Plenty of flavour, Healthy and vegetarian, Even the containers are eco-friendly
Cons: portion size/price, non-degradable sticker on container

Best quick food downtown - Edit
Revive is great for a quick healthy fix. Somehow, their flavours hasn't convinced me though and unfortunately the interior design isn't very inviting either. But if you're in town, this is by far the best place to go to - also to pick up food to take home. I really appreciate their offers for students (via newsletter).
Pros: healthy, quick

Large selection of hot and cold lunch dishes - Edit
Revive is a fully vegetarian cafe, open for lunches. Many, if not most, of the dishes are vegan. Meals come in small, regular and large sizes and one fills ones bowl accordingly with one, two or three selections from the salad bar and/ or hot-pots. There are also delicious soups on offer. There is a large upstairs seating area. Takeaway containers are also available, so this a good place to buy a packed lunch for work or a picnic.
Pros: Large selection, vegetarian and vegan, Reasonable price, Roomy seating area

My favourite lunch place - Edit
The guys at revive focus on nutritious healthy vegetarian food. Its a pretty good price (about $8-10 for a light lunch). I love that I don't need to think about whether I am having a balanced meal because they have already done that for me! Lots of good grains and pulses and yummy dahl hot-pots.
If you catch the bus in auckland, they have discount vouchers on the back of bus tickets (at the moment). And if you sign up as a revive member, you get weekly specials too.
Not a cosy atmospheric place for a date, but a great lunch option or for a quick dinner.
I love this place.
Pros: Healthy/nutritious, Good value, Delicious food
Cons: Not a cosy atmosphere, Not open late in the evenings!

I'll come again - Edit
The food counter displayed a huge variety of choices and colours which was pretty and looked delicious. The service was friendly however I recall there being some strange *rules* about which combination of dishes you could choose from and blah, blah, blah. I couldn't be bothered with it so I let it drop.
The food was delicious, healthy and creative. I'd go again.
I went for dinner with a friend and we probably should have gone to the other place for a sit-down dinner. Although there are chairs at Lorne Street there is not so much ambience. It's really more like an eat & run type of place.
Pros: Variety, Healthy
Cons: Ambience

Healthy Fast Food! - Edit
Revive is a regular place I go to if I am on the run and want food that does not make me feel crap. They offer a wide variety of vegan salads and the hot pot is always vegan. They have great Stash herbal tea, the peppermint one is my favourite of all peppermint teas. A nice place for anyone wanting to eat healthier.
Pros: Salad Bar, Hot Pot, Stash herbal tea

Best Vegetarian in the World! - Edit
What a great place to discover. I had the chickpea korma and brown rice and the ceasar salad - cost around $11 I think. My friend had a spinach pie thing and an amazing spanish salad - fantastic flavors. I only wish I worked in the city and could get here more often. Friendly staff - they even signed me up to their e-mail loyalty programme - apparently I get a gift when I sign up so can't wait! They change their menu every day which is a real bummer as I live in the suburbs and cannot make it in to try things.
Pros: Tastes great, Staff were really friendly
Cons: Not open weekends, Menu changes daily so I miss out

Revive cafe is not as good as I had hoped - Edit
I went to the Revive cafe recently and was appalled by the behaviour of one of the older staff members. She did not have a welcoming smile, moreover she was harsh to the other younger staff. I am disappointed to enter a vegetarian cafe who has a great newsletter and seemingly a great culture, to be greeted by such behaviour. The portions were too small for the money paid, and there was not much choice at all. I did not enjoy the experience sadly, and although I still receive coupons I will not be going in the future. Unless something is done about those points I have mentioned. I love the newsletter by the way, I think it is very thoughtful and warm.
Pros: Great newsletter
Cons: Unfriendly staff, Too small portions, Limited variety

Verdict on Revive - Edit
It isn't easy to find salads in the city and revive does offer a variety. There are green salads as well as potato and pasta salads. Also each day there is a "hot pot" option- something like bean stew on brown rice and a "meal of the day" - something like a lasagne or filo tart. In addition, a frittata is always avaliable. The food is ok, but you could easily make it yourself, probably better-- and for a lot cheaper. one time I had a silician almond rice salad , and it contained just half an almond. The main meals are rather expensive (between $11.90 and 14.90) and the portions are sometimes quite small. a lot of things have either dairy or eggs in them so if you have allergies it's not easy. (The staff are a bit clueless sometimes if you ask about ingredients so be careful) However there are gluten free options. The food is quite carbohydrate-rich so you might feel a bit bloated or hungry later on. Overall, revive is a satisfactory option when you're in town without food and you want something remotely healthy. Sign up to their emailing list and you will get discount vouchers.
Pros: Good salad variety, Good values, Discount vouchers if on email list
Cons: not good value for money, carb over load

Great in the go - Edit
The food here is ordered at the counter from a couple of daily options. The food is healthy, tasty and comes with brown rice. You can quickly grab something to go, great if you're running to catch the ferry, and want a vegan lunch for the ride!
Pros: healthy, quick, to go

Great place - Edit
Same menu as the other Revive location in town. Great food, tasty, brown rice, balanced meal with protein! I ate there several times while in Auckland. Warmly recommended.
Pros: Tasty food
