Great for a quick lunch - Edit
A good selection of salads at the salad bar, along with a choice of hot meals. I opted for a plate with four salads, which was both tasty and filling. My partner had the French cassoulet and really enjoyed it.
Read moreThe only downside for me was the décor, which felt a little bare and could perhaps be made a bit cosier.

amazing place!! - Edit
By far one of the best places we went to in Auckland! They have a changing menu and a huge salad bar with freshly made salads. You get a large salad bowl with four different salads for 20.90$ which is completely fair in my opinion. Staff was also super friendly! It was soo delicious and if I‘d work in the area I‘d come here every single day! 100/10!

Love love love this place :) - Edit
I've missed Revive since moving to Wellington, but while back up in Auckland today I stopped by for lunch and it was just as great as ever. I had the $15.50 small salad box and loved all the rainbow coloured nutritious options to pick from - and I bought one of their cookbooks too (50% off at the moment!) so I can cook some of their tasty foods when I'm back home. Great friendly service and a lovely welcoming environment to eat in. And 100% compostable packaging as a bonus. Highly recommend!

Great place! - Edit
We are staying across the street and had to check it out. While checking out grabbed a brownie. Very good!
Read moreCame back for dinner and they were cleaned out from what there was in the morning. You can see my pictures what I had. All very good. My fav items were pretty much everything but the one that was not a 5 star was the Iranian Lentil & Potato Stew.
Friendly employees, huge selection of food, good dessert and lots of packaged treats and snacks. Hopefully we will get here again.

Yummy, nice vibe, affordable - Edit
I got the hot box deal with the Dahl, rice, potato salad, and Vietnamese 'not-chicken' salad. All was really good and you get a good amount of each. The complimentary pea hummus was also very good. Only way to improve would be reusable trays rather than single use trays and cutlery, but other than that it was great. Love that everything is vegan so no need to worry about ingredients! All ingredients are also clearly labelled.
Read morePros: Good food, Range of options, Not too expensive
Cons: All trays and utensils are single use

Changing Menu with Variety - Edit
Fresh ingredients, a home cooked meal when away from home😄Menu seems to change weekly with plenty of new additions, with sweet choices as well. German potatoes and seasonal slaw were delicious! Would have liked to try the hot cauliflower and spinach balls but the timing wasn’t in our favour. Maybe next time? Worth checking out for sure! 👍

Huge selection changes daily. Thoughtful healthy plant based food that's packed full of flavour. Reasonable prices using ethically sustainable food and packaging practices 🙏. One of the original vegan food options in Auckland enjoyed by plant based and non plant based customers for many years. Thanks Revive for your many daily options.

Delicious all vegan - Edit
Everything is vegan. We had the special of the day with a creamy lemon sauce and salad. They also carry the owner's various cookbooks with easy to follow instructions. We selected #7 that features vegan cheeses (and lots more) and another with 30 minute meal plans. Quiet indoor seating and very friendly staff.

Great but not accessible - Edit
Would give 5 stars if there was an accessible entrance somewhere. I use a wheelchair and am thankfully ambulatory so I was able to get out and my partner brought my chair up the stairs for me but others aren't able to do the same. Food was flavourful and filling and didn't leave me feeling slow and lethargic like most places. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. I also really like the section where they had food items like TVP for sale. I've never seen Himalayan Black Salt for sale in a cafe before and I wish I'd bought some. I'll definitely check back next time I'm in Auckland and I hope one day there will be an easier way to get in. In the meantime will still recommend to all of my abled friends.

Cons: No ramp
