Been coming to Nickies ever since I was a child. The restaurant is still as it was and still is very homey and welcoming with excellent service. Loved the Tom Kha Goong, was my first time trying it and it tasted amazing! Also the nuclear beef was really good as usual. Definitely will be back again to try more.

Food is good ambiance and environment is good. Quite generous quantity. Parking is a problem in the area. Service is great.
Menu is not long, so provides easy selection. Taste is good as well. It gets busy during weekends, haven't tried during weekdays

Our group enjoyed our experience here. Good veggie/vegan options and am told snapper special was fresh and delish. Could do with some obvious kiddy choices or perhaps on a separate menu. My main had a decent serve of veg and I like that the rice is spooned out, minimises waste, yay! Overall great experience

Great food and really accomodating staff. However really spicy food! So if you get mild-its still pretty spicy...
The place is dimly lit and usually quite busy with families and other groups.

Great food and lovely friendly staff, nice atmosphere too, if it wasnā€™t a little spoiled by the extra large and very noisy group upstairs. Think the manager was a little concerned having to ask them to quieted down a bit but could have done better.
Definitely would go again as think the noisy party was a rare one.

Lovely Thai restaurant with excellent service. Visited with friends and due to a large function upstairs it was hard to make conversation and be heard! Manager very apologetic!
Food was very average nothing special or outstanding but would visit again!

Very attentive service with nice decor. Food did not take long to come out, but left me a little unsatisfied. Pad Thai was on the sweeter side and the Yellow Curry was a bit underwhelming. Overall pleasant experience though.Ā  Great that this place is Halal!

Waited a very long time to try this place. Food was very good, and when you ask for spicy, boi do you get it. Best green curry ive ever had for sure. However they are a bit over priced compared to normal Thai restaraunts tbh.

WOW. Been to Nickies numerous times, never disappointed.Ā  We booked for 6.30pm (Sunday) and wereĀ  seated immediately. We had wine, main meals and shared a dessert. Stir fry roasted duck with veges and leeks and stir fry prawns which they kindly substituted the onion for ginger at our request. Dessert was Bayleys cheescake which came with aĀ  little tower of ice cream and a cherry on top. All delicious - DuckĀ  tasty and tender, plenty of succulent prawns.Ā  Ā Dessert yummy.Ā  Relaxed ambiance, similar to most Thai restaurants.Ā  Would have been 5 stars, but not much leeks with the duck - rather a lot of onion that was not cooked enough. HOWEVER, shortly after we mentioned this, a small bowl of fried leeks arrived at our table with a friendly smile. Moral is, if you have any issues, just let the staff know right away and give them the chance to remedy it. They kindly packaged up our left overs which made an awesome lunch the following day.Ā 

In a nutshell we feel this is great Thai food with excellent service at a reasonable price

TIP: just down the road on the left, they have free parking after 6pm with plenty of room. There is a Nickie's sign on a post and you can park anywhere in this big carpark.Ā 

Thanks Nickies

A handy local Thai restaurant in Newmarket this place is never packed but always has patrons. They are super quick if you are looking for a work lunch and their $12 lunch specials are real value.

I eat here often and can recommend the pad Thai, green curry and panang curry as well as the laksa. They are perfectly sized meals for a lunch-not too big or small.

Recommend if you are looking for a nice Thai quick lunch!

Iā€™ve been here twice for lunch during the work week, and was surprisingly able to get a table for 4 both times. Food came out pretty quickly and the service was friendly from start to finish. (I was with clients both times, so sorry for the lack of photos!)

Iā€™ve tried three of their appetisers: the vegetarian mixed appetiser, the corn fritter (tod man kao pod), and the mixed appetiser (spring roll, curry puff, and wonton parcel). My favourite was the curry puff with its soft outer pastry. I quite liked how substantial the little spring roll was, but was slightly underwhelmed by the wonton parcel as the vegetables didnā€™t seem fresh.

Between the three of us, we shared a green curry (with chicken), pad med (with snapper), and pad kra tiem (with lamb). These were all good dishes, though the snapper pad med stood out for me. The curry was delicious and not too creamy, although I wish it came with more chicken. Rice portions didnā€™t look big at first, but it ended up being enough.

Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their seafood dishes!

This place is AMAZING. The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful.
I order from here pretty much every time I'm working and get it to takeaway and every single time the dishes are beautiful.
I love the tom yum soup and the fried rice, as well as the pad Thai.

The flavours are perfect and I'm probably going to keep ordering from here when I'm around! ā¤

We waited about 10-15 minutes to be seated- which isn't as bad as some other people who have made reviews of Nickie's. My boyfriend asked after 15minutes when we were going to be seated as two big tables had been available the whole time. The staff member was quite rude with his "Give me three minutes" response. Buffet B was absolutely awesome and the drinks were really nice too. However, when we asked questions about certain things in the food (because it was tasty but weren't sure what it was) it took a while to find a staff member who spoke good enough English to answer us. Overall, food and drinks were the highlight- the service does need improvement.

First time to come here for lunch, they have workday lunch specials with appetisers, soups, and mains. All the mains are $12 with chicken, beef, and pork as well as $17 with prawns. I had a stir fried vege and beef dish topping with peanut sauce, which was really tasty, although looked not very good.

Amazing thai food!! Highly recommended. I usually go here for lunch and everything in lunch menu is $12 that makes it very good value for money. Curries are really good, my favourite - penang and masaman, salsa is incredible too, also must try are the pad thai and the thai fried rice (kao pad kra praw), entrees (curry puffs, spring rolls etc) are really good too. Good service, lovely ambience. It tends to get full on weekends so go early for a nice group a seating.

I celebrated my 30th bday at Nickie's with 30-something friends upstairs and everything was superb! I enjoyed Pad Thai with prawns which was delicious and a huge portion. The consistency of level of spice over the dishes seemed to vary, but everyone seemed to enjoy their dishes.

I did need to prompt the staff to take our orders (after approx 1hr 15 mins), but once I did this everything was very prompt - and I guess it's probably difficult to tell when a large group wants to start eating! Staff politely asked us all the sit down, they took our orders and systematically gave us all our food without any errors - not an easy feat with our massive group! They very kindly delivered a birthday cake (that a guest had bought along without a prior warning) complete with candles, and provided a flaming shot for the surprised birthday girl!
Paying was also painless and they allowed everyone to pay for what they ate. Guests who bought drinks were able to pay directly at the bar as they consumed, which worked perfectly.
A highly efficient and polite team at Nickie's, with wonderful food. We will surely come here again, perhaps next years' bday dinner?! Thank you very much team :)

Came here for lunch one day we ordered our mocktail, entrees and main meals all at the same time and received our main meals first. We had asked the waitress where our entrees were and she said they were coming. We eventually got them and still hadn't received our mocktails after once again asking where they were. We finally got the mocktails when we were done with eating. Food was very tasty and we enjoyed it, but they possibly need extra staff for when it's busier.

We came late one night for dinner- ringing prior to make sure that the kitchen was still open for orders. The staff were lovely and welcoming, seated us straight away and we were ordered because we were so hungry. I have been here twice before, but a very long time ago and I think it is still under the same management - very nice people! We ordered satay chicken, spring rolls, a mango and a pineapple mocktail, pad Thai and a duck dish.
All were great portions at a decent price (~$20 for a main) and we couldn't finish because there was a lot to eat! I am very pleased with this experience, so if you're after high quality Thai food with amazing service and a nice setting I recommend trying this place out.

We are the couple from Canada and we're having our holiday in Auckland for 2 weeks. We visited this restaurant for dinner for the first time on Friday. We have been to other Thai restaurant before but Nickies are far different. The atmosphere was good although it's a little hot inside. But what capture our attention is the excellent service from our lovely waitress who wore purple uniform if I'm not mistaken she's from Philippines. She's very obliging,friendly and look after us very well. We tried the sizzling hot plate dish and fried ice cream for dessert. The food was really tasty and full of flavours and would like to compliment the Chef. Fair enough for the price I think!

Tom Yum soup is a must for a starter!
The service from the staff, especially the owners shows their genuine commitment to customer service. Just need some waitress to be long service staff so they can be on par with the existing staff.

The service is always snappy and the food is always great. I've ordered a few things off their menu before and everything I've had at this place is bursting with flavor and great portions for the prices. The lunch deals here are also hard to beat but I would recommend coming here any time!Ā 

Overall, its always a good dining experience at Nicki's.

Always think all Thai restaurants are the same but this one has particularly good flavors. The ingredients of the food can be improved a bit, the snapper fish was made from frozen not fresh. The house famous beef was a little bit tough. However the flavors are just wonderful. Loved the curry puffs as they are just so fluffy and flavorsome.

What makes Nickie's Thai standout is the work that has gone into the presentation of each dish. Thanks to a #Zomatomeetup it has gone from a restaurant that I drive by often to one I will visit often. Very hard to go past the Deep Fried Whole Snapper after the bread topped with Chicken & Prawn. Fantastic food, friendly service and a ok wine list.

Will be back.

Was invited to dine with a few other Zomato foodies and was delighted to know we were having Thai!! #gluttonmodeonĀ 

We were spoilt with a full three course meal to share, sampling almost every dish on the menu (slight exaggeration).Ā 

Stand out dishes for me were:
Entree: Curry puff. Delightfully crisp pastry filled with a beautiful curry potatoe mash.
Main: Pla Lard Prik. Whole fish fried perfectly then drenched in a sweet chilli sauce.
Dessert: Baileys cheesecake with ice cream. So beautiful and creamy without being too sweet.

Would have loved to try one of their soups as well as a duck dish. Will need to remember for next time.

Ambience/Decor: 3.5/5
Service: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall: 4/5

Would definitely come back again. Thank you Zomato and Nickies for the lovely evening.

I have been here a couple of times, every time is for Lunch with a bunch of friends. The lunch menu was good, I usually have Tom Yum Soup and Kao Pad Kra Praw (Spicy Fried Rice), as I been to Thailand a lot, I prefer my Thai food, Thai Spicy Hot which they really does make it as per my preference but still taste good! Service is always great from the waitresses and Manager, they do tend to our weird group request every time with patience. Me and my colleagues always give a thumbs up when we dine there. If you dine in a group, you can also contact them to preorder your meal.

I was there last night for dinner with a bunch of Old and New friends for #FoodieMeetUp Dinner, we kinda ordered almost everything in the menu to share, the food was great, from Appetizer, Main to Dessert... My highlight for the night was the Mix Appetizer, Pla Lard Prik (Deep Fried Whole Snapper with Chillies and Tamarind Sauce), Stir Fried Prawn and Panang Curry Beef. I love the dessert, ice cream with jackfruit, fried banana with ice cream... yum! and the cheesecake is soft but really rich... I was feeling so full by the end of the dinner... Wish I have more space in my tummy to eat everything... Would definitely come again, good food! Joey Sim Daniel Power Kayla H Sarah Forsyth Porvi Fomra Jo Y David Boshier

nickies is an old favourite of mine from days passed when I had an entertainment book. With a most un-thai name it has some consistently good thai food. Maybe not sensational but consistent isvhow id describe this place. Spring rolls of course..3/5 were ok-ish. Nothing to write about but crisp with a serving of 4. No real taste so I on a rare occasion used the dipping sauce which I did like. Pad thai was prawn as usual. 4.5/5 really tasty and a good portion. Prawns used were moderately large and generous in quantity.
A red duck curry was our final dish 3.5/5 again generous duck and had some lychee and pineapple pieces. Mistake was I ordered the mild and this didnt have the zip that it could of. A bit meagre on the amount of sauce.
Service here was just ok. Long wait for a ordered drink and didnt get offered a top up of rice so when I ran out I stopped eating. Good for the waistline I guess. Doggy bagged the rest and had tge pad thai for lunch the next day.

Always love coming here, especially since they're halal. Staff are always welcoming.

Favourites here are the red curry with roast duck, and the nuclear beef. The food does taste a bit more accommodating to the western palate, however is still enjoyable.

Have previously hosted a group of 20 here and staff were very helpful with everyone enjoying their meal.

Prices are a bit pricey, as most Thai places in Auckland, but Nickie's Thai is a nice place to visit for dinner every now and then.

A friend recommended nickie's and popped in for lunch not so long ago and i wasn't disappointed. The $12 lunch specials are hard to beat and do not sacrifice on quality like a lot of the other places.

Quality food, good ambiance and good service definitely makes this place well worth the visit.

Parking at Newmarket is usually not easy, but for dinner, Nickie's Thai has its parking spaces some 50m down on the left side of Railway Street.Ā 

There were not many customers on a Tuesday evening, however, our waitress had neglected to bring us water. We had Tom Yum Goong soup, fish cakes & Talay scallops for entrĆ©es. I liked the fish cakes better than the recommended scallops. For the mains we had Thai fried rice, red curry chicken, stir-fried roasted duck & deep-fried snapper.Ā  Our waitress had our cutleries forgotten again! All our mains were good. One of us liked the duck, the other liked fish..., but none liked the chicken. We had the recommended Bailey's cheesecake, but we all felt that it wasn't that good. The fried ice-cream was the one we all gave our thumbs up.

Nickies is our local, so we enjoy takeaway as well as dining in regularly. Dining in is lovely as it has an authentic atmosphere and good sized wine glasses. The service is responsive and friendly. Generally the TA is just as good as eating in, and they do "spicy" really well.

I've been to Nicky's a couple of times for work lunches and love the $14 menu. It's a decent size for lunch, but not too much to make you feel absolutely stuffed. They also have a concession card which works out at even better value for money than the $14 lunches which is a nice bonus if you plan on eating here often - I believe it expires within 4 months though.

This is another restaurant in the Newmarket area that has great lunch specials but are not super cheap for dinner which is unfortunate, although they are not expensive for dinner by all means just the lunch special is a bargain!

Both times I have had the chicken penang curry which was nice and tasty and full of flavour as all good Thai food should be :)

We thought we'd try somewhere new for dinner so headed to Nickie's in Newmarket for some Thai...

Parking: it was a Monday evening so parking wasn't that much of a hassle. We found a park off one of the side streets nearby.
Service: friendly and very attentive - this was a Monday evening so it was pretty quiet.
Food: their is loads to choose from on the menu. We ordered a prawn spring roll appetizer (delicious and was served promptly), a pad thai gai (yes, the standard Thai go-to meal) and a chicken panang curry. Everything tasted great with big portion sizes.
Price: it came to around $70 for an appetizer, two mains, a beer and a soft drink. It'd say this is a little pricey when there are other places that offer the same kind of cuisine for less. In saying that, it depends on what kind of evening you're looking for.
Strangely enough I'm looking at my receipt and the takeaway menu (definitely a plus that they home deliver too!) and the prices are different. So I'm not sure whether we've been over-charged or if the menu I'm looking at is old. The panang curry on our receipt says $21.90 but on the menu I'm looking at it says $16.50. OR is the take-away menu just cheaper? The take-away menu pricing makes more sense to me.

All in all though definitely can't complain about the food or the service!

Truly the best and nicest staff on earth. My kids were overdue for a meal when we came in and these guys had a side of rice on a kids plate in front of them as fast as the drinks. They were super super amazingly nice and the food was incredible.

The first time I ate at this restaurant was 20 years ago. Went last week. It was so good. The food, The taste, management, 20 years later, the deep friend snapper tasted just the same. Management and staff speak to you as though they have or still remember us from years ago

Nice Thai restaurant run by ? Indians šŸ˜ Anyway, food was nice, maybe not ā€œauthenticā€ Thai, but definitely not Indian šŸ˜. Staff is attentive and polite. Prices could be a bit lower, but at this time and ageā€¦ Overall very good impression, will consider going there again for New Year celebration.

So i went for brunch the other day and found the food to be awesome, the snapper fillets were however not that satisfactory because Iā€™m a great fan and frequent eater of seafood so i can figure out the freshness. Otherwise everything was awesome and would go again.

This is my favourite place The only problem is itā€™s always busy Even if you book your table you have to wait long. Service are alway great and the food is amazing as well. Prices are higher though worth spending. Some time the crowd and noices are un suitable when you come with your families.

All I wanted was reasonably fresh ingredients, a ice cold beer and a reasonable price. What we got was great service from the first phone call, friendly quick service, a ice glass, and a very reasonable price tag with amazing food. Honestly I love my ginger tai and this pad khing was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend. And I will be back!

This restaurant never fails to impress me, service is always exceptional, food always consistent and it has a nice environment. Went after along time and I have to say Nikkies always has the same and consistent standard that you want when you go over again and again.

Best Thai in Auckland. Outstanding customer service, delicious food and friendly staff. Every dish is made and served with love and care. Going as a couple, as a family or a whole group, best place to go! Very accomodating and flexible with almost all needs accomodated. Make your next family outing at Nickies and you wonā€™t regret.
