I like coming here for lunch. Their food is always fresh,healthy and tasty. The salads are flavorsome,great couscous,very uplifting food.
The staff are very nice and onto every thing that was needed.
Well worth a visit .
This is one of my favourite place when visiting to Christchurch, first of all it was Halal and secondly great value for money. Excellent customer service and great tasty food. We went there for lunch and dinner for the weekends we stayed in Chch. This place is highly recommended.
This has always been one of my favorite place to visit. Their cabinet is always full of delicious looking food. I am always ambitious about wanting to try everything in the cabinet but my eyes are always bigger than my stomach.
My favourites include the califlower salad, roasted vegetables, the moroxan chicken wings and lots of other.
Don't leave their without ordering the Moroccan mint tea! Yummy!!
Food is usually tasty in good servings. Been coming to Mosaic for few years. Have you changed chef recently? Bought some food off the counter recently and they tasted very different to what they used to.
Always a pleasure and a eating experience going yo mosaic. The good is fresh and well prepared. Last visit I had the Arabic chicken skewers and couscous salad and a wild rice salad. Fantastic to say the least. Judging by all the lunch time punters they also like good fresh food.
Lunch time boccadillos are damn fine value! These Moroccan toasted wraps have a crisp grilled surface. I chose the lamb tagine with four salads and a garlic/ aioli sauce for $9.50 (they do a small for $6.50.) Great flavour, I'd be better yet if they'd heated the lamb first.
Visited here recently with friends and been a few times before also. Souvlakis are great would definitely recommend them! All options are great can't go wrong. The service was alright the till operator seemed to have very little interest in what she was doing or in customers. My friends enjoyed it, however they did struggled with the spice so would recommend mild if you can't handle spice, as the medium option has a good kick. The cabinet food looked good very homely and with a wide range of different types of food but I did not order anything from it.
Would recommend for lunch good food and pretty comfortable setting and seating arrangements.
Beautiful fresh salads are a favourite - I usually order a small mix of salads with something from the cabinet. Great flavours without being heavy!! Also great to drop in for a rich smoothie or sneaky piece of cake....all delicious. Admittedly, love this place souly for the food. (Not so the ambience, but hey.)
Beautiful,tasty,food,excellent service.Had the the platter for two More than enough.Nice warm evening sitting outside in the sun(no easterly!)Definitely go again.Took my wife. Usually go to Riccarton Food mall(upstairs) every thursday night,but this is definitely better and without the crowds.No alcohol, but that didn't matter
Had lunch with a friend here, always a great selection of food. Had a wrap which was great value. Also had a Moroccan mint tea, also lovely but never came with the Turkish delight mentioned on the board so disappointing considering this tea was $5.00. Otherwise great, could do with a freshen up decor wise -a nice wallpaper to soften the cold floor and other finishes
I do miss the Crown Plaza.
We came across this place by accident after walking out of The New York Deli down the road due to poor service. Mosaic by Simo was absolutely great. A great atmosphere, reasonable prices, fast service and really interesting food. I strongly recommend you try it. You wont regret it. Its a great place to go to before going to the Court Theatre which is walking distance away. Thank you. We will definitely be coming back for more and telling all our friends about you. A great experience
I came with a group of friends to the new Ilam Restaurant to have an adventurous introduction to the tagines.
It was just AMAZING: food was delicious, in very large amount, and the friendly team took care of us very well.
We will all come back soon, so thank you again it was great.
First went there in July when I made my family go. They too liked the tasty and exotic food. So NOT bland. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the old fahioned busy cafes when you were engulfed in food aromas and (yes - tobacco). The staff are bright and have to work at a pace almost unheard of nowadays. Buzzy and exciting. I go there often.
We were in Christchurch for a few days for a family event. Christchurch-based friends, knowing we are vegetarians, proudly took us to Mosaic - and what a great experience. Casual, fun - really friendly good-humoured staff, and a fantastic selection of really great food. We had mixed salads (all yummy) and excellent falafel, following by some of the best baklava we have ever tasted!
If we lived in Christchurch, we would make this little gem a regular stop. We don't, so we are now hoping for a similar restaurant in Tauranga!
Well done and alll the best to the Simo crew as you recover from the earthquake!
Had one of their flatbread sandwiches today. Lovely fresh ingredients, and great flavours. The staff were very polite and friendly, service was quick. The shop is presented well, and has a clean, fresh looking dining area. Great job!
Very rare I leave a review but this was so good I had to.
I ordered a 10-man platter (around $95-$100) from here for a small work function and it's hard to say whether the food or service is better... Both exceptional - 10/10. All the staff were asking where I got the food from and wanted directions to the restaurant! Sam was really helpful and presented the food beautifully, and the taste was phenomenal. Wish I had more photos because the explanation doesn't do it justice, but it had been attacked before it crossed my mind. One of my favourite places in CHCH - it never misses!
Excellent food, very well presented. Tasty and lots of variety. Good vegan options as well with the platter. Fresh and handmade. Lovely dips and flatbread. Friendly waitress who was super helpful with suggesting things off the menu to get the best value for money. A little chilly in the restaurant in the back booth by the door to the toilet. There was a short cold draft. But other wise we will definitely be back!
This place is a gem and I don’t understand why is it so empty. The food is amazing!!! We got the paella and the lamb, and the lamb is so tender and delicious. And the baklava!!! Is really a standout!!! Do visit this place, it’s an underrated gem with delicious food and lovely people.
There were 16 of us and for a small suburban restaurant we were impressed!
While we waited for our food - because it’s freshly cooked - we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.
The food was all delicious and very reasonably priced.
Car parking is not a problem either
Highly recommended
Great time and yummy 😋 Food.
Thank a lot Simo .. keep it up.
Best for all,especially Middle Eastern.
Absolutely amazing!! Our group consisted of vegans (us) and meat eaters and everyone loved it! The atmosphere is adorable and comfortable and the food is delicious. I ordered the samosas and olives. My husband ordered the Berber couscous. And I had the Moroccan mint tea. They even gave my 2 year old some complimentary veggie fritters and she loved everything. I was blown away by the kindness, hospitality and great cuisine. If I lived in Christchurch, I would eat here everyday!
Great food
Great atmosphere
Worth the money spent
Very homely
Not an item i would not recommend on a menu 😊
We have loved this place for a long time. But they were particularly exceptional when we had a big party of 18. The service was wonderful and the food as always was absolutely delicious! Well seasoned, tasty and wholesome. This is an absolute favourite place and I highly recommend!
Always a great place to eat. The food is so good. Different with a lot of choices. Our favorite.
Our friends had the share platter which was unbelievable to the eyes and the taste didn’t disappoint while we had a lemon chicken wrap combo
We have been here many time over the years but last night was a highlight
We were going to the Court theatre and they made sure we had our meal quickly
