My first review since after lockdown. We stopped here during our basin walk. The restaurant was empty (2nd day of Alert Level 2). Had to wait a bit for service. We ordered the special BLT Buttermilk Chic burger. It came with nicely fried crispy chips. One of the better coffees too. The male server was pleasant and friendly. Would visit again. A good place to stop when doing the Orakei Basin Walk.
great tasty chicken, quick & easy.
Great local, casual, pretty healthy eatery. Prompt, friendly service, reasonably priced, good selection of salads and the chickens delish. they’re on Uber eats too which is great for a lazy night in
Had the feed for 1 and it was such a good deal - 2 salads, chicken and bread. The chicken was delicious - perfectly cooked and seasoned. I had the potato salad and the tabbouleh salad and both were yum - had to take leftovers home. The bread was a little dry though. cute and funky place!
The food was very nice and healthy. And if you’re like me and enjoy a bit of spice and good flavours then this place is worth trying. Buttermilk fried chicken ! Yasss👌🏽
I've was here once a few months ago and while the food was good, the service was inattentive and sporadic. I returned here last week and the food is still good but the service is now top-notch. My waitress (Cristina?) was an absolute joy; friendly and she was knowledgeable about what items my friend who has a peanut allergy, could eat. We were very impressed with the service this time! I had the katsu burger deal, with an Asahi beer and it was perfect! Coffee was good and strong and the outdoor seating area was sunny. Highly recommended if you're in the orakei area.
Great service. I love the food, very well done and a variety of options to choose from. I always enjoy coming back for more. Would definitely reccomend.
Went to bird on a wire for the first time and had high expectations. And those expectations were met. Our server was friendly and gave really food suggestions. We had a light meal with chicken wings which was delicious, juicy and not too spicy with the Korean sauce. Fries were crisp and seasoned well. Friendly staff, good food and close to public transport.
Love this cafe, and the one in Ponsonby. Beautiful chicken based Asian/thai fusion style salads and rolls, love the Bahn Mi. Always fresh, tasty and friendly service. If you like chicken - you must try it!
The Parnell Rose Gardens are just a stone’s throw away from my house. A favourite spot of mine during summer for its beautiful roses, Pohutukawa trees and close proximity to Judge’s Bay and views overlooking Auckland Harbour. A bonus is that you can lunch right next to the roses, making it the perfect spot for a picnic! Thanks to the Uber Eats app for making this possible!
Last weekend, the weather had cleared and the sun was shining, so my sister and I headed across to the Rose Gardens for a picnic. I opened the Uber Eats app on my phone, and was excited to discover the many eatery options available for a picnic. We chose Bird on A Wire. Their aim is to simply feed the world with handmade and sustainable food – their menu includes free range rotisserie chicken, fresh salads, sandwiches and sides. Sounded like the perfect picnic food to me!

Came here with our dog and sat outside. Staff were friendly and service was good. Chicken and the salad were tasty and the price was good for what we had. Will definitely return.
A great addition to the area!
Staff were friendly and the design of the place was very cosy.
Bird on a wire always does their chicken right and this place was no exception. Chicken was perfectly cooked and had just the right flavour.
The potatoes was a bit odd, the outer layer was very chewy and the flavour wasn't quite there. We also tried the pate which was nice but nothing special.
Still a great place to dine especially for chicken lovers!
This place has great and healthy food. Many options for vegan food. However the price is a little expensive for what you get. The portions are quite small. The actual food is delicious and fresh and tasty.
Soooo good! 🤤 Never tried bird on a wire before but saw a groupon voucher for their food so decided to try it. We each got a 1/4 chicken with fries and salad which cost $24 for two people (using groupon voucher), $12 each. My chicken was so tender and just really nice. But my friend said hers was a bit dry and not as tender/juicy. But that may be because I got the thigh and she got the breast part of the chicken 😚. The chips and salad were good too. I don't really like heavy flavours so this was the perfect meal for me (it fit my taste preferences) 😊. The only thing is I was still a little hungry after finishing the meal and wanted more...but my friend said she was very full so 🤷🏻♀️. Personally, I think I should have gotten the 1/2 chicken meal instead 😋.
I definitely think the Groupon deal is really worth it ($12 per person for two people!!) but don't know about the other food on their menu.
Definitely will be back to try their other stuff 👍🏻
Good options for dietary requirements with items Clearly marked as gluten free, dairy free etc. Really lovely to sit outside on a sunny day. The rotisserie chicken is delicious. I had the chicken feed for one which includes salad and bread and is pretty good value for money. My partner ordered the fried chicken and was a little disappointed with the serving size (pictured) for $15 but said the taste was good.
The food was pretty good however the service was so slow! Our table of 3 waited for at least 45 mins for our food to come out. I would come back for the meals because they're definitely tasty but the service needs to be improved.
Had the Korean BBQ baguette, went expecting it to be quite expensive though was quite surprised that it was very affordable and the baguette was also very good.
Nice new clean place. Food is ok but would expect a bit more from a place that specialises in chicken. Good quick turn around on getting food ready for pick up and delivery
Didn't realise this place was here! Had tried to go to the Takapuna branch a few months ago but had to leave due to a fire alarm and never made it back. Popped in for lunch with a friend. Very attentive service. Not too busy so didn't feel packed in. We both had large salads and pulled chicken which were yum but will definately go back to try the other options. The table next to us had a whole chook and trimmings.... looked so good!!
Apparently this outlet is quite new. Food was delicious, tasty. We ordered Chicken Feed for 2 for $30. Also, we can choose up to 3 salads, that's great. Service was attentive, and friendly. However, maybe 1 of the servers wasn't quite used to the system here. The owner/manager has to remind him constantly. Something seems odd is no heater was in sight. Just wondering whether someone would sit outside after dark. Maybe they hide the heaters somewhere. Hahaha!
We had takeaway that was scheduled for 6:15 and it was smack on time, the service was great and quick. I had the hot wings and the buttermilk fried chicken definitely the best chicken I had had at a restaurant ever it was so delicious the hot wings were very nice they had a small spice but mild on the most so if you don't like spicy things but still want hot wings that is for you. The butter mill chicken was so good it was like KFC but 100 times better and guilt free!!
Called into Orakei Bay Village for an opening special Thursday 13 April 2017. This BoaW opens 8 am Good Friday 14 April - looks awsome. Thanks Sophie Gilmore. OMG the chicken is delicious. Restaurant Brands should be very worried. And the Hapi is a great match. The salad bar at the takeaway entrance looks amazing colourful.
Ambiance 10/10

Great hospitality. Very considerate for dietary requirements. Lots of chicken options from burgers, bowls, sandwiches, etc. Kids menu available. Had the Korean fried chicken burger myself and it was great! Would definitely recommend
Great little extension to the Bird on a Wire franchise, offering really interesting chicken dishes in a welcoming café environment. Offers great chicken meals from rotisserie chicken to more sophisticated dishes. Try the new Katy’s Curry Chicken Burger, superb.
Open all day and throughout holidays, Bird On A Wire has a solid little brunch menu that allows some leniency on the chicken motif. Go for any of the robust egg options from interesting takes on Eggs Bene, to the buckwheat pancakes. The bold will try the fried chicken on a waffle with mascarpone and ice cream option: Bird On A Waffle. Excellent, if very, very filling!
The staff make this place though from quick and courteous service, to more realistic personalities than your robot waiters of fine dining.
Go here and enjoy sophisticated takes on all chicken dishes, it’ll be worth it, even if you bloat yourself on the waffle!
We ordered the “Bird on a Waffle,” eggs on toast, and a couple of coffees. The food was really amazing.. especially the bird on a waffle! Delicious!
My only complaints are the loud music from the gym next door (though not this eatery’s fault) and to be completely honest my coffee was subpar.
But everything else including the atmosphere of the little place was just lovely!
Over all food was good but wish their chicken was a little more juicy. Presentation and service top notch.
Chicken was cooked to perfection, such creative flavours! Loved the Korean flavoured chicken. Service was excellent, thank you to the lovely young lady lini who served us and made sure we had everything we needed :) only complaint would be that your sign outside isn’t big enough we almost could not find the restaurant
Fantastic service with great staff - I was given a glass of ice water (without asking) while waiting for my takeout order. The classic baguette is delicious & I definitely recommend it.
First time trying bird on a wire the other day. Dined in with my partner the restaurant looks amazing! The staff are great especially the young pacific girl who served us I think her name was leenee? she was fabulous 🥳 we were very impressed with her service even with the restaurant being rather full. Food was great portions were a good size for the price. Anyways we will definitely be back again thank you young lady 😅
Very fresh fried chicken and delicious burger! Nice snack stop on Oraki walkway!
Have been to this beautiful joint 3 times now including today for my birthday. Always great food and hospitality from staff from when we arrive and leave. Food is has always been excellent all time’s I have come! I have not had a bad experience or time here. I love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere they give here. This place is one of my favourites and I’ll always come back to enjoy a great meal. Also thank you to the staff today for singing me happy birthday and the lovely cheesecake 🙂 see you guys again soon. From “The Waffle Girl” haha.
Ordered a whole roast bird and two salads to takeaway visiting a friend with baby in hospital. Catering for 3 and we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. It was well packed for catering and easy to manage. Came with bread to a total of $62, so that is roughly $20 per person for dinner. Pretty good deal! Little hard to find for the first time but there are parking and will sure to pick up a lot of business from the neighbourhood.
We were out with grandparents and our 9 month old baby and the team at Orakei Bird on a Wire looked after us beautifully. Our waiter was so warm and friendly with our little baby and it was no problem to defrost some baby food in their oven. The menu has a great range of options including gluten free, dairy free and all the rest (so long as you love chicken) and kept everyone happy.
Fantastic option for a quick yet extremely healthy meal on the go. My Gf and I left nothing on our plates at all.
