1/613 Great South Road, Manukau City Centre, Auckland 2104, New Zealand
A decent spot to catch up with friends or colleagues. The food is just okay, but their shishas are absolutely top-notch, with a great selection of flavors to choose from.
Favourite restaurant in Manukau ? Food is always hot & fresh. Side salad has an amazing amount of dressing & is not bland like other places I’ve been to. The dishes are full of flavour & the servings are so generous. If you order via Uber Eats - the quality is exactly the same as dining in ❤️

Thanks Adam for making us feel welcome and foir your 1st class service. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend ?.
If you’re looking for a spot in South Auckland that delivers bold Mediterranean flavors, laid-back vibes, and a complete dining experience, Eastern Grill in Manukau is one place that absolutely deserves your attention. Tucked away in the heart of Manukau, Eastern Grill offers much more than just a meal—it’s an experience. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the grilled meats, and baked bread instantly whetting your appetite. The menu is packed with Mediterranean staples and crowd-pleasers. Whether you’re after a plate of crisp falafel, or creamy hummus paired with fresh, fluffy pita bread, you’re in for a treat. Their lamb is a standout—slow-cooked, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, wrapped in soft flatbread or served over rice. The chicken skewers are also incredibly tender, and the garlic sauce? Smooth, garlicky bliss. But what really sets Eastern Grill apart is what it offers beyond the plate. They have a relaxed outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying the warm evening air with friends or family. The vibe is social and unpretentious, making it a great place to hang out for a while. Adding to that, Eastern Grill serves alcohol, so you can enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine alongside your meal. And if you’re after a more chilled, social experience after dinner, they’ve got hookah (shisha) available in a range of different flavors—a popular touch that really brings out that traditional Middle Eastern lounge vibe. Whether you’re into fruity flavors like grape, mint, or apple, or something more exotic, there’s something for everyone. The staff are friendly, attentive, and more than happy to make recommendations if you’re not sure what to try. Service is quick, and portions are generous—great value for the quality and quantity of food you get. Whether you’re catching up with friends, going on a casual date, or just after a solid meal in a relaxed setting, Eastern Grill delivers on all fronts. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately add to your regular list.
Came here for a birthday and might I say it was an amazing time. From the delicious food, to the chilling atmosphere, I’ll definitely be coming again. Adam was and is an amazing server, his passion for service truly shows through his work. P.s - make sure to get a cocktail made by him, as he makes some very yummy drinks especially for the girls who love a pretty but strong drink ❤️
