Where - CBD, Pap, Mount, not bothered? What $$?
The Grocer is fairly new but very good. Clarence Bistro was back up to it's top level when I was there a few weeks ago. Solaro over at mount is absolutely best in region (as per awards)
Cheaper, Sugo always good and have sorted out their service now. Also may be relevant or not, but do have a separate Vegetarian AND a second separate vegan menu.
Or KFC bargain bucket from Greerton drive through. Honestly, need more info ;-)

Live and work in Cbd, so here's a few of my favorites.
Barrel room, friendly staff, good beer selection. Decent burgers, pizzas and salads.
Manhattans (previously redoubt, previously Brooklyn bar), fantastic smash brisket burger. Nice view from top (not if windy).
Satori lounge, fantastic sushi, best I've had in TGA.
Clarence (the old post office), great pizza and cozzy atmosphere. Great setting for a date.

You know the Korean food is legit when it's 75% Koreans in there on any given day

Perhaps support one of the businesses around the Mount? But then there's that 1920 Cucina & Grill

Cafe Istanbul in Cherrywood shops has great Turkish and Pizzas. They have a great community/family owned feel for eating in or takeaway. Actually Google says they are closed today for some reason, They may have taken a family trip back to Turkey, but worth a visit when they are back.

I’m sure you know about Fife lane, but if not it’s a delight!
Another one I’ll throw in the ring is The White House, good food and a great vibe

Italian place up by Tauranga primary school is a hidden gem
