Adriatic Food Bar is a fish and chips takeaway located at 98 Glengarry Road in Oratia, holding a 4.6 Google rating.
A proper local fish and chip shop is built on fresh oil, crisp batter that stays crunchy on the drive home, and well-drained hot chips. Regulars heading out towards the foothills of West Auckland know that timing orders just ahead of the Friday evening rush guarantees fish cooked straight to order rather than sitting under a heat lamp. Asking for crumbed rather than battered, or seeing how cleanly the batter fries, is usually the quickest test of a fryer running at the right temperature.
It serves as a convenient stop for locals and travellers passing through Glengarry Road in Oratia.
