Marigold Eastbourne is a takeaway on Rimu Street in Eastbourne, Lower Hutt, holding a 5.0 Google rating. A good local takeaway earns its keep by doing a few things well: food cooked to order rather than sitting under a warmer, portions that match the price, and service that starts to recognise regulars. The surest sign of a good one is who's queueing on a Friday night, and it never hurts to ask the counter what they would order themselves. Expect a short wait at busy times, usually a fair trade for something freshly made, and it is worth asking what travels well if dinner is heading to the beach or the couch. On Rimu Street, in this seaside corner of Lower Hutt, Marigold is the kind of walk-up local a suburb like Eastbourne is glad to have.
