The food was fresh, hot and reasonable tasting but a little bland for us personally... Roast without gravy just didnt seem right for us and would have enjoyed it more if the lamb had gravy with it (as we expected it to). Filled the tummy...at least and the service was friendly too!More

Ordered online. Lamb , as always, was beautifully tender, but significantly smaller than last time, so didn’t go as far.

I cannot rate the friendliness of ordering and quality of food highly enough. They always go out of their way to accommodate late orders, people like me not following instructions. Top, effortless customer service is rare … but these guys deliver!

Ordered lamb shoulder which came with potatoes and sides of peas and coleslaw. It was yummy. Lamb was well cooked - succulent and the skin was crispy. Served 3 hungry adults perfectly. A roast without all the washing up😊

There were 3 of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and there was enough left over to feed 2 smallish eaters the next day. The lamb was tender and the potatoes generous. We also ordered the peas and coleslaw. Peas are peas but the coleslaw...was delicious.More

Had a grabone voucher so went with my mother . Had cinnamon toast with maple syrup and bacon/banana. Busy wee place and food was yummy. Would have liked to have the maple Syrup in a jug to control the amount on the meal however this...is an easy fixMore

My family went to the Riverside market in CHCH on the weekend where there's a small restaurant. My daughter ordered the Lamb and Bravas. The lamb was re-heated in a plastic dish in a microwave and in full view. The Bravas were cooked correctly in...oil.. Having lived in Barcelona and Mendoza for many years this is simply a rip-off for the portion size and blatant execution or lack of. We paid $16.00 for something that was worth $10. There's nothing authentic here folks...tiny take away box. Move on.More

I would rate higher if I haven’t had this before. Lamb was much smaller portion than it used to be. Full of very watery bland roast potatoes...so disappointed...It used to very good.

After Lockdown, we wanted an excellent Friday night takeaway. Beautifully cooked lamb joint with potatoes and baguette. Enough for four. Easy to order and pick-up. So good, so convenient. This is a must try. We will be regulars now for sure!

The lamb was amazing at Pedro's. It is take out, we took it to our hotel and had picked up a salad to go with. The lamb and potatoes were divine! Cut the lamb with a fork. Seasoned well, potatoes so good. I am salivating...just thinking about it. Enough food for two nights! (Two people) Highly Recommended!!More

Pedro’s House of Lamb provides some of the best lamb we have ever tasted. This is basically a take-away – although there are a few tables to eat in. There are just a few choices of lamb-based meals. We chose the shoulder of lamb with...potatoes for NZ$ 50 which was more than enough for 2 of us with older – people’s appetites, but would be a good filling meal for 2 younger people. The lamb was tasty, perfectly cooked and just fell off the bone. Slow cooked, I imagine in the style that the Greeks call ”Kleftico”.More

Outstanding. Best lamb dish. Ordered the tray of lamb with potatoes and was more than enough for two. So had leftovers for next day. Coleslaw is out of this world. Lamb was falling off the bone. Potatoes were soft and heavenly. Everything was juicy and...delicious. Also tried Pedros in Queenstown but this was far better. The lamb was bigger and tastier and they also served large coleslaw.More
