Derby Square in Takanini Town Centre offers shoppers some of the best entertainment and dining mix in South Auckland.
Since its official opening in July 2024, new food outlets and entertainment retailers have established a presence in the centre, making it a destination that appeals to the whole family.
The latest restaurant to open its doors is Square Pizza, which serves Detroit-inspired deep-dish square pizzas with a local twist.
The dining precinct includes newly opened Indian cuisine from Rutba, the wide variety of food available at The Good Luck Club, and Thai restaurant Rak Khun. Artisan gelato outlet Sparrow & Sweet has quickly become a local favourite, while The Blacksmith neatly complements the offering as Takanini’s only fully licensed gastrobar that hosts bands and DJs.
Popular authentic Korean chicken restaurant My Fried Chicken is set to open a store at Derby Square in the near future, building on their growing presence across Auckland and providing customers with further choice.
Jan Walker, Asset Manager from Colliers, says the broad mix of dining options is what sets Derby Square apart as a premium destination.
“Derby Square has been carefully curated to ensure it sets the standard as the best food and entertainment precinct in South Auckland. Each dining option has its own unique selling point for customers, creating an outstanding offering,” Walker says.
“There is considerable variety among our existing operators and with My Fried Chicken set to open, every taste is catered for.”
While the food is enough to draw any local to the centre, the GameOn Arcade offers visitors the chance to play classic arcade games or get involved in immersive attractions. There’s also laser tag, a bowling alley, karaoke rooms, and party facilities that will suit a range of ages.
For those wanting to see the latest films, they can catch a movie at the state-of-the-art Silky Otter cinema that provides guests with a first-class experience, including luxury recliners and a specialty food and drinks menu.
There is a public square, playground, and free space for events, making this a central point in the local area that is tipped to grow rapidly throughout the next decade with an expanding population and surrounding housing developments.
