An Auckland woman has slammed a West Auckland restaurant after she discovered staff had identified her and her friends as "Asians" on her receipt.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told Stuff she was disappointed by the incident at Falls Restaurant & Café.

A receipt for iced coffee, ginger beer and iced chocolate, referred to the group as "Asians" - something the woman said was racist and appalling. She said she and her friends were born in New Zealand.
