She came like a wind and took my bowl away.....
food was good as always. To be honest, the manager did offer me a replacement which i really appreciate but it was really awkward to have my bowl taken away without even asking. I could see my naan watching the curry bowl sink (like it was thrown in the sink within seconds)
Certainly the best Indian food to offer in NZ.
Cheers

Been here a couple of times now.. food is always delicious and staff real friendly. Opted for the $55pp restaurant month menu last night and left so full and satisfied. Awesome dinner and will be back.
I really enjoy the ambiance and service.
But food is okayish.
Cocktails are amazing though
Fabulous cocktails and even more fabulous staff (except for the lady server who might be having a bad day). If you are feeling adventurous on your drinks, definitely try out the cocktail range and you won't be dissapointed. Highly gram worthy
Went for a catchup dinner with friends and we ordered the chilli chicken, butter chicken, lamb chops and the paneer and just all loved every dish! So full of flavour in every bite! Will definitely go back to try some more. Highly recommend!!
A great place for amazing occasions. Staff super friendly and on point. Keema pav was jus wallah kya baat kya baatđ well it is really tasty. Cocktails a must try amazing and different. Way of presentation so eye appealing. Trust me I have to say you eat food here with your eyes first.
One đ down for me as I personally didn't enjoy the Dry Goat Curry. Music was ok and me and my friend's thought that the price for dessert was just over the top.
Yes but I should admit that over all you definitely get a smile on your face. Good Work team 1947 Eatery.
Really nice place. Amazing food as well as drinks
Nice food service was ok good selection on menu and not bad price not the best Indian in akld but up there
Whatâs not to love about this fabulous restaurant. I have been there many times and tried few cocktails from menu, ambience is great and food is amazing.
Amazing food, great attentive staff and lovely, chilled atmosphere.
Felt for their vibe as soon as we step in! Outstanding services along with decent dishes! I wanna have their curry fries again! It was soo good!! Would definitely come back for more! âŁâŁââââââââââââââââââŁâŁâŁ

Best butter chicken in Auckland! Service was really friendly too.
Attentive staff, clean environment and amazingly good quality food! Couldnât have asked for anything else. A must try for anyone looking for authentic flavours and knows the difference between an average mass produced dal makhni and slow cooked dal makhni!
An contemporary restaurant specializing in Authentic Indian food. The lovely lighting creates a great atmosphere for an intimate dining.
The menu is designed to share between groups.
Started off with some Okra Fries and Samosa Chaat. The Okra Fries was crispy and appetizing. The Samosa Chaat was nice but not very memorable.
Ordered the Lamb Chop and Chicken Tandoori. The Lamb Chop was excellently flavored, very tender and wasnât greasy at all. The chicken wasnât boned, but was tender and excellently marinated.
They have the best Naans Iâve ever had. Their cheese and garlic naan was amazing, super fresh, layered with a bit of crust.
The Dry Goat Curry, Lambada Chicken and Eggplant Curry were also very nice and matched well with the naan.
Attentive and friendly waiters with great attention to detail.

The naan bread here is a must. It''s probably the best naan I've had. I also love their chilli chicken. The butter chicken was a little too sweet but it was creamy and heart warming. Curry fries were pretty interesting. Friendly service, cool menu and very nice interiors. Love the candle and free peanuts on the table.
Best tandoori I've ever had
Came here a while ago with a few friends. Itâs a nice big space but intimate setting as they have the mood lightening spot on here. I ordered the fish curry, it was okay but nothing great so Iâd try something different next time. The service wasnât the best as the waitress obviously didnât know the menu that well, but she was new so itâs understandable.
This is the second time I've visited 1947 eatery. I don't know whether or not is because that the first-time charm had worn off, the experience were not as good as the first time.
The atmosphere was just nice as always, and the staffs were helpful. HoweverïŒthe food had disappointed me.
The lamb shank was tender, but too bland for my taste. The dahi kabab were nice, but the portion is way too small for its price. And the naan was just average, for $4 a piece, you'd expect better, I've had better naan at takeaway! However, the only saving grace is the dry goat curry, which was delightfully flavorful. And the cocktail was nice, too.
Overall, I would say that the place is still great place for your Indian cravings, but just don't buy into the hype too much.
1947 has quickly become my go-to restaurant, they've got every bit of the experience on point, from the welcome to the food and the drinks.
The staff are attentive, polite and really knowledgeable about the food and the special drinks/cocktails on offer.
Some may think that it is on the expensive side, but I would say that its money well spent and you wont even think about the cost after you're done dinning.

Another decent place to dine in CBD area. Small portion for a starving man. Approximately $30-40 pp for lunch.
WOW! I could not fault a single thing about this place, the atmosphere was great- social but also intimate at the same time. The staff were super friendly and had a lot of knowledge on the dishes.Â
We were recommended the Dahi Kebab, which was absolutely mouthwatering. In addition, we ordered the Curry Chips which is a definite must when visiting 1947, best "loaded fries" you'll ever have in your life, and the Paneer Lagan, this curry just melts in your mouth and the flavours are so balanced, we ordered the Cheese/Garlic Naan bread, and that perfectly tied everything together.
Honestly enjoyed every aspect of this meal.
Not a fan of indian food but this place has changed my mind! Food and service was top notch. Interesting cocktails and stunning decorations. Was deeply in love with the food that forgot to take some photos :)). Will be back!
The best curries we have had in a while, accompanied by some amazing cocktails. Served peanuts to snack on whilst waiting for mains. Lovely decor and great vibe!
Nice restaurant ambience, great service, the curry chips are a must try and the bang bang butter chicken and the lambada Chicken are really tasty. Good portion size, great place to go.
Loved the slow cooked Lamb. Great location.10 on 10 for ambience. Friendly staff. The only bad part is the long wait to get a table. But once you get in, its worth the wait đ
A great place to enjoy traditional Indian food and also with a twist. The curry cheese loaded fries were amazing, perfect to share between two people. The chilli chicken was great, though not as hot as we expected(had 3 chillies rating on the menu). One of the best butter chickens I have ever had and the nicest naan bread. Will definitely come back and maybe not order as much food as very filling.
Love this place! Came as a surprise birthday dinner.. 27/04 We only had a starter and a main with rice and a roti, since there was more to follow. :D The chargrill chicken was totally on point, charred just right so the chicken was still super juicy while slightly crisp on the outside. The dry goat curry was equally good. Only wish we tried more including the cocktails, the bang bang butter chicken, lamb shank and chicken biriyani!!! Next time!
This place is an absolute gem. The concept behind the restaurant is lovely, and the authentic food that it delivers is sensational. My particular favourites are the dry goat curry and lamb shank. The service here is also great. Some times when itâs busy the food can take awhile to come out but itâs worth it!
They served some amazing chilli chicken dishes and their menu is really versatile whilst still holding onto some of the traditional Indian dishes. The service was great and all the servers took such great care of us! I was sooo full so definitely didnât have any room for dessert but we left satisfied and was so happy with everything we ordered.
Great birthday dinner for my partner!! Lovely homemade ginger soda nice kick start to dinner. The food is amazing really tasty and well flavoured . We had the tandoori lamb chops they were the stand out though u do have to wait for any tandoori for 20 mins before curries , so while they are worth the wait and we were told of this order snacks if ur hungry. The mains were a fish curry and the peppered lamb both were delicious. We got a roti one the side but for me it was a little too crispy but needed with rice for the yummy curries sauce. Staff are super helpful when explaining the menu and very attentive though we did get ask five times while eating if we were good which is a little too many times .would head back hear in a heartbeat to try more food!!

Yesterday we finally got to try out 1947 Eatery. I love Indian food and the reviews for this place looked really promising. I found the ambience of the restaurant very pretty, warm and modern. You can see that they took great care of the interior but also of the little details such a the menu cover. The menu is not extensive but has plenty of options from entrees till deserts and serving different tastes and diets. However, the food is pre-prepared in the morning and there is no room for requests or small adaptations. I asked if I could have a curry that was marked as medium spicy in a mild version, which isn't very difficult to do, but this was not possible. Also, we always prefer to have the entrees coming together with the mains. In every Indian Restaurant we have eaten, this has never been an issue. But, at 1947 Eatery this was not possible because entrees take less time to finish than the curries??? To me this is simply a case of not be willing to bother and to be honest a lack of customer service. The food itself was good. The entrees were very tasty, the curries were just average. The malai kofta was very rich in flavour whereas the paneer in the paneer lagan was way too soft. The breads and sides were ok. The staff in front office was very friendly. All in all I think the restaurant is nice and the food is good but looking at the complete experience and price in my opinion it is overrated. There are definitely better (and cheaper) Indian restaurants in Auckland. If you don't mind a bit of a drive I would recommend Raja's in Botany Downs as a great alternative, free parking, delicious food for almost half of the price or Mehmaan in Howick which is also really good.
The cocktail is way too pretty and tasty as well. I was coming with my Indian friend and the food she ordered are so nice, itâs really change my mind about what Iâm thinking about Indian food!!
Never a disappointing meal! The samosa chaat, chili chicken and Bade Miyan are all our regular orders here. Value for money and flavor. Service is also on point.
I wanted to go here for so long and when I did it was part of a big group. The food was gorgeous, even with a set menu, they catered for all our dietary requirements, the staff were amazing. Can't wait to go back!!!
Food: 5/5 (like way high 5)
Service: 5/5 (impeccable!)
Ambience: 5/5
Love the food here, it will take you back to india. Romali roti, fish and lamb curry is my fav :) excellent ambience and right in the centre of the city. Parking is a problem though as itâs not free. Good Quantity can be a bit high as it seems to be very low for the price..just my suggestion.
Some days all you need is a good curry. Iâd been craving one for weeks, so suggested Indian food to friends for a catch up when I was back in town. To be brutally honest, I wasnât sure what to expect with 1947. However, I was blown away! The ambiance is soft and lovely, the staff are welcoming, and little touches make the end to end dining experience super pleasant. My group had a selection of cocktails/wine, nibbles, tandoor items and dishes from the pot. Everything was flavourful, thoughtfully presented and interesting. I felt as though food I has tried before was being served in a new way, and I liked it! Will be back on return to Auckland to work my way through the rest of the menu, and try another cocktail.
Based on my recent visit, this place was a different experience. The way the menu was explained and how quickly we were served despite being busy was fabulous. Definitely will visit again.
Dined here on Monday night (27th May). Party of 12 for our mum's 70th birthday dinner. Fussy eaters and three vegetarians. The food was just wow! We had the famous curry fries, chili chicken, lamb chops, tandoor prawns, paneer lagaan, etc, etc... every single dish was delicious. Marry that with impeccable service and a wonderful evening of celebration was had by all.
The cocktails were amazing and the kids were well entertained watching the barman work his magic. Everyone is still talking about our amazing time at your establishment. We will no doubt be back. Thank you for making our mum's day all the more special.
Excellent Indian restaurant. Very nice location. Paid parking is right at the front. Only few steps away from SkyTower. Excellent ambiance, good service and very tasty food.
Tucked hidden in Federal street of Aucklandâs CBD is this wonderful Indian restaurant which I can safely say on of the best Indian restaurants Auckland has to offer. When you come in and get seated everything will be explained to you even where they got their name, 1947 will be a year most Indians would know but for those who do not know the Indian History it was their year of independence.
Great place to enjoy Indian style fusion food. Very unusual style of serving drinks but no regrets as all the drinks that we ordered were unique in their own way. The ambience is just perfect and I'd surely recommend you to experience it than read about it. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Overall it was bit expensive but a great experience. Thank you team 1947 Eatery for your warm hospitality. Cheers đ
Today we had our mothers day celebration here and it's the first time we have been to 1947 eatery.
I have to say that the service was exceptional. Right from the time we stepped the place to the time we left we were looked after and our server was polite, helpful and very attentive.
On those grounds alone I give 1947 a highs score.
But then you taste the food and it's amazing. They have captured the flavours of India lost in so many other Indian restaurants and take it to the next level.
Being mothers day they even honoured mums with a little takeaway gift of a bottle of masarla. I just feel like they went above and beyond to make the experience special.
I would happily recommend this place to anyone and go back here myself.
If I could provide one piece of feedback it woukd be that the portion sizes could be slightly better. The food was delish.
Amazing food and service! We were taken to our seats promptly, water was brought and the menu explained.
For 2 we ordered a Mango Lassi (and another non alcoholic drink), lamb chops, butter chicken, goat curry, cheese+garlic naan and a bowl of basmati rice. The Mango Lassi was aromatic and thick, perfect level of sweetness, and the crunchy toppings complimented it well - very authentic! The lamb chops were smokey and tender, and the sauce gave it that extra burst of flavor. The masala chips on the side were a bit too hard for my liking. Both butter chicken and goat curry were very flavourful and the meats were tender, especially the goat which fell off the bone easily. The butter chicken tasted more like an NZ version (was sweeter than some more authentic ones Ive had) - still delicious though. The Naan was not overpowering with the cheese and garlic so complimented the curries well.
It was $90 for two and we couldn't finish it, so the price is quite good, especially for a date night.
Went on a Friday... very busy and I can totally see why. Had the lamb shank Nihari, lamb pepper fry, kachumber salad and a peshwari naan. Only one word to say âexcellentâ food, tastes, great texture, flavour and portion sizes. One of the factors that influence my assessment of a restaurant is the number of natives from the cuisine visiting the restaurant. 1947 had tons of Indians dining just confirms the quality of food. Will visit again !!
Polite and friendly staff. He gave us a brief intro on the year 1947 and it's importance in the history of India and about their food. We visited 1947 for lunch and we ordered lamb chops for starters, chicken lambada with butter naan and chicken biryani. Yes, it takes patience to wait for the order to arrive,but they do inform you in advance how long it might take when they take your order, according to the dish ordered.
Coming to our order, lamb chops from the tandoor was melt in mouth, soft and tender meat and very yummy! We loved it. It was the best of everything we ordered. Chicken lambada was mild and yet tasty. Very soft naans to complement the curry. However, i personally felt that the chicken biryani was an average dish for the given price.
Loved everything we ordered and our waiter was very helpful! Highly recommend trying the Curry Chips, Wannabe drumsticks and Lamb pepper fry
Loved it at 1947. The food was amazing and was so good to be having such good Indian food in Auckland. The staff was very friendly and liked the ambience too. Would definitely recommend reservation cause this place is packed even on a weekday.

I went here recently for lunch with some friends, and to be perfectly honest, I had not heard of the place, but I am very pleased that I now know about it! It is tucked away on Federal Street, quite hidden to be frank. This place is one of the best Indian dining experiences I have had and want to go back to have more recommendations and try their absolutely delicious looking cocktails!
The atmosphere of the place is very on trend with a rather industrial/cigar lounge aesthetic, still with touches of its origin of cuisine. It even has an old school Indian Tuk Tuk sitting in the entrance! Otherwise the interior is very modern and simply a nice place to be with a warm ambiance. The place is also very conversational with no awkward looking tables which is a must for all eateries.
The food here was absolutely incredible, we ordered a range of things to share which is perfect for Indian cuisine. All dishes that we ordered were winners, which were: Malai Koftas, Lamb Pepper Fry, Chilli Chicken, and the Bade Miyan Chicken. The standouts for me however, were definitely the Lamb Pepper Fry and the Chilli Chicken. But I have to say most of the menu looks and sounds delicious and needs to be explored. I can't wait to go back and further investigate this menu. The drinks also look incredible, I haven't the honour of trying them yet, but I definitely will.
The staff were friendly and the service was efficient, but I am yet to see this place in full swing when the numbers are high and the staff are reeling. But I definitely get the impression that this place will cope. I am not quite sure why but another winning aspect of this place was the water vessels, which were tin instead of glass. I don't know why but I really liked this as the cups were quite ornate and it made it feel a little more relaxed and comfortable.Â
Overall, I will update this review with more recommendations as I don't expect my view to change. But I cannot wait to go back and that speaks a lot about a place. For me I think it is in the top 4 Indian places to eat in Auckland. The atmosphere is modern and conversational, the food is delicious, the staff are friendly and it oozes a sense of a well organised and popular place.
Expensive but you get good value of money. Very good environment, friendly staff. Exceptional menu, couldn't get lamb shank nihari in two trips, have heared a lot about it, biryani is good and other curries are good as well. The best is the presentation.
Great atmosphere, service and food. If what you're after is a decent North Indian western dining experience - I would highly recommend this. The two of us way over ordered - butter chicken, goat curry, garlic naan, raita, and a cucumber salad.. oh and we started with the butter chicken fries with butter sauce and cheese. The portions were generous. It was all delicious - order what I did if you cant decide. Thanks for a great dining experience.
Went here for dinner last night and was my first time there.Gotta say the food is amazing from the starters to the main course..The lamb chops,malai korta,curry fries and the garlic nan bread was my favourite.I would reccommend this place..deff would go back..

First time at this Indian eatery, pretty nice decor which is quite modern compared to many eateries out there. Friendly staff and attentive. Came here for Sunday lunch. Ala cart choice, we ordered chili chicken, goat curry, mayan curry with cheese, garlic and butter naans. Their chilli chicken is really tasty and naan is really soft and freshly made. Authentic and delicious, priced higher than the usual Indian eateries but worth the quality.
I have eaten at this restaurant a couple of times with a group of friends. The food is delicious, one of the best indian I have had. The dishes are good for sharing and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Went for my wife's birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Staff was friendly and food was authentic. I just clicked one picture of wannabe drumsticks but we also had chicken biryani, chicken chilly and rumali roti. Oh boy thank's for getting rumali roti in your menu as I had it after a long time and it was perfect. I loved all the flavours in our food as it was genuine. Cheers..
Heard a lot of positive and negative things about the place so planned to visit it for the experience. We did a booking for 7 pm on a weekday and reached the place 30 min early as 1947 does not have its own reserved parking and finding a decent/cheap parking in the city is a task. They were very welcoming and took us to a table of 2. We requested to change tables and they accommodated us . Food was different and authentic. Place was almost packed and staff is very attentive. Chili chicken is a must try. They do have a desert menu of 3 dishes which I couldnât find on the website or Zomato so I have added in the picture. Not a good place for clicking pictures as the lights are dim. Overall a good experience. P.S If the lady staff with the yellow glasses and stings could smile more.
Went there for the second time and wasn't disappointed. Excellent service as well, thanks to the waiting staff to let us know that there will be a slight delay in order and keeping us informed as there was a technical issue in the kitchen, but even then, it didn't take that long for the order to arrive. Looking forward to going there again and trying out other dishes.
Wow this place surprised me. Amazing Indian food, amazing cocktails. Very nice ambience. Had a staff gathering here and everyone loved the food. The curries were amazing and my fav was actually the cocktails. The dessert were okay but would not recommend if you are not used to the special taste of Indian desserts
Great cocktail! Great food! Great service! Will come back again!
Came with some Indian foodie friends, pretty good for what you can get in Auckland CBD!
We had lamb chops and the curries are generally good!
1947 is the other Indian restaurant I love in Auckland other than Paradise. It's kinda fancier than Paradise, but it still has a pretty casual and relaxed environment. Perfect for a date night.
đ„ We got the lollipop chicken, cheese & garlic naan and the butter chicken. Highly recommend their naan, really soft and flavourful. Their butter chicken tastes kinda different, it has a more authentic taste.
đž They also have some really cool cocktails. So far, only tried the popcorn one. Never would have thought popcorn would go really well with alcohol đ
Finally tried this place out!!!! Amaaaazing! Well done Areeb and co. I will defs recommend this place to friends and family. I will def be back sooner rather than later!!!
If you are in New Zealand you must not miss this place foodies.. Last night, we a group of five n a toddler visited the 1947 Eatery in Auckland City for dinner and I must say it is one of the best Restaurants serving Indian cuisine in Auckland... Worth spending every penny , beautiful ambience, very friendly staff and super delicious food ...
So we started with some Cocktails n Mocktails ( different flavours but special ones) .. had Chilli chicken n wannabe drumsticks for starters, Chicken Biriyani, Butter chicken, Butter Naan n Lamb Pepper fry for main course. The Butter Chicken was the main highlight and a must try.
Rating : 5/5
The curry chips were delicious and so was the tandoori chicken. Wouldn't say the butter chicken was the best I've had, a little too sweet for my liking preferred the goat curry to it. Service was good and the staff were attentive and friendly. One of the few Indian restaurants I'd go back to!
Amazing food would highly recommend anyone looking for a place for a nice dinner. The chilli chicken was the favourite thing we ordered. A very cozy environment. Would have loved it if our server were to tell us more about the freeing of India, other than that a great experience
Visited this place on Christmas 2018, was actually surprised to see it open. The food was really good, we ordered a couple of starters and dal makhani and paneer lagan in main course. All the dishes were perfect. They give you roasted peanuts(in shell) while you wait for your food, which keeps you busy. They had a surcharge of 20% that day since it was Christmas and a public holiday which I felt was a but unfair, hence the 4 stars, else it was one of the best Indian meals I had in NZ.
An Indian giving a rating of 5 star to an Indian restaurant outside India - It has to be absolutely terrific and that is what this place is. Unfortunately I couldnât click the pics as I was there on a business meeting. We started with street samosa chat which was like the chat from old Delhi roads. Followed it up with daal makhni and malai kofta with some garlic naans. Daal makhni was so good that I couldnât stop raving about it and even complemented the people that it is just like how it is cooked in a kitchen in Punjab! The ambiance is fabulous too with the right amount of lightings and nicely laid out tables. If in the mood for Indian in Auckland CBD- donât look elsewhere.
Best authentic Indian food in Auckland! My recommendations would be the biriyani, kheema pav and dry goat! Their chaat is fab too! Been there multiple times and every time the service and food is great.
Parking was ok lucky we found one right outside the restaurant but it is paid. Nice environment and I would recommend with family. Great staff and awesome service, very fast, yummy food and drinks. Just didnât like the fact we were on the table for 1 hour and waiting for our next meal and was told we need to clear the table soon as itâs booked after us, not something I normally get told when dining. I would expect they want us there longer so we order more food but instead told we would have to move to another table if we spent any longer. We were waiting for our last meal so itâs not our problem if it took longer and itâs not nice to move to another table while eating. Lucky that didnât happen otherwise that would have killed the whole good experience we had. Iâm sure itâs assumed to be a fancy Indian restaurant and not a fast paced diner. Other than that I would recommend to anyone who wants to go to a fancy Indian restaurant in town.
Absolutely amazing spot to get the most authentic indian food in Auckland (maybe even New Zealand). The ambiance is nothing like your average indian restauarant, its a dark and classy joint. The prices are a bit higher than expected but 1947 makes up in the quality. Knowing what authentic indian food tastes like, 1947 hits the spot, especially on their lamb chops which are cooked to perfection and the spice is on point!. The butter chicken fries are also an item that I'd recommend. The service is quick and the staff are very attentive, absolutely love this place!
Iâve heard of this restaurant a lot and I went in with high expectation and they did not fail me. THE BEST Indian food Iâve had in Auckland. And the cocktails are AMAZING. Itâs an all-in-one restaurant. The customer service was just as good. Highly recomended. A MUST Try if youâre in Auckland. Thank you guys
This place is right in the city hub and easy to locate. The ambience is quite good and the service is prompt. I didnât face any major issue but a few misplaced orders. The food is good but expensive. Being honest I am new to Auckland and I missed Indian food and this place came to the rescue.
Awesome venue and complimentary peanuts! What more do you need? Started with the rack of lamb tandoor with masala chips. This is a must try and didnt last very long. Main was butter chicken which was very good but not outstanding. I would look at other mains unless thats all you know.
We arrived at 1947 as a group of 7 with no booking, and lucky for us, it wasn't a problem at all. The service was wonderful, the ambience of the restaurant was dim and quiet (my favourite). The food was delicious, I had the samosa chaat and the tawa chicken and thoroughly enjoyed both. Will definitely be back again for a date night :)
Had a great time at 1947 trying out some delicious food with a bunch of friends. Did a pre-booking just before an hour and luckily got a place on a busy Saturday night. Was served by a very friendly staff, Steff. She was fun and friendly. The food was served a bit late, but keeping in mind of the alacarte menu that they have and the whole lot of things that we ordered,it was obvious. Food was delicious and value for money. Would recommend others looking for a 'fine dining' experience with Indian Food.I'd actually give them a 4.5 (ambience was great too)
Very nice place. Ambiance is awesome. Food is delicious. Loved the Pav bhaji and Soup.
Staff is friendly and service is good. Recommended.
I personally like the rickshaw standing in hotel that reminds me days of India âșïž
Best place till now in Auckland. Inside it's very beautiful loved the atmosphere. Food is best here delicious just loved it the service was also excellent perfect place for datesâ€ïž
Woahh!! What a place!! Food and drinks both proper authentically cooked and served. Fresh and delicious. A perfect place to recharge and refresh from your daily schedule. Cheers đ»
Decor and ambience is the best here. Fine and fun dining experience. Simple and good menu. Very cute staff, service quick and food great. Lamb pepper fry was the hero of the night, bade miya chicken was average, lollipop chicken was nice and peshwari nan too sweet
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I called for a reservation for a Saturday night as i couldnt get my preferred spot online and the person who answered the phone was able to accommodate our group at short notice, after learning that it was for a birthday celebration.
5/5 star rating for the ambience. Modern but the old school detailing (hangings, cutlery holders, glasses, serving dishes, etc)gives it its charming feel.
4/5 star rating for the food and drinks. Absolutely DELISH!!! We started of with the lollipop chicken and curry chips. Highly recommend the curry chips, a very nice indian take on the western loaded chip we get at the pubs. For mains we had the Bang Bang Butter Chicken, Lamb Pepper Fry, Bade Miyan Chicken, Biryani and assorted naan breads. Loved the theatrics behind the biryani covering. Highly recommend the Lamb Fry, was deliciously tender and melt in your mouth. The naan bread was also amazing, soft and without the heavy hint of yeast, that i have experienced at other restuarants.
4/5 star rating for the service. Our servers were very attentive.
Best curry/service/ambience Indian restaurant in auckland, hands down. We have been visiting fine Indian establishments every month for the last 3 years, and 1947 was outstanding. Special thanks to our waitress Steffi who made the experience that much better. We will be back next round
Had an amazing dinner here on Friday night.
I would definitely book well ahead of time as we could only get a table for 9pm.
We had an incredible waiter for the night. It was only his 4th day but he was super friendly and helpful.
We started of with curry chips and the chili chicken. The chili chicken was amazing, however there is a very strong garlic flavour which some may find overpowering. For our main we had the bang bang chicken which was also yum! Unfortunately I only got a photo of the chili chicken.
For drinks, I had something which had 'shelter' in the name and it was delicious!
I would definitely come here again.
I like the atmosphere of this place and been there many times. There daal makhni with rumali roti is perfect combo. Chilli chicken in best. I love their cocktails. My personal favourite is Long Island and cold blood.
We came here for a work lunch and was referred by our colleague. The restaurant looks great and atmosphere sets the mood. The staff were friendly and quite attentive to our big group.
We ordered samosas and masala tea and they were absolutely amazing! Just a burst of flavours in your mouth, definitely recommend getting these. For my main, I ordered the chicken biryani and that was yummy too. The serving was more than I can eat (since I was full after the samosas and the tea! :) ) and felt bad leaving leftover. The rice and the chicken was so full of flavour, had a mild spice with it but tolerable for me. Next time Iâll share with someone else.
Definitely recommend this place, it was a lovely hearty meal.
The best Indian restaurant in Auckland in my opinion. Great food, full of flavour and decent portion sizes. Great price points and a very creatively crafted food and cocktail menu. Good for both big groups and intimate dinners. Staff are always lovely and service is pretty fast even on the busiest of nights. Love this place!
This place Iâll rate 4.5. The food is prepared with thought and authenticity. Every single bite was to die for. My husband and I shared each meal (unplanned) just to share every experience. It was beautiful. This place should be ranked amongst the top 50 for sure compared to their peers in the same cuisine category. The service was less attentive than expected but the meal made up for the distraction. Beautiful!
We kept on walking past this place and today we popped in here mid afternoon when It was semi quiet...
Nice service ... big place yet even if it is busy itâs spacious.. nice restaurant with good bar too.
We ordered all the bites except breads:
Street samosa chaat
Spiced corn
Curry chips
Lollipop chicken
Also:
Lamb chops from the Tandoor
Garlic naan
Deconstructed samosa has lovely flavours and was really nice.. curry chips OMG yum.. chicken and chips were both very nice..
Great restaurant and food especially if you go with a big group then you can try more dishes as they are generous.
Very nice cocktails too.
Had #ChickenLollipop with schezwan sauce dip after soo long! #1947eatery What an amazing place this is... Just reminded me of India especially their authentic taste in every dish and the effort they have put in their presentation, service, ambiance & welcoming staff đđ» Would definitely recommend this place anytime if you are craving some North Indian food à€Čà€Ÿà€à€”à€Ÿà€Ź à€à€Ÿà€šà€Ÿ full authentic style then go to 1947 à€à€à€°à„
We also tried their Kakori Kebabs and their Dum Biryani.
Jalebi Rabri for dessert
Masala Chai was on very strong and authentic though their food presentation, service and staff are awesome!
The ambiance is also very cozy and the fact that their staff are very kind and educate customers about Indian cuisine and about 1947 was a very innovative style .
It is one of the best Indian Restaurants that I have come across. From Amritsari Kulcha to authentic butter chicken, the food and ambiance stole the show. However, we did have an unfortunate incident of finding a piece of cling wrap in Chicken Biryani but the manager made up for it by providing us new two biryanis and desserts on the house. The Chef was extremely friendly and apologized dozen times for the mishap and made up for this incident. Extremely good food, best staff that I have across in six months and beautiful ambiance. Highly recommended. Cheers :)
We never get bored of their menu. Their chicken in the tandoori menu are the yummiest of all! We had the tandoori fish for a change (pictured) and it was nice, but the chicken is still on the top of our list LOL. If you are a thirsty fish like me. The longest island ice tea is a must have to start your meal with! I also tried Gulabo from their mocktail menu & it was surprisingly tasty. Even though the drink was mixed with black pepper. It tasted deliciously refreshing. And don't under estimate the traditional Masala Chai. It doesn't just taste great, it also served in the cutest tea pot ever (pictured)!!
Best food and even better cocktails in town. Make sure you make a reservation before you go there and must try their chicken lollipops and chilli chicken
Best Indian food I have ever eaten in New Zealand. The restaurant ambience is of a canteen in Mumbai but still maintains to be classy. The staff is very welcoming and gives great suggestions on the food.
Do try their âChilli Chickenâ its the best. Also the service is very fast. So you dont have to wait for too long to receive your meal.
Its a little bit costly compared to other Indian restaurant. But its totally worth it.
I had heard about 1947 from a few family members and even my uber driver!! So naturally I was eager to try it out! It is hidden on the quieter side of Federal St and well worth the visit. I love the decor of this place with the little tuk tuk at the front. I went with a friend who is pescatarian, and there were plenty of seafood and vegetarian options for her. We loved everything we ordered, but the tandoori prawns were unreal! To top it off, the cocktails are worth the splurge, I had the pink lady which was equally beautiful and delicious. The service could use some work, we had three different waiters and got a bit confusing. However, definitely check out 1947 for some delicious, authentic Indian food.

* SORRY DON'T HAVE PHOTOS*
1947 Eatery is hands down one of my favorite places to go to in Auckland for some great Indian food and cocktails!Â
My frequent visits aren't complete without ordering there delicious Curry Fries and the Bombay Mule! The Curry Fries is an Indian twist to the classic fries, topped with a delicious curry (vegetarian) and melted cheese (absolute fav). The Bombay Mule is an Indian twist to the classic Mojito!
The food overall is delicious, the last visit I wanted to try some new things so IÂ had ordered the Dahi Kebab, which my taste buds didn't fancy :( It had a weird texture, and it wasn't served with any chutney or any other condiment.
The tandoori menu takes about 20-25 minutes to make, so I avoided that and went straight to the mains!For mains, I had ordered the Bade Miyaan Chicken, which was really yum! It was filled with flavors and was good on the spicy level. The chicken was cooked well, and the pieces were the right size and the curry was yum!
We had also ordered the Paneer Lagan which just amazing. I've never had such soft paneer dishes at restaurants, and the paneer would just melt in your mouth! Definitely enjoyed the mains!
The quantities of the dishes were a good size, I'd say one curry can be shared with two-three people.
There's a good range of bread and naans - we opted for a garlic naan and tandoori roti, which were crisped well.Rice isn't served complimentary with your curries, and the quantity of the raita was very small.
The service that night was really good, they were really packed, but we still had waiters/waitresses coming up to frequently and making sure we're doing okay and if we needed anything.Â
The lighting is a bit dark, but it adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. Love the rickshaw at the front of the restaurant and the other elements in the restaurant making it a banger!
Overall a great experience every-time! My only concern is that off-street parking is limited on Federal Street and the closest parking lot is SkyCity.
Iâd come here just for the curry fries - theyâre amazing!! The cocktail list is also fab and creative.
Iâve tried a few things on the menu and the only thing that didnât really excite me was the deconstructed samosa. A great spot for tapas and drinks
One of the best Indian food restaurants in the city, with an authentic flavour. Really good service and hospitality from the staff. Would recommend Indian food lovers to visit the restaurant and try anything from the menu, you would love it.
I love Indian food and was really excited to try this place out.Â
Food was amazing - enjoyed everything we ordered. Food highlight was actually a recommendation by our waitress - the Pav Bhaaji - so tasty and a really good mix of flavors and textures.Â
Excited to come back!
I went to 1947 with my husband and friend as this place was recommended by a colleague of mine. Firstly, we were greeted well by the staff. The ambience is also great. We ordered the Bade Meiyan Chicken and Tawa Chicken for our mains. They were quite tasty with just the right spice and flavours - Iâve been to a few Indian restaurants in Auckland, and this is actually the best Iâve tasted. A big ups to the team at 1947 :)
Magical and enchanting. I had my heart set on this place and it was worth it. The 1947 Eatery was everything it promised. The atmosphere was great, the food was marvellous and the cocktails were unique. I would most definitely visit again and try some of their other dishes. Until next time. Gabriella
The butter chicken was fantastic, naan breads are freshly cooked, the starter of fries covered in butter chicken sauce and melted cheese didn't sound that appetizing but they were amazing. Goat curry was really good too - never had goat before so was a bit apprehensive at first, but will order again. Can't wait to go back. Service was good, nice happy people serving.
This place had the best service I have ever seen in such a long time, tasty food which is served hot and not luke warm and the ambiance was outstanding. Highly recommended for a great night out!
Found this place via the Entertainment book. We ordered the Lamb Pepper Fry and Malai Kofta as the mains. Pleasantly surprised, we thought it was rather good. Tasty and smooth, with lots of meat. With the naan and rice, it was more than enough for both of us and we decided to take home what was left as we couldn't bear it go to waste. Worth going back some time.
Food was amazing.
We shared the malai chicken which was a decent portion and very tender
The butter chicken was really good lots of chicken, but nothing special about it
The naan and the samosa were both the best I have ever had definitely a must try
Setting and atmosphere was 10/10
Service was average and slow. I waited at least 15mins for my glass of wine. My 2nd glass I had to order at the bar because no waiter or waitress was serving us; after several attempts to get their attention
The business, the bees knees. Best way to describe the place/experience. Highly recommend it. Nothing to fault. Don't forget to order a long Island ice tea. #ForTheReaction
Delicious modern Indian food with an awesome cocktail menu. The Curry fries are a must try! Great attentive service too. Will definitely be back
Quite a hidden gem along Federal St. Good vibes and ambiance, the lighting set up a cozy mood for the customers. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Served us peanuts and water while waiting for our takeaways. Their Goat and Chicken Biryani was so far the best I have tried in Auckland. Price range $22+ but worth the price.Well done, would come back for more!! One happy customer â€
Delicious authentic food , ambience is fabulous..Chicken malai tikka is my fav, worth it. I cant resist myself to go again and again.
Best service and friendly staff.
I recommend this place to go if you want authentic and mouth watering Indian food.
Really happy with the meal we had here. After attending conference at Sky City Convention centre, this was a short walk away. We were very unfamiliar with the menu - there was nothing familiar ( tikka, masala, butter chicken etc), so we took a punt and were pleasantly surprised by all the items we ordered. Nothing was what we expected, but everything was delicious. Bread & Dip, samosa (deconstructed), chicken, all delicious. The only negative I have would be that we asked to sit in a booth, but were told they had all been booked, but while we were there from 6.30 til almost 9pm, 3 of the booths had no patrons occupying them.
Thanks
A great indian resturant! Restaurant its self was buzzing with warm lighting and great atmosphere. Staff were really attentive. Food was amazing, very flavorsome and presented well. Cocktails were also amazing but pricey as cocktails are! If you love Indian food would defiantly recommend this place!!!
First time here, mum wanted to go somewhere different (other than paradise), heard good things about this place so why not. Staff here are great, waiter gave us a good run down and the waitress was great, cracked a couple jokes here and there which was great. Food amazing, one of the best butter chicken dishes I've had, the Bade Miyan chicken was also great, the Biryani was different (appearance wise) and thought it was delivered to the wrong table but once going through the dough lid, it was very nice. The drink I had was called 'Charred Night', loved it. Overall a great experience, I'd definitely dine here again, thanks for the experience.

We heard good things about 1947 and missed the outing here with our mates a few months ago as we were overseas , nonetheless we managed to get here to try it out. First of all itâs tricky to get parking around the area unless you park at sky city which is not too far away and note the Carpark opposite the restaurant is not for the public , we managed to find out around the corner after a few rounds the block. When we arrived we were suggested the couches which had low tables or the tandoori high round table but were luck when thereâs a spare high table and chairs by the window become available as we were deciding . It took forever for our food and drinks to arrive and when the tandoori chicken finally arrived , we waiting again for the rice to arrive and also our drinks / wine to turn up. After the other main dish curry chicken with egg & garlic naan arrived , it was all gravy and we couldnât finish it and waitress kept coming over to clear our dishes and asked how our meals were which we replied it was great ! Overall a nice experience with local Indian diners too but the food could arrive at the same time as the rice and naan rather than waiting for each one on a piecemeal basis, also drinks can be served a lot quicker as well . We understand it was a busy ish Sunday night but we will be back !

Indian Food finally meets "Freedom".
In the western world Indian food is associated with cheap take-away style Curry Houses. At best it is a cheap eat with greasy, cream laden, sweet so called Curries
That is what makes 1947 different. It has stayed true to its root yet not shy-ied away from being modern, either with the dishes, presentation or taste.
The starters are tasty, authentic and classy. So are the mains and cocktails. There is a competition going for the home-made G&T. Try them out, you may even be lucky. The service is great, Arandith was exceptional. God Bless him
Dont be shy to seek Freedom, try 1947, you will love it
The ambience of this place gives you an authentic indian feel. The lightings and interior is pretty comforting and the service is good too. I would highly recommend the Malai Chicken because it is the best Malai Chicken I have ever had in my entire life. This sentence might seem over exaggerated but honestly I tried ordering the same dish when I went back to India but trust me, nothing tastes as good as this one. It probably is a bit expensive as you only get 4 medium pieces in $16 but you should definitely give it a try irrespective of the price. This is something you just can't miss!!!
Great ambiance, great taste, freshly cooked and really amazing selection of food. Customer service is 5 star! Highly recommended. Music was also calm and relaxed. Not the typical type which pushes you to leave sooner. This place will make you feel home.
Been here twice, and enjoyed the food both times. I was pleasantly surprised with the tandoori salmon I ordered the last time - it was really flavourful and tasty, and not spicy so for those who like Indian flavours bar the spice, Iâd definitely recommend this dish! Ambiance is really good with nice dim lighting and decent music
Words canât describe how much I fell in love with this place. Everything for me was perfection to the tee. The ambience felt like I was actually in India .. and the food just complimented it to the fullest. Yes it was the other way round here. The tandoor section is just lip smacking tasty. And donât even get me started in the Jalebi... havenât had one so distinctly streetwise until now here in Auckland. If you love India and all about it ... please please do not fail to give this place a second glance on your way down federal street.
This is definitely one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Auckland.
I love the 1947 theme and the mood lighting. The servers are some of the friendliest people that you will ever meet, who are genuinely passionate about their food.
Although on the pricier side, I strongly recommend their cocktails. They deliver a punch of flavours, as well as theatre.
Food wise everything Iâve tried here had just been amazing. Their cheese naans were super soft and buttery and loaded with stringy cheese. Their popcorn chicken and masala fries are great for sharing. And their mains are absolutely show-stoppers. I loved the butter chicken - it had huge chunks of tender chicken, the sauce was rich and creamy, and definitely had a huge kick :) And the price of the food was surprisingly reasonable for what you get!
The perfect place to visit for a good time over dinner and drinks.
Dine in after work here ! Staff are really amazing seriously! Well knowledgeable when it comes the menu , and it catches everyoneâs attention iâam very impressed to my server i forget her name but she got the curly hair â(ooops!đ) the ambiance of the place is fantastic value for money yes yes yes!! Tandoori chicken, presentation of the chicken biryani , cocktails and the desserts is amazing i will totally comeback to this place 1947 the independence day of india , so happy i came here after my world war at my work place
Absolutely Awesome!Decorated with 1947 Indian theme with a rickshaw to welcomes you, clean and quiet with friendly staff serving authentic Indian food in less brighten lights. If you want to try Indian food, this is the place with delicious taste. The food is creatively less in quantity, however the quality you will not forget. Honestly, you want to go again for that exclusive taste you have in the serene environment.Recommendation: Start with Chilli Chicken.
Would definitely recommend this place. Food and ambience Really Good. Best thing is that they donât add any Food colour. Would highly recommend trying their Carrot pudding and Currie Chips. Overall we had good time and it was worth spending $$..
Food was awesome, I would say best Indian food I have had in my 17 years stay in Nz. However was not impressed by the sitting arrangement, there were 13 of us , in spite of booking early we were given a cabin like closed sitting area with no aircon which made it hot and stuffy . We had to wait for the food for long time which made the experience even worse. My advice keep the closed dining area for smaller groups and leave the open dining area for larger groups like us. Still giving you 3.5 even though food was awesome, the food service and sitting arrangements put us off .cc

Tried 1947 Eatery for dinner today. The decor is really cool and does give Indian 1947 vibes. They also have a cool rickshaw(four wheeler in India) I find the food was good. The prices are a little more towards expensive side given that the portion sizes are smaller. However, we were sharing the food. If youâre individually ordering your own dish the portion size is more than enough. The taste is authentic and they didnât add any colouring to it since thatâs their theme. However, the butter chicken was still sweet. Haha! You canât change that anywhere in Nz. We also ordered Pav Bhaji, which is not in the pictures but the Bhaji(curry) was so less compared to the bread(pav). The goat biryani was covered with bread on top it which was pretty cool! My only complain would be that the portion sizes are small and the they should maybe increase the portion for bhaji in pav-bhaji. Other than that, the food is delicious and the service was excellent. :)
A fine dine and a pleasant ambiance. The place offers authentic Indian taste. Staff is quite friendly and generous. I had a cough so I asked for something hot cocktail and they served me a brandy with warm water which actually helped me to sooth my throat. We ordered chilli chicken which was by far the most delicious we had in Auckland. The choice of cutlery is quite unique - especially it was nostalgic for us. If you are a fan of Jalebi Rabadi then donât miss the dessert menu! We felt lack of rabadi, however, it was mouth watering. Of course, the place is expensive but itâs worth it if you admire good food!
Service was great. Food was great. Ambiance was great. Everything was great. Definitely coming back here to try more on their menu đ
I recommend calling in to book a table because they can be busy.

Amazing place with amazing food, amazing presentation and service. It was my 1st time at 1947 and I loved it. So as soon as I entered with a friend, I was welcomed by the staff with a smile and made sure I felt comfortable. To start of with they handed me the menu with some kurkure to munch on while I decide what to order. I found that very unique and impressive. My friend decided that she wanted to have pav bhaji but I was still struggling to decide what to order as I did not want to order any main course because I wasn't that hungry and the staff made sure they gave me my space by not approaching again again and gave me time to decide. I finally decided on keema pav and coke and the glass they served me coke in was so cool. I had enough kurkure to munch on till I got my food and after it arrived on my table I was a little disappointed by looking at the quantity for paying 14 dollars I guess but when I had the 1st bite, I understood that its worth the money. I am from India and trust me I have eaten keema pav at a lot of places but finding such amazing keema pav and that also in Auckland just blow my mind. The staff did ask me in between if the food was fine and if I need anything. I wish I could express how much I loved it and same goes for my friend who had pav bhaji. Well she's been here before and suggested me this place. Usually she's the Queen of bad decisions but this time she was right. I don't usually write reviews as my writing skills are not the best but this place definitely deserved it. Will visit soon.
Went for my birthday dinner with Nabeel Deen and did not regret it. From the service to food.. everything was amazing. We had the naughty aunty mocktail, mango lassi, chefs special lamb, malai chicken and cheese and garlic naan. All was perfect. Great experience and would recommend to everyone. Will surely be going back soon!
The ambiance was great and the staff were extremely friendly but I thought the food was good but not great. Had the Pav, the spicy corn, and peppered lamb. The Smokey cocktails were quite tasty and I would definitely go again if I was in the area but wouldn't make a special trip to do so.
Great service. The chicken was real dry and tasted more like what you normally get in a Korean restaurant. Paneer Tikka was great. Cocktail was $23 for two but I think the extra cost went into the two glasses it came with. Butter naan = amazeballs!! Paneer tikka + chilli chicken + 3 butter nann + one rasberry mint cocktail jug + bottle still water = $68 đ
Visited couple weeks ago in November. Like the ambience and interesting story around how it came into existence. Quick service. I would have loved to see some more options on the menu. Overall great experience and would recommend for special moments.
Loved the ambience...vegetarian friendly...one of the best Indian foods to try..delicious dahi kebabs. Paneer was a bit hard for our liking. Overall worth visiting and great service.
I visited 1947 eatery last night for the first time and the service and food was beyond my expectation. The curry chips were definitely my favourite, I also tried the chicken biryani and it was very delicious. Can't wait to come back again and try out the rest of the menu :)
Went here for the first time with some friends. Was happy about the service. really nice friendly staff. Food was amazingly good. Tried the curry chips and chilli chicken and loved it. Had butter chicken and was soooo happy. The only thing I found odd was that the rice had to be ordered separately as it wasn't included with the curry but I found it overall really good.
Damn!! Definitely the best Indian food in town. The service is just amazing and very welcoming. The ambiance is just there to make you feel like you are in a luxury Indian restaurant. The chicken tikka masala is a must try
Great customer service and extremely friendly staff. The food didnât take too long and the cocktails were amazing!! I would definitely go here again

This is one of the most family-friendly yet good-youthful-social-vibe place I have reviewed till date. With a location at the heart of the city and internal design and ambience to be top notch, I genuinely enjoyed the service that I was given (that too on a Friday night!!)
We ordered the Mango Fizzer and White Lies mocktails (great tasting) as well as Lamb Seesh Kebabs, Vegetarian Manchurian, Vada Pav, Dhaal Makhani, Butter Chicken, Bhengan Bhartha and Butter Naans. The food took itâs time, however before ordering, we were explained to by an amazing German waitress that the food is authentic and fresh so only made when ordered, hence why it may take time. Not only did we finish all that we ordered, we in fact ordered more for takeaways! Unfortunately I missed taking some pictures of the mains.
The price was actually quite worth it considering the portion sizes of the dishes!
I was slightly disappointed that the kitchen closed at 10pm on a Friday night in a location based at the heart of the city (opposite the Sky Tower) and there is a very rare chance to find on-street parking.
All in all, you can expect to see me back here again! This is my new favourite Indian restaurant in town!
My first time visiting 1947 and I had the best experience. I tried the Tandoori chicken, it was smokey and delicious; the lamb pepper fry was rich with really tender bits of meat and the 'wannabe drumsticks' were a perfect apatiser with generous portions for a starter. We had really good service to top it off. Will definitely be back.

been here few times recently went here ordered Vada pav, Malai kofta with Rumali roti and salted caramel lassi.vada pav was tasty however the amount of chutney in vada pa was too much which made my pav( bread roll) soggy. Malai Kofta was delicious, soft and fresh. rumali roti was hot and soft when served. Salted caramel lassi is must try. overall it was a good experience and worth money.
I had the pav bhaji here and its was really good. Quiet ambience and clean place. The service is good as well as the people. The lighting needs a little work on it. Overall ill give the place a 4.5 as i thought the place still needs work on it.
Completely wowed me. It has very authentic flavours and outrageously tasty, the staff are also really good and so is the atmosphere. Very good value for money as well. I must say it is the best. Very much worth it.
This place is simply amazing absolutely loved the food that has an authentic flavour in every dish that I've tried here... the ambience and vibe is so unique & creatively thought of ... good collection on the food menu.. the hospitality of the staff & management is brilliant & very attentive ... and their service is real quick ...I highly highly recommend this restaurant if u visit Auckland ... this is the perfect place if you are looking for some authentic Indian food ... loveeee it đŻThankyou ...
Came here for dinner and the super friendly staff made us feel very welcomed. The ambience & vibe at this restaurant is quite warm and positive.
Starters-
âą Chilli Chicken: Amazing taste and very well cooked.
âą Chicken Lollipops- Super disappointing. Overly fried with no dominant flavour.
âą Grapefruit, rose & mint drink- Absolutely had no taste and just tasted like soda water. Would definitely not recommend!
Mains-
âą Butter Chicken- An authentic taste and flavour but however I felt like the chicken was off.
âą Lacha Parantha & Rumali Roti- Very well made! Soft & flavourful.
Dessert-
âą Chia seed Rabri Falooda- A very flavourful & delicate dish. Loved the taste!
The presentation of their cocktails is exceptional. Nice Indian restaurant with good food and vibe. Service a bit of let down otherwise a favourable place for casual dining .
Must try: Cold blood cocktail
Came here for a friends birthday, I didnât know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised!! Everything was perfect, couldnât fault anything. The service was immaculate (and patient with a big indecisive group!), food was cooked fresh from order as we were briefed at the beginning of our experience, and the atmosphere was cool yet inviting. Our table all had a big helping of the curry fries - basically chips drenched with a buttery curry sauce and cheese - SO YUM. The cocktails are also a must - I ordered the Longest Island Iced Tea, and they didnât disappoint, it was huge. Worth a visit, definitely dining again.
Nice in taste give authentic indian food. Good place with good concept and good service i have visited many time every thing is perfect every time so keep it up guys
Came here for a bite after work and being the only customers there at the time was a bit strange, as what followed was nothing short of great food and informative service. The dry goat curry made to order was absolutely fantastic, visions of how tender that goat was still visit me to the day, chicken malai was excellent smokey flavours to follow with a punch of spice and aroma! Lamb biryani was not to my tastebuds how ever my friend quite enjoyed it and if you were well into fragrant and spiced rice I could see this being an enjoyable dish as well. Salted caramel lassi! Boom! That's all I have to say about that one, do not let yourself down by not ordering this drink
Went for dinner today with my friends, we all being Indian enjoyed the fabulous explanation of the restaurant and it's history in detail that too by a foreigner for us, her name is Lena. She just made everything special for us right from the start she explained the culture of the restaurant and the way in which food is prepared in the restaurant. She made sure everyone is happy by the food which is served by asking everyone how was the food and do you like it or no. It was the best experience we'll come back soon only to get served from Lena!!!
I went to the 1947 eatery last night and i m usually not a big fan of indian dining.. but this one will change your mind. The menu is not big but there are selected options to choose from.. some of the best selections of food from metro cities of India. The chilli chicken was the best I had so far in New Zealand. Rumali roti is a must try aince no other Indian restuarant offers it. Beautiful food, elegant ambience super friendly staff. You will be looked after well.
The food at  1947 is out of this world, the staff and service really enhance this experience to another level. This restaurant has a fun and laid back vibe. The staff all make jokes and are ready to smile and take care of you wherever possible. They are all genuine people who clearly love helping make your experience all it can be.
Yes it is little expensive, but I would not hesitate a moment to go again, this isn't just about eating a dinner it's a full dinning experience.The quality of food that they provide is worth spending your money.The textures, colours and flavors were something I've never experienced before. Each dish was highly individual and superbly put together. Very original in most cases and not to mention delicately constructed. We are planning to head out there again, definitely.
1947 eatery one of the best place to hangout with friends. You will get high standard service with classic appetisers.
A must go place in town.

Saturday evening 7pm
Food 5/5
Service 5/5
Atmosphere 5/5
Flexibility 0/5
Great place from when you step in the door. Servers know the menu and are very helpful.drinks are great.some cocktails even come with dry ice for theatre. The fit out and and styling is very cool.
The servers explain that everything is freshly made from scratch and can take a little while to prepare. They are very attentive and constantly fill your water while you wait.
It is a little unclear whether they take bookings. Over the phone they insisted they never do. First thing they asked when we arrived was whether we had a reservation. When I asked about this apparently they were very busy that evening and decided to take bookings.
Other thing is that the menu says they will do their best cater to intolerance or allergies but there may always be trace amounts. In fact the chef is not prepared to vary the menu for any reason. At all. So if you want to change the level of chilli, this is not possible. If you want to remove anything you are allergic to, this is not possible. They are happy to suggest alternatives but apparently any changes would compromise the taste too much and they are not prepared to compromise the taste. For me that was the bread. There was nothing else I was able to eat.
It was good bread though...
Friendly staff with very nice customer service. The foods was really nice and filling. The atmosphere was really nice and it represented the purpose of the restaurant
I would appreciate the efforts of people who have designed the whole place keeping the Indian touch to every thing in detail.
Service was Good, Food was Great.
Would recommend it to anyone who is looking to enjoy the authentic Indian food.
Best authentic indian food so far in auckland. Great decor, service and food quality. I have been here few times, the only disappointing part is to wait once you have ordered as it does take a while. Well there is a saying patience always pay off.
I would definitely recommend anyone to give a try once. A bit pricey on few items. Only recommendation is to improve the service times.
Love this new place in the heart of the city, sort of hidden in cul de sac of the other end of federal street
My ever fav is Bang Bang Chick & bharta with aperitif being bombay mule !

Love the atmosphere and vibe of 1947! Have been here numerous times for both food and drinks! Such a cool place to sit on the couches and have cocktails. Drinks were amazing and staff helped with deciding on what to try.
Food was delicious, definitely best Indian food in Auckland! Love this place đđŒ
Absolutely fantastic menu. Have tried numerous items and each one is satisfying! đ cocktails are to die for as well đ the staff were friendly and welcoming; would def return anytime!
1947 Eatery, you are what the Auckland foodie scene has been waiting for, from a Curry Connoisseur I'd have to say you're the best in town. The lamb chops to the samosa chaat, the tava chicken, the gram worthy cocktails and those glorious cheese and garlic naans. I love that 1947 caters to all occasions from informal drinks and nibbles, to a quickie at lunch time, to a full blown dinner to impress even your pickiest friends, the vibes and atmosphere are just so welcoming you could go anytime of the day. You're a game changer 1947, we love you!
Best Indian restaurant ever. Food was perfection. Good quantity and best quality authentic tasty dishes. Just WOW. Wait can be bit long as they are always busy but everything was worth the wait. And our server was very nice with good knowledge of menu and there food. Overall a 10/10 experience. Will visit again.
Food was great, flavours and time it took to come to was all good. The samosa chaat was especially an explosion of flavour. Nice atmosphere , a little dark but it seems to be a part of the theme. The only downfall I found was that when we asked to make the food spicy apparently "it alters the flavour". Although a mild experience - flavours were nice :P but not a place to get your chilli fix. Overall 4/5.
Firstly ambiance is very beautifully designed. They have a Auto Rickshaw displayed at the entrance and specially when a mumbaikar sees it draws back all those beautiful memories . Mutton biryani very nicely presented covered with a dove taste wise very authentic also chilli chicken was great. Pricing is a bit high but I don't mind as it is the quality they cater for is Top class. Specially mentioning the staff member who looked after us very nicely his name Arandhit Thanks
After wanting to go here for ages, I finally made it and I loved it! The food is free of additives and super tasty đ will definitely be back!

You are what Auckland needs! Really upping that Indian Restaurant game. Love the ambience and how nice the restaurant smells. It really shows how amazing Indian food is. The best part - an Indian eatery that does not play cheap bollywood music videos or instrumental love songs.
At the beginning of your meal your waiter informs you of a 15-20 min wait time as all dishes are made to order.
The tandoor dishes are my personal favourite along with the Chilly Chicken, Goat Curry and Paneer Lababdaar. Fantastic flavours.
Cocktails are bomb!!!! Bombay Mule, Longest LIT, Eternal Affair, Sharabi Chai - Yummmm!!!

Usually I am lazy and won't take the pain of writhing a review for restaurants, but this one is different cause finally an Indian restaurant that serves delicious and freshly prepared Indian food, not some frozen and microwaved sauce prepared 10 days ago and to make it worse on the day tossed with some meat along with heaps of cream. Unfortunately that's what the western world has been fooled into believing what Indian food is. So if you really wish to taste real Indian food, fortunately and unfortunately this is the only place in Auckland where you can get the real buck for your money.
I've been to the restaurant more than 10 times ( you can imagine how much I love the food here ) and have tried almost all the dishes. So you can trust me with this review.
All the dishes are flavoursome and very well presented. They have very cleverly put together a menu which brings the best selection of dishes, one better than the other and still suits both Indian and western palate.
The must try dishes are kheema Pav, samolina fish and lamb chops. The Goat curry and lamb shank are unlike I've ever tried in Indian restaurants and definitely my favourite mains.
For vegetarians - must try is Dahi Kababs, Pav Bhaji and the street Samosa chat. My fav vegetarian mains are Daal Makhani ( authentic Indian flavour), Saag Paneer and Malai Kofta.
To top it all their drinks are just beautiful. Very good selection of spirits and cocktails. Cocktails have a very catchy presentation. Must try - Cold blood and Bombay mule.
Areas of Improvement-
The Long Island cocktail is either a bit too sweet or has less alcohol. But the presentation was rockstar.
Furthermore would love to see more deserts added to the menu, but again have been told that they make the deserts fresh daily, hence the limited selection.
In all, undoubtedly the best Indian eatery in Auckland. A must visit. Will definitely keep visiting.
Went there on a  Sunday evening, the place was not overly crowded. Ambiance is cozy and warm. Polite staff. They give you a brief intro to the restaurant which is good for the first timers.
Tried the Dahi Kebab for first time and must say a big fan of it now. Chilli Chicken and the Chips with butter chicken sauce was a delicacy. Chilli chicken was hot as it is supposed to be and they have that rated in the menu as well.
Ordered drinks Bitter Apricot, and some lassi. All tasted real good.
Main course, had Butter Chilli fish ,tawa chicken, paneer saag. All items tasted delicious.Â
Only negative point is that the waiters doesn't seem experienced. Â They got the food before the plates and we had to wait which I think they will improve with time.Â
Otherwise all well. Will go another time for sure.
Great food, well priced, have been here with friends and then family and perfectly suited for both occasions, so far have tried eight things off the menu and yet to have something bad

So a place which was much needed to showcase what exactly Indian fusion is all about I've been here twice and totally love the ambience, the food, cocktail and everything about this place to be
I went here on lunch with my family on Saturday, me being a chicken lover ordered for wanna be drumsticks which is actually chicken lollipop for entree and tava chicken for mains which reminded me of food back home in Mumbai. The sauce went well with the chicken lollipop and tabs chicken had that bit of sweet and sour flavour which is needed in a dish like that my family members are pure vegetarian so they ordered for stuffed mushroom and Manchurian for entree which had all the flavours which was needed but if asked to select among two veg entree I would select mushroom as it had good flavours good portion size and loved the mint sauce that went with it, rumali roti was bang on and in cocktail I had ordered for Bombay mule which had that mint flavour and a suttle vodka flavour which went very well and specially in the copper glass in which it was served. Good staff who greeted us nicely and checked again and again if everything is alrite, totally loved it and would be back again definately
Keep up the good work guys
Went here on a Friday night, had a booking 5 people. The staff were really friendly they explained in detail about the menu and style of food served.
We had pretty much every dish on the small dishes section. All of them tasted great. The keema pav and chilli chicken where the highlight . Tried a couple of drinks the Sharabi Chai and gulabo, both we enjoyed.
The mains where slightly disappointing. Especially the chicken tikka masala had a spice rating to 2 chilles but still was sweet. The Onion kulcha was good to go with the curries.
Overall liked the food but its slightly on the costiler side and portion size might feel small , surely will visit again.
Went for a family dinner!! Great service and ambience! The food was delicious and was served quick ! The quantity is less for price however. Other than that its a must visit place.
Great food and an awesome ambiance. Would love to visit 1947 Eatery several times. Looking at the employees inside the restaurant it gives a great feeling that they really love to serve and are truly courteous. I enjoyed the great food. Thanks
Finally got one Indian restaurant that has goid food and great ambience. The place is well designed to hangout for long periods like an entire evening.
Where to start???
Fari, (sorry if I forgot the name or misspelled it) thank you for your loyal services. Been here for a dinner with friends. We were 5 and given a high table which we felt uncomfortable and requested for a change of table. Without hesitation, the table was changed immediately and recommendations were provided to order food.
Menu was explained briefly and ordered biryani, gravies, Indian breads, starters. Food was neatly plated and served. Taste was excellent. But the quantity could be better compared to price and other restaurants nearby. Though our gravy bowl was only 3/4th not full of gravy.
Ambience is fine. Spacious restaurant. Will revisit soon. Also recommend to others.
Thank you team 1947 Eatery, for great food and exceptional service.
i would say its the best indian restaurant in the city. i ordered the tawa chicken . it was perfectly made chicken was juicy . and service is also perfect . good concept of 1947
Wonderful food and great ambience!
Food: we ordered Spiced corn and pav bhaji for starters, both were very good. For the main course we ordered Paneer Tikka Lababdaar, rumali roti, garlic Naana nd jeera rice (curry don't come with rice). The paneer was yummy and flavours were extremely good. The Naan was soft and tasty. Highly recommend the food here. No complaints at all!
Service: lovely courteous staff who promptly took our order, the food arrived at a good time. But there was no crowd when we went so needs to be seen when the restaurant is booked. The food is reasonably priced.
Location: situated in the heart of Auckland central close to sky city. Very easy to spot
Ambience: One of the best things about this place is the ambience. An Indian style auto greets you as you enter.

Went to this place yesterday with a bunch of workmates. One of the best food & service experience (specially for an Indian restaurant) in Auckland. Most of them are so monotonous but this place is definitely class apart, the interiors are earthy toned and classy. The music and ambience is very modern so it's sets the mood well. We started with small orders of Chilli Chicken & Butter Chicken Curry Fries which was spicy & flavourful.
For the mains we ordered the Butter Chilli Fish, Tawa Chicken, Butter Chicken & Malai Chicken (I was well informed by the server that the tandoor dishes take 25-30 mins to be ready as its cooked on order) & Dry Goat Curry all accompanied with portions of Cheese Garlic Naan/ Tandoori Rotis & my favourite Rumali Roti.
Food overall- par excellent as everything was spiced perfectly, luscious and succulent meat, all out food came out hot and at the same time and i guess personally the fact that there was no colour or preservatives added in it was an added bonus.
Special mention for Izzi (hope i spelt her name right) she was our server for the night she was so friendly, well informed and the fact that al of the wait staff were so welcoming. I will highly recommend this place for Lunch and/or Dinner outing.
I decided to go to this restaurant when I saw roomali roti on the menu.... the food reminded me of India and their entree dahi kebab is a must try ... loved the serve ware ... we absolutely enjoyed the food
To start off with, please do not walk into this place. It's always good to have a reservation, specially if you're a group of people, because it's such a busy street.
Stunning ambience, amazing and friendly staff. Quick service and great food. We were about 7 people, so there was nothing on the menu we did not order. And everything turned out to be delicious. The place honestly is a little heavy on the pocket, especially if you're a group of people or family (but again it's on Federal St, I wouldn't expect any less) Some of the great dishes from our visit:
Chilli Chicken
Veg Manchurian
Lamb Nihari
Pav Bhaji
Panner Lababdar
Dal Fry (Yellow Daal)
Roomali Roti
Onion Kulcha (So Yumm)
When we arrived, albeit around 5:30, this new eatery was empty. The staff we very attentive and made some excellent recommendations. We had the Kareem Pav starter, with the Bang Bang Butter Chicken and an eggplant dish. All were incredibly flavoursome and well presented. We tried two cocktails that were different but surprisingly tasty. I can highly recommend this eatery.
Amazing real indian food ! Highly recommend the lamb chops. The staff are lovely, and the cocktails are great. Awesome relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely come back again. Ohhh and the butter chicken is perfect

I'm usually hesitant to go out for Indian food because there are few places that actually take pride in their cooking. After seeing the menu for this place I had high hopes. As a previous reviewer mentioned, this place has a small menu, which is fantastic, because it means they make every curry separately, unlike your regular Indian joints that use the same base sauce for everything.
Food-wise, I wasn't disappointment. We had the chili chicken and rava fish for starter and goat curry, lamb curry, tawa chicken for mains. So glad to finally find an Indian place that does a good fish dish! The fish was fresh and well spiced. Hands down the best chilli chicken I've ever had. All the curries were good as well. The tawa chicken has a slight sweetness to it, but that wasn't too big a deal.
Sadly the service is a little lacking here. Probably because they are a new place and are still finding their way. It took a while for somebody to take our order and refill the water. They were nice about it though and did apologize, so that wasn't too bad.
Finally an Indian restaurant that has a menu that fits comfortably on 1 page and understand the importance of flavour over convenience of eating (referring to the use of bone-in meat in the goat curry)!
I liked that each curry had a different flavour as opposed to the usual Indian restaurant tactics of using the same base for all the currys on the menu. Â It wasn't as hot (spicy) as we normally have it but then again it gave us a chance to truely appreciate the different flavours and spices that make up the curry.
The only small criticism I have is that the service needs to be a little bit more attentive. There was a delay in topping up water towards the end of the meal but overall I think it was pretty good. Oh and please try and use whole wheat flour for the Rumali roti as the white flour makes it very chewy :)
We were out of luck with the Lamb shank this time but what we did try has given us the motivation to come back with high expectations and try the Chef's special dish!
This is probably the best indian place I have been in Auckland. Superb ambience, smiling staff and good food is all you can expect in this one!

1947 the name and the interior designing says it all. It reflects the authenticity and uniqueness of the restaurant which I believe makes it the best Indian restaurant of Auckland. We booked a table for two over the phone 1 hour prior to dine in. And I think her name was Angela who made an effort to get us a table even though the restaurant was fully packed. We were welcome by a smiling staff member who took us to our table and was really friendly and informative about the menu and the wait we might had to experience for the food to come out. Saying that there was so much to look around and information to absorb about 1947 which explains the history of India that we didn't even realise when our appetisers and the mains came.
I haven't had such delicious Indian food ever. The chefs are doing an amazing job and it reflects in the food. The curries were spot on and the naan breads were so soft and cooked to perfection that I never experienced that in any Indian restaurant. For a restaurant which is new you guys rock and I wouldn't be surprised to see you being counted in the top restaurants of Auckland. Saying that there will be people complaining about the cons and not seeing the positive but just keep doing what you do coz you guys seems like a group of people who want to and will improve to be the best. Will be back again and again and again to enjoy the food and will refer you wherever I go.
Absolutely! enjoyed dining out to this much awaited and newly opened eatery.The ambience/decor is aesthetically pleasing and the aura of lights blends well with the mood of the evening.
From the menu to the preparation of dishes one can see the passion and efforts gone to ensure the authenticity and richness of Indian food flavours blended well with the creative presentation.
We really liked the service, the gratitude, humbleness and hospitality make you feel really a vital part.
No wonders you guys have become the talk of the town! :)
Heartiest congratulations to the entire team for an out of the box concept!
Already looking forward to our next visit.
Really good interior and authentic tasty Indian food. Would definitely be back and recommend this place to my friends. Staff was friendly too. Not a typical Indian restaurant that you find in Auckland
Amazing new Indian restaurant - What a unique restaurant we stumbled upon while our stay at Rydges! This by far has to be one of the most amazing Indian food experiences we have had in our world travels. The menu, to the ambiance, it was very different to what we are used to in Indian restaurants. The setup does take you back in time and everything in design has been thought of well. Great cocktails and wine list for us. We ordered the chili chicken with thin roti as recommended by the friendly female staff member. For mains, we went on to try the goat curry and the lamb shank special and they were definitely work of art. Over all we loved our dinner and cannot wait to eat here once again when we are back in Auckland!
This is one of the most authentic Indian restaurant I have been into. A warm welcome greeted us when the door opened. We were seated less than a minute and was serviced well. We ordered a cocktail drink called Cold Blood and it was awesome and was prepared intricately! For mains we ordered Dahi Kebab, Tava Chicken, Paneer Tika Lababdaar. For sides we have garlic and cheese Naan and steam rice. The dessert Gajreli which consisted of carrot pudding and ice cream were heavenly.
Special thanks to Sahil and Dimple for being our wonderful service persons. I will definitely come back here again.
I recommend trying this place, you will love it and will want to come back again. The staff is very friendly & the food was outstanding. Went first time with group of friends, the service is great, prices are reasonable, menu is extensive and the food is filling. It is a very unique place as it consists of different ethnic eateries and curries.
Don't have anything to complain about at all. Thanks !!!
Good food with good service & ambience...
Trendy restaurant with decent price....
Like the style of the menue
Rumali rotis.. worth recommending!!!!!!
Must must try Kheema pau. Amazing service. Great food :) wonderful experience. It's worth all the penny and time spent :) Highly recommended!
Food divine and love the new look however disappointed the BYOW option gone. Just love a good cheap and cheerful option at times. Food is definitely with the visit
The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. I was expecting the food here to follow in the old Indian tradition but was pleased to find the menus trending in a contemporary direction with emphasis on vintage style..Would highly recommend it ......best Indian food in Nz

An Indian gem in the heart of Auckland CBD. I went for the soft opening of this eatery last week and have to say I was blown away. The chilli chicken is a must try! Hands down the best chilli chicken I have eaten in my life. The lollipop chicken is great and the lamb chops were so tender and delicious . The pav bhaji was super tasty and the pav was soft and fluffy how it should be. We also tried the gajar ka hawla with ice cream which was delicious. The warm halwa and cold ice cream with a slight cardamom flavor, was divine. Don't forget to order a side of masala fries đ I will definitely be back again.... oh also if you like cocktails the Bombay Mule will blow yo mind đš
Updated review as at 07/07/2017 - Third or Fourth visit here and i have to say this place is consistently AMAZING. Had a group function here and they catered to over 30 people easily. The food was prepared so quickly and the presentation and flavour was great. I tried the vegetarian manchurian which were delicious this time. I would highly recommend this place for any group events, as the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are just the best.
Food on point. Drinks on point. Service on point. Ambiance on point. Great place to visit for drinks or a meal with family and friends!
The food is a standout with succulent lamb chops and masala fries on the menu I was sold.
10/10 would visit again!
Stepping into culinary bliss at 1947 Eatery. From the moment we entered we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. We had mentioned in our reservation that we were celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary. Onkar the duty manager, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.
The ambiance is a perfect blend of elegance and coziness, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable dining experience. They have an autorickshaw in the restaurant! đș
They have a great selection of cocktails & spirits, definitely try Kingfisher beer đ»
And as for the food? Prepare to have your taste buds transported to a whole new level of deliciousness. Every bite is a symphony of flavors, beautifully plated and crafted with passion.
Authentic Indian food, we loved the Dum Chicken, Pani Puri, Seekh Kebabs, Roomali Roti, Samosa Chaat & the Jalebi. Trust me, you won't want to leave! đœïžđ đđ„
Definitely recommended! The best Indian food Iâve had in Auckland!

First time trying Indian Fusion and had an enjoyable experience!
The serivce was impeccable with servers looking after their table very well! Warm and cozy ambience and feels very city night life with dim lighting of the restaurant enough to see the cutural interior design.
Food came out very fast (except the Tandoori Chicken which the waiter said would take a bit longer). Each dish blasted with rich and fragrant flavours and spice level was just enough that you would feel a mere heat.
We got pani puri and curry chips as appetisers, the goat curry, Tandoori chicken, with some garlic naan. The chips were loaded with creamy curry sauce and topped with mayo and cheese. The naan was fluffy and soft and went well as a carb to go with the goat curry as the gravy of that dish was a bit salty but the goat meat was tender and lean. The tandoori chicken came out with a nice and smoky charcoal smell with a glaze of sauce and the meat wasn't too dry.
The restaurant is certainly a great choice for special occassions and caters to all eaters who may or may not be so familiar with Indian flavours but maintaining those unique fragrant notes of Indian spices in their dishes.
Came here for Auckland restaurant month menu. We decided on a late lunch; the restaurant was quiet, but seems like a good place for an intimate dinner.
Service could have been a bit more attentive, but wasnât too bad.
The food was good; highlights include the malai chicken starter and the lamb and chicken mains. They cook with a tandoor here and the meat as incredibly tender and flavoursome.
The quantity of food for the main courses was pretty good; we ended up packing a fair bit!
All in all, a good experience and would like to come again for dinner
I liked the food and drink although we were discouraged to get garlic naan to go with chilli chicken. This was an unnecessary advice as Iâve always had chili chicken with naan back home. Please make reservations before hand.
Delicious Indian food. Really enjoyed every dish we ordered. Highly recommend the mango lassi
Lovely place with character. Food is delicious with just the right amount of spice. We ordered a selection of dishes and had to make several requests for serving spoons as there were none. Service was prompt and friendly.
The butterchicken was pretty good, we enjoyed the tandoorichicken, freshly cooked we could still smell the charcoal. The lamb pepper fry was full of flavour. It was a great experience.
Booked a surprise dinner for my wife's birthday. Staff brought out the cake đ and chanted the birthday song. Unreal experience, had a great night.
Had chicken biryani, dahi kebabs, rumali roti, naans, okra fries.
Food 10/10
Service 10/10
Greta atmosphere
Awesome bar
Polite staff
A MUST VISIT RESTAURANT in Auckland.
Such a solid experience, the pani puris were gorgeous pops of flavor wow. Omg the curry chips and cheese was so much flavor and spice, so delicious with the cheese!
The street samosa chat is a symphony of textures, spice and taste, surprisingly enjoyed this very much.
The chicken lollipops were my absolute favorite, I wanted to so badly take the entire tables share, they were so perfectly spiced, cooked and seasoned, trust me when I say there was not a lick of meat left.
Those lamb chops were heavenly, not gamey at all and I was licking the sauce off the plate.
The bang bang butter chicken probably deserves one less bang but it wasnât bad.
Lovely place, great food, friendly service, food didn't take too long, clean public convenience. Highly recommend this fine place to others.
