1947 eatery

Excellent service from the moment we walked in. The food is amazing, portion size is perfect. We had the butter chicken, goat , tandori and okra meals and all were perfect. The meals come with the standard species so you cannot change the hotness level apart from getting some chillies on the side. Would definetly visit this place again in the future. Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is the inability to change the hotness level. Vegetarian options: Nice vegeterian options. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Auckland. Of course, authentic Indian food like chicken curry and naan is delicious, but the best dish is lamb chops. It is spicy, Indian-flavoured, and very yummy. Each serving contains four chops, but you can add more in increments of one. The restaurant is child-friendly with kids' chairs, but there may not be much on the menu that children can eat as well.

Amazing dining experience at this authentic Indian restaurant. The staff is attentive and friendly and the ambience a perfect match. Loved the starters especially the crab dish. Our main courses were outstanding as well specially the lamb dish. The staff were extremely accommodating and shifted us to a more private dining space upon request. Would certainly be back soon.

Great experience. Limited menu but good one. Great service. I am not much knowledgable towards drinks but whatever drink I had was amazing and good. Great staff good service. Keep it up. Hats of to all staff. Would see to dine in again in future. Keep going

Last week Saturday visited 1947 Eatery, it was my very first visit there. The experience all in all was good. The food was amazing and the portion size was really good. I went there along with my friend. Really nice staff and got really great service. We ordered Chilli Chicken, Dry Goat Curry, Achari Baigan, Tandoori Rotis, Chicken Biryani and some soft drinks. For the dessert we had Gajar ka Halwa. Everything was superb. We had to takeaway the leftovers as we couldn’t finish anything that we ordered.

This is a must go to restraunt! The food is divine and seems to be very authentic! The cocktail menu is amazing! Great service and friendly staff! The details of the decor are great there is even a tuk tuk! Highly recommend! It’s the best Indian I have ever had such fresh food!

The spicy level of the dishes on the Menu are preset with chilly symbols, one being mild, two for medium and three for very spicy. We started with the “Chilly Chicken” and the “Wannabe Drumsticks”. As a lover of chilly chicken dishes, I felt that as the customer, I should be given the option of choosing the level of spiciness. I immediately started sweating after the first few spoons. Maybe next time I might just skip the “Chilly Chicken”. For our mains we had the “Lamb Pepper Fry” and the “Bade Miyan Chicken” with garlic cheese naans. Both dishes were delicious and the spiciness of my chilly chicken was quickly forgotten. Our waiter was polite and professional. The restaurant was a bit dark. I noticed other customers using their phone torches to see the menu. Four star rating due to not having the option to choose the spice levels.

Nice Ambiance. We ordered some Mocktails, Pani Puri, Chicken Biryani and Dum Chicken with few different types of Naans. Very lovely staff, respectful and fast. Our orders came on time. Warm plates with yummy food. Everything was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. Next time in Auckland, will definitely come and try other meals at your eatery.

Fantastic cocktails and food. The Alexander the Great cocktail is a must if you like less sweet, whiskey or bourbon type drinks. We ordered the okra fries and pani puri for snacks, and lamb chops and Dum Chicken for mains - soooo good!!!! Definitely stop here if in the downtown area. Absolutely amazing!

Where do I start. The only word can be Perfect. I have been stuck in provincial New Zealand for a couple of years and then walked passed 1947. The smell made me stop. I walked straight in and make a booking for the following evening. Chilli chicken, Lamb chop, and a chicken dish second on the menu I don't know the name. Honestly the best dishes I have had in several years... period!!! Watching the cocktails being made was a delight and you must try the Pretzel dessert... OMG wow... 1947 is a top restaurant. It was absolutely packed and deserves to flourish through the difficult fight back after Covid. Thank you thank you thank you
