It was my first time having a Persian Cuisine I reckon and it was awesome! Food was delicious and so tender. I was not able to taste the gaminess of the lamb. There are not a lot of food on the menu to choose from which is great so that you decide what you want to order right away .

Best Persian food. Took me back to my Gulf days. Best costumer service the owner of the restaurant was so kind. Hospitality as always like a middle eastern family. He even gave us student discount as we where wearing school uniform.

Staff/owners were so nice! Food was delicious and the portion generous. Price wasn’t cheap but given the portion, it’s not unreasonable. We tried the dooha ? yoghurt for the first time. It was a cool new experience! Highly recommend and will go back!

Exceptionally delicious Persian food. I thoroughly recommend Ziba cafe dinner special to sample the marinated grilled lamb mince and succulent lamb kebab plus a chicken kebab complemented by fresh side salad. Mouthwatering taste of balanced perfection in beautiful decor. Hugely generous portion size. Fabulous experience. Enjoy dining here with friends!

We have tried other Persian restaurants in Auckland and hadn't been here so went down there for a lunch. We tried their dish called Vaziri that's a mixed lamb and chicken grilled meats/kebabs served with saffron rice, grilled tomato and fresh salad. Food was scrumptious 10/10. As a critic, I could say they may add a sauce or butter on the side either complimentary or for additional $. Sharing pictures of the food and the ambiance here. Tip: The Cafe is located quite close to Henderson Train Station and WestCity mall among other eateries. Mall has 90 mins free parking.

I had lunch here today. I had chicken and lamb skewers with rice Vaziri and a Persian yogurt drink doogh on the side. Then for dessert, had a Baklava and was given the chance to try their work in progress saffron ice cream. Flavours were spot on, the skewers were tasty and tender, salad was great and the saffron rice was perfect. As for the desserts, I really liked that they weren’t overly sweet. The ice cream had an interesting texture soft and cotton-like, but I liked it because it reminded me of Santol Cotton Fruit which we have in the Philippines. Truly, great value for great food. Can’t wait to go back already. P.S. I loved the interiors too!

Awesome food. Authentic Persian food. We ordered quite a bit but didn't get to take much pictures as we just dived into it! Must visit..Food: 5/5

I felt the generous and genuine hospitality of Hassan and Arash in my first visit. They are approachable, friendly, kind, professional and expert at what they do. They simply went above and beyond my expectations. The quality of food and drinks was outstadingly excellent, and the relaxed ambience of the place was especially exemplary. I cannot thank them enough for this memorable experience of Persian culture and wish them all the very best.

Staff are friendly. Kebab quality is high and really worth to try their Kebab and Naan. Undoubtedly they have one of the best Naan in Auckland
