Sidart

Top choice in Ponsonby & Karangahape Rd


No one in Auckland produces creative degustations quite like Sid Sahrawat. It's food as both art and science but, more importantly, food to fire up the taste buds, delight the brain, satisfy the stomach and put a smile on the face. The restaurant is a little hard to find, tucked away at the rear of what was once the Alhambra cinema.

Expect high-end and innovative combinations of European, Asian and Indian flavours. The Chef's Table dinner experience (per person $195) is a personalised insight into some of NZ's finest dining.
