Atmosphere (warm and welcoming, relaxed seating and nice subtle music) 5/5
location and parking 4/5
seating arrangement- traditional-very clean and tidy 5/5
the food and menu- Superb 5/5 service is great and our Chicken Karahi platter and Charcoal platter arrived a few minutes after we had ordered.
The only improvement I would make is to add a dessert menu and drinks menu.
Awesome!!.Great place.Great food.Great service. I recommend this place to family and friends. Love it.
I was meaning to take photos of the dishes we got but the food was so exceptionally good I immediately forgot once it got served. Love this place! So delicious and the people are so lovely too!
Have been dining here regularly for a year, the food and service is AMAZING! Highly recommend if you are after traditional authentic middle eastern food. The charcoal platter is a must have, perfect for 3. The king platter is perfect for larger groups.

Authentic middle eastern food - perfectly cooked, generous portions, fresh, tasty and nicely presented.
The shock of experiencing how bad Rumi had become gave me that push to finally come here all the way from Albany in a desperate search for a good Middle Eastern fix.
We ordered the tabbouleh salad and babaganoush with bread to start. The bread was soft and warm and perfect for me to smoosh the creamy and super tasty babaganoush onto. The tabbouleh salad was packed with gloriously fresh parsley and tomatoes and seasoned beautifully with just the right amount of zest to really get my tastebuds going.
When the charcoal chicken hit our table, I could immediately see that the chicken was cooked to perfection - big plump pieces of succulent chicken glistening with a subtle charring from the charcoal. The dish came with a salad dressed with something like hummus and two amazing sauces. The rice took me back to the rice I used to have at Desert Rose in Palmerston North (which is now closed). It was so authentic and tasty, my mind has officially been blown.
The baklava was exploding with generous serving of fillings and pistachio nuts and it was the perfect finish to a gorgeous meal.
Highly recommend this place!! Arabic tea and coffee are great as well as the charcoal sheesh kebab!
closer to 4.5
came here under recommendation from friend of friend and we were not disappointed
love their meat platter, really decent portion (their salad are not bad either)
the lamb cutlets are my favourite (although all the meat are good and i wouldn’t mind eating any) - i have not tasted better, it really was perfectly cooked
if i have to take any points away, the ambience could be better, and the meat dishes could be accompanied by more vegetables
We ordered the charcoal platter for 3 yesterday to takeaway and hands down this was the best food I have ever ordered! The charcoal chicken, shish kebab and lamb cutlets were cooked to perfection, super moist. The rice was amzing, full of flavour, and the sauces and salad, omg to die for!! The taste and flavours are expertly done. Definitely will be returning over and over again in the future and can not recommend this place enough. Thank you
Been here several times. Lovely light meals , friendly staff and nice atmosphere. If you looking for something char grilled , this is the place to be
I came here a year ago (I know late review) but anyway.. the food was so delicious! I had fish and my friend had the chicken dish. Both dishes were full of flavors! Would come back 100% and also recommend to others.
This place serves the best French fries!😍 I tried the sheekh kebab and chicken with their special rice and it was cooked perfectly. Their sauces are too good especially the one with tomatoes.
Tried Khanz for the first time today and it was awesome. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was really nice. Would recommend getting entrees if your dining in just to snack on something while you wait for your mains. The environment was really nice quite appropriate for the cuisine creates a really nice Arab feel. Would definitely go back and try some of their other dishes out.
We had a table booked for our Christmas party and it was honestly the most beautiful place with yummy food. Great service top notch!!!! Definitely will be recommending to my family and friends! Well done Khanz! Thank you for the food and service
Such an affordable place to dine, the food is delicious and made to perfection. The lamb was cooked so succulent and the chicken was not dry and full of flavour (unfortunately I did not take photos of these dishes. I’ve come the second time around and ordered vegetarian meals; photos show the eggplant dish, lentil soup and the mezze platter it came with about 4 naan breads and we ordered rice on the side which was very tasty on its own - all vegetarian. For the price of food, it was good value! The outdoor area for shisha is so classy, best spot in south Auckland if you want to chill with mates. It’s covered and mellow, such a good vibe! Atmosphere is overall good, the aesthetics matched the cuisine and the customer service is so polite and welcoming! Thank you!
The ambience of this place is really good. There's indoor and outdoor seating... Food was great in terms of taste and flavour. However, I was a bit disappointed with the service. We asked for a chilli sauce when we got the food and never got it. Also had to keep reminding them about our drinks...
Absolutely amazing vibe. The friendly staff were easy to deal with the food platters we ordered were absolutely delicious. The place was booked out, but they had an extended area at the back which made you feel like you were in a different country. Again the vibes were awesome the food was great the atmosphere had our table of five buzzing. Would definitely recommend to try this place out. We are definitely going there again
It was recommended by a friend. We had our work lunch there and it was delicious. Fresh and flavourful and fabulous service.
Generous food portions and very affordable. We were a big group so it was a 45 mins wait. Really enjoyed the tandoori chicken.
Great food. Always on point. Everything was perfect. Nihari was the best I have had in NZ. Will be back again.
Big plates and really nice food, super friendly staff! only downside was a bit of dirt on the cutlery and on our can, don’t think they deserve any less than 5 stars because everything else was awesome and there’s no other location like this unless you’re willing to travel far, 5/5 cheap for the amount you get
Love the colorful plates and unique cutlery. We shared the king charcoal platter. Was amazing. Very good price too 👍 try the Turkish coffee!
Khanz restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with a diverse menu showcasing authentic flavors. The ambiance is inviting, and the service is attentive. Standouts include their flavorful biryanis and well-executed kebabs. While prices are slightly on the higher side, the overall dining experience justifies the cost. A must-visit for those seeking a taste of exquisite Indian cuisine.
