A new restaurant at The Grange in Warkworth is offering diners an opportunity to taste both authentic Indian and Nepalese cuisine.
Olive Indo-Nepali Eatery is the third Olive restaurant opened by chef Resham Bashnet – the other two are in Massey and New Lynn.
Joining him in the Warkworth venture is manager Krishna Kafle who, until just a year ago, was working in hospitality in his native Nepal.
Olive is licensed and BYO. It has seating both inside and outside, as well as a takeaway and delivery service.
Many diners will be unfamiliar with some of the dishes on the menu, so Kafle encourages people to ask him or wait staff for more information. He says dishes can be as mild or spicy as a diner desires.
He particularly recommends the momo, a steamed dumpling made to an authentic Nepalese recipe.
Most dishes offer vegetarian, chicken, lamb, goat and seafood options, as well as a range of gluten free, dairy free and vegan dishes.
Kafle says another “must try” is the set Nepali Dinner for two.
Bashnet says he and the team are looking forward to getting know customers in the wider Warkworth area.
“We like everyone to leave the restaurant satisfied with their meals, so if anyone has any special requests, they only need to ask.”
