1947 eatery

24/10/2026

We have refreshed the space, but kept the heart of 1947 exactly where it belongs.

The new look brings a warm new setting to the same authentic food Auckland has loved for a decade. The same bold flavours, the same generous hospitality, and the same 1947 experience in the heart of the city.

If you have not seen the new space yet, this is your sign to come by.

At 1947, the cocktail list moves from bright, playful serves to deep, rich whisky-led drinks, alongside the classics you already know and love.

Raspberry-dusted cocktails.
Smoked pours.
Espresso martinis.
Martinis done properly.

Whatever your mood, there’s a place for it at the 1947.

At 1947, our naan is still baked the old way, over real charcoal.

No gas. No shortcuts. Just the deep smoky aroma of the tandoor, blistered edges, a soft centre, and the kind of flavour only real fire can give.

From the tandoor to your table, this is our promise to keep it authentic.

Behind every busy service at 1947 is a kitchen built on technique, timing and consistency.

From the tandoor to the pot, our team works with proper spices, premium ingredients and the kind of care that only comes from doing it night after night.

Authentic Indian food is not about shortcuts.
It is about flavour, fire and respect for the craft.

Our biryani brings the depth: layered, aromatic, slow-cooked and built around authentic flavours.

'Butter Pop Pop' brings the fun: sour apple, butterscotch, popcorn foam and caramelised popcorn.

Different moods. Same 1947 table.

For ten years, 1947 Eatery has told the story of India through its food.

Not one region. Not one style. Not one definition of Indian cuisine.

Our menus have travelled through the streets of Delhi, Bombay to the kitchens of Punjab and Hyderabad, and across borders where centuries of culture have shaped the food of the subcontinent.

Some dishes are humble. Some are celebratory. Some are reimagined for a modern dining room. But their foundations remain grounded in the traditions, spices and techniques that inspired them.

That has been the philosophy of 1947 since we opened our doors a decade ago.

To explore. To respect tradition. To bring different stories of India to one table.

Ten years on, the journey continues.

August means something different at 1947.

It is the most important month of our year.

A month that carries the story behind our name. A story of freedom. Of change. Of people, cultures and histories that remain deeply connected across South Asia.

Azaadi. आज़ादी. آزادی.

A word understood across borders.

This August, our Freedom Menu celebrates that shared heritage through food. Flavours shaped across generations, cities and regions. Different traditions, brought together at one table.

The Freedom Menu will be available throughout August at 1947 Eatery.

This is our month.

This is our story.

This is Azaadi.

Fresh surroundings. Same 1947 soul.

We’ve given 1947 Eatery a new chapter.

Rich leather, warm timber, deeper tones and softer light now shape the room, while keeping the dark, industrial character that has always been part of who we are.

A space designed to feel intimate, warm and distinctly 1947.

The food remains rooted in the flavours and stories we have spent the last decade building. The room has simply evolved around it.

Come experience the new 1947.

A moment of immense pride for our team.

Today, we received our official Michelin Guide New Zealand 2026 plaque, a recognition that marks ten years of dedication to craft, consistency, and the culinary story we’ve worked hard to build.

Being included in the Michelin Guide’s first New Zealand edition is an honour we share with our entire community, our guests, our team, and everyone who has supported 1947 Eatery over the years. This plaque represents countless hours in the kitchen, a commitment to quality, and a passion for showcasing the flavours we love.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
We’re just getting started.

Some dishes don’t need reinvention. They need respect.

Goat curry is one of them.

For a decade at 1947 Eatery, we have stayed true to the original.

Slow cooked. Deep, dark spices. No shortcuts. No trends.

Just patience, balance and flavour that builds with every bite.

This is how it has always been done.
This is how we will always serve it.
If you know, you know.
If you don’t, it’s time you tried it.

Jalebi is not something you plate. It is something you make in the moment.

The batter hits hot ghee. The swirl forms in seconds. Straight into warm syrup with saffron and rose. No holding. No shortcuts. You get it as it was meant to be eaten.

It is one of the most recognised sweets across the subcontinent, but very few places take the time to do it fresh for every order.

This is that version.
