Food is Love: A Tanzanian Degustation Experience African cuisine is deeply underrepresented in New Zealand, yet it offers some of the most vibrant, nourishing, and soulful dishes in the world. This special 5-course degustation is a love letter to Tanzania, created by Chef Shuchi Bhardwaj, a baker who grew up in Tanzania and carries its flavors, traditions, and warmth in her heart.

Tanzanian food is a beautiful fusion of cultures—influenced by indigenous African traditions, Indian spices, and Arabic coastal flavors. It’s vibrant, aromatic, and naturally balanced, with wholesome ingredients like coconut, plantains, fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, and fragrant spices.

In this one-night-only dining experience, you’ll journey through the heart of Tanzania with dishes that feel like home—comforting, bold, and full of love. Whether it’s the warm embrace of coconut-infused stews, smoky grilled meats, or fragrant spiced rice, each course is a reminder of how food connects us.

With so little African cuisine available in New Zealand, this is a rare opportunity to experience the depth and beauty of Tanzanian food, reimagined with care and authenticity.

$98 per person (food only) $55 wine pairing (optional, featuring thoughtfully selected wines)
