Anise is a modern pan-Asian restaurant at 210 Symonds Street, Eden Terrace, Auckland. According to its website, the menu draws on Indonesian, Cantonese, Thai and Japanese flavours.
The restaurant is independently owned by Sid and Chand Sahrawat. Executive Chef Sid Sahrawat and head chef Tommy Hope lead the kitchen. The room seats 70, which makes it a comfortable size for shared-style group dinners and small team gatherings.
Once a month the chefs run a one-night "Chef Eats" event: five street-food dishes from a different cuisine, priced at $85 per person including a welcome drink. It is held at The French Café.
The website does not mention a dedicated private dining room or function packages, so groups should contact the restaurant directly to confirm what can be arranged.
Anise suits relaxed group dining, client dinners and small celebrations where a varied Asian sharing menu is wanted close to the central city.
