Khanz Restaurant
A journey of passion, tradition, and authentic Middle Eastern flavours in the heart of Papatoetoe
Khanz Restaurant was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to bring the authentic tastes of the Middle East to Auckland. Founded in 2015 by the Khan family, who brought with them generations of culinary expertise and treasured family recipes from their homeland.
What started as a modest eatery in Papatoetoe has blossomed into one of Auckland's most beloved Middle Eastern dining destinations. Our success is built on unwavering commitment to quality, authenticity, and the warmth of traditional hospitality.
Every dish we serve tells a story—of ancient spice routes, family gatherings around communal tables, and the rich cultural heritage of Middle Eastern cuisine. We've stayed true to traditional cooking methods while ensuring each meal meets the highest standards of freshness and flavour.
