Tama Eatery

Had an amazing meal here, the food was awesome and so tasty. Would definitely come back.

The food was excellent and so was the service first time trying for us and we will be back.

Really great food for a very good price point. Cheap drinks as well

Tama is such a lovely spot, the service was really lovely and helpful. Never had Nepalese food before so it was great to try something different - was stoked by how many vegetarian / vegan options there were!
Really nice relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Will definitely be back!

A really interesting dining experience of new flavours and cuisine. The dumplings/mo:mo were amazing!

Great food and service, authentic Nepali food!

The food was really delicious and the service was amazing . Lovely place for a romantic dinner and ambience was lovely

The food was absolutely amazing. We got the goat curry and rice and the mushroom and pea curry and rice, and both were to die for. Super hearty, spiced and seasoned well, perfect serves and actually just so delicious. This isn't a fine dining restaurant in the best way possible, because both the food and the ambience is rustic, homely and just damn good. Our food did take a long time to come out, about half an hour after we ordered it, but it was so worth it in the end. The servers were very kind and hospitable.
My only big criticism would be the music. Western hits were quite out of place in the traditional decorations and food. I would have loved to hear something more fitting to the theme.
Otherwise, I only hope to see Tama get busier and I will definitely be back!

Very good food, this was the second time I have been to Tama. Great vegetarian and vegan options, but same for meateaters too. Interesting drinks :)

Fantastic meal and service. Both main meals we ordered (Baji Set and Ne-Thali Set) were absolutely delicious and would recommend the chicken nibbles to start - actually are really spicy which I loved. The service was amazing and accommodating, can't fault it at all, and can't wait to try more of their dishes.

The food was beautiful! Our server was lovely and polite, and we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Beautiful food all round, the momos were so amazing! Definitely will be back to try the other tasty things on the menu! :)

Food was soooo good and service was great.
We will definitely go back again.

The chicken momos were delicious! The pork baos have beautiful flavour and the staff were lovely. A great taste or Nepal!

Really interesting and unique food. Our dishes were a good level of spicy and the flavours were not dumbed down. Everyone needs to get the momo dumplings panfried!

Very interesting delicious food. Very reasonable prices and service was great considering how busy they were.
Definitely will be back!

Always delicious

Amazzzzinnnnggg food! Great portion sizes and flavours! Deff coming back here

This was our first time with Nepalese food and we enjoyed the experience.

It was our first time at Tama Eatery and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was friendly and efficient, without being rushed. The food was very tasty and we loved that there were so many vegan options.

Our waiter was wonderful, he was patient with all our questions, explained everything, and accommodated our requests. The vegan and the kids in our party all well catered for and the food was great - try the dumplings. Really enjoyable night out - thank you

Tama's food is rich in flavor, which is something we appreciated. The dumplings and tacos are the best. The servers are very attentive. We really loved our experience here.

Enjoyable evening with delightful food!

Lovely food, excellent prices in a casual cafe setting!

yummy dumplings and great service

My friends and I had a great time at Tama Eatery! If you like spicy & easy to share food this is a good place for it. We recommend the chow mein and the shared platter. It’s like a little gem. Nothing fancy. Just great food to enjoy! Will definitely go back.

Had the most amazing food and great service! Definitely recommend!

Good food, great atmosphere and great service. We really enjoyed how different it was from our usual Saturday night takeaways and dumplings.

We had a great time at Tama Eatery last night! The food was somehow very unique but delicious. We had flavours we had never tasted before which was a pleasant surprise. The service was really excellent; our server brought us rice flakes to try when we were unsure of what they were and the food arrived promptly. We will definitely be returning soon!

Second time around, tried more interesting dishes from menu, really enjoyed the authenticity , will be back again.

Excellent food, I have never tried Nepalese food before but it was amazing! The waitress was very helpful in helping us decide and explaining the menu. Great experience

Great relaxed atmosphere. We loved the food and experiencing a different cuisine. The service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely return

Loved finding this place on First Table! It's not easy finding somewhere with multiple options for the gluten free husband and myself, the vegan... but these guys had so many delicious things to choose from for BOTH of us. They also have friendly staff, a comfortably relaxed vibe and were super affordable! We definitely will be going back many, many times :)
p.s If you don't like spicy food, make sure you ask how hot the dish is before ordering. Being Nepalese cuisine they made their kai pretty firey, and I definitely got burned haha.

fantastic food, amazing service and a cool vibe. a great value and very enjoyable dinner. thanks so much!

Food was nice small plated though mostly meat, what we got. Interesting atmosphere very different to most dinner place but still enjoyable

Interesting to try new foods.

The food was great and staff were friendly. The mo-mo dumplings were FANTASTIC!

Food here is amazing! So many flavours and textures and great options. We shared the edamame, the Big Big (selection of curry, veg, beans, roti etc), had the Nepalese “tacos” and steamed dumplings and it was all delicious! We had all the vegan options to suit someone in the group and they were great. Good mix of spicy, smoky, deep cumin flavours as well as fresh! Awesome place to try traditional Nepalese food

Went here to try something new. The dumplings were very nice, we had both fried and steamed. Ordered Lamb Chowella and Pork Sekuwa as well. The Chowella was enjoyable because it was different (served on flakes and soybeans) the Sekuwa was bland (basically just overcooked/charcoaled pigs belly). The ambience was somewhat confused, I liked the Nepalese themed environment but didn’t really like the music (I think it is was Akon??) which was playing quite loud. Overall not a bad experience, I would come back for dumplings and beer during happy hour.

This is such a cool little place! Great vibe and awesome food. Try the tacos, delish.

Terrific food and service -- a real culinary experience!

Good food

good

I'd heard people say great things about Tama but had never been, so finally i went there with a few mates before going to the theatre. And it was fabulous. Big jugs of beer, excellent dumplings, everything was flavoursome, fresh and perfect for sharing. We'll most definitely be back. Thank you!

Although a little hard to find (I walked right past it twice), this place is a real gem. Great food, cosy, didn't feel rushed at all. One of the mains even came with a shot of tequila! Would go back.

Staff were lovely and communicative. Lovely food. Will definitely be back.

Had a really lovely waiter, and the food was beautiful. So thrilled to be able to get good momos and thukpa in Auckland!

First time to Tama and was particularly excited about trying Nepalese food...especially the mo-mo. Lovely friendly staff, that were casual but responsive and quick. Its a nice touch as it feels relaxed, but still efficient. The food was great. Whilst the Chili Momo were good, I just absolutely loved the Peanut Saardheko...worth going back just for that. The Lamb Chowella was sooo tasty (but unfortunately the lamb was a little chewy) and the Chicken Taco's and nibbles were also good. We will absolutely be going back. Thank you

Very tasty meal and a variety of choices! We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and will be back. Highly recommend!
