This place is a real hidden gem, all the food was amazing and delicious, and the cocktails were also amazing! It’s in an unassuming location away from the central restaurants but it is 100% worth it, if you are ever in Rotorua please go! I really hope this place gets the recognition it deserves, it’s a local Māori family owned business serving up the most amazing food. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Have just had an amazing dinner. Shared beautiful tapas smoked fish croquettes and mushroom and cheese arancini chicken nibbles and then pork ribs. Desserts were great fried bread finger licking good. My brother and sister in law tried several of the gin flavours and enjoyed all of their choices favourite bring the grapefruit gin.

Small intimate place off the main road. At first unassuming but you quickly recognize the good service and fantastic food. Recommend trying the cocktails which are $17 each from 5:00pm - 6:30, very tasty and boozy. The garlic bread was so soft and plenty of it, crispy heihei to die for, arancini is a must for cheese lovers, and the kumara croquet are delightful with the red pepper paste and micro greens. These chefs know what they are doing! The cheesecake and mousse for dessert will not disappoint with great presentation. Ani's gin bar is a wee gem you will find if you look beyond the usual eat streat location. I hope they continue to grow and nab themselves bigger premises to host more patrons as this wee secret is uncovered. Will definitely be going back!

Exceptional dining experience tonight with my partner! All meals we had were delicious, but their pan fried fish sliders took the prize tonight - and that’s even from a partner that doesn’t normally like fish (sorry forgot a photo as was that tasty)!! Hats off to the ladies here for a great experience and tasty meals!! Would highly recommend and also re-visit.

Finding Ani's is possibly the highlight of my visit to NZ. Staff, atmosphere and food are just fabulous. The inspiration to all this is the owner' s Mum who must have been a creative genius. Would have to have had one of her meals. Sorry that we' re leaving town tomorrow and can't make it 3 dinners in a row. Eating anywhere else could be a big mistake. Thank you team for a gastronomic delight. All the best. Peter Foran Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Walked in without knowing what to expect, but loved the aranchini and caramel cheesecake😍😍 giving 4 because the garlic bread was okayish

Best food we had in Rotorua! Efficient and friendly service. Seafood bowl was very fresh and perfectly cooked. Went very well with the garlic bread. The beef ribs were absolutely tender, served with pureed potatoes and jus. The special paua ravioli was done brilliantly, with the egg yolk still runny when you cut into the ravioli. Desserts were equally amazing. Delicious quality food from start to finish!!!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
