Broccoli, but not as you know it. 🥦🔥
Our BBQ Broccoli is fire-roasted for that deep char, glazed with sticky char siu, and paired with kale and hibiscus-spiced yoghurt for a tangy, vibrant finish.
Smoky. Sweet. Spiced. Creamy.
A vegetable dish with absolutely no intention of sitting quietly on the side.

Small in size. Serious on flavour. 🍔🔥
Our Chicken Sliders are stacked with juicy chicken and punchy masala cabbage, bringing together richness, spice and crunch in every bite.
Going veg? Get them with paneer instead, with all the same flavour-packed goodness.
Perfect for sharing. Although we won’t judge if you don’t. 👀

Plates that make you want to order one more.
At KOL, every dish is built around flavour, texture, and a contemporary take on Indian cooking.
From smoky tandoor favourites to vibrant plates made for sharing, there’s always something worth reaching across the table for.
And then there’s our Prawn Toast. Crisp, golden, and loaded with prawn, sesame, garlic and chilli. One of those dishes that tends to disappear faster than expected. 🦐
Come hungry. Order for the table.

At KOL, modern Indian flavours, thoughtful hospitality and a little Ponsonby energy come together for an experience that stays with you long after the last plate is cleared.
Your table is waiting.

What people say
Kol Auckland is a restaurant located on Ponsonby Road that offers an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant's focus on fire, food, and cocktails is evident in their menu offerings and social media posts. Their Mother's Day cocktail was a hit with Moksha Gin, homemade rhubarb and strawberry liqueur, lemon, egg white, apple brandy snap, and topped up with Louis Roederer Champagne. The special 3-course menu offered during the Eat Drink Love Ponsonby event was also a highlight with options like smoked fish toastada, tandoori grilled saffron chicken or lamb ribs with date purée for the main course and something sweet to end the meal. Kol Auckland's limited-time toastie featuring smoked eel, Evandale Tania cheese from Otago, and feijoa chutney was a must-try for those looking for a quick lunch option. The cocktail of the week featuring Painturaud XO Cognac, hazelnut and almond orgeat with caramelised white chocolate and vanilla bitters served with Easter eggs was another standout item on their menu. With its unique offerings and excellent service, Kol Auckland is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Auckland.
