Good on him for reopening, but three months to fix a kitchen fire? That's a whole lot of red tape and insurance bs I reckon.

Mason Young2026-07-04T20:40:40.000Z

but at least they bounced back. Most would just bail on the lease.

Bet the rent's still stupid high. Reopening now is brave, hope they survive the next few months lol

Brave? It's called having a backbone. More owners need that.

Fire crews called? Probably a curry went wrong in the fryer. Been there, done that, got the fire extinguisher 😂

probably but the food is legit, best butter chicken in the cbd.

Love Raviz, their lamb korma is next level. Keen to go back for lunch soon.

Drove past yesterday, saw 'reopening' sign. Felt good, cbd needs more places open not less.

Sam North2026-07-04T22:09:40.000Z

Exactly. Sick of places closing because landlords want more for a shoebox.

Mason Young2026-07-04T22:00:40.000Z

Is it just me or does every second restaurant in Auckland catch fire these days? Something in the air lol

Cameron Diaz2026-07-04T22:08:40.000Z

stuffed, their curries are mint. I'll fight you.

Sam North2026-07-04T22:34:40.000Z

Yeah nah, it's the dodgy wiring in these old buildings. Landlords don't wanna fix shit.

Grace Patel2026-07-04T22:53:40.000Z

calm down mate, I'm just saying it's tough out there.
