Ben’s Flagship Restaurant

Ahi is Ben’s debut restaurant in downtown Auckland and the realisation of a career long dream of discovery to the question of “What is New Zealand cuisine”?

The te reo Māori word ‘Ahi’ means ‘Fire’. The open kitchen is centered around the historic wood-fired hearth. The cooking connection is obvious but, for us, Ahi also speaks of the fire in our bellies to deliver the best New Zealand kai in the most authentic way.

Ahi’s menu and wine list explores New Zealand’s amazing culinary culture, hero’ing the special suppliers and unique ingredients from every part of this great country. Organic vegetables are supplied by the Ahi Kitchen Garden in South Auckland.

At his side is GM and business partner Chris Martin and lifelong friend and executive chef – Mike Shatura.

You’ll find Ahi nestled in Commercial Bay, Downtown Auckland – One of New Zealand’s premier shopping and dining destinations. With numerous exceptional reviews, you’ll be dining here again and again at one of Auckland’s best restaurants.
