Sanku Maots'ai
About
Sanku Maots'ai, on North Island, sits at the corner of Nuffield Street & Nufffiled Lane, 23 Nuffield Street, Newmarket, Auckland 1023, New Zealand. First-time visitors should expect a restaurant that has earned a 4.9 out of 5 average from 511 reviews, a remarkable figure by any measure.
New Zealand cooking leans on lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, so the kitchen sits within a national tradition of strong local produce. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country and on road signs. The Newmarket address places the restaurant within Auckland's inner suburbs, easily reached from the city and from towns such as Hamilton and Tauranga further south. Other centres, including Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Napier and New Plymouth, lie beyond the Auckland region.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black.
With 511 reviews behind a 4.9 rating, the restaurant holds an unusually strong standing among diners. Newmarket's position within Auckland makes it a practical stop for anyone travelling through the upper North Island.
