India & Romania

Experience the bold flavours of India and Romania as two rich culinary traditions come together for a limited-time dining event at The Heke.

For three nights only, 8 Plates presents an Indian and Romanian fusion pop-up by chefs Andrei Rotar and Bhawan Singh. Inspired by their heritage and culinary backgrounds, the menu celebrates vibrant spices, seasonal ingredients and creative techniques, resulting in a dining experience unlike anything else on Waiheke.

This is à la carte dining, so you can order as little or as much as you like, exploring a menu of beautifully crafted small plates alongside a bespoke cocktail list designed to complement every dish.

Whether you're discovering new flavours or simply looking for something different, this exclusive pop-up is a unique stop on your Around the World on Waiheke journey.

Available 4–6 August, 5.30pm–8pm. Bookings are recommended. BOOK HERE.
