The 38 Best Restaurants in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand) | Eater

"Over the years, Paradise has built a mini empire, taking over a small block with a dine-in restaurant, takeaway shop, and a “party house” for private group bookings of up to 90 people. Find it by the throngs of people outside on any given night, bathing in the light of a neon chile pepper, waiting for a table or queuing for takeaway, which can be ordered ahead or selected from bains-marie filled with rich, aromatic Mughlai curries. Anything from the tandoor is good, particularly the whole fish, and don’t miss the Hyderabadi dum biryani with tender goat on the bone, saffron-studded rice, boiled eggs, and raita. — LJ" - Hillary Eaton
