Timmur came highly recommended by friends familiar with Nepalese cuisine, and even though we didn’t know exactly what to expect, the food did not disappoint. Every dish was well-seasoned and fragrant, portions were generous, and prices were very reasonable.
The highlights for us were the biryani and the garlic cheese naan. The naan was incredibly cheesy and delicious — great on its own or paired with the curries. The mango lassi was another standout, slightly different from the usual with a subtle hint of spice.
Service was friendly and attentive, making it a great spot for family dinners or catching up with friends. Definitely worth a visit.

Every dish tasted fresh and well-balanced, with generous portions that were very satisfying. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, making it a great place to dine with family or friends. Easily one of the best Indian and Nepalese restaurants in South Auckland. Highly recommend.

Been here after seeing the reviews, definitely hands down for the momos, the first one we ordered were having a little bit thick gravy and tasty, as we liked it we ordered one more of same , it came dry.
The one we disliked was the tandoori platter- apart from fish we dint like lamb or chicken, chicken was dry, was unable to even chew it.
Thus the 4 star rating.

My friend recommended Timmur to me being the best place to try Nepalese cuisine. And now,I second his words.
As starters, we ordered a Chicken Hot & Sour Soup and the Timmur Special Momos, the latter being the best of the night.The meat was spicy, juicy and tender. The marination was perfect.
We also ordered a Chicken Curry and Butter, Garlic Naans.
Overall a great place to have some quality and spicy food.

Tried Nepalese food for the first time at Timmur in Auckland and it was absolutely amazing! The dishes were full of unique and authentic flavors that truly impressed us. The service was excellent, warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. I also loved the Kukhri rum, a perfect touch to the evening. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience

We visited this restaurant in the last day of our holiday. The food is very delicious, the staffs are very attentive. The interior seems quite new or recently renovated.
The owner explains how to eat the homemade food based on his own mother’s recipe.
We tried the Nepalese menu according to the recommendations of the owner.
Tandoori is very soft. Momo, the dumplings, are a bit spice but really delicious. We enjoyed lamb curry and butter curry as well with sweet mango lassi.
My family had wonderful time here. Highly recommend to those who love Nepalese&Indian Food. 🙂

Ordered Paneer Tikka twice, the first time, I thought the poor quality might’ve been due to a busy rush. So, I gave it another try and even called after placing the second online order to mention my previous experience. They assured me they’d look into it, but this time it turned out even worse. The dish was completely bland, with barely any marination, and the paneer was sour almost inedible. I don’t mind spending money, but when you’re craving something and end up so disappointed, it really hits hard.
