You're invited to Ambeli - The Award Winning "Home Of Welcome."
The vision ; quirky enthusiasm at Ambeli "From OUR hearts to YOUR plate" has a strong point of difference: it is always genuinely offered, and perfectly pitched. Hype and an affectation of prestige have no place: after all "Our house is Your house".
Where other Five Star venues affect a casual appeal to soften the formality of their service, Ambeli is so homely & authentic they attentively serve a generous slice of added satisfaction by listening & truly delivering.
2011 Capital Awards "Best Front of House", and one of only two Five STAR restaurants in all of greater Wellington.

Smart, Seasonal, Organic Cuisine
~
Descended from Sicilian farmers who settled on New Zealand's pristine Urville Island, and Greek Cypriot Fisherfolk from the legacy of Wellington's Island Bay, a reverence & understanding of all things epicurean is in Ambeli's DNA.
Ambeli's menu operates under a broad Mediterranean theme, drawn from the expansive heritage of owners Shaebodine & Elisavet Moleta, with much weight placed by Executive Chef Josh "Daygo" Evans on local & organic produce.
There is a dynamism & sense of adventure at play, an interaction offered with an award-winning sense of ease & reassurance.

Very disappointing. Went with a group of friends recently. I ordered crumbed sweetbreads ($24) for an entree. Arrived cold and tasted as if deep fried a week ago. My main was pork belly which was very small (about the size of a cigarette packet), tepid, very average and very expensive ($40). My dessert was tamarillo crumble which was mediocre and did not resemble a crumble. My friends' meals were of disappointingly similar quality and size. Overall, the food was poor, too expensive and the portions too small. Restaurants like Logan Brown and Capitol leave this place for dead. Avoid.

Beautiful food and even better service. This place is very charming and so are the waiters! They are also very enthusiastic and helpful. Portions aren't too small. Will definitely be back!
