Nanam Restaurant — Restaurant in Devonport-Takapuna

Came here a few weeks ago with my partner, we tried a few tapas such as: Lamb "Adobo" Croquetas; so earthy and warm! Give them a go even if you are a "no lamb" person. "Sardinas"; they were really good but nothing out of this world, i could say that this one was my less favourite of the tapas. Wagyu sausage "Longganisa", this one was my favourite, its served with some kind of chipotle mayo in a soft tortilla that you can just roll it up or fold it and eat it as a kind of taco, the longganisa was so good that is hard to describe, so many layers of flavour and so tender!. "Kinilaw" tuna ceviche; another beautifull tapa, fresh, bright and kind of creamy, not as spiced as a peruvian ceviche but really well balanced. TacoPao; Served with all the ingredients in separate small bowls so you can build your prefered "bao", the beetroot buns were warm and soft and the sticky pork belly was superb, but it falls behind the amazing Longganisa or the Lamb Adobo Croquetas. We wanted to order a main but that tapas were more than enough and we ended up ordering some desserts. Mais at queso; i could totally come back just for this dessert, sweet corn ice cream? Really? Yes! As weird as it sounds it was AMAZING! It perfectly match with the pastry and the dulce the leche! We also ordered a "Halo Halo", a kind of ice shaved dessert with fresh fruits and ube mousse but it wasn't as good as the Mais at queso in my opinion. The staff was super friendly all the time, i think the name of the waiter was Don and the waitress/manager was Jess o think, big thumbs up for them! We will...

We have been wanting to try Nanam for a while, and I’m so glad we made the drive from West to Takapuna. Worth it! 👍

From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Everyone in the restaurant made us feel welcome.

The ambiance leaned to a slightly fine-dining vibe with Filipino design touches here and there.. very comfortable and relaxed 😊

The food was fantastic 👩‍🍳 I’ve been craving calamansi juice for a while now (which i’ve taken for granted back in the Philippines because calamansi was just everywhere!) and their version hit the spot - so refreshing, and the right balance of sweet, tart/tangy.

We started with the Wagyu Tacos. Personally would’ve loved the more garlicky and less sweet longganisa version.. but nevertheless, it was so perfectly cooked and tasty, plus the sauce that came with it was also spot on.

We also had the Roasted crispy Pork Belly - crispy skin, juicy meat, and a really tasty apple sarsa. I couldn’t quite pick up the truffle oil that was mentioned on the menu though, but still overall it was delicious.

We were slightly still hungry after all that and everything just tasted so good, so we decided to order one more - the Beef Cheek caldereta.. and just wow 🤩 The meat was incredibly tender and the dish was so rich and full of flavour.

Again, super glad we got the chance to dine here! It really brought a taste of home in such a thoughtful, elevated way. Will definitely be back and highly...

TLDR: this place serves delicious meals for the right price, and we would love to come back again.

We came here on 5th March at 5.30 pm for our 1 year anniversary. It was still quiet, and we were greeted by the staff who showed our table. It's our first time here, and the atmosphere of this place is spot on 👌 We ordered virgin pina colada, wagyu taco, something croquettes(I forgot the name), and pork and octopus sisig as our main.

Not gonna lie, I'm not the one who over exaggerates when it comes to food, but every dish we had was very delicious and quite unique. I highly recommend wagyu Taco since that was one of my favourites. The sisig was also delicious and it goes well with their rice so dont forget to order rice. I probably should have ordered 2 bowls of rice instead of 1.

After our meal we were happy to get up and go but the staff told us to sit down for a bit because they had a special treat for our anniversary!! Now that was unexpected and it's really generous of them for doing such thing. The dessert was AMAZING too. Even my partner who doesn't really eat sweets, she loved it too. I actually had no idea they had dessert menu, so don't forget to ask the staff for dessert menu 😉

Now the price, it is slightly on the high end if you compare it with other filipino restaurants. But the thing is, this isn't like any other filipino restaurant. It has its own unique fusion twist and that is something you won't find anywhere else.

Keep up the...
