Kesia — Restaurant in Waitematā

We just celebrated my birthday at Kesia Ponsonby and I can’t put into words how pleased we are with our choice. From the moment our guests arrived, Nak and his team made everyone feel welcome. The food presentation was beautiful, the service was seamless, and the atmosphere at Kesia is simply incredible—stylish yet warm and inviting.

We had around 50 guests, with plenty of space to mingle (and even dance a little!), and everything ran so smoothly. If you’re looking for a venue that’s both elegant and friendly, and where the staff truly care about making your event special, we can’t recommend Kesia...

We recently hosted my boss’s birthday party here and everything was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious, the service was faultless, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating. They even let me keep tweaking our playlist and kindly ran it through their own Spotify system, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the night even more special. I honestly couldn’t recommend this venue more highly for any kind of function – they went above and beyond to make sure everything...

First time at this newly opened place. Fab location and great staff. Service was impeccable. New chef arriving soon for full menu so food choice was limited. Loved sitting watching Ponsonby go by. A new favourite 50m from our apartment. Oh dear! Update! Chef on board and food is great and such good value. Had the beef and bacon burger and probably one of the best ever for $14. Best negronis in town and boy do we know...
