Welcome to Verdura- Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Fusion

“ Pretty good Mediterranean food. I do hope that the char smell in the meat is stronger. The specialty 'pizza' is good and something new to us. The only comment is a reminder to close the door as any smokes from the outside smoking table will be drifting into the restaurant. ”

“ Restaurant has a Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean fusion menu list that can cater to varied Customers’ taste palate. The platter options are a great way to delve into their delicious selection of Grilled meats which is partnered with a chosen side dish. One can also purchase as a solo order but would arrive in a larger portion. The portion sizing itself would suit 2 people as it was made to be shared (as per the menu). But One can attest that there would be no sharing involved as the meals are tender, exactly seasoned and not overwhelmed with side dishes than the main meal. It’s a 5star experience for me with their Grilled Meats menu. With this, there is constant lingering smell of the grilling by the kitchen but it adds character to the ambiance of the place. It has meals that would suit Visitors who are GF, Halal, Dairy-Free options etcetc. Seating can be found, so can seat a group of 4 to 8 at a time depending on which meal times One would arrive. The ambiance is inviting to stay longer as it’s spacious and seats are comfy. The fixtures seen in the place adds character to this place making it an Authentic Fusion of Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern cuisine. I’ve become a patron and will come back again in the near future. ”

“ Fantastic! thats the word I can say. We have 2 months old baby girl (you know that at her age need good ambience either to sleep/nap or playing). This place is the best ever to go for eat out with the family. Fabulous food really!! till we ask for extra rice cause real good. The grilled chicken pieces were huge. Very recommended to go. ”

“ 5 stars, absolutely fabulous food!! The kibbeh and dolma were perfect and my meat-loving husband was very happy with Cyprus meatballs and mixed grill. All at reasonable prices in a really gorgeous setting ”

“ Delicious middle eastern restaurant in Dunedin. We ordered the shish kebab that came in a platter and the kebab on fries. It was nice to have a little bit of everything. I think the falafel and dolma were really good. We also came back for a takeaway and got the biryani and machboos. ”

“ Very nice restaurant. We all enjoyed our meals. One mistake on our order (Meze platter for 4 with meats) but received the vegetarian version which we ate anyway because It looked delicious. The Muhammara dip is excellent and the Persian Koobideh was cooked perfectly. The drinks were excellent with the slight exception of the Pomegranate Fizz missing any Pomegranate flavour whatsoever. Fantastic service with a nice cultural atmosphere 4.5/5 stars ”

“ 5 stars!! Excellent service, cool atmosphere and beautiful food. The food was fresh, tasty and filling - will be back! ”

“ If you looking for a place in Dunedin who do Shisha/ Hookah with an exquisite Middle-Eastern food with beautiful themed interior, Verdura is an amazing place with best service and food. Do check out their massive menu with lots of dishes to choose from. Highly recommended. ”
