According to food critic, Peta Mathias, Sandringham Village is the Spice Capital of Auckland. A stroll through the Asian specialty shops is an experience for the senses with exotic foods and ingredients packets and tins, huge bins of an array of dazzling coloured spices – with an equally vast range of aromas – crowding the aisles.

Now, this may have been a well kept secret in the past, however the word is out about the array of shops and delightful choices that are available. Did you know that every food permise in Sandringham Village has an ‘A’ grade certificate from Auckland Council? We can now even boast our own old fashioned neighbourhood pub.
