Nanny's Eatery
Jerk Chicken
Awarded by AG Fernando
Nanny's Eatery has already established itself as a neighbourhood institution in Kingsland, being one of the only places you can get legit Jamaican Jerk Chicken in Auckland. Chef JP is the genius behind his own secret blend of spices that make his jerk chicken absolutely to die for. It's complex, spicy, umami, and, above all, delicious. You can even choose a couple of sides to optimise your Jerk experience. JP is an incredible character who makes you feel right at home in his restaurant and has a knack for remembering customers' faces (I was very surprised he remembered me on only my second visit!). Yes, their jerk chicken is absolutely glorious but the good vibes and hospitality at Nanny's cannot be beaten.
