About

Kisa is a Middle Eastern restaurant in Wellington known for its sharing plates that include a range of vegetarian and vegan dishes such as smoked eggplant moutabal and stuffed eggplants. Many diners appreciate the fresh flavors and the accommodating staff who adapt dishes for allergies, though some find the portion sizes small and the sharing style challenging for mixed vegan and non-vegan groups. The venue has wheelchair accessible facilities and a lively, somewhat noisy atmosphere without much privacy due to its street corner location.
