Ponsonby’s KOL Restaurant is adding novelty to its offering this September, giving diners the chance to eat well, pay what they feel, and support a charity – all at the same time.
Run by Ruchi and Sapan Parikh – the duo behind successful Auckland eateries The Spice Rack in Albany and The Red Fort in Greenhithe – KOL is introducing a Pay As You Feel set menu every Thursday evening in September (bookings only), with 20 percent of revenue being split between four charities close to their hearts: KiwiHarvest, Starship Foundation, Auckland City Mission, and Make-A-Wish NZ.
Three Thursday Sittings
There will be three sessions every Thursday in September: 12pm-1.30pm, 5pm-6.30pm, and 7-8.30pm and bookings will be essential due to seating capacity limits. “We are so excited to be doing this,” says Ruchi. “It’s a win-win for everyone, our chefs get to create something different for a night, our customers can enjoy an amazing dining experience and pay what they feel it’s worth, and we get to support causes we care deeply about. We hope to see a mix of diners – those who want to support their favourite charity while having a nice meal out, and those who have been curious to try KOL for the first time.”
The Parikhs are especially passionate about organisations supporting children, whether they are living with illness or struggling through the effects of the cost-of-living crisis. “We would love to meet some new faces in our local community and beyond, especially those who love the same charities we do.”
