When making a booking, we like to know:
The date you would like to dine
How many people will be dining
Your preferred time
Your preferred menu
Any allergies, strong dislikes or dietary requirements you would like catered for.
This information helps us to prepare accordingly and removes a number of variables and last minute surprises which typically occur when we are unaware of your intentions.
This is important for 2 reasons. Firstly, it helps you and your dining party have a seamless evening with us.
Secondly, we support neurodiversity in the work place and have a number of people on our team who process information atypically. The information collected during the booking process decreases uncertainty and stress which is important in an environment which can otherwise be full of stimuli.

Aryeh is not a place for dogs.
Firstly, we have an open kitchen and serve a lot of very tempting produce, but also we have made this conscious choice as many of the other great local dining establishments in Piha receive great trade due to the fact that they allow dogs. We are here to pursue our passion and cook great food, to add something unique to Piha but we do not wish to take our neighbours bread and butter. So no dogs at Aryeh.
We highly recommend taking your dog to the Piha Bowling Club where Chef Dhruv Mohan is cooking up delicious meals.

There is plenty of street parking along Seaview rd.
Do not park in the bowling club carpark or past the main gates, they lock the gates after 9pm.
