The restaurant had been open since 2017 but on June 15 last year, the landlord of the property 're-entered' the building and the lease was forfeited – according to a document displayed on the restaurant’s door at the time.

The application for the premises licence is listed as “Open for Consultation” by city council.

Tamatanga have been approached for comment.
