Meet Mel and Tina
Tāmaki locals Melema'u (Mel) and Tina own Melina’s Takeaway, in Panmure.
“We’ve had so much support from the community. It’s been great to be able to start a business in an area we know and love so well, and bring a bit of the islands to people living far from home.”
There are around 900 businesses in Tāmaki. Together they create community, character, and local jobs. Whenever you can, shop where it makes the most difference.
