Pravin is the second generation owner of Bhana Bros. His father and uncle started selling fruit and vegetables on the site in the mid 1930's. This is the elder statesman of Ponsonby Rd and has certainly seen many trends passing through. Fresh fruit and veges are still the core of the shop, with a great range of flowers and deli items, being recent additions.

If you find yourself with an empty fridge, a dinner quest arriving and the thought of the guaranteed after-work supermarket queue too much to face, head straight to Bhana Brothers.

Bhana Brothers are a Ponsonby Road institution for fresh cut flowers, breads from Wild Wheat Bakery, a huge array of fresh fruit and vegetables and grocery items including artisan Italian dried pastas, organic cereals, Matakana chocolates and so much more. The frozen goods fridges reveal organic frozen berries, Kapiti and Kohu Road icecreams and there is a great selection of dairy products.

Bhana Brothers is a great family owned grocer on Ponsonby Road. They have a really good range of mostly gourmet items, fruit and flowers. They also sometimes have amazing almond croissants for $2! The staff are super friendly, although they did start laughing at me because I was buying so much kiwifruit on special last season (bags for $1!) It's back on special...

Anyone who has ever loved in the central Auckland area will be familiar with Bhana Brothers on Ponsonby Rd. The shop has been there for over seventy years and is still in the family. The shop stocks organic fresh fruit and vegetables, artisan foods (nuts, spices, free range eggs etc) and an array of fragrant fresh flowers. The staff are always happy to help and are genuinely friendly. Step inside and enjoy an authentic green grocer experience. Recommended.

Anyone who lives or works in Ponsonby - or ever has lived or worked in Ponsonby - knows the legendary Bhana Brothers store. It has been a fixture since 1940, and is still family run with Arvind and Pravin Bhana at the helm. I love popping by to pick a selection of fresh flowers for home, and their amazing array of herbs and spices is mind boggling and delicious in turn. Check our the return of their recently restored stained glass sign next time you’re in the area - it has never looked better!

  Is it just me or are more people buying fresh flowers for their home these days? It’s a bit of a Saturday ritual for most people (woman) and Bhana Brothers is probably the most popular and well priced spot to do so in Ponsonby 

This dairy **** greengrocers **** deli has been run by the family forever. Catering to discerning dairy shoppers, they have a masive range of organic, local and specialty dry goods, cheeses and yoghurts, plus fantastic fruit and veg and fresh flowers that change daily. They have some on display out front but head to the back of the shop for the really special stems

Bhana Brothers not only have fantastic produce but their flowers would rival a professional florist. 

Bhana Brothers have the loveliest collection of hydrangeas in the most unusual colours, perfect for an unconventional summer wedding.

fruit and veges abound!  Worth a visit!  ..... Oh - and the guys are FANTASTIC at wrapping and presenting, on the spot,  the different bunches of flowers you have chosen, if this is what is required.

This place full of goodies. Lovely fresh vegetables and fruit, special pastas, pastes and sauces, flowers and much more. If you are looking for some interesting ingredients check it out.
