There's been a surge in bookings for the world's first Michelin star Samoan restaurant. 

Auckland's Tala was awarded a single star at last night's New Zealand Michelin Guide awards, alongside 14 other star-winners.

It was first time the event was held on our shores - after a $6.3 million dollar Government investment. 

Restaurant founder and chef Henry Onesemo says he's already noticed some additional interest.

"There's like 300 emails that we have to go through today, and it just seems non-stop at the moment."
