Amazing stop for dinner on a roady from Auckland to Tauranga. Warm and welcoming, and the food was delicious. Nice sized portions, not too huge like a lot of places. Had the lamb and Moroccan shish plates, plus the baclava. And had a lovely chat with the chef owner who came around to see how everyone was doing. A nice revitalizing dinner for two tired travelers!
Great spot to dine giving relaxed country vibes. The meals were very tasty, having parties inside my mouth with every bite. Pasta and fish were the stand out dishes for me. And the chef/owner/staff were genuinely friendly too! Having a dog-friendly area takes this cafe above and beyond. We will definitely be back.
We stumbled upon this spot on Google Maps and took a chance - we're so glad we did! The host/chef was friendly and accommodating, especially with my wife's gluten-free dietary needs - everything was either GF or could be made so. The food was top-notch, with amazing flavors that impressed us both. We even indulged in strawberries and ice cream for dessert (hard to resist, right?). Simple, yet satisfying. We'll definitely be back, and we've already recommended it to friends visiting town. Thanks for the warm welcome and delicious meal!
Lovely service served by Roland and had a nice chat :) very sweet. Food was amazingly delicious, special dish (curry) that was recommended to us by the chef himself. We ordered it and was not disappointed very wholesome and heart warming 🥰
The best restaurant in the area! A perfect place for anyone who appreciates high-quality food prepared with real passion. Roland is an incredible chef! :) We had the lamb and the beef cheeks - the meat was unbelievably tender, the sauce was rich and delicious, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly as well. For dessert, we absolutely loved the baklava. It was crispy, beautifully balanced, and honestly one of the best baklavas we’ve ever tried (even in Turkey it’s hard to find one this good, haha) An excellent place that I highly recommend. The prices are above average, but the food is far superior to many other restaurants, and it is definitely worth it.
