The 13 best spots for crepes in Rotorua

OMG it was very good. We didn’t think much of it. Came because the hotel recommended… We had Eggs Benedict and the Omelet of the day (spinach, onion, cheese and bacon). The bread tastes like it is homemade…Also 2 coffees. Everything was great and tasty. Price affordable. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend this place to everyone who want to celebrate a special day! I had the lamb there and it was juicy, tender, and savory! Entree shrimp was fresh and bouncy as well. Their service was beyond the top! Christian is so professional and friendly! We had good time there and definitely will go back again!

It was pretty quiet when we went because we’re Mexican, so we eat dinner late, but I ordered the fish of the day and wow 🤩 delicious! The fish was perfectly cooked and the sauce was creamy and flavorful! Everyone else also seemed to enjoy their food with the exception of the pumpkin soup which lacked flavor. Good dining experience overall!

The prices are on the higher side, but the food was tasty and well presented. Service was good too.

Chose this place because it was very close to our motel. We both had scotch fillets. My husband's medium-rare one was delicious but my rare one was tough and had a reasonable amount of gristle through it - at over $50 I was not expecting that. It tasted good though and the accompanying diced mushrooms were exceptional. Our berry crumbles were delicious. The service was exceptionally friendly, attentive and refreshingly professional. I loved that there was no music.

We visited Urbano Bistro with our 7-year-old daughter hoping for a pleasant family meal, but left underwhelmed and frustrated. While the service was genuinely good—staff were friendly and attentive—that was about the only positive. My wife’s chicken dish was the sole highlight; it was well-executed and flavorful. Unfortunately, everything else fell flat. My tarakihi fish was painfully average, tasting like something reheated from a supermarket freezer section. The accompanying salad was equally uninspired: limp lettuce with a few haphazard chunks of apple. No dressing, no seasoning, no effort. The real letdown was my daughter’s kids’ menu beef nachos. What arrived was a greasy, stodgey mess—dripping in oil, heavy, and completely unappetatable. She took one bite and pushed it away. I tried it to see if it was salvageable and nearly gagged; it was that oily and dense. For a children’s dish, this was unacceptable. Portions were generous in size but not in quality, and the prices were frankly outrageous for such mediocre (and in some cases, inedible) food. We’ve had far better meals at nearby restaurants for less money. The restaurant itself was clean, but the atmosphere was nonexistent—sterile lighting, no music, no warmth. It felt more like a cafeteria than a bistro. Verdict: Skip Urbano Bistro unless you enjoy overpaying for supermarket-tier food in a soulless setting. There are plenty of better options for family dining in the area. One star for the service and my wife’s chicken—everything else was a miss. Fat Brothers in the CBD was outstanding.

Absolutely beautiful meal. My work colleague and I both had the lamb rump, it was perfectly cooked and accompanying vegetables were delicious. Special of the day dessert - rhubarb and strawberry crumble was a delicious blend of flavours. 10/10 on all counts. Thank you for a lovely evening

The Moroccan chicken salad was exceptional. We bought two to go after trying it in house. We would have preferred our coffee a bit hotter especially on a rainy day though.

I came here for breakfast and unfortunately left underwhelmed. The interior feels more like a school canteen than a cosy café, and the only good spot is the outdoor seating where you can at least enjoy the view. From the entrance through to the inside, the place looked visibly dirty, which really put me off. The staff taking orders seemed too serious and didn’t even offer a greeting, which set the tone for the visit. The food itself was just okay – nothing to complain about but nothing memorable either. Overall, I’d only consider this café as a last option.

Food is cooked well and very enjoyable meal Everytime we come service is always excellent was very busy today but still not a long wait not much options on the menu but everything is yum

Great view of the lake! good food but serving’s on the smaller side. not a fan of their chai latte

A beautiful view of the lake with great coffee and food. Awesome staff. Definitely worth the visit.

Great food, friendly and efficient service and lots of parking. We managed to get a table with a view and even saw a little black mittens cat strolling by next door. The (dairy free) banana smoothie was delicious (but a little on the sweet side), the lemon, ginger honey tea was good too. The seafood chowder was very wholesome and had good flavours to it - bread was a little small. The creamy mushrooms with bread was really nice, very generous serve. We took away a strong cappuccino, and that was good too.

We came to try it out on our way through and unfortunately it didn’t live up to its ratings. The view is amazing, but the cafe is noisy due to the design. Very hard to hear anything. The food was very average. We had items out of the cabinet (which they had a large selection) but the food was just ok. Nothing to write home about. The only item any of us would re order was the custard slice. The boys had iced coffee and iced chocolate. Which both were good. I had a hot large coffee. It was brought out way after everything else and was a touch burnt. Sadly there isn’t enough positive here to bring us back again.

Absolutely loved my experience at Le Cafe de Paris in Rotorua! The food was fantastic, especially the crepe — generously portioned and absolutely delicious. The crepe has a touch of sweetness, so if you're not big on sweet treats, I’d recommend letting them know your preference. The cafe exudes a charming French vibe that truly made me feel like I was transported straight to France. The staff were polite and friendly, and service was impressively quick. Overall, a wonderful spot for a taste of France in Rotorua — I’ll definitely be returning!

Absolutely loved the experience of dining at Le Cafe De Paris in Rotorua. What a beautiful atmosphere, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and made you feel at home as soon as you walked in the door. I loved all of the Paris memorabilia, it took me back to when I visited Paris and now I want to go back. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered toasties and French crepes… superb! The crepes were incredible, and melted in the mouth. Food came out so quickly! I cannot wait until my next visit, I will definitely be back sooner rather than later. Merci

I have never been to Paris but I am guessing that when you enter Le Cafe De Paris that is what a cafe might feel like in Paris France. The atmosphere is amazing. The pictures all over the walls. The smell of fresh baked goods and food being prepared takes you far away yet you are here in this little fantastic cafe. Watching the owner make the crepes was great. She was so skilful. The food was amazing and the everyday breakfast was so with the value. It’s a shame I have never been to this place before even after coming to Rotorua since 2002. We had the everyday breakfast, crepes suzettes, almond croissants, pot of tea and a Latte. Lovely service and great food.

The owner is French - very authentic food. She is also very nice and friendly. The food is excellent and so is the coffee. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Rotorua. The only complaint I have is that it is rather pricey; we mostly go on special occasions. If it were less expensive, we would definitely go more often. Note that the restaurant itself is not very large so it does tend to fill up during normal meal times.

Très bien! What a lovely café in the heart of Rotorua! We came across Paris Café while walking around the city centre and were greeted by such friendly staff. We ordered a big brekkie and two crêpes to share—banana & Nutella, and lemon & sugar. Both were delicious! I loved the aesthetics of the café—decorated with charming French-themed details, it had such a cute and cozy vibe. It was quite packed, but that just added to the lively atmosphere. A great spot for both sweet tooths and savoury lovers. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this cafe and the food served here. Watching the galettes in the making is pretty special, and the omelettes are outstanding. Great coffee too, and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommend!

Le Café de Paris is a real gem in Rotorua — it feels like you’ve stepped straight into a Parisian café. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented; fresh pastries, perfect coffee, and generous portions at very reasonable prices. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, creating a relaxed atmosphere where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The café itself is spotless, with a lovely French ambience and plenty of seating. It’s rare to find this level of quality and value together. Highly recommended for breakfast, brunch, or just a great coffee and croissant. Will definitely be back!

A beautiful hidden gem outer Rotovegas. Being local for many years but you guys were in my to do list. Finally ticked off 😁 Wow, that smash burger so mouthwatering and money worth. And your customer service is fantastic. The atmosphere gives the relaxing vibe. Also, the wee store sells local stuffs like locally made honey (I bought one already), hand made air freshners etc. And we brought some muffins and slices of cakes on our way. They were so yum. Quality of food at its best! Highly recommended as a local ❤️

The BEST coffee we’ve had on our NZ trip. Great food and super friendly staff and customers. A huge choice of local beers and gifts. Thanks for having us Okere Falls store ☺️

Stopped in today for lunch and my wife and I loved our lunch (Kimchi toastie and savoury muffin) with a great NZ craft beer. I have also been trying ginger slice every lunch time stop on the North and South Island. Big call here this little cafe had the best one yet!!!

Finally stopped by this café we always pass on the way to Tauranga , and so glad we did! It’s a cozy little spot by Okere falls. The whole experience was awesome. The food was delicious with big portions and good prices. Coffee was perfect, and the customer service was friendly and welcoming. Such a nice, peaceful vibe.

Heard about this little gem from a few locals and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and great value for money. I added salmon to my chilli scrambled eggs, some places charge $6 and give you barely anything, but here the portion was generous and totally worth it. Highly recommend!

What an absolute gem! This place is awesome. We stayed nearby and ended up here each day of our stay. The food was fabulous and very high quality, the service was lovely and friendly, the coffee was top notch, and the beer (according to my husband) was awesome. For the quality of everything, the prices were also super reasonable. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Unexpectedly the best ham and cheese toasties ! Toasted sourdough with fresh mozzarella was divine. Delightful experience for our weekend trip. Dr Bucha was so nice too.

I love this market great atmosphere. Great stalls. All sorts of food. Yum.

Shifted to kuirau park unknowing since last week we heard! So the winds were blowing cold in the evening so load up on the clothes! Near the playground so it’s good for the kids to burn while we take turns to buy food and eat together. Oven baked pizza ham and pineapple was yummy with chewy crust base nzd23. deep fried prawn, fatty pork + Charsiew noodle soup was fantastic to warm the stomach, plus a nzd10 meaty hotdog to end the day for our family of 2+2. Wanted to soak leg but winds were too cold didn’t prep the kIds enough warm clothes today!

🌃 Rotorua Night Market is an absolute gem! Stepping into this vibrant hub, I was pleasantly surprised by the infusion of Asian culture in a predominantly Western setting. Open only on Thursdays, the atmosphere is electric, with palpable enthusiasm evident in the bustling crowds, long queues, and contagious joy all around. One standout attraction is the automated donut station, a testament to the Western penchant for technological innovation. It's fascinating to witness how technology enhances even the simplest pleasures. Moreover, towards the end of the market, a Chinese stall beckons with irresistible offerings, boasting the most value-packed meals. True to Asian hospitality, despite the bustling queues, the stall owners are incredibly kind and efficient, ensuring prompt service and delicious fare. Their mention of winning accolades for their street-side stall only adds to their credibility. If you find yourself in town, I highly recommend paying a visit to Chinese Siu Mei. It's an experience not to be missed, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the rich tapestry of flavors and cultures that make Rotorua Night Market a must-visit destination.

Been to countless night markets in Auck, this was however more spacious and plenty of room for buyers to mingle and enjoy the evening vibe. Held on a Thursday weekly from 5 to 9pm . Lots of new stuff to try out . Dont miss If your in Roto for a visit.

Great experience. Enjoy the variety of cultures, meals, smells...also live singers. Nice evening walk with music and great food. Night market between 17-21h.

Good range of food trucks! Unfortunately it's mostly food available & only a few non food stalls.. Was looking forward to shopping for local craft or inedible Rotorua souvenirs.. Recommended for the experience though...

We definitely love the wide range of food stalls and other items. Buskers at both ends of the market with appreciative crowds sitting and having a feed while listening. The crowd level was reasonable with a number of stalls with queues. We decided to buy sourdough bread, almond croissants and sweets. The bakery products were top-notch. Unfortunately I couldn't remember the name of the stall business.

the atmosphere was great just walking into the cafe, very warm and inviting. the same can be said about the kind staff :) I had the creamy mushroom dish, with warm toasted ciabatta, and creamy mushrooms in a rich sauce and parmesan. the side of bacon is a nice touch; definitely a lot of rich, hearty flavours. the price is quite high for the meals but understandable in the current economy. definitely a nice place to visit while staying in rotorua with your family!

Another good outlet. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The quality of the menu and food is great 👍 and I would recommend a visit for a meal. Enjoy 😉

I came here with my family and ordered three servings of the “fish of the day,” but the fish was extremely fishy and almost inedible. We gave feedback the first time and were completely ignored. After asking again, a tall man finally came over, and we even offered him an untouched portion to taste. However, after he took the plate away, we waited for over 20 minutes and no one came back to explain or follow up. Right before we left, we had to approach them again, and the man just coldly said, “The fish isn’t fishy — it’s fresh,” completely dismissing our experience. The whole situation was extremely disappointing — the staff were dismissive, unhelpful, and showed no respect for customer feedback. This was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. We will never come back and definitely do not recommend this place to anyone.

$9.40 for a large flat white with oat milk…now I understand why the coffee prices aren’t on the board. The coffee was excellent and breakfast was lovely, but I can’t get past the cost. Feels like daylight robbery. Sorry guys - I’ve been here before and remembered it being great, so I came back while in town, but that eye-watering price has lost me.

Walking through the doors, the setup and arrangement were inviting. There were great options to choose from, a relaxing atmosphere, and wonderful staff.

Fantastic food, and service. The pork belly was outstanding. We liked the food so much we came back a second day in a row. And we were staying in Taupo! The cakes and desserts are outstanding also. Definitely the best Eggs Benedict in Rotorua!

I only had a coffee today but the selection of cakes, eats etc.was fantastic. Coffee was Delicious. I had a cuppa into. Vibe was lovely!

Great place to go for breakfast. The customer service was absolutely awesome. Such kind and friendly staff who will actually have a chat with you. Food is delicious and it's a cute little place.

My Favourite Husband was running the Rotovegas marathon today. Which meant I had many hours to kill, alone, on one of the busiest days for the town. Picnic was on the sunny side of the street and right next to the finish line for the event so I assumed it was going to be packed and consequently slow. I was mistaken. Mistaken, because I am never wrong. Ask my Favourite Husband. I don’t generally like eating alone, but I didn’t fancy a generic hotel breakfast where we had stayed the night before. So I channeled my inner brave grown up, and ventured in. Friendly staff, plenty of tables and very reasonable prices. I sat outside in the sun. And within minutes my almond milk chai latte came in a decent sized mug. Not long after, my eggs Benedict arrived. I’d thrown all caution and dietary requirements to the wind, I was part of a marathon by default after all, and I ordered it as it came. Bread and all. Look, I’ll be honest, my expectations were not high. Dammit, I’ll admit it, I actually was wrong. This was perfect. Very generous on the bacon and cooked to crispy, yet succulent perfection. Perfect eggs. Delicious hollandaise. But people, the piece de resistance … the little side of garlicky, basil pesto. Perfection. Next time my Favourite Husband does something silly in Vegas, I’ll be back. Great work. Great value. Great service.

Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 3/5 The egg on toast was good. Serving size was good too. Apple crumble was excellent with vanilla icecream. Cappuccino was ok.

Eating out / ordering takeout meals seemed to be a challenge for my 2-week trip to NZ (Nth Is) - never quite getting what we hoped would be the best version of what we had ordered. But Picnic Cafe in Rotorua was one of a tiny group of exceptions. Breakfast is usually governed by the "soft, warm and savory" rule and what we got was this and more (as hashbrowns are the crunchy exception to the above guidance!!). Tasty and generous, served quickly despite being reasonably busy with friendly/polite service. The prices were also reasonable if even a fracture better than most others. We were lucky to get a parking spot directly out front however being in the central city area parking may be more challenging at other times. This is one that I have saved to my favourites for future trips.

We all agreed on a 5 but I’d give a six if I could - delicious Shakshouka.

picnic breakfast was excellent, amazing hash browns. they also have cut out the puzzles from the papers so there’s lots to choose from which is great!

Had a lovely breakfast for a group of 8 here. They were very accommodating for our large group and straight away ensured that we were seated. Coffee came very quickly and tasted great. Food was slightly smaller portioned for the price but it’s expected at a tourist town. Service was friendly and welcoming.

A good brunch venue with a unique flavour profile that was delicious. We were the first here on a Wednesday morning, and the service was good. We had two flat whites which were very tasty alongside the eggs and bacon on toast, and the French toast with bacon. The chef had forgotten the bacon but this was cooked and corrected within minutes. This had been recommended both in a blog and a visit New Zealand book, and we certainly would recommend a visit. The French toast came with coconut yoghurt and homemade compote which had an Indian spice taste. These were great additions to breakfast!!

Staff were lovely and sweet. Our food was so yummy and the presentation was 10/10. We went back again next day for drinks for our drive back home and would definitely go back again. Lovely people and service, very welcoming.

Such quick service and some of the best South American/ Mediterranean style cuisine I've had EVER. Waitresses are very friendly and host quickly. The food is very reasonably priced and they give Huge portions. NZ Must Do check!

Really nice. Can't believe how cool the bar down the back is, and to have the enclosed areas outside at the back - great to bring kids. Coffee is good as well. Check out my photos- they had a ridiculously giant sausage roll for sale in the cafe...

We ordered entrées for dinner, it was a first time here. The Jalapeños were quite spicy but to my liking. We weren't really fond of the Chilli prawns.The meatballs and baby ribs were nice. The garlic cheese bread was YUMMY! I also enjoyed the Coconut Green Tea, good size pot.

Good food, good service. Took some time for food to be served, but it was still worth it. Ordered the fajitas which was awesome! (Waitress recommended chicken, another said prawns was her favourite, so up to you). I enjoyed the abracadabra steak as well. Lovely ambience and not too expensive, so try it!

Pretty nice food, good service and nice atomasphere. They cater to dietary requirements and have loads of gluten free options. 4/5 stars for the bitter coffee, other than that it was good.

We ordered eggs on toast, shashuka eggs, mince on toast. Scrambled eggs. Tbh, not the best experience the eggs are a bit runny and soggy. My friend ordered shashuka. She said it’s 👍 with good seasoning. Also, mince on toast is well-seasoned with a nice depth of flavor. It hit the comfort food spot, but it was a bit too oily. Overall, the food are decent and I would recommend to visit.

A decent spot in Rotorua with promise! Not a bad option, and one that seemed less busy on the day. A good range of options available! The open steak sandwich, despite not being “open” (just an observation), was well executed. The onion rings were a fun addition. The sauce I’d wanted from the menu wasn’t available, and staff didn’t ask what alternative I’d like — not a big deal, but it would’ve been nice if they had. It was also a little tricky eating from a high-rimmed plate; maybe serving the fries separately would help. At least everything was tasty! The chicken and bacon waffles were phenomenal — neatly presented, perfectly cooked, and needed nothing fancy. I ordered a white chocolate mocha but received a regular one, still delicious, and not worth the hassle of changing after waiting. Still, a quick order check with customers could help avoid small mix-ups, especially when it’s not too busy. Maybe it was just a one-off error, but it would be good to check this with customers in the future.

We enjoyed hearty, tasty food here and came back twice as the coffee and breakfast was so good. The Mini Beni was just perfect.

Food as very well presented and very flavorful... Vegan meals and options were great. We had the vege stack and it was AMAZING our 4yr and 1yr old smashed them and I had to order another for me! Chicken burger and Mince on toast was also yum! Coffee and food came out fast and the service was great. Serving size could have been slightly bigger for the Burger and Mince on toast but we will be back next time.

the food was soooooo good and they were very generous with the portions! highly recommend the open steak sandwich & the chicken fungi!! 10/10 🤩

Went today and sampled their breakfast/brunch. I had equivalent of a big breakfast, where to start.. well presented! Tasted as good as it looked! I genuinely say this is the best breakfast I have had in Rotorua in a long time by far! And I've had a few! No exageration! Coffee was good too! And my friend agreed! Recommend!

One of the best breakfast ever in town. One of the fantastic spot for breakfast! They serve up delicious dishes, and the staff there are super friendly and attentive. It's a great place to start your day with a tasty meal and a welcoming atmosphere.

I visited on April 25 2025, hoping to get a taste of comforting food but I was really disappointed. The broth was plain yet, overly spicy, the flavor was far from authentic, and the meat used in my bowl (the spicy beef noodle soup) was clearly a very cheap cut 🤮 Totally overpriced Definitely won’t be coming back

This is truly one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have visited in recent times. The dishes are authentic, full of flavor, and prepared with great attention to detail. I was impressed by the wide range of menu options, which makes it easy to find something for every taste. It is clear that the restaurant has a strong sense of competitiveness, not only in the quality of the food but also in the overall dining experience. The only minor downside is that the WiFi connection does not actually work, even though the signal is visible. However, this small inconvenience is easily overlooked when compared to the pleasant atmosphere, the welcoming ambiance, and the excellent service provided by the staff. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and I am already looking forward to coming back for another visit.

This was a nice place to have dinner after a long day, we had a group of about 6 people and it went super well. The food was nice, atmosphere as well, but even if it's really authentic, it in general wasn't the best it could be. Four stars, not bad!!

For lunch, we ordered egg coffee, fried rice, beef pho, spring rolls with seafood, and crispy eggs with seafood for three people. The portion sizes are quite large, so I highly recommend the pho and the crispy eggs. However, I don’t recommend the seafood fried rice.

Last night we ended up having an unimaginative, stodgy meal in our hotel. We went looking for something better tonight, and found Saigon '60s. Spicy lemongrass noodles with tofu was delicious - full of flavour and a generous serve. The roast pork pho was also excellent. It's mid-winter, so not a lot of fresh herbs around, but they still got great flavour and freshness. Staff were lovely - a real family feel. Will come back again next time we're in Rotorua.

Great place for pho if you are craving for Vietnamese rice noodles. Tasted good. However, we would like to see a bigger portion for the price you pay and also like to see hot tea served as standard as you see in other authentic Viet restaurants.

My favourite place to eat in rotorua. Lots of vegan options. Food is always fresh & flavorsome, never been disappointed. Great value for money. Staff are lovely. Wish I could dine here everyday.

Rather underwhelmed with our recent visit to the coffee club. We make this a weekly visit with the kids after a bike ride in the forest. We usually order a coffee, smoothie and iced chocolate which they were to normal standards. However the hot chips were almost a side portion. Extremely disappointed with the amount we paid of $14.50 for a ‘Large bowl of Seasoned fries’. You used to get the whole plate with the sauces stacked on top. Hopefully management/chefs reconsider the amount they are serving their patrons

My daily coffee addiction started here! While staying at a lake house in Rotorua, I decided to order delivery from The Coffee Club. Big mistake... I got completely hooked on their cappuccinos! What started as a one off order turned into my essential morning ritual. I really wanted the Giant, Fluffy Blueberry pancake with Mascarpone, but was looking for a healthier option and their Mushroom, Feta, & Spinach Open Omelette was delicious. The portion was massive, way more than I expected. Plus the wholegrain ciabatta was perfectly crisp, just the way it should be. Every morning I found myself reaching for my phone to order another cappuccino. The quality was so consistent that it became the best part of waking up during my stay. The Coffee Club knows how to do breakfast right. Great coffee, generous portions, and food that actually tastes amazing when it arrives. Already planning my next Rotorua trip and you can bet I'll be ordering from them again. If you're in Rotorua and want proper coffee and a hearty breakfast, this is your spot. Just don't blame me when you get as addicted to their cappuccinos as I did! Also, their cup designs are adorable and fun!

Really nice brunch. Friendly service, efficient and good prices too. Liked this one, would go back again. Place was clean and pretty busy but no delays between ordering and food and drinks arriving.

I came to this place for a Friday brunch, and overall it was a very disappointing experience—made worse by the shocking sight of a rat running around inside the café. To start with the food: I ordered the smashed avocado and the vegan ciabatta sandwich, but unfortunately, neither dish was enjoyable. Both were served cold, lacked seasoning, and tasted bland. The smashed avocado dish was especially underwhelming—the pumpkin and mushrooms were soggy and cold, which really impacted the overall texture and flavor. My wife and I ended up leaving half our meals untouched simply because they weren’t appetizing. On a more positive note, the vanilla latte I ordered was actually quite good and was the only part I finished. However, just as we were leaving after using the bathroom, a rat suddenly appeared inside the café. Staff and customers scrambled to catch it, creating an unsettling and chaotic scene. Eventually, it was caught and placed in a box by a staff member, which only raised further concerns about the hygiene and cleanliness of the establishment. Given the poor food quality, high prices, and serious hygiene issues, this is not a place I would return to or recommend for brunch.

Delicious food, great service, and a calm atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday, so it appeared quiet and calm inside. Parking available, toilets, and there is enough room to navigate through the tables. Staff were friendly, courteous, and polite.

Absolutely loved my visit to this café! The food was delicious and beautifully presented — fresh, flavorful, and generous in portion size, definitely worth the money. The protein smoothie was amazing — perfectly balanced, rich, and refreshing! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, creating such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The place itself is bright and inviting, with plenty of parking which makes it even more convenient. Overall, a fantastic experience — great food, great vibes, and great service. Can’t wait to come back again! 🌿☕💛

Food was yum, got the club sandwich and chorizo and chicken loaded fries. Serving size was good, club sandwich could do with a bit more sauce. Service was good and didn’t have to wait long, I also got the white chocolate thick shake which was pretty legit.

Really friendly staff. Really good food. If you love spice i will definitely recommend it. Small shop but great taste. I especially loved the momo( dumplings) which i had heard great things about and definitely was not disappointed. The size and the quantity didn’t disappoint.

⸻ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Truly Authentic Indian Flavors! Absolutely delicious! The food tasted just like homemade Indian cuisine – rich in flavor and perfectly spiced. Every dish was aromatic and full of depth, especially the kadai paneer and malaikofta. The naan was soft and fresh. You can tell they use real spices and traditional recipes. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Indian food!

This was some of the best Indian food I’ve had, despite the location’s unassuming exterior. You can tell the owners take great pride in their food. The saag paneer was delicious, but the garlic naan made the meal. Thank you!

One of the best decisions we made on our trip was to take a quick stop at this restaurant. The food was amazing and so was the gentleman at the counter. We loved it so much that we ordered the next day as well. Dear Mr Bhandari, please keep up the good work and spreading smiles with the wonderful food. Cheerios

"I'm obsessed with this Indian takeaway! The flavors are always on point, and the portions are generous. From creamy curries to spicy jhol momos , if you are aminos lover this place is heaven for you ,best jhol momos around Rotorua.every dish is a winner. The service is always friendly,very kind chefs.and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend trying the Jhol momos -trust me, you won't regret it! 👌🍴"

Excellent Aloo pratha, had little spice, tangy and perfect for my test buds. I never eat like this taste pratha in my whole life. It was compliment with nice home made youghart. If you visit ask for customised as your test. Keep it up the nice work.

Excellent food prepared by Khim Lal Bhandari of Great Spice Real taste of India at Rotorua .. worth a visit and must try his excellent cooking

Lovely setting, inside with art or outside with birdsong. Terrific Turkish eggs& they adjusted to my taste. Highly recommended and I’d def come back, meet friends or colleagues here. Parking was easy too.

cozy little place with fair quality light Cafe food. alot of the things on the menue were not available (at 1130am), including avocado. kitchen was bit too heavy handed with the sauce. nearby art workshops a good place to explore while waiting for the food.

Lovely staff and great food

Bacon & mushroom eggs benedict, has to be one of the best I’ve ever had! Thank you

Enjoyed good food and good coffee while surrounded by art. 🙂 One painting caught my eye, hanging on the wall near our table. It was off a woman diving into black space, and on either side of her were a number of mirrors; many broken, and some with faces peering in. It made me wonder if she was looking for something or someone. Or if she was looking for herself.

The setting is lovely and the staff are friendly, however the food was extremely disappointing. The Shakshuka was a tin of diced tomatoes with eggs on top. No seasoning and a bitter tomato taste. I would suggest the chef hasn’t actually tasted this.

Great choice to come here. Breakfast was outstanding. Eggs Benedict and waffles, exactly as expected. Very friendly service! We had a nice big table in the sun and spent some time playing a family board game during brekkie. Thank you!
