SERVICE - located in Paia on one of the busier roads - parking available in nearby lots - outdoor seating on covered patio - very friendly service - food takes a little bit of time to make - restrooms available for customers in the back of the patio MENU - Mediterranean Indian fusion dishes - vegan/vegetarian options available - average price FOOD - butternut squash and garbanzo coconut curry wrap (8/10): butternut squash, chickpeas, green beans, and spinach in an Indian spiced coconut curry sauce wrapped in a tortilla and lightly grilled. This tastes like a combination between a curry and a breakfast burrito. The spices make it warming and flavorful while the butternut squash and coconut add creaminess and sweetness. The portion is generous and can be shared between 1-2 people. - vegetable curry bowl (8/10): carrot, cauliflower, and peas in a Tamil curry with a side of rice. This is a hearty and comforting meal. The flavors are similar to the butternut squash curry but this one is slightly less sweet. I personally liked the butternut squash one better but both are very tasty. - vegan crepe (8/10): buckwheat crepe filled with a lentil and tomato stew with sides of salad and hummus. This was a unique take on a crepe as I have not seen other places fill theirs with a stew. While it was a little hard to split, it was a generous portion for one person. The salad adds a pop of freshness and the hummus allows for a creamy relief from the spices. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! This is one of our favorite go to spots on the island. read more

Cafe des Amis is on the main thoroughfare in the cute town of Pa'ia. With an outdoor patio vibe, the main seating area is a covered outdoor space with gravel floor. Daughter ordered the Mediterranean crepe which came with vegetables, feta cheese and pesto ($20.50). Unfortunately, it was so salty she couldn't finish it. I got the kalua pork with goat cheese crepe ($20.50) which was delicious. The combination of the habanero salsa offset the creaminess of the goat cheese. Our server, a young man, provided standoffish service and seemed only happy once he presented us the bill with the button to choose a tip option. Otherwise, he wasn't very available. Not sure if I'd go back given other options in the area. read more

Cafe Des Amis - Kalua pork crepe - Mediterranean Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

After a long day driving at road to Hana, we made a pit stop to Paia to grab some food. We stumbled upon cafe des amis as we were walking along the streets but have also heard that their savory crepes were worth trying so we decided to stop by. The restaurant was tucked away near an ice cream shop, and had outdoor patio seating that was covered. We ordered a savory crepe, which I did really enjoy. The consistency of the crepe resembled almost like a quesadilla. It was cheesy, filling and tasty. I did not enjoy the chicken curry as much. Maybe it was my assumption that the curry would be more like an Indian style curry but I didn't notice as much of the Indian spice that I'm typically used to for this dish. The spices really reminded me of what they'd use in a Mexican dish like in a burrito bowl. We also ordered a peach/raspberry smoothie (not pictured) but it was more tarte than I would usually like. Overall, this restaurant was not a bad find for a quick bite to eat after a long day and the service was quick on a Tuesday afternoon but I probably would only order the savory crepes if I were to come back. read more

Tourist trap. One of the staff members initially snapped at us for asking a question about the seating. Without really listening. I think they may have been overwhelmed from it being busy. Slow service overall but they at least warned us that the the service was going to be slow. Our waiter brought utensils and water to the table and we had to serve ourselves water and place the utensils where they needed to go. I wouldn't really say that we received much service. The guy was nice which I gave the place 2 stars for and the ambiance was great. I ordered the mahi curry and it wasn't good. It was a super grainy off putting texture. It was served with a giant cinnamon stick which was odd. I'm not going to eat a cinnamon stick. My friends were also disappointed with their food. One ordered a chicken wrap and got a beef wrap and the other ordered a chicken curry and was unimpressed. The portions were large so you could share one dish. I had leftovers but I'm not going to eat them. I would not recommend this place. read more

I used to love this place but the most recent time I went in it took over three hours to get one margarita and one crepe. They said they lost the food order ticket and they would discount the food and then didn't even end up doing that. Crepes were cold once they came out :( for the price there's definitely a lot better options out there read more

This is one of the place you must try when you're in Paia. The ambiance is relaxing and very laid back. You can get crepes and you can get curries and by the way they also makes really phenomenal lattes! I've had the Maui Grass Fed Beef Curry that I quite enjoyed. The beef were tender and you can also ask for two different chutneys which is mango and habanero chutneys. Portion was generous, prices was reasonable and service was friendly. You will get your money worth eating here. read more

Cafe Des Amis - Maui grass feed beef curry - Mediterranean Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

Searching for a restaurant in Paia and stumbled upon this one on Google. It seemed interesting since the cuisine offered a mix between Indian and Mediterranean. Luckily, we arrived during Happy Hour so I took advantage and ordered one of their specialty cocktails--the Lillikoi Margarita. It didn't disappoint. For my meal, I got the Chicken Curry & Rice wrap. I felt that the mango chutney side wasn't needed as it already had a kick on its own. I also ended up asking for more cucumber raita as the side they offered only lasted me half the wrap. The server was nice enough to give me more at no additional charge. I really enjoyed my time here. We sat by the table directly next to the sidewalk so it was a good seat to people watch if you're into that. If i had stayed at Paia longer, I would've gone back to order something else since I left highly satisfied. read more

Love their crepes! We come here for their Breakfast Ham, Egg and Cheese Crepe. It comes with salad and sour cream. My husband and I share and we get the Strawberries and Cream for sweets. Yum! We have also gotten Banana and Chocolate or sub with Nutella. Another great option for sweets. They also have good mochas, iced or hot. There is outdoor seating as well as indoors. Service is good. They are helpful and nice. Must try when in Paia, Maui. read more

Cafe De Amis was an oasis in this quaint town. We walked in and were greeted by Ginger whose smile said, "Welcome." We both had coffees. The Americano and Caffe Vanilla were delish. This gauzy gem is filled with green plants swaying in the breeze. I love the music playing in the background which added to the beauty of our meal. I haven't even spoke about the food, yet! We tried a beef crepe and a Greek salad. The crepe was cooked just right and the beef inside tender. The Greek salad was plentiful with a tasty dressing. It was most likely the best Greek salad I've had in many moons. We had a wonderful meal. It was perfect. This was such a gift as I am recovering from a surfing accident where I broke my leg in Maui. Thank you Cafe Des Amis for your sustenance. I am in a wheelchair and they thoughtfully placed us at a table near the entrance. read more

Do I recommend this place??? Is the pope catholic???? Of COURSE I do. Not only do I recommend this place but I go out of my way to make sure when any guests come to Maui they come here! I just adore the savory crepes. Specifically the ones that make me feel most truly alive and overwhelmed with joy are the mediterranean veggie, feta, pesto and the pork, salsa ones. The little side salad always throws me for an extra whirlwind of happiness. The happy hour is good and the sweet crepes you can't go wrong. The SITTING is so adorable. Perfect hawaii, laid back, garden, open air but covered seating area. I love it here okay and I almost regret not gatekeeping this absolute gem of a restaurant but I must let the people KNOW read more

I walked in at 3:30 when no one was in the restaurant and I stood in the middle, waiting for an employee to take my order or tell me to take a seat somewhere. But every single one of them ignored me for a good 15 minutes. A new customer finally told me that I can grab a seat anywhere and I waited even longer before they brought me a menu. But I watched them bring a menu to the two new tables that walked in well after I did. I finally got to order and by this time it's been a solid 45 minutes before anybody helped me and that's just absolutely ridiculous. I cannot believe the service in this place. Waiting 45 minutes for one order is absolutely ridiculous. And then when I went up to go pay for my one drink, some girl gave me a check for over $100 and she was like yeah it's already ready but the things that she's trying to charge me for are not the things that I ordered. read more

Stopped in for a coffee and it was quick and delicious. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Very casual vibes.

Amazing crepes and great service. If we lived closer we would be there a lot. Loved it.

Didn't know what to expect here, but the ambiance and menu looked fun and different. Curry burritos?!?! In!! My girlfriend and I both agonized over the perfect selection, and neither entrée disappointed. I had the beef curry wrap, and she got the spinach feta crepe. We both liked mine better, but hers was great too...for a vegetarian meal. We really wanted a dessert crepe, but didn't have room. Boo. We will totally be back, and highly recommended this place if you're in Paia. read more

Such a cute spot in Paia! Café Des Amis is perfect for a chill lunch. Super relaxed vibe and the patio feels like you're just hanging out at a friend's house. The crepes are amazing (seriously, don't skip them), and the chicken curry wrap was SO good. Super flavorful and filling without being too heavy. Everyone working there was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely one of my favorite stops on the North Shore. Can't wait to come back! read more

Some of the best food I have ever had in the entire state of Hawaii. We had the shrimp curry, butternut squash wrap and a couple other dishes. For dessert we had the toffee crepe. The flavors are amazing. The outdoor dining area is fantastic. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Cute restaurant but they are challenged for staff and good service. The food was mediocre. The wait time was so long my partner and I were contemplating walking up to the front counter and asking for the check so we could go home. I hit a point where I was laughing with my partner at how long it was taking. If you're looking to burn time with mediocre food served then this is your place. read more

We ordered three different crepes - all super delicious! They make their own cream for the crêpes and it's a must have . Fish curry was great. It was very spicy and I asked for cucumber yogurt dip, which was perfect with the curry . Hummus was amazing! Coffee was very flavorful and hot. Great vibe. Must while on Maui. read more

DELICIOUS! We were in the area to shop and were recommended this cafe! Absolute perfect crepes!

One of my favorite restaurants on island when I'm in the mood for curry. The shrimp and coconut rice curry wrap is my go to and it never disappoints. The shareable appetizer plate for 2 with pita and olives and tzatziki is also so delicious. The ambiance is lovely and the wait staff has always been so kind! read more

The food was alright. Had the shrimp curry. Took it to go. Clearly they are not set up to sell curry to go. Came in a foil lined box so a lot of the sauce got lost in the wrinkled foil. Nothing out if this world curry wise. Still love the location and will go back to try other things on the menu. They are known for their crepes and they have a good margarita! Mahalo for doing what your doing! read more

Coconut milk based curry is usually never my preference,but to my surprise I savored it at Cafe Des Ami. They served us the vegetable curry with two chutneys - salty and tangy one. We also had Banana toffee caramel crepe and Mango Pineapple smoothie -- just loved it. I would say that it would uplift your mood instantly . The portion meal was perfect for two people. They have a pretty setup for people who want to sit outside. This place deserves a 5 star. read more

Specializing in crepes and Indian curries, this place is outstanding! Homemade dressing and salsa and chutney. This is a gem in a small town. Greek salad was Good, but the outstanding part was the dressings that were homemade. The lemon tahin dressing is green and looks just like the spicy salsa but obviously is a different sauce altogether and the other one was kind of a balsamic vinegar which was good but the limit the hein is outstanding! The curries are great with the habanero salsa or the chutney. The Kahula pork crepe has some habanero sauce (homemade)on side of it and a served with some sort of whip goat cheese which is outstanding. Desert crepe was chocolate with bananas and toffee sauce with homemade whip cream. Delightful! read more

We ordered a banana Nutella crepe, a flat white, and a cappuccino. The hot coffee drinks were very good. The crepe also tasted very good but we only gave a three stars because the banana slices were cut to thin. There was barely half a banana in the crepe! On the plus side, service was fast and the place is super cute. read more

This place is so great. Shared the Mediterranean platter appetizer, and had the Mahi Mahi curry. I had it with the habanero chutney. Divine combination. It came with the mango chutney but I recommend asking for the habanero chutney if you like spicy food. It is delicious. Also, the flatbread on the platter. Amazing. I could eat a whole plate of that. The food, so many healthy delicious options. I will be back. My friend lives here and she eats here all the time. I can see why. We all had the lilikoi margaritas , so amazing. The place is so inviting and the outdoor indoor decor was beautiful. Loved all the plants. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and it was an all around great experience. Plus, the location is great. Easy to stroll around go shopping and look at all the shops around Paia after the meal. read more

It took us getting up and asking for a glass of water to even be acknowledged that we were there. We ordered literally one appetizer plate to share and one crepe and waited over an hour to get the appetizer, it was SHOCKING. We get that the kitchen gets backed up, but it wasn't crowded and honestly, the biggest problem was that the waitress never even came to check in on us, not even once. This young, thin brunette girl was so passive aggressive and rude she should not be in this job. It just created a bad vibe for the whole experience. I have had this experience twice here and I won't be going back for a third. read more

Don't let this restaurant's identity crisis fool you, the curry is sublime! It also has a great vibe, maybe the only place currently open in town that reminds you you're on an island. The curry was amazing but I can't give this 5 stars until it figures out what it wants to be... no one wants a Mediterranean sampler plate as an appetizer before a curry bowl. Also, the curry seems more Thai than Indian, and there are no Mediterranean entrees. They should change the name to "Curry House", ditch the random appetizers, add some samosas to the menu and call it a day. Great service and good Mai Tai. read more

Cafe de Amis is my gold standard crepe. Any crepe I try I will compare to Cafe de Amis. So far I haven't had a crepe that was better than here! The savory crepes are loaded with fillings. There are a lot of sweet crepes to choose from but my favorite is the Nutella! Lots of delicious options to try in addition to crepes such as various curries and Mediterranean tapas. read more
