Found this place just 100M from the waterfront. Had a really good tropical feel, the burgers were…read moreonly $10 each and they had a great range and choice. The burgers tastes amazing and the chips were done just right. Had a mango and coconut vodka cocktail which tasted amazing as well. Again had a good cocktail range all for about $12. Overall was a great experience, would recommend and come again.

After passing many closed roadside cafes on the way to Kerikeri, we passed the sign for Madly. From…read morethe road it looked inviting, so we turned around and I'm so glad we did. Appetizer was fish tikka, excellent. I had lamb Rogan Josh and it was probably the most tender lamb I've had. Wife had delicious vege korma. The food was great, ambiance was great. I recommend.

Staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant was lovely inside and out. We chose to sit in the protected outdoor patio overlooking the gardens.

When I saw the Waffle Room menu, as a waffle lover, I wanted to change my order, and the staff was great about it. Sure I was probably the worst tourist to them, but they played it off very sweetly. I am so happy I changed my order. We got the American (bacon, bananas, and maple syrup), the Bacon & Pesto, and the Lemon Bomb (a lemon ice cream, meringue, and lemon curd) waffle. I can't decide which was the best, and I easily could have eaten three more. The flavors were so fresh, unique, and delicious. The waffle was perfect. The toppings were plentiful. It was the best experience. We even sat through rain to eat slowly and savor every bite.

All were great. Khan Bros and the oyster platter were standouts--both were inventive and tasty. Service was friendly and attentive (though we came on a slow Monday night so I don't know how it gets when busy). You'll have to wade through pictures on here to find the menu in case you want to take a peep beforehand as the menu on their site seems to be out of date.

We booked a table for 6 30 on a Friday, and then place was packed and very noisywhen we arrived…read more We shared the Haku Kingfish sashimi starter, which had a yummy ponzu sauce and some interesting tapioca crackers, which were black with small white blisters - really unusual. Main course was the market fish, a bl we fin tuna variant on a wonderful green sauce that's apparently a local delicacy, although we passed on the beef lardons that normally go with it. Even without the lardons, it was fantastic For desert, they named to Manchester a vegan chocolate cheesecake option. That, and a couple of glasses of port, rounded off the evening nicely

We had a short time for a light lunch and decided to stop in. Our server was very friendly and…read morehelpful. When I asked what she recommended, she said that the Aglio and the Te Ika Mata are great paired together - so that what we went for. The Aglio is Confit garlic, Rosemary salt and Truffle Mascarpone. The Te Ika Mata is raw market fish (cod today), coconut, coriander, chili and lime. The Aglio was warm and fresh and the the confit garlic had a great flavor without being overpowering and was very good. The Te Ika Mata had a wonderful flavor - a hint of lime mixed with the coriander (cilantro for those from the U.S. in a liquid with subtle coconut flavor. The flavors worked so well together - I was very pleasantly surprised and our server was right - the two (Aglio and Te Ika Mata) worked very well together. It was light yet satisfying and I would absolutely order it again!

I have another review already for here. Check my profile…read more But here's an update. Seated @ 630PM Wednesday night. Not too busy, steady, but not busy. Probably height of service. Takes 30 mins after our drinks were ordered for tap beer & chai tea to arrive. What were you doing ? Picking tea leaves & brewing the beer ? Takes just over an hour for our bread selection & dips to arrive. It's delicious, but there's only one type of bread. & 1 Hour wait for bread & dips ? Once again, what were you doing ? Kneading & rising the bread ? Then, food comes out. I had Haloumi Stack as I did the last time I dined in. Last time it was AMAZING. This time the haloumi was hard, I could hardly cut it, it was dry & cold, as was the risotto as well. My partners pizza was scolding hot, which leaves me only a choice to consider the fact that maybe my meal was cooked too soon. This is my 3rd time dining in. Once for lunch, twice for dinner. I've also ordered takeaway pizza 3 maybe 4 times too. Lunch service was good, was impressed with food & service. First dinner experience is explained in my previous review, below average. This dinner service... WAY BELOW AVERAGE. By the time we left we were actually too exhausted to complain from waiting for so long. Blue haired waitress didn't apologize once for the long wait, so I'm assuming it usually takes 30 mins for drinks & an hour for bread. Mains came out in a reasonable time, about 30 mins, but like I mentioned. Mine was like warm. Takeaway pizza is great. Not complaints there. Each time I dined in it got worse & worse. TAKE AWAY IT IS ! Oh & also water here tastes like chlorine.....
