Workers were very nice. I ordered the French toast, which was decent. It came with a banana that was cooked, which was good but different for me. It also had two strips of bacon and chocolate sauce. My husband ordered a burger and had them add as egg on top. The cook initially got his order wrong so his food came out later than mine, but his burger was fine and it came with a mountain of fries. I got an Americano with milk, which was decent. New Zealanders love their espresso!

It was underwhelming. But the lamb shank was great!! And we choose the "potato of the day" which was a cheesy, garlicy mess of deliciousness on the plate! The lamb salad had a nice yogurt dressing, lots of good veggies and feta cheese and the lamb was rare as requested. Overall eat lamb as intended here, and you'll be in good shape. We also both liked our beer and wine selections too.

Coffee- used C4 coffee. The girls here make great coffee. Smooth tasting. Food- a good selection of all day breakfast as well as some more significant bites. I highly recommend their burgers. Very well made, the meat patty was very juicy and tender. Good seasoning. The chips are ok, not too spectacular. Technology- unlimited wireless internet for a dollar. Definitely come back here again.

After a long drive from Nelson, we arrived into sleepy Greymouth and immediately looked for a place…read moreto grab dinner. Not going to lie, there's not much choice. We settled on Zaika, a Moroccan restaurant. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 7:30pm) to a packed house. The inside has a strange layout; they don't make full use of their space very well. Service is friendly enough but they were running around and seemed to forget about us. Pay at the counter when you're done. The menu is split into starters, Zaika bowls, Zaika wraps, pita pocket, Zaika salad, kid's meals and a royal platter. The platter ($49.90 NZD) sounded tasty and a good way to share. - Wedges ($5.00 NZD) - this was actually a good portion size. Decent seasoning and most of the wedges were crispy. The sauce/aioli was neutral but tasteless. - Grilled fish Zaika bowl ($17.50 NZD) - we decided to share a bowl and asked for half Arabic rice and half couscous. For the salads, we picked corn salsa, grilled vege and carrots & beet. Sauce was hummus but it was different than what we expected. They mixed it in with the rest of the ingredients. We also got our bowl medium spicy but it was only in the tiniest manner. Fish was perfectly grilled but it was soooooo salty. Sad because it ruined the flavours. Everything else was tasty and nutritious. Try the lamb instead (our second choice).

We ate here for lunch one day after seeing it had a good rating on Yelp and Google. When we…read morearrived, we saw that they had painted on the front window that they had been a finalist for top cafe in New Zealand three times 3 times in the past 8 years or so. However, from what I saw, this was completely unwarranted. This cafe was average in every way. I can't think of a single thing they excelled at, though at the same time I can't think of anything that was clearly subpar. I tend to give 3 stars in this situation, but I just can't do it here because of the feeling I got eating here. Think of your oldest living relative, someone who doesn't go out much and who never travels far. This is the kind of place they would like. People's tastes have changed over the decades, but this restaurant hasn't changed with them. They had a menu posted outside, and at least two inside, and all were different, so examine them all carefully before placing your order. I ended up with the fish sandwich because I didn't see you could get a half portion of the fish and chips because I assumed all menus would be the same. My wife ordered lasagna. After ordering we had to go up and request water separately, which was unusual. My sandwich came, it was fish on store-bought bread with lettuce, tomato and mayo/tartar sauce; it also came with fries. Mine was very bland and just not that good. It was also messier than you'd expect. My wife didn't enjoy her lasagna either; it looked like a hot mess; she picked away at it, scraped off a bunch of cheese (she said it had no meat or tomato sauce, something I thought all lasagna had), picked at her salad a bit then just gave up on her meal altogether. Simply, this place just isn't that good, let alone great. You'd be better off picking another restaurant at random, or as my wife said after leaving, at one of the fast food places in town. Maybe they were good once, but they sure have fallen.

We ate here on February 15 during a road trip, as we were passing by Greymouth. This place seemed…read morelike a no-brainer between the amount of awards and great reviews. I can only assume that this place has gone downhill since receiving the awards. We walked in, waited in a short line. The cashier refused to say any pleasantries (including "Hello") and would only look at us. It was uncomfortable to say the least. It was especially noticeable when I saw her conversing with many other patrons during our visit. I ordered the lasagna and salad ($17). Honestly, it tasted exactly like Stouffer's lasagna. There was way too much cheese and hardly any meat in the lasagna. There was so much cheese that I scraped off a large amount, leaving about 1/2 cup on my plate. It was greasy and gross. There was no real flavor in the food. Also strange is how they give you a table number and then proceed to go ask everyone in the dining room if this is the food that you ordered. There seems to be no correlation between the table number and the food that goes out. I also observed with several tables how the customer ordered a hot drink (such as a flat white) and never got it until way after the food was delivered and only after they inquired about the drink a second or third time. I saw a sign posted in the dining room reading "unattended children will be taken as slaves." While I have seen many signs regarding unattended children I have never seen one including slave language. I found the sign to be unnecessary (and alarming), as I was the youngest patron in the dining room by several decades. In all, I would stay away.

We went here for an after work meal and everyone seemed pretty pleased. I had the Fish of the Day special which was delicious. The ratatouille and the risotto on the side didn't exactly bowl me over but it was all tasty enough. The service was slow enough but I can't imagine they have a group as big as our's regularly. Far from the best Italian food I've had but it's decent enough and offers all of the favourites on the menu. I'll return to try some of those to see if it improves my rating. Worth a shot for a night out in Greymouth anyway.
