This was evident by the multiple birthday parties that were dining there. We felt like one of the locals! They have all kinds of seating for everyone's taste: inside, outside, the quieter front room, and the slightly busier bar area towards the back. There are more rooms in the back that I did not explore. But certainly no shortage of tables. We had the chermoula calamari salad ($24 NZ) and falafel salad ($25.5 NZ). Both were terrific. The salads weren't too big where you might feel wasteful to not eat it all. The calamari was nicely crisp and the falafels were flavorful. They have a wide ranging menu to cover everyone's tastes. Service was efficient and friendly. They even have a bin of toys for restless little tykes. All in all a terrific spot to dine.
