Faridas

Very quiet little place with excellent fresh food and good customer service over all. The big windows in the dining area allow you to look out onto Orewa beach which is a nice touch. We ordered a pizza and a chicken & mushroom fettuccini which were both fresh and packed with flavour. Pricing is definitely fair especially compared to similar establishments with the same pricing but subpar quality.

Enjoyed a Birthday Lunch today 30/11/24 with a dear friend and we both had the Tarragon Chicken which was absolutely delicious . Service excellent and great ambience!! Highly recommend and will certainly return to try some different dishes as there's much to choose from.

Looking for an authentic French tart. This is the place for you then! During the day, it operates as a cafe selling authentic French pastries made on premises, coffees, and a range of breakfast meal options. Big breakfast is just over $17 and would satisfy the biggest appetite. The cafe and also an ice cream parlor are open during the day, and the restaurant is open at night. We had morning tea in the cafe, plum tart, ham & cheese croissants, which were delicious and coffees in the morning. Iced coffees weren't impressive, although full of coffee flavor, they were too watery for our palate. We prefer thick and creamy consistency. At night, our group prebooked and went back for a meal in the restaurant. The food was absolutely superb! There is a wide range of starters, entrees , mains, and desserts to choose from. Including a separate pizza menu. Fully licensed, there is also a wide range of wines, available by glass or bottle and spirits, too. As I mentioned, the food was superb, 9 out of 10. Service was also good. Very friendly staff! Prices are average. The only suggestion I have is to play some soft music and dim lights in the restaurant to give some ambience. Of the 20 tables available, only 2 were not reserved, so I highly recommend you book beforehand. The cafe & restaurant is located on the main road into Orewa and across the street is the beach. We will be coming back for sure.

Visited this local tonight for the first time and I have to say, we were very impressed. The food was delicious and portion sizes were great. Cannot fault Faridas at all. Was particularly impressed that they catered for vegans and were more than willing to adjust dishes to meet my vegan daughters requirements. They even had dairy free cheese. We will be back for sure.

Greeted by the loveliest staff member. She had great customer service. Food was DIVINE We got the salmon and fettuccine 10000% recommend.
