Kawau Kitchen

First time at Kawau Kitchen , after seeing reviews online we thought we would try it out. So glad we did , we booked online but didn't really need to as we just walked in and was told to be seated and a server will come over.nAtmosphere was great , a lot of people but still ample amount of seating inside and out. We sat in the foyer area and it was great as we had our son and sometimes we prefer it in a seperate area or not as many people as we don't want to disturb.nWe were served at a great time , ordered our dishes and didn't really wait that long at all. We got : fried chicken bennys , the Japan smashed avo , kids scramble eggs and babychino , Dubai pancakes and iced chocolates. All recommended by a Tongan Maori family. Standard prices with a little bit extra but the food we got was yum as.nThis will be our new spot here and of course mangere bridge. Thanks team !!

The best food and service around Auckland Airport. We have been a few times now and the food is consistently delicious. The staff are always friendly and responsive, very accommodating to dietary requirements too. We loved the freshness of the ingredients and how well the flavours were paired together. We will definitely be back again!
