We went here for my partner’s birthday dinner. I made the reservation online and asked if we could get the best seat of the house as we are celebrating his birthday. When we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted by the lovely girl FOH. Then the most amazing server Chase, served us with some beautiful sparkling wine and he explained the menu items. We ordered fried chicken, lamb roast and salads. We also ordered some cocktails like Aperol, whisky sour and they were well made. Fried chicken starter was crispy and loved the lime mayo and gochunjang sauce. Lamb roast was pulled apart soft and could taste layers of seasoning which was top notch. Chef deserves a raise.nWe would like to thank our server person Chase for his exceptional service, bartender for making us beautiful cocktails and the kitchen staff for amazing food.nWill definitely visit again soon. Thanks team
Kika in Wanaka presents a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, marked by its warm, modern interior and the palpable energy of a well-loved local eatery. The staff’s genuine and attentive service immediately sets a positive tone for the dining experience.nnThe menu is a compelling exploration of robust, flavour-forward dishes. The meal commenced with two contrasting starters: fresh, briny oysters that cleansed the palate, and a Beef Tartare that can only be described as a masterclass in balance and texture. The tartare was exceptionally finely chopped and seasoned, with a rich, unctuous quality that was cut through by sharp, acidic notes. It stands out as one of the finest iterations of the dish I've encountered and is an absolute must-order.nnThe main courses continued this high standard. The fried chicken was notably succulent with a shatteringly crisp, well-seasoned crust, while the spinach and ricotta Gnudi offered a study in delicate contrast—the pillowy-soft dumplings melting away against a savoury sauce.nnA well-curated dessert and digestif list provided a strong finish. The limoncello was a bright, zesty palate-cleanser, a fitting end to the rich meal. Kika’s beverage program is another significant strength, boasting an extensive and thoughtfully assembled wine list alongside a notably large and diverse draft beer selection, sure to satisfy any preference.nnVerdict: Kika successfully delivers a complete package of superb food, a dynamic atmosphere, and excellent service. It is a standout destination in Wanaka that confidently earns a strong recommendation.
Innovative delicious food, and good service. We had the Tuna tataki, cloudy Bay clams with spring onion rolls, NZ wagyu short rib and crispy potatoes with balsamic Mayo. Atmosphere is fine except that it was a bit noisy. Overall, it was good experience.
I had dinner at Kika Wakana tonight, with a booking at 8:15 PM, and have just left the restaurant. Our group of six chose the “Just Feed Me” menu $95 per person, which meant we had no prior knowledge of the dishes we would be served, as everything was left entirely to the chef’s selection and creativity.nnWe were genuinely looking forward to a delightful dining experience, but unfortunately, we were left completely disappointed. The sequence of dishes lacked coherence in terms of flavor, and there seemed to be no thoughtful flow or connection between them.nnMost notably, the lamb dish, which was intended to be the highlight of the meal, was also the worst. Although it was supposed to be slow-cooked, it was then over-roasted, resulting in meat that was both dry and tough. The accompanying roasted potatoes were also overcooked, making them dry and hard—almost inedible.nnIt felt as though, because we were one of the last bookings of the evening and had chosen the “Just Feed Me” menu, the kitchen simply served us whatever was left.nnPlease respect the palate of your guests. We chose the “Just Feed Me” option because we trusted the chef’s taste and creativity—not because we wanted to be randomly stuffed with whatever was available.nnI strongly recommend others think carefully before choosing the “Just Feed Me” menu.nnI am giving this feedback 1 star, as there’s no option for half a star.
Had a delicious feed me dinner here; which I highly recommend. We did the wine and beer pairing and it was delicious and paired very very well on all the flavour notes. For what you receive the price is reasonable and trust me the food will blow you away.nnEloise was our waiter and she was lovely.
