Ptaka Kai

Came here for a lunch with 3 others. Buffet lunch was quite nice, medium sized selection of food (although less than other buffet places I have been to). We enjoyed the buttermilk fried chicken, the pork ribs, lamb and the sweet chilli pineapple prawn dish. Food is also topped up regularly so dishes are rarely empty. We were also able to try some hngi cooked meats. However, no dishes really stood out as super delicious or outstanding/one-of-a-kind. Waiters and service is also very good. You will have more than enough to eat. Overall, quite comfortable experience, come if you can afford and want to try the hngi cooked meats special to New Zealand.

Wow! This cafe is absolutely gorgeous- our barista and server Destiny was full of smiles and brewed an amazing mochacinno. The mochacinno had the perfect foam and sweetness of the cocoa, coffee was well rounded. We ordered the Smoked Salmon Bagel and the Chicken Panini - definitely recommend getting it toasted, the melted cheese was the perfect combination was the roasted chicken Loved the cultural sculptures around the Cafe. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be back again
