delicious pumpkin curry

I arrived morning during storm, they had no electricity but they offered my coffee and to stay at fireplace. Nice people and good vegan option. I had pumpkin curry chickpea with rice and nann break which was yummy. I met another vegan customer that had mushroom burger.

Pros: place warm and cozy, quality food, good owners

Good vegan curry

It's great that we stumbled upon a place to eat vegan in Orepuki while camping! It was a bit expensive, but seriously delicious (and the vegan food was cheaper than the carnivorous options, which is so nice!). Thank you very much.

Good vegan option

We rang up in advance to check they had vegan options and spoke to the chef who was very accommodating and friendly. They had a soup and a chickpea curry which were both on special which were vegan. Also had oat milk.

Cons: No vegan options on actual menu - very meat heavy

Great vegan friendly option in rural area!

We arrived on a Friday night and they already had a vegan spinach chickpea curry on the specials menu. Having already eaten chickpeas for lunch, I asked if they could possibly make me something else vegan. The waitress immediately offered to make roasted mushrooms and veggies, but I asked for a salad instead.

They really delivered; it was one of the most beautiful and unique salads I've had. It was topped with fresh edible flowers and had pickled onions, olives, and fresh lettuce and a variety of herbs from their very own garden! It paired very well with the local sauvignon blanc recommended by the waitress.

They also had a vegan offering on their dessert menu: a chocolate coconut date ball, although I didn't try it. Overall they were incredibly accommodating and given the rural area the excellent vegan meal was a lovely surprise! I hope this review helps other vegans who visit this beautiful area! :)

Pros: Comfortable dining area and beautiful view, Delicious food, Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: They do serve meat, No vegan items on their regular menu, Wish they had a better vegan dessert option
