Pihanga Cafe T - Whakapapa

I've only dining here for once, but it's beyond to my expectations. Great food size quality, warm atmosphere, and the great services. It give a great dining experience in this cold weather.

Went here for lunch with my mates back in January 2022, I had the Indonesian nasi goreng. As an Indonesian, I think it tasted pretty authentic, I have to say. The sambal was especially tasty and spicy, just the way I like it. The prawns and chicken were delicious too, although I think the chicken was supposed to be skewered? The portion size was okay, although $32 for a nasi goreng is a bit pricey. My mates ordered chips and they were good too and the portion was very generous. Will come back again!

Great spot. Fast friendly service. Terrible day outside but lovely and welcoming in here. Had some great chai and fluffies for the kids. Great deal for a bowl of chips well prices and a good serving size. Kids devoured it right quick. Will be sure to recommend it and stop by anytime we are in the area which will be this winter.

The food was served fast , beautiful customer service all around.and the food was so delicious , definitely going back with the whanau...

Don't blindly follow the star rating! Booked in here for a group of 12 and couldn't fault it. Excellent food, excellent service. Of the 2 restaurants in the Chateau, this is the more casual option but it lives up to expectations; it isn't fine dining but it was good food. Serving staff were great too and the food came quickly. Some of the reviews are about service times during busy periods and although the restaurant wasn't heaving, it wasn't empty either and food came in a decent time.
