4 of us went on Saturday night, we're given a table with a view, the waitress was friendly and upbeat, the owner even checked that we were happy with everything.
We had a lovely meal and great drinks all at a reasonable price, we'll definitely be back

I keep coming back. Love the food and the selection is wide to suit all tastes. The pizzas are so good I taxi them to Whangamata when I visit a friend who love Kufe food as well. Booked in again for Halloween. Can't wait.
