   Papamos was an amazing dining experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—everything we ordered came out hot and tasted fantastic. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. What really stood out, though, was the service. Toni was absolutely wonderful—kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She checked in at all the right times, had great recommendations, and added a personal touch that made the whole experience even better. Thanks to the delicious food and Toni’s outstanding service, Papamos is definitely a place I’d be happy to return to and recommend to others.

   We had the pleasure of using the upstairs venue for our recent Christmas function. The team at Papa Mo's were awesome right from the start. Good communication and the service on the night was brilliant, they even added Christmas crackers to the tables! There was plenty of food, all cooked to perfection and the staff were amazing. Thanks so much for making our night special. From the team at Ebbett Tauranga

   I wanted a venue to have my daughters 21st. Most bars/restaurants say no to 21st, but Papa MOs didn’t. We started at 3pm and finished up about 8 on a Sunday. From start to finish Papa Mos was a great choice, friendly, on-to-it staff who listened to my requests, were attentive and very accomodating. Our whanau and friends loved Papa Mos as a venue with the beautiful views, food was yum, and on time. Thank you Papa Mos!

   “Amazing service, incredible food, and excellent staff! Jessica was exceptional and nothing was a problem. Every detail was perfect, and nothing was too much trouble for the her. She went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!” We asked if the fish tacos could be pan fried and not deep fried and battered and her answer was 'with pleasure' This is a first I have experienced where a restaurant can make changes. Although there was no service upstairs Jessica still said she would bring up our food and wine even though she was busy with other customers. Amazing. What a great day to remember.

   After being regulars at Papa Mo's for the many years we've lived in the area.. we'll never attend again. The food has been average for some time, but every time I've returned hoping I'll be wowed. We ordered the cauliflower, the fries and the chicken. As we got to the very last piece of chicken, my son found a hair and a clothing fibre in the coating of his chicken. I showed a waitress; she took the plate and didn't return. The restaurant manager returned and told me it looked like an eyebrow hair and we had eaten the entire plate so there's nothing he could do. No apology, no acknowledgement. Just straight into defending his stance that his people wear nets so it cant be from them (do they not have eyebrows? Or do they wear nets on their eyebrows?). I told him the place had turned to custard; he replied "the place is all good until you don't get what you want hey?" He was basically insinuating that I was scouting for a free meal, I never once asked for a discount or something free. An acknowledgement and an apology would've been satisfactory. Absolutely disgusting way to speak to any customer, never mind, the locals that prop the place up during the winter. The cauliflower was delicious, as were the fries, but the chicken was bland and tasteless. The 'Mini Mo's' area was dirty, run down and had cigarette butts all over the floor. This place is so run down, unloved and just overall beyond average for the high prices, people will just opt to stop coming when there's more options. Your staff all need serious training.

   The wait on a Sunday Afternoon was a bit excessive, It took 2 hours for the food to come out. It wouldn't have been so bad if they had communicated this prior but we were left hoping that every meal that left the kitchen was ours. The staff were lovely but I think they are stressed without enough assistance.

   We went for the Rib special . We booked a table and are glad we did because this place is very popular. So I would say if you want by I go ,rather book a table even if you assume it won’t be busy . But I can see why they are popular. They have different specials on different days and we intend on trying them all in the coming few weeks . The ribs we had came with chips and salad . The ribs HuGE. There was so much on the plate . I had to take some ribs home . Everything we ate was bloody yummy. We got the last ribs . And that was at about 6 pm. Even though the special is all day ribs I would advise if you want to try them book a table and try and go no later than 5:30pmish cos their ribs are hella good and popular and the offer does say something about ribs are limited numbers. I had the cocktail of the week. I think it was called a Robot. Mother of dragons it was good . I hope I can ask for it next time I go and it isn’t just something that was for the week we went . Also the decor new and modern and the place is very clean. The views are stunning . Im not a smoker but they had a clean section for the smokers .and it wasn’t tucked away . They still had the view. When we got there the front desk told us the place was booked up.I could only see 2 waitresses . The person at the front desk had to help with waiting and clearing tables. But the three of them handled everything so professionally , kept on smiling and didn’t break a sweat. Very good service .very impressed with the staff on the day we went. Wish I had taken names and taken pictures of the food. Just before we left we say a couple of more waitresses start working . We are definitely going back.
