“Ive been here a handful of times over years, the service is always beyond exceptional and the food matches up to that too, amazing restaurant”

“The red thai beef curry was delicious. Perfectly cooked vegetables and the medium hot level of spice was spot on. Good, friendly staff.”

“Quaint small restaurant with a good atmosphere. Food was great. We really enjoyed our evening here and would definitely recommend this to other people. The restaurant was very busy the night we visited with a large family group, but the staff remained calm, friendly and upheld good service levels which we were impressed by. They also offer takeaway food which is good to know for my next visit to the Kapiti Coast.”

“Our two families are across from Australia for Mum & Dads’ 60th Wedding Anniversary in Kapiti Village! We decided to eat in and so ordered 9 takeaway dishes from Canton Inn Takeaways & Restaurant - boy what an awesome meal. Great service as we preordered in the afternoon and it was all there packed and waiting for us on time! Each dish was absolutely delicious - great customer service and big friendly smiles. I highly recommend Canton Inn for both Takeaways or Dinning in… Craig from Brisbane…”

“Been many times before but first time for the newly introduced buffet chicken menu. It's a great idea and it was very yummy. A number of side dishes are included in the all you can eat menu as well.”

“This is undoubtedly the best dominoes I have ventured into to date. Service is very friendly and professional - on the phone and in person. Pizza is always fresh, well presented and time wise, there are never delays. Store always looks clean and tidy when we pick up. Thank you for doing a great job and cooking our dinner!”

“Another fantastic Sushi Platter from Tornado Sushi, to help us celebrate our annual O'Hanami (Sakura Blossom viewing) dinner. Lee's dishes are still as delicious as when I first ate his Sushi 31 years ago. Thank you”

“EXCELLENT. I wish we had one where I live. The baked goods are very high quality.”

“We tried this place a few weeks ago whilst travelling down to the South Island. We spent the next three weeks of our trip looking for another place with as good food and friendliness and couldn’t find it, so we just had to come back on our way driving to Auckland. Everything is so fresh and such care is taken to keep the restaurant clean and inviting. Thank you Bimi sushi!!”

“This is by far the best sushi on the Kapiti Coast . Fresh, clean, well priced, and so so flavoursome. It was such a rare delight to find this sushi place with such a high standard of quality best of all it’s locally owned and operated.”

“Called for a last minute booking and they managed to fit us in. BEST PASTA and tiramisu I've ever had out before. Generous portions that weren't over filling or over priced. Amazing server Namita always wearing a smile and very hospitable, so welcoming. Will definitely be coming back”

“Food was fantastic, best meal I have had in NZ. Lamb was cooked to perfection, paired with roasted root vegetables that had a wonderful, natural glaze. Roasted potatoes lightly browned, creamy on the inside. The pork belly was also very nicely done, the mash hearty and flavorful. Cabbage provided a nice counter-point. Highly recommended.”

“Their food was really delicious and the price of food is cheap considering the amount of food. Came out quite soon and tasted like they used really fresh vegetables. It is located in a beautiful place, too. Could see the sunset in the restaurant.”

“Wow it was great better service than we got last week at Logan Brown. The guys are fab and the food was authentic and delicious.Excellent meal thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Authentic Italian food. Far better atmosphere than the competition. I had the antipasto platter which was plenty for four and really tasty. Salmon and spinach fettuccine was fab and our guests had a steak and the NY meatballs. Definitely worth a return trip.”

“Delicious meals with good service. Very friendly staff to make customers to enjoy their meal time.”

“Food, vibe and staff here are so great! I often go to do work on my laptop because prices are reasonable compared to the quality of food and coffee.”

“What a Gem! Seen reviews so had to try it. I had Beef Short Ribs & our friend had Pork Belly the wife had Calamari Salad. I look for quality produce - value for money - cleanliness and great service. The food came very quickly and we were not disapointed it was really nice. My beef fell off the bone and the flavours were so good. The pork belly looked great and got thumbs up from our friend. I will be back to give the pork belly a try. This place is worth the drive from Wellington. Give it a go. They cater for large groups and have a great outdoor area. 5 stars guys. Well done”

“Great food, loved the Tacos especially the prawn and pulled pork options. Great selection of Gins from NDC as well.”

“Best curly fries around. Easy to have a conversation and be heard, the coffee is constantly good and recently become almost too pretty to drink.”

“We had our wedding at The Waterfront in March 2025 and couldn't be happier with our choice. Zara was involved from the start, bringing a calm, professional approach that made the planning process easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and she used her experience to ensure everything went smoothly. She even took on extra tasks like printing and setup, allowing us to focus on other aspects. The staff were outstanding—proactive and attentive. Our guests raved about the food and overall atmosphere. We highly recommend The Waterfront for any event. They've set a new standard for hospitality on the coast, comparable to the best in Auckland or Melbourne. Keep it up & thank you for everything!!”

“Wow had the most amazing delicious meal in a beautiful warm environment. Our server a young Indian man was ever so helpful and attentive to our needs especially for my mum who has a sore back he brought out extra cushions for her comfort. My mum wanted to take me and my son to brunch and I'm so glad we visited this fine establishment in raumati will definitely visit again !we ordered 5 spice braised pork belly mash potatoes veges my son ordered smashed avocado egg beetroot hummus on ciabatta toast my mum has sirloin steak medium rare cooked to perfection, chips and salad”

“Always good pizza, fast service and delivery from these guys. Delivery Drivers always smiling, Anastasia was friendly thanks!”

“this place is great. Their $7 chicken on rice bowl (any chicken btw, pretty good) probably makes it the cheapest place to get good quality food in Kapiti. I have tried all of their chicken and I have to say the chili and the teriyaki chicken are the best. I don't have any complaints, 100% recommend.”

“Our go-to quick pizza spot in Param. This pizzahut does a good job and is always nailing our order. The pull apart cheesy Kit Kat is next level.”
