How we read reviews →Pacific Island comfort food and classic Aussie takeaway in St Albans. come hungry
Warm and nostalgic. like a family potluck. Small venue with limited outdoor seating (three tables, six chairs). Pacific décor and friendly island hospitality from an owner-run team.
Owner-operated catering available for events. Daily rotating dishes with Tongan and Samoan staples made fresh each day. House-made otai fruit drink (mango, coconut, passion fruit, pineapple).
Authentic Tongan and Samoan dishes including lu sipi (coconut taro leaf lamb), taro, oka (marinated raw fish), fa'ausi, otai, pangikeke and vaisalo. Owner team connects to Pacific Island traditions, with regulars comparing it favourably to shops in Auckland.
Trays are priced by piece or weight with no visible menu pricing. totals of $50-$85 surprised some first-time visitors. Dedicated regulars consider the fried chicken and otai drink strong value for the quality and authenticity on offer.
