Ali Baba's Tunisian Takeaways

Welcome to Ali Baba's Tunisian Cuisine. Tunisian cuisine is a blend of Mediterranean and desert dweller's culinary traditions. Our food can be quite spicy, however we try to cater to customers tastes. As well as meat meals we also have falafel (vegetarian

I went there after seeing all the fantastic reviews. However, I found it to be pretty average. The salad and sauces were good, but the meat tasted like the sausage meat(fluffy with a taste of fillers, etc.). I ordered the kebab with lamb filling. I like kebabs because I believe them to be relatively healthier compared to the other eat outs. However, I never came across meat( lamb/chicken) in a kebab which was of a sausage quality, which was disappointing. I gave my experience three stars because of the customer service, hygiene and the fresh salad that I liked!

We took TripAdvisor’s recommendation and went here for dinner on one night of our stay in Rotorua. It did not disappoint! The menu was varied with lots of options, the food came out quickly despite the little restaurant being almost full, and it was tasty. Service was brilliant.

Pizzeria Imperfetto

Imperfetto is a small authentic Italian pizzeria. Pizza is made in the traditional italian way, baked in a wood fire oven served with a big side of love.

We had 2 pizzas - both had tasty well cooked bases, toppings were excellent - the Italian sausage was delicious, good quality salami, tasty olives and a tomato sauce with real flavour...and it wasn't over cheesed so it was pizza as it should be. Nice people too.

Wholly Smoked

Reviewed By big_ian

This was our fourth or fifth visit, and the service and quality of the food remains outstanding.The first thing you should do is check the daily specials. I had the slow cooked brisket and my wife had the lamb chops. The quality of the meat is always amazing, and they definitely do not skimp on the portion sizes. The vegetables and side salads are alway tasty too.Beverage wise they offer a good selection of beers and wines, again at competitive prices. We had two mains and drinks for under $80.The restaurant isn't the biggest, but it is always full, and for good reason.
