I ordered a chicken burrito and it was like nothing I have ever seen in any Mexican Restaurant anywhere I have been and I lived in Arizona for years and have been to many. A small strip of cooked mystery meat said to be chicken was dwarfed by a huge bundle of white rice wrapped in what seemed to be an Indian style Roti, not a corn tortilla. Yes, it was filling and the addition of generous amounts of the supplied Vietnamese hot sauce made it edible, but all in all it was pretty bad. The place is located ok though a bit off the beaten path and has a pleasant indoor and outdoor seating arrangement. At the time I wondered why there were no other customers at lunch time. I think I now know why. For sure it is not fair to judge a restaurant on one botched dish but that was enough for me. My friend, who is usually a hearty eater, forced himself to complete eating his "burrito" and though he is local and not all that familiar with Mexican food, he thought it was pretty bad too. There are too many good restaurants in Nuku'alofa to bother coming back to this one.

it is behind salote road away from the sea and one block down from the australian high comission. Serves curries, sandwiches, salads, ...

Excellent choice. Despite being on a main road, there was no traffic noise noticed. We were made to feel like friends rather than paying guests very quickly by Olini and her Dad Saia. To have the use of the kitchen and laundry really helped. We will return there without hesitation on future visits to Tonga. Saia and Olini are top hosts.

If you are visiting Tonga during the school term on a Monday night then make sure you seek out the Pot Luck training restaurant at 'Ahopanilolo Technical Institute. (Behind the Catholic Cathedral near the ferry wharf) You won't be disappointed as it is the BEST VALUE dinner in the kingdom ... And you will Be supporting tourism and hospitality students who are learning their industry! You will eat delectable foods ((usually 3 courses) and be served by gorgeous attentive waiting staff before being entertained by the resident student musicians and dancers who bring the Tongan culture alive! It is BYO wine and beer. I ADORE THIS PLACE and the authentic vibe of young enthusiastic students giving it a go :-) do you should too!!!! If you want to do more than eat and watch the events unfold then maybe give a little donation to support the student scholarship at the end if the night... A little goes a long way in Tonga!!! :-)

Great spot for hanging out and enjoying the afternoon and evening in Nuku'alofa. Delicious food menu and cocktails on offer and very friendly staff. Far removed from the madness of the Central Business District bars and the dance clubs. Easily the best bar in Tonga.

This restaurant has it all - delicious food, beautiful atmosphere and view and owners who are two of the nicest, friendliest people you will ever meet! The minute we stepped foot off the elevator (3rd story roof top open air - stunning!) we were greeted with such warm enthusiasm by Bob, who owns the place along with his lovely wife Vicki, there was no way we weren't going to eat here! The two of them are extremely passionate about their restaurant and life in general - very wonderful people.To have such hospitality along with absolutely delicious food and an extensive menu is a combination that you don't always find. There is good reason that this restaurant has an excellent rating unsurpassed by any other establishment in Nuku'alofa. Knowing my birthday was in a few days, they presented me with the best chocolate molten lava cake a la mode l have ever had along with the attentive staff all singing me happy birthday - truly a special and memorable evening!Wish we were staying longer just so we could enjoy more meals at this lovely restaurant!Wow dog sitter, right back at you. You were a joy to have, and we loved our conversation. Please keep in touch. I have a feeling you will. You know where to find us, and should you ever wander in here again, you know we will treat like the special person you are. Take care, and we will talk again....Thank you, Bob
