Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This is a popular restaurant in the Denarau Island serving local Fijian cuisine. The food was very tasty and well-prepared with decent presentation. Ordered the Kuita Vakalolo (octopus braised in coconut cream) and Kai Viti Curry (fish curry) and both were delicious. Good attentive service and terrific comfortable ambience We had a great Fijian dinner here. It's located at the very far end of the marina. Great views from the restaurant looking out towards the water. We were waiting for them to open on a Sunday but found out that they wouldn't open until 11am or noon. Time kept changing according to who you ask. So we decided to come back for dinner instead. They post their daily specials on the chalkboard. It was Surf and Turf that night so that's what I ordered. Everything was a bit overcooked and on the dry side but I like the little accompaniments. The Ika Vakalolo (special walu fish in coconut creamer) and Kai Viti curry dishes were excellent. The Kai Viti dish was a good size portion and that was the favorite. We did order an old fashion and that was a big disappointment. Did not taste like what we're used to and tasted like a fruity smoky cocktail instead. Like all the restaurants there, service was with a warm smile. Everyone is so friendly and nice. The Kokoda was delicious! We also tried the cassava and Dalo chips, which were tasty and cooked to perfection. Loved the food, the service and the ambiance.
