4.6 / 5.0(213 reviews)
Absolutely delicious! The seafood was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spice – full of flavor without being overwhelming. You can really taste the care that goes into every dish. The buttery sauce tied everything together beautifully. On top of that, the service was outstanding – Nina was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend! Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Krab Rotorua! I genuinely loved everything about this place. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel instantly comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food—wow. Every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I honestly couldn’t even stand up afterward because I was so full—but in the best possible way! It was that satisfying. Every bite was worth it, and you can truly tell they put love into what they serve. I’m even sharing a before and after photo just to show how much we enjoyed our meal. This place is a total gem, and I’ll absolutely be recommending it to everyone I know. Can’t wait to come back! We dined here as we love seafood and we came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Amazing food and taste, we ordered the $89 pack and we enjoyed so much and had fun eating! The classic Cajun sauce is perfect and I love the decoration in the restaurant, I overheard the guest from other table also praise how great taste is the food ! Strongly recommend to everyone and i suggested the Krab owner to open a branch in Auckland CBD waterfront or any suburb will definitely a HIT! Please please come to Auckland 🎉🤤😍

This was a great way to celebrate a birthday. The service was great, I just walked in and asked for a table, and it was ready within 15 - 20 minutes. The food is easy to order via your phone. The seafood boils were absolutely delicious. Our family of 4 ordered the Deluxe boil, and we were all completely satisfied by the end of it. They have non-seafood options for those who don't eat seafood, so everyone can come and enjoy something. We will definitely dine in again. Nina and Micyrah, you were great hosts/waitresses 🥰

Ordered a seafood boil for one and had the most delicious experience! All the seafood was perfectly cooked and you can tell it’s not from cheap frozen bags. The Cajun sauce was next level, so much flavour and goodness. Was really fun to have the gloves to really get into the dish and get all in the sauce. HIGHLY recommend if your in the area and want an exciting fresh seafood experience that will leave you happy and satisfied
