We came on Wednesday and were served by Luka. He did a fantastic job, was attentive and friendly! I am gluten free and was impressed with the variety of options, I went for the GF fish and chips which was delicious and my mom the pesto gnocci. Overall was a lovely meal and would definitely return! 😊

There were not specific information regarding gluten free/ dairy free options, any fried food is not on offer, chips/fries, calamari are not gluten free, they cook everything in the same fryer. Fish and chips were completely off the menu. I ordered the beef burger gluten-free, dairy free. It was a sandwich ,not a burger this was never specified at time of ordering. I told them I can't have the cheese and yet my order came out with it, so I had to wait for them to rectify this. Cocktails were amazing but never come here with allergies. I did not choose these allergies, and yet I felt so embarrassed. I only had to pay $20 an $8 discount because I was unhappy and complained. Not happy at all

Very good experience at Charlotte’s kitchen. Staff were friendly, atmosphere was great (but very busy) and the food came out fast and was delicious. Highly recommend getting at least one pizza! The best thing is that they take food allergies seriously. The menu is labeled (eg gluten free, dairy free, vegan etc) so you know what’s what. And the staff always ask the kitchen if you have any further questions. Definitely recommend this place if anyone in the family has dietary restrictions.

Had the best continental breakfast I have ever had! The waitress was super lovely and very accommodating to my gluten free requests. And the basket of toys occupied my children long enough for me to enjoy my food. Highly recommend!

Ordered take out pizza on our last night in Paihia. Meat lovers and the Hawaiian. Wasn’t expecting much but was super impressed! Lovely bases, both gluten free and traditional with generous high quality toppings. On the pricier side but haven’t had many better pizzas and came out quickly. Highly recommended.

Amazing spot! When I was served and asked for a gluten free cone they asked if I was a coeliac and took extra precautions to ensure it was safe. This included cleaning all their utensils and scrapping off the top layer of ice cream to ensure there was no cross contamination.
