New owners are lovely and accommodating. They seem to understand about gluten free and keeping things separate as not to poison anyone. Affordable (as much as they can be in this climate) food is always nice, fat drained and hot.

As a celiac we found hell pizza in Auckland and I was able to eat sithout symptoms, it was great! Unfortunately having marked celiac in the dietary/allergies section, a pizza that was unclear as far as its ability to be made gluten free, was made and given to us on arival. To the hell pizza kitchen, please don't cook a pizza marked celiac if it can't be made safe. I don't mind waiting longer on arrival to make a pizza that is safe for me instead. Clearer markings on your website would be great.

Accommodating to gf, but plan your trip before 2 pm when the kitchen closes for more choice of gf options than what is in the cabinet. I had the tasty gf vegetarian lasagne which I really enjoyed. Great hot coffee as well.

We were driving out and about enjoying our time together ( it’s been 5 years since my last visit home to family) when we decided to stop here for lunch. I have celiacs and asked if I could be catered for and was told yes. The delightful efficient staff not only catered to me the whole table got A+ exceptional service and delicious beautiful meals. Highly recommend, will go back for sure.

We stopped here on Boxing Day because not only was it open (yay!) but it has a sign on the window advertising gluten free (double yay!). The menu says something along the lines of informing staff of dietary issues rather than listing GF options. My husband went to order and asked if the chicken burger could be done GF and was rudely told, “it’s a burger so no.” He then asked if the Thai beef salad could be done GF and was told “yes but the noodles will have gluten” so he asked if they could check. A long wait ensued and he was told no it’s not GF. So ordered the chicken salad. The salad was SWIMMING in what tasted like cheap supermarket salad dressing. Possibly the worst salad I’ve ever had. My son’s big breakfast had a hair in the poached egg. I wish we’d driven on. Great shop front, lovely garden area. Terrible food and service.

Fabulous café & staff! Opens at 8am. Our favorite stop when we are heading north as it's a bit tricky (but not impossible) when heading south because there's no pull off lane on SH1. Fabulous presentation of cabinet food and blackboard menu. Food is quick to arrive. Great selection if you are gluten free or dairy free. Comfy seating inside & out. Lovely countryside view if you eat outside. Plenty of parking. If the café is busy then be prepared to wait your turn if you need to use the bathroom.

Wow, just …..wow. We are from Wellington and thought we would pop up to Palmerston North to see our son on a course. We had numerous recommendations for this place let’s give it a go. From the awesome conversation we had with the reservation person to the wonderful welcome and staff. The night was such a success. Actually worth the 3 hr round trip from Wellington. Ohhhhh the food…. Well I love to say the pasta was loved, the gluten free burger was one of the best my wife has ever had and the meet tray my son and I shared was almost too big….almost, but if i did say all that then maybe next time I went there it would be too busy and we would miss out. If you like good atmosphere, customer service and amazing food, go to Little Savanna.

I’m not usually one to leave a bad review unless I’m actually thoroughly disappointed with service. My partner is thoroughly rattled at her most recent interaction, two gluten free half portions of two different meals were ordered and unfortunately they messed up the order and brought out two half portions of the same meal, making one meal portion. Despite the cashier knowing they had messed up, there was no offer of rectifying the mistake and additionally would not offer a refund of the extra charge for two seperate half portions even though we only received ONE full portion of ONE meal. I understand mistakes happen in the kitchen, but I also believe in offering to fix an issue when you’re made a mistake. Generally we quite like this establishment but this has left us both quite peeved and unlikely to return any time soon.

Amazing food and array of options to suit your diet. Good selection of drink options too. They have gluten free options, took my coeliac friend and they were able to accomodate.

Arez was extremely kind and friendly, very thoughtful of dietary restrictions (vegetarian, celiac), and conversational. He is starting up a sauce company, which seems like a great idea considering how incredible his homemade sauces are. Tofu was the best of my life, veggies couldn't have been more fresh, and a rainbow of colors and textures in my bowl. Highly recommend
