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! 😊

Very happy with our experiences here. Had a couple of breakfasts and one dinner. Very friendly service and the food was excellent. The Roti was fantastic, and I had breakfast scrambled eggs on one and it was superb - told a friend and she joined us the second time and she agreed. I also had a dinner lamb wrap in a Roti and it was also excellent. To be honest, the Roti is so good you could probably wrap an old shoe in it and it would be good. My wife, who is celiac, simply had to mention it and the staff knew what to modify to make her a meal she'd enjoy. As simply as that sounds, it's not always the case. If I am ever in Pahia again, will be visiting.

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.

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.
