I have recently found out that I’m gluten and dairy intolerant and a special thank you to the staff that assisted in making my food delicious. I’ve been there several times now and will go again 🙂

Went for a casual early dinner with a coeliac guest. The staff were so so friendly. They really made a great niggt. There were so many GF options, even deep fried, we may have over indulged. Might be a different vibe later in the evening, but for us it was a great night with tasty food and great service.

Loved the charm of this modern cafe housed in an original character building. Good coffee, tempting sweets, and tasty food with plenty of healthy choices available including gluten free and vegan options. We really enjoyed the relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our booth seating, overlooking parkland, was cosy and warm on the winter day we visited.

My fave place to get Thai! Dine in or takeaway. Able to make lots of dishes gluten free. The pad Thai is the best I’ve had! Plus the pineapple juice is so yum. Staff always friendly and welcoming.

I would like to thank the owners of Authentic Flavours for being very kind and professionally food health safety conscious. Authentic Flavours can also cater according to dietary requirements. They made sure the celiac safe food dish masala dosai is all separately secured and stayed warm. We trust Authentic Flavours when it comes to celiac safe. We absolutely enjoyed the masala dosai and the gluten free okra curry was delicious. Your dishes are all always tasty and we will definitely dine in one day. I will also bring a group of ladies to dine at your place as the food is always amazing. Thank you again for filling us up with mouth-watering food and your lovely warm hospitality.

My family had a really nice brunch here! The menu is pretty inclusive with lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. I forgot to take a photo of my meal for the review but I got the vegan spiced mushroom dish and it was so nice! I also had fries with vegan aioli and a flat white with oat milk - also really good! The service was a little chaotic being very busy and a relatively new cafe, so even the staff are still learning what the menu items are - but everyone was super friendly.

Great atmosphere but that's where it ends. They put Gluten Free on most of the menu but only had one option that was actually Coeliac friendly. Do not recommend for people with actual dietary requirements.

Yummy food. They have gluten-free options

This small eatery is a great place for a quick lunch. Our kids really enjoy it, and the owners are very kind. Food is tasty and fresh. They accommodated vegetarian /gluten free with their fried rice dishes.

Best pho I’ve had in so long ! This place is a great place for a casual date Highly recommend the pho beef and slow cooked special and the salted iced coffee!!! You can get this as a combo for $30 ☺️ Love that this place is available in Whangarei for gluten free / celiac people ! The spring rolls are yummy too.

Friendly staff, delicious scones & muffins, good coffee, light & airy. They do a good range of cabinet good including gluten-free, as well as meals off the menu. All food looks very tasty. Usual prices. Plenty of parking, very clean. The only possible drawback is the lack of character as it is in a traditional hotel, and there is nothing that can be done about that. Definitely recommend for relaxed visit inside or outside on the terrace.

Amazing food, even let me bring in my own gluten-free bun to use for the burger. Will definitely be coming back!

Have dinned at Lone star Whangarei a few times now and it has been good but very disappointed by our recent experience. It was quite quiet when we first arrived but did get a bit busier while there. Either way we didn't see much of our waitress. First complaint was a 1/4 strength coffee was made quite strong but this was remedied. Secondly my sister was told her lasso meal was unavailable and asked to choose something else which she did only to find out that it was actually my new porker meal that was unavailable. This was only after I had started to eat my meal and said this doesn't seem like what I ordered that my sister noticed that it was what she had ordered!! The lasso isn't something I would have ordered as I don't eat a lot of gluten. I would have been okay with the mistake if staff had been apologetic but no one was and blame was but elsewhere on the mistake. We were then going to be charged for the more expensive lasso meal that I didn't even want (except I ate because I was starving by time meals finally arrived). So we did end up only paying for the slightly lesser new porker meal but a bit disappointing having to eat a meal I never ordered or wanted and staff not even caring. I really doubt I will be back or anyone else from our party of 11.
