Order Food in moera

Big thank you to Ahmad, his team @ Cafe Lokum for welcoming us, providing best of the best service ever got, food so yummy and filling, totally joyful guy, would prefer people for visit, next trip down for canoeing will be coming for another feed. 🥰🥰

Dropped in for the first time on Mother’s Day at lunchtime and they were pretty busy. Fortunately, we managed to get a table. There were probably only 3 to 4 staff so service was a little slow but not overly bad. They do have the usual Kiwi style breakfast and also the traditional style Vietnamese food and drinks. The Vietnamese coffee was great however it would be nice to serve with an extra side of hot water as the condensed milk might seem overly sweet for some. Food was tasty and generous portions which we ended up taking some home. There are 2 toilets available and I have to say that they are pretty clean. The only letdown were the flies. We are nearing winter and there were easily around 10 flies buzzing around, so I would expect summer to be much worse. This would be something that’s easily taken care of so would definitely be back for more meals.

IG: 2Fish1Chip Order: Fish, 1/2 Scoop of chips, Corn fritter and a sausage. Cost: $21 The fish was of a good size and coated nicely with a crunchy batter for most of it. Some spots the batter was soft. The flesh was a little rubbery to the bite, so didn’t give off those ‘fresh feels’. The chips were okay and better off in a chip butty, soft and pillowy right through. Corn fritter was ‘gluggy’ due to a batter mix and not the mash potato that’s the way forward! Disappointing really. The sausage was well, exactly as it looked lol. In terms of value, I gotta say it’s not there. Yes for portion size, but a hard No on quality and taste.

Some nice food but the ambiance and surroundings are not very pleasant. The Peking duck was delicious, as were the stir fried choy sum with garlic sauce. The crispy lamb was too salty and dry, with more batter than actual meat. The crispy squid was nice, but the dish was artificially made to look bigger with the addition of unnecessary garnish (such as onions). The restaurant location itself is a bit sad, set in a room reminiscent of an industrial storeroom.

The place is spacious, they offer variety from 7-13 dollars per serving. Unfortunately, we waited almost an hour before our food arrived so I suggest you go their for dinner and not lunch break from work. There are few parking spaces around. The woman serving was so friendly, and the food was yummy. I'll try another one next time.
