Sweet Laisa's Kitchen — Restaurant in Western

My most memorable food experience in Fiji was an early dinner at New Laisa’s Kitchen in Martintar, just down the road from my hotel. A newly established Fijian friend from my hotel had highly recommended visiting this restaurant to enjoy the best of Fijian cuisine because on my first day I was craving to try Kokoda.

Whilst I finally visited on my last night in Fiji and had since been treated to wonderful Kokoda at my hotel, I thoroughly enjoyed the Ika Miti with a jug of lemon juice. This dish was recommended as a must try and it was exquisite. Beautifully fresh coconut cream with lemons, chilli and vegetables with boiled fish and cassava served with a fish broth exceeded my expectations.

The service was amazing too, so friendly and inviting with complemented the extraordinary food. This is a must visit restaurant if you want to try exceptional Fijian cuisine and hospitality! Highly recommended with...

Always one to seek out new cultural and traditional cuisine, we are fortunately staying close to Sweet Laisa’s Kitchen and knew by looking at the reviews we wanted to come and try it for ourselves.

The portion sizes are more than enough to feed two people, very good quality and just delicious! Very impressed. Very happy to have my first experience of Fijian food here at Sweet Laisa’s Kitchen.

Highly recommend if you are in the area and want to support a local, traditional Fijian restaurant.

Only suggestion to improve atmosphere might be to add a little...

The food quality was fabulous and highly recommend if you're looking for Fijian cuisine in Nadi. We had the fish in coconut sauce (ika vakalolo) and fish ceviche (kokoda). The ika vakalolo came as 2 whole fish, but the downside are small bones. Didn't deter us because we love whole fish, but check before serving to kids. Dishes come with a generous serve of casava, chilli and lemon. Recommend fried casava - paired perfectly with our meal. Even our fussy...
