I usually buy my roast pork from Sam's Roast in Pakuranga but thought that I'd try Charms as it is a 5 minute walk from my house. Being a low carb diet can be difficult to accommodate to but I find that roast places can usually cater to my diet. I always buy 300g of pork and will sometimes add 4x kumara to the mix if I want a treat, then nothing else. Sam's roast charges me around $29 for 300g of pork and 4x kumara. When I asked for the same at Charms, I was surprised when the server said that my order comes to a total of just under $19. I thought that there must be something wrong with the taste perhaps lol but man was I wrong. It's better than Sam's! The pork is moist and the crackling actually breaks and melts into your mouth. Cracking at Sam's is a hit and miss. Most of the time, I will bite into the crackling then have to pull it with my teeth away from my hand because it is sometimes chewy. Other times its is solid like a rock. Most of the time I have to throw it out because Im sure it will break my teeth one day lol. The kumara at Charms is also a lot better. It actually looks like it's been roasted. Sam's ones look like they've been boiled then lightly browned in an oven.
Anyway, apart from how amazing the price and food are, the service is pretty good too. I'm so glad I stopped today to give it a try. You've just stolen another customer...

Well first time here, and walked in and kind of didnt expect too much. but Was I wrong. The taste was fresh and the portion of the large pita pocket was just surprisingly big. The smoothies were delicious and they chucked in pork crackling as well. We will definitely come here again. The best experience is to come and and be surprised by the quality. The service was good looks like a family business. Thank you...
