Roses Takeaways — Restaurant in Kaikohe-Hokianga Community

Very disappointed with each visit here. Take-your-money-service. Neat little parcel handed over 20 minutes after order placed.

This time still waited 20 minutes watching 'silly behaviours' and ... not much restaurant manners. Ad then a very meagre few chips - pale and mostly RAW potatoes (hard).

Last time - 10 minute wait; Ordered $5 fish, battered sausages and chips deal. The fish content/volume was equal to a Bic lighter and was double battered to give appearance of being bigger. The sausage meat in the 'battered sausages' volume about two Bic lighters. Chips might fill 3/4 coke can.

Going back?......

We won't be back. Everything was covered in this thick batter and it was horrible, I had to pick off all the batter just to eat the food. Chicken wings were tasteless, tiny and overcooked and smothered in a thick batter that was inedible. My spring roll and crab stick was the same- having to pick all the batter off to get the inside and first time I came across a battered spring roll- hopefully I never come across that again.

My daughter did enjoy her steamed pork buns and my hubby enjoyed his prawns but I would recommend not buying any fried food unless you love buying and eating thick...

The fish was delicious and the batter was a delightful surprise- light and crispy and tasty. The fish and chips meal combo is a great deal for what you get. Also picked up a couple of pork buns, and they are spot on. The dough is pillowy and fresh, and the pork filling is some of the best I’ve ever had.

Everything was fresh and fast and the staff was very helpful.

I’m making a trip back through Kaikohe just to eat at...
