Hakuna Matata Cafe — Restaurant in Marlborough

Worst food I have eaten in a long time!!! Wanted to initially seat 3 people at a 2 person table even though they were empty bar 1 table. Should have known by the amount of un cleared food on tables. The ceasar salad was served as lettuce chopped smoked pressed chicken n croutons could have had the rest of the ceasor salad items of you asked for them special request. The burger was slimy from being microwaved given a away by the spinach that was wilted n revolting also could not put all the ingredients on that as they ran out the day before but no one could make the short walk to new world n the owner knew they were out of items the day before but couldn't be bothered ensuring the prep for the next day to quote him. Although microwaved the burger was cold and chips were limp.The goulash was a insult to heritage being a colourless flavourless pile of gloop in a bowl. His excuse was people would complain if he used garlic and tomato's to create the dish he was claiming to sell. He stated he would not eat it and it was not how he would make it , if he was to make it at home.None of the items were completed the chicken and dosen peices of lettuce was taken of the bill. Sad too see a business with such poor reguard for it's customers and product. I only went as others wanted to give the place ago but no one will be back

In addition to this previous review in which the owner then goes on to attack myself in response to the review. When I infact was not the one who even spoke up about the revolting food is another display of the business culture at it's finest. She was never spoken to infact, my mother was the one who spoke up after the point of paying and was respectful when speaking to the male after a meal had already been returned as it definately was not a ceaser salad chicken and limp lettuce is not a ceaser salad should never have been sent to the table in the first place. I wasn't in a group I was with my 2 older parents. So before you attack people you should have your facts straight. As you weren't part of any interaction that took place you should keep your opinion to your self and not try to make people who tried to support your business the ones at fault for the rubbish you serve. I simply shared the experience we had. And sorry 2 seat table if that makes you happier. You need to do...

In conclusion, this cafe hath earned five stars with its delightful fare, enchanting ambience, and courteous service. It shall hold a permanent place in my heart, and I shall return with joy to partake in its...

The staff is nice but the food is disappointing. The ciabatta didn’t get proper rest and proved which there was no big holes in it. I only got this issue when I screwed it in the cooking class here. Very sad to see an established business providing this kind of ciabatta. The potatoes was greasy and soft which I am not sure what style it belongs to as I never had any before(see 2nd photo). Poached eggs were pretty much average. Ordered salmon and avo brioche but came with only a few small pieces of avo scattered around which I don’t think this looks fair. The milk in the coffee was not made properly presenting small holes instead of smooth look, pretty much average level. To respect food itself we had almost of it. My day started with a...
