Elicious Eatery — Restaurant in Napier

What an amazing little place. As soon as you walk in you are hit with the calmness of it all. We had dinner there yesterday and everything was amazing. We started with the butterfly blossom cocktail which was sweet and so passionfruity. Just a great start. We ordered Hung lay ( lamb shoulder) and the pork spare ribs. Both were super delicious. The sweet pork with their spicy sauce was amazing combination. Absolutely loved it. It is very spicy so keep that in mind. Lamb shoulder was a lovely curry mild with just a slight kick. We also got the pork belly and chicken bao buns. They were both delicious in flavour. I would love it if they sliced up the pork belly piece into more biteable size. It was a little hard to eat, but the flavour was amazing. The chicken had the perfect combo of sauce and crunchy texture. So loved that. But the star of the show was definitely the dessert the sunset which is a sago mago sorbet. It was like tutti Frutti flavour, the warmth of the sago plus the coldness of the sorbet. I loved it so much that I ordered another one for later. What an amazing experience. The restaurant is a little expensive but when the service and food are this good you don't mind paying for it. Can't wait to come back when we r back...

Shoutout to Becky, who looked after us after a movie on a quiet afternoon Saturday. We got a variety of things, from salads, to burgers, and cabinet food. There were no complaints. Becky served us with elegant professionalism, while still remaining busy in the background, presumably preparing for the night service.

Just a couple things; there was no music. Which no one even mentioned and I didnt even notice till afterwards. So it wasnt an issue, but perhaps the experience could have benefitted from just a tad more ambience;

And the bathroom door (wheelchair friendly) didnt appear to close, nor lock easily. I forgot to bring this up to staff, though its no doubt a known issue.

Overall a pleasant experience and one worth revisiting. Thanks for...

Had a very pleasant coffee experience here in the past. This time came with Dad for afternoon tea. I am neither gluten averse nor vegan, but their Carrot Cake offering for those that are was most excellent. Lots of that nutty carrot cake texture, and a well balanced flavour. Perhaps if the otherwise excellent icing was slightly less sweet? The Booster smoothie was top tier, and something I'd happily order again. The great taste while still containing Spinach meant I felt healthier with every delicious sip. My Father gave the veggie quiche an impressive 8/10, which is extreme praise from a man who can complain about anything. When pushed to elaborate, he stated "it was very nice". High praise indeed....
