Urban Eatery — Restaurant in Wellington

Such a cute cafe nestled in Tawa. I was impressed with how reasonable the prices of everything was, and the food presentation was incredible. The muesli was only $12.50 and absolutely delicious. The portion size was very generous and it was topped with lots of fresh fruit. I really hope they make the avocado toast a permanent menu item as all my flavours were beautiful together. The bread also wasn't super hard and didn't require a chainsaw to cut unlike the toast at most other cafes. Again, the portion size was very generous. My only recommendation would be to have slightly more beetroot hummus. Both menu items didn't leave us feeling groggy or ill either, which was a bonus. The cabinet food looks incredible, so will definitely be back sometime very soon.

Staff were friendly and attentive. It was quite busy at 1pm and the line did stretch out the door, however the staff were very quick to serve everyone. In spite of it being a somewhat small cafe, it shouldn't take long to find a table as many people opt for take away.

Overall, highly recommend Urban Eatery if you are hanging around the...

Another one of the very few, great cafes in Porirua/Tawa. This is my go-to place for the super yummy treats they have a wide selection of. Staff - super friendly and welcoming - so professional 👏🏾 well done. Food - I love everything here! I always try something different when I'm here to ensure I get a good taste of what's on the menu. Super happy to say - I everything on the menu is a winner 🏆 I have an exceptionally sweet tooth and this place is my fix - from yummy waffles, to their donuts that are mamouth sized u have to cut it in half to get it in ur mouth lol to the slices, sandwiches - absolutely everything is a winner. I highly recommend this place - it's actually affordable compared to other cafes/restaurants nearby that I've tried. I have a family of 4 and our bill is always under $100 and we order everything we want to indulge in. It's so worth it. Well done team, keep up the excellent work...

I really wanna love Urban Eatery, I really do! Their cabinet food is all outstanding and of the highest quality. The coffee is good, probably the best in Tawa.

But!

I decided to branch out to the board menu today, in particular the chicken burger. Unfortunately this was a huge mistake.

Honestly, this burger for 19.50 is a bit of a disaster. Huge, dry, pan fried chicken breast that definitely should have been made dinner and brined to retain moisture. Gargantuan slices of tomato that by their very nature make it difficult to eat the burger. Lettuce was a bit excessive in quantity alongside the mayo/ranch.

Honestly it seemed like a quick and easy home style burger which is shame since I have come to love every single thing about their cabinet food.

However, the fries were very tasty, well cooked and seasoned with a great balance of crunch and fluffy potato. Awesome dipping sauce and...
