This is by far THE BEST Kauai branch I've encountered, so far (and I've been to several across the country). The best part about this branch are the lovely people - always friendly, kind, polite, respectful, thoughtful, hard working and giving their best.

Proceeds to pack my order and just shoves it into my hand. The avo falafel wrap I ordered was well well below average of what I'm used to as I usually order from Brooklyn or Hatfield, where the standard of the food is unmatched, compared to any store I've purchased from anywhere in the country. Will NOT recommend Castle Gate Kauai to anyone and will NEVER visit again. Will rather drive further and go to...
