Fat Camel Cafe

This place is fantastic, everything we tried was amazing, and friendly quick service as well

Best espresso in town. Stunning coffee and the staff are lovely, I highly recommend The Fat Camel cafe

Edit: 4 years later I still recommend the Fat Camel, a true Whangarei landmark and still the best coffee around

Had a delicious pitta filled with falafel and all sorts of yummy stuff. A cut above any I’ve had before, and vegan too!

One of THE most amazing breakfasts - sooo tasty great VFM and just want we needed. Great coffee … menu is fabulous- service great

Really good food lovely staff. Young man playing a piano. So beautiful to listen to. This place is busy as opposed to the restaurant opposite which had no-one

Idan makes the best Israeli coffee in NZ. Food is delicious and the staff are amazing. Especially Sofie.

Authentic Israeli cuisine. I highly recommend the lamb shishlik, falafel plate and crumbed haloumi salad. Fabulous flavours and great presentation.
Most likely the best humus in the southern hemisphere as well!

Super tasty and generous portions. Definitely worth a stop if you're passing through Whangarei.

Not so impressed. Quite expensive food is average at best. Except for the falafel that is good. But hummus is bland.

Beautiful brunch with flavours that were partying on my tastebuds well after I left. Will be back for sure

Struggled to hear waitress through her mask, said she'd bring dessert menu and it didn't so after a long while paid and left. Food was great.

Really good food. I had the Jerusalem Schnitzel. Delicious mix of vegetables, rice, sauces, schnitzel etc. Nice atmosphere and great service. We returned the next day for lunch and it was just as good.

Excellent, excellent, excellent- everything is excellent. Pitas, lamb, chicken, salads, even the coffee. We try to stop in every time we pass through Whangarei.

Always great food, great coffee and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating, located in a picturesque mall in Whangarei.

Love the food here! Last experience a bit annoying due to making a phone order and when I went to pick it up they had no order in the system so had to wait longer.

Outstanding Israeli food. The hummus is creamy, the falafel is tasty, it's great all round. Worth a trip

Service was average bit on the poor side, ordered from the cabinet and cream was over whipped, ordered a iced mocha and it was bitter with again over whipped cream. Ordered fries and they never came. Got asked to leave a table by others guests which wasn’t being used

I moved to Whangarei a few months ago, and quickly became a fan of the place. Now I brought the rest of the family. We drove for many hours straight from Wellington. Everyone was hungry. Guess what I fed the family for dinner?
Best hummus in the country by the way.

Felt v sorry for waitresses struggling to walk between kitchen then tables to get to our room in the rain.
My schnitzel was very dry and overcooked.

Food came quickly even though it was busy. Food was lovely and meat was well flavoured and cooked.
