Fat Camel Cafe

The service was friendly, fast, and professional thank you for the wonderful lamb pita and excellent coffee.

Oh man! The food was so delicious! So much flavour and I was very full after. Great portion size and awesome service! Their coffee is always great as well! Love the vibe!

Nice and Small restaurant. Reasonable price for good portion meal. We like the friendly and kind owner.will come back

I have only tried the Coffe so I can't vouch for anything else, but the coffee is really good. I had cappuccino and long black, both were nice. The cappuccino cups are of the right size and shape.

Amazing food, awesome selection for vegans and carnivores alike. Friendly courteous staff. Highly recommended

We had the chicken pita pocket and smoked salmon bagel. Chicken shawarma pita pocket was particularly delicious and flavourful, generous portion (though more hummus would have been wonderful). Friendly staff and good service, highly recommend to anyone coming to Whangarei!

I've dined at the fat Camel many times and always come away with a great experience.

This weekend Idan and the Team surpassed themselves!
I booked the "function room"for my beter half's" big birthday celebration.
Idan took care of everything. Following a brief meeting where we discussed food options and numbers i turned up on Saturday lunchtime with birthday girl.the guests were hiding round the back (Thank you Mark and Tereza for coordinating!) and then everything went like clockwork.
Staff turned up to take drinks orders, food was brought out on platters and distrubuted across the tabled (all nicely organised for our guests) and all we had to do was anjoy the food, the atmosphere and the drinks - and did I mention the food?
Wow! The party boxes I ordered were just awesome - and great value - check them out on the menu.
Tiina had the best time and I felt like the hero for organising it, but in reality it was the Fat Camel team that made it all happen.

Thanks Guys!

Wonderful oasis, delicious and made with love. Super surprised to find this here in Whangarei, What ever you need Idan will look after you, totally recommend

A great cafe in a quiet cobbled pedestrian area. The vegetarian omelette was the best I've had in a while and came with a salad and 4 different condiments (Mediterranean style).

A real surprise find. Had morning tea there, and enjoyed so much returned an hour later for lunch, beautifully cooked and delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. Loved the camel on the coffee. J & R from Tauranga

Fat Camel Café is a real gem located in a tiny pedestrian street. We had some quick lunch and didnt really expect much. We experienced great hospitality and had some delicious falafel rounded up by some fresh lemonade.
For the price paid: I'd say it's a pretty good deal! Would definitely go there again.

Awesome cafe, amazing food, super friendly staff. We stopped here on Boxing Dad, and this was a great find! The food was absolutely delicious, the best pita ever. And a great selection of cakes with excellent coffee.

Food was amazing, so delicious and also healthy! Service was great, will certainly be back!

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!
