Kainga Eatery

Food is very good, eggs where slightly under done but was fix quickly.
Staff are friendly and inviting, coffee on the day was good

The atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. The staff were very friendly and polite and the server was very attentive.

We were lucky enough to get a table for valentines an lucky is an understatement, service was awesome, second only to the amazing starters, so much flavor I had my eyes closed to focus on the flavor while I chewed! That nearly never happens! An the the main, we'll where do I start, most delicious potatoes an broccoli done so simply but so well, extremely well. An the salmon, it's just never been better! From all the places I've eaten salmon before, an I've eaten alot, this was top notch, I think I know how a wild bear feels in Canada now! Thanks team kainga

My fave place to eat in the wairarapa. Consistently good food and coffee. Have tried lots of items on the menu and love the fresh flavors and the fact it's healthy eating too. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Food was very good. Really friendly staff. Love going to this place.
Coffee was good. Highly recommend.

Great food, service is quick and friendly and there is a nice feeling when you come in, relaxed.

Everytime! Delicious, great vibe, I'll be back againagain! Thank you for all the yummy

After walking the whole Main Street of Carterton, we were so glad to find this place. Situated next to New World, we saw 2 policemen tucking in to their breakfast on the outside table. We thought that if the local cops dine there, then it is worth a try.

I had tried to be good and not drink too much coffee, but I had to order because I wanted the coffee art the barista had been doing for other customers.
Bonus is that the coffee were good, too.

Tofu peppered toastie and scrambled eggs on sourdough were great, too.

If you’re on the way up from Martinborough, skip coffee there and come here instead.

Super friendly staff, was a bit odd getting a coffee in a glass but didn't take away from the fact it was delicious. Loved the openess of the environment.

A great space, freindly staff. Coffee was great lots of tasty sounding food options. I got a pork and prawn salad, it was fantastic.
Definitely worth stopping in.

A lovely addition to Carterton.

Bright open space, with a fair few tables outside and under cover, with a decent selection of cabinet and menu options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.

Good for a quick pop in brunch, or a coffee and bite to go.

Small selection of toys in the corner for younger kids, as well as a colouring in menu for the arty ones.

Staff are friendly and accommodating, and the food we had was excellent. Looking around I could have picked what any of the other patrons we’re having and been just as happy.

Kids really enjoyed their Gluten free option from the kids menu.

Loved it there. Seafood Chowder and the Venison Burger were Awesome.
And great service from their staff.

Definitely our new favorite breakie spot, great atmosphere, clean & delicious!
Service was a little slow but the Kai & coffee was well worth the wait!

Far out - what an experience. Absolutely amazing food (I had the ribs), the coffee is next level and the service you cannot fault! I would 100% recommend dining here - you will not be disappointed - 11/10:)

Magnificent breakfast! The great coffee and service were a bonus to the incredibly well presented and very tasty breakfast! Very strong 5 stars!

Great service, tasty food (we tried the mac and cheese and the pork and prawn salad). Would recommend!

In a small town there is an amazing eatery.
Kianga in Carterton, stand up and take a bow

Apart from the delicious food and coffee, Kalinga provide a very sheltered outdoor seating space where our 2 corgis are welcomed, providing a lovely family lunch experience. Top marks to the lovely and accommodating staff who really made us feel welcome. We've never had a bad experience in the nearly 12 months they have been open. Would recommend.
