We ate lunch here in January 2022.
Crispy chicken burger with curly fries
Kumara rosti with haloumi and egg
Banana smoothie
If you are pregnant, then this is the cafe for you, situated right in the birthing complex, and full of pregnant women. Maybe not full to the brim, but there was definitely an overrepresentation of gravid uteri the day that we were there.
The food at Cravings Cafe was actually pretty good, and there were plenty of other things available that we would have liked to try. The chicken was very crispy, perhaps a little dry, but the burger overall was excellent. Very well constructed, and the curly fries, which come standard with the burger were top notch. The menu didn’t even say that the fries were curly, but damn were they curly, with several very large curlies present. The rosti was made with orange kumara rather than the usual purple which was a nice change. The haloumi was well cooked but very thin, too thin to squeak, as it turned out.
The banana smoothie wasn’t good at all, unfortunately. It wasn’t a banana smoothie at all, it was some kind of mix of tropical fruits and was just very sweet. The great texture and temperature were hard to appreciate with that flavour.
