Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This hidden treasure at Riverside market is worth looking for if you need a quick and tasty gluten free lunch. Today I had their beautiful, freshly made gluten free fish goujons served in a gf bun. So good!.

Typically when an establishment celebrates being gluten free or coeliac friendly you find the general population finds their food lacking. Not the case for Herba Gourmet! I am not coeliac and enjoyed their food immensely. The rosemary fries were my favourite.
Generous portions, really friendly service (the male who served recommended the beetroot salad and it did not disappoint), good price point.
This place is no gimmick. They make actually delicious food.

Crumbled fish meal with beet salad and salad of the day was absolutely delicious and healthy. I got the kids size which was the perfect lunch size at a much more affordable price point and left me full until dinner. In my opinion, the regular size and price is a little too big and high for it to be a regular lunch option,

I have had the beetroot salad split with the chickpea salad numerous times from Herba Gourmet.
Previous times I have had the salads, I would have rated them 5/5. However, this time round I was disappointed with the meal. The salads were almost half the size of previous times with salad that tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time.
My husband had the crispy chicken in a bun with a side of hand cut fries. He also was disappointed with his meal because of the dry tasting bun and chips.
I really hope that Herba isn’t reducing the quality and quantity of the meals they provide while continuing to raise prices.
I have had good meals from Herba, but tonight’s meal was really disappointing.

I was starving after a long guided walk and the food here was to die for. You choose a protein and then sides and toppings and absolutely everything looked well worthy of a great meal. I opted for the falafels with the beetroot feta salad and hand cut fries topped with avocado. It was so big - too big really but I ate every little morsel because it was all so delicious. Didn’t even have dinner later. The falafels would rate as some of the best I’ve ever eaten. There are inside stools and outside tables. There’s a small but interesting range of cold drinks. My service was extremely friendly and quick and I’d really rate this for excellent great quality food.

I love HerbaGourmet! The staff are always so friendly! I'm on a low fodmap diet (gluten free, dairy free, no onion, garlic, beans.... List goes on) If you're low fodmap, you'll know eating out can be super stressful, embarrassing and dumb. The herba gourmet team are super adaptable. Most of the food is gluten free, and you can ask them for dairy free, and to leave out garlic and onion (and red cabbage as in the salad) Fish and chips and salad without dressing (but you can add extra lemon or avo or feta!) thank you so much for making life awesome Herba Gourmet!!

A great place with excellent food and staff, and reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and efficient, explaining the menu well. I liked getting to mix and match the different sides and protein (which were all delicious). I really love that it is gluten free too. Also the kumara ribbons are amazing!

Excellent service, fast food that's good for you. Excellent variety and value too. Fearless eating for Coeliacs or people with gluten intolerance. Seems like they cater for all food allergies.

The staff were friendly and efficient. But although the food was tasty the salad i got was very small, it was mainly rocket and not much if the actual salad choices which are the filling star pieces of the meal.

Looking for fresh food and healthy options at an affordable price this place ticks all the boxes! The front of house service was great and the guy super helpful. My food was ready in minutes and it couldn’t have been more delicious.
Highly recommend Herba Gourmet if you are ever at the Riverside market! I will be returning very soon.

Another good cafe where you select a couple of salads and a meat dish. Like Big Fig in Wanaka. Really goid selections. Yum!

Gluten free, ask about celiac requirements. Dairy free and vegetarian options. The food was very tasty and you didn’t have to wait long. A healthy takeaway choice.

Friendly and quick service. Fish was over cooked so not really a pleasant experience. Hopefully this was a one off, but not eager to try again.
