Great for vegetarians. Their salads are so good, that you don't want to fill up your pita bread with felafel. My recommendation is to get a veg salad pita bread, with a felafel on the side.

Every time we are in Whangarei we have to stop in at the Fat Camel. They have consistently good coffees and we've tried their shakshuka for breakfast, and their chicken and lamb kebab on rice. So so tasty! Their home made hummus is delicious, as...More
