About

Tikka Kai serves North Island from 29McLean Street, Waitara 4320, New Zealand.

Visitors give it 4 out of 5 across 62 reviews. Waitara sits north of New Plymouth, and the town is reached by road from Auckland, Hamilton, Taupo and Wellington. That road network also links the town to Rotorua, Tauranga, Napier and Hamilton, so a stop here fits a wider North Island itinerary.

New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish. The surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, though the weather changes quickly.

Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black. Māori culture is central to national life, and te reo Māori is an official language alongside English. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
