Reviews for Kiawe Roots in Lawai, HI
Hands down our favorite meals during our week long stay in Kauai were here at Kiawe Roots! I still dream of their food and... can?t wait to go back to have it again. We had dinner there and loved it so much we made a reservation on the spot forbreakfast the next day hahaha. A beautiful and creative fusion of many flavors?Filipino, Hawaiian, American. For dinner, weenjoyed their bbq meat sampler and O-M-G ? everything I love in one meal ? well cooked bbq American style, with filipino andHawaiian flavors woven into the marinades, sauces, and sides. For breakfast, we loved their Kalua Pork dish?the sauce had abright citrus tangyness that was a great complement to the smoky Kalua Pork with egg and rice. I tried out the banana breadpudding and loved all the different textures?the crunchy banana chip coating and the moist banana bread on the inside. Just,yum! Highly recommend making a reservation and trying out their food, no matter what meal! Read more
First experience at this Lawai location and we had Breakfast. Amazing flavors, good service, and great ambiance. Menu has a good... mix and variety of foods to choose from. We actually had trouble deciding what to get but ended up with their Lilikoi Pancakes,the Green Chile Skillet, and the Loco Moco. Soooo Good!! ???? It's not a very big place inside, but would totally be worth thewait if there's a line. Will definitely be back! Want to try their lunch and dinner options next time. Read more
I?m almost speechless by how outstanding the food is at Kiawe. We visited for dinner on our last night on the island based on a... recommendation from our surf coach and wow?the absolute best meal we had while on the island (and waaaay cheaper than the superfancy places we had been going to up to this point). And 100%, hands down, the BEST ribs I?ve ever tasted in my life. Atmosphereand service is phenomenal as well. This place is a must!!! Read more
Fantastic breakfast spot on Kauai! This was recommended to us by a friend. We loved our breakfast! The food was fresh and... flavorful. The ambiance is very relaxing in the restaurant. This is a great spot to visit! I wish we had more time to go back! Read more
An amazing meal! We all enjoyed our food very much, it was cooked to perfection. My friend told me ?you can?t go wrong with the... smoked meats? so I had the smoke meat combo (pictured); it was a lot of food but so good I ate it all! My parents both enjoyedthe smoked salmon and my girlfriend had the prime rib. The sauces were all really tasty (guava pepper was my favorite) and theside dishes were great too (love the slaw and the house made potato chips). The hibiscus olena tea was also delicious. Ourserver was really friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small so definitely get a reservation if you?re not doing takeout.Overall an excellent experience, we will be back! Read more
The most incredible food we had during our 14-day stay in Kauai. Before we left we made reservations to come back the next day... for dinner again. The Smoked Cheese Pasta was a great starter on the train of deliciousness. The smoked Gouda is the star butyou can get hits of the Parmesan as well. The Med was suggested to my wife to try from our server. The excitement in my wife?seyes with each bite! I choose the Wasabi Pea Crusted Fish and that dish blew my mind. As you worked through each bite, a newflavor would appear. And then the next bite some new flavor I wasn?t expecting. This is a must visit even if you have to drivean hour from the North Shore. Like I mentioned at the beginning, we made a second reservation for the next day to try more food.Simply incredible! A must visit! Read more
???? Half huli chicken plate is a lot of food, breast was very moist and tender Brussels sprouts are amazing! Very trendy and... foodie oriented Reservations are a must, saw several walk-ins get turned away ???? Service is good, but was tough to get theserver's attention after a couple of large parties were seated (only one server working when I went) Read more
Best meal we had in all of Kauai and Maui! Delicious and super flavorful food, with friendly staff, and super accommodating to... allergies! We loved every dish we tried! So good that we went for dinner and later returned for breakfast. Must visit in Kauai! Read more
