Review Fat Camel - Whangarei

Brunch today was courtesy of Fat Camel Israeli Café and it was delicious 😋. Had an Israeli coffee (a 1st for me), and it was lovely. Brunch was Shakshuka, absolutely scrumptious and an Iced mocha. Such a beautiful café, great atmosphere, very busy with lots of people stopping in, plenty of seating inside and out. The service was excellent. I really enjoyed my Israeli experience, and I'm so glad I found this Café, thks Google. If you're in Whangārei do stop by. You'll not only enjoy the experience but really love the food too.

We had the chicken pita pocket and smoked salmon bagel. Chicken shawarma pita pocket was particularly delicious and flavourful, generous portion (though more hummus would have been wonderful). Friendly staff and good service, highly recommend to anyone coming to Whangarei!

Best Barista in the north! Had coffee here this morning, was amazing! The foot here is amazing too. The staff and Idan are very welcoming, friendly and very hospitable! Would definately come back a third time next time we're in town!

Awesome cafe, amazing food, super friendly staff. We stopped here on Boxing Dad, and this was a great find! The food was absolutely delicious, the best pita ever. And a great selection of cakes with excellent coffee.

Delicious food. Great location and vibe. Really enjoyed our dinner. Authentic food. Try the special platter if you can't choose.

I have eaten loads of shwarma in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - the chicken shwarma pita pocket at the Fat Camel is right at the top as a bona-fide contender for the "most flavoursome chicken shwarma" category. It's not cheap by any means, but the quality of the marinade they coat the chicken pieces in is most certainly worth the price! Maximize your dining pleasure : dine-in and slowly chew each mouthful to savour the layered complexity of sour cream, veggies and meat, encapsulated by the jus-absorbing pita. טעים !

Amazing food, awesome selection for vegans and carnivores alike. Friendly courteous staff. Highly recommended

Really good food and great coffee. Friendly staff. Had a fat camel special breakfast

I am glad I found this little busy cafe hidden in a lane, food on the menu look good with some healthy option, like vegetarian and gluten free. Quite big portion, but delicious. You should give it a try if you are in Whangarei, strongly recommend. Service is good too!

We stumbled upon this little gem by accident. It was well worth it. The dishes are phenomenal. It gets quite busy and given that it's a wee little place seating can be a mission. Service is great. It's mostly Cafe food but excellent if you want to give Israeli food a taste.

I can't rate Fat Camel Cafe highly enough! Awesome vibe, beautiful people and all the food is second to none. Thank you Fat Camel for such an incredible menu of absolutely delicious food. This place is the best!!! We will definitely be back. :)

I love the Fat Camel. We go there regularly because the food is delicious and healthy; I had chicken recently (which was fantastic) forgoing my favourite their falafel. The atmosphere is friendly and casual; I love the vibe of the cafe and sincerely recommend you pop in day or night.

Great food & service! So nice to be able to eat straight off the menu for a change, as a coeliac its a pleasure to eat food as it was intended by the chef!

We stopped off at The Fat Camel yesterday afternoon and had a delicious deconstructed spicy chicken salad. The owner was so helpful,friendly and accommodating; we will most definitely be back. Due to dietary requirements they were able to offer GF options and my blueberry friand with whipped cream on the side was delicious. My husband had the best baklava ever! Our coffee was superb. Well done; it is rare to find a place where everything is perfect. Would love to see you open a Fat Camel in Mangawhai! Thanks so much.

Popped in this evening for a quick meal and coffee. My husband loved the food and we both left feeling full but not bloated and full of bad fats. We have both been converted and will be back again . Thanks for a super meal

The Fat Camel is situated on Quality St in Whangerei. If you want to smooth your jewish soul this is the place. Each dish has that extra dimension of flavour that sings out "this is the real deal". The dolmades, the shakshuka and the baklawa. Just made me long to go to Tel Aviv and soak up the sun. I love it. I had lunch and dinner there and will go back for breakfast in the morning. Shalom.

Had a great time, nice music great ppl and amazing food. Idan the owner was siting with me and gave me great advice's for my trip. I defiantly will come back.

With out a doubt the best vegetarian food I have tasted in New Zealand to date. People were great, will definitely be going there again.

Excellent cafe must try. Friendly staff. Awesome food

I'm sorry but this place was terrible, I ordered the fat camel special then was told about 20 minutes later they had run out of rice. Then when I asked the young boy behind the counter for water he told me to get my own from the fridge along with my own glass. Really disappointing as I had heard that this place was great. I certainly won't be returning here.

Great food and baklava. Nice decor and staff also to match thank you,

Everytime I'm in Whangarei to do my grocery shopping or go to farm source... This is where I choose to eat! My husband is a chef and he lives it here too! Fat Camel? Yum yum yum Best coffee in Whangarei, too!!! <3<3<3

Very good service and tasty food. The coffee is to die for!

Love this place - authentic food with so much flavour - can't get enough.

Beautiful food...friendly staff �

Delicious, fresh and healthy food. The service was great and the price is cheap. Couldn't ask for more. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this amazing place!

Beautiful food, beautiful people... full of life and laughter always a place that makes you feel at home!!
