Review Cafe Manuka

Healthy Antipasti but Steep Price and Small Serving. I’m disappointed with the serving of their antipasti considering the steep price and just a fast casual restaurant. I can get a higher quality, bigger portion antipasti at fine dining restaurants at the same price. I haven’t tried their main dishes like pasta and pizza which seems to have a more justifiable value. But I will definitely avoid their antipasti unless you are craving for them. Don’t get me wrong, I liked my meal but the small serving doesn’t make sense. I how fresh and light in flavour my meal is, definitely a healthy option. Also, don’t fall for their price posted as its per 100grams. The staff are friendly and the dining area is cozy. I think I’d go back and try their main dishes.. the pizza looks yummy ;)

Food was okay, Bolognese was pretty good but service was horrid- waiter seemed so full of himself and rude. Pretty disappointing 😢 quite a shame though, food was pretty decent, with generous portions for the bolognese. Place isnt very big, so it might be hard to find a seat at times. Pricing is on the pricier side but i guess thats what you can expect from a restaurant at this area 🙂

I enjoyed the Spaghetti but the pizza was average. Ordering was through a menu at the website dapaolo.waitrr.com and payment was by credit card on the same website. After that the food was served promptly.

A bowl of salad cost $22++. The mushroom was a bit bitter and the prawn tasted like frozen prawn. I felt MBS outlet crews were much better than paragon.

Overall huge disappointment and very pricey. The overload of oil in every dish is quite a lot to take in. We ordered basil pesto pasta and aglio olio fungi - both didn’t taste of anything really. Definitely better pasta places around for a better price.

Went there to buy 15Y IV Centenario Aceto Balsamico vinegar! I realised is the only place that sell! The vinegar is so uniquely provided to the royals only in the past! The staffs there were friendly and kind enough to help. 👍😌

pasta and sandwich were good, pizza was just ok ... did not like the no-cash option

Nice cafe but Just ok. No any speciality but costy. I feel because of the place. not because of quality of foods or service.

Yesterday my family and I had the most ridiculous experience in this cafe! My mum asked if it would be possible to have an extra teabag in her pot of tea as she finds their tea too weak so she was given an extra teabag. But then we were given a bill double the amount of a pot of tea so we were charged for TWO pots of tea at $11 instead of $5.50!!!! This was for one pot of tea with 2 teabags for one person when we had not even asked for any extra hot water or an extra cup. How ridiculous is that? When we questioned the staff they said this was their policy and made no effort whatsoever to look into our complaint or do anything about it! All other coffee shops and restaurants charge a little bit extra for an extra shot of coffee or extra teabag but not charge again for a full drink/pot!! With so many choices of cafes and restaurants in Paragon and Orchard Road why would anyone want to waste their time and money in this ridiculous place and get ripped off?!!! Unbelievable!!

Been coming here over 1 year and usually love it but today was awful. Corn fritters were oily and soggy. Ordered sunny side up eggs and was brought scrambled eggs. When the error was brought to server’s attention, she stated the restaurant can only make scrambled eggs but not fried eggs. Sounded like there was a significant language barrier. Carbonara pasta was a tasteless soupy mess. When another server was clearing up dishes, she dropped a knife on my leg and instead of apologizing, she just said never mind. Huge disappointment.
