Pacifica Kava Lounge - Ashburton

Pacifica Kava Lounge brings Ashburton a spirited journey across the Pacific Islands, India and Europe, blending island ease with subcontinental spice to set guests up perfectly for dining out - where conversation flows and flavours do the talking.

Start as you mean to go on with hot and crispy fried wings and aromatic chicken tikka infused with Indian spices. From there, the kitchen leans into punchy Indo-Chinese delights, premium rice specialities and rich, hearty curries: think creamy butter chicken, tender lamb korma and a robust prawn curry.

Broader tastes are welcomed too, with comforting classics and bistro favourites in the mix - perhaps a plate of oven-baked lasagne, seafood risotto, mustard-crusted baked fish or Peri-Peri grilled chicken - alongside salads, soups and small bites like salt and pepper calamari. Quality local produce anchors it all, letting bold spices and freshness take centre stage.

True to its name, the kava experience is a highlight: unwind with a traditional kava drink or explore a signature creation, and linger in good company as the evening unfolds. Gather your favourite people, follow your curiosity, and let the experience bowl you over!
