Shani's Family Eatery & Bar

After a mishap with one of our meals the manager Raj gave a complimentary dessert which was really not necessary, but insisted even though we said we were full. Not to mention how delicious our meals were. Buffalo wings and fish and chips and the complimentary dessert was banoffee cheesecake. Divine meals just delicious!!!

Shani’s in Taradale — you never disappoint! 😋

Such a lovely local spot with food that’s always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The portions are generous (you definitely won’t leave hungry!) and the staff are super warm and friendly — they make you feel right at home.

+ The ribs and chicken… sooo yummy! 🤤

The fries is not oily and the salad is very stunning!!

Definitely one of my go-to places in Taradale for a satisfying meal.

Burp!!

Did not dissapoint!! Awesome service. Didnt have to wait long. Starters were yum. Cajun Chicken Wings, Crumbed Camembert, Pulled Pork Croquettes, Garlic Bread, Cheesy Garlic Bread and Baked Baguette. The Pulled Pork Croquettes were a fav and I really enjoyed the sauce with the Cajun Chicken Wings. 3 of 6 had the unlimited ribs 🤤 The best!! Steak, Chicken and Avo Burger and Grilled Chicken were also good. Our little and noisey guy had the kids Chicken Nuggets having to take his leftovers home. Well worth the money spent. Love they have an awesome kids room. This big kid had a wee turn on Mortal combat lol. Over all I know where im going for ribs next time were in Napier. Thank you for accommodating my family.

I came here for the Wednesday $19 meals. The portions were great and the taste excellent. The lamb shank had rich gravy over it. The batter on the fish was light and crisp. The steak was done to a perfect medium rare.
The only downside was I wished the apple and rhubarb crumble had more rhubarb, but it was delicious.

Very busy when i got here, and customer service was great. Taking our orders promptly, and great communication.

- Garlic bread 8.0/10
Nice starter, like a brioche style loaf, with a great amount of garlic butter. Solid.

- Scotch fillet 8.4/10
Asked for medium, and received medium. Mushroom sauce is buzzing, and the fries has some amazing seasoning on them. Brocolli and cauliflower with some tasty cheese sauce.

- Spicy calamari rings 8.4/10
Expected more heat if you use the word spicy. Cooked well, and the salad on the side was refreshing too. Also the same great chips too.

Burgers looked good too, ill try one next time.
