Angora Cafe Restaurant

My partner and I were visiting Wanganui and wanted to go somewhere nice. Angora looked like a good restaurant but we were sorely disappointed.

The disappointment came from the terrible food that we were served. I had the Chicken Istanbul - which was meant to be a grilled chicken breast with tomato sauce, halloumi and a salad. The chicken breast was OK, but the sauce was acidic and the halloumi had not been fried or gilled (as what I would expect). The salad was served in a separate bowl which made it difficult to eat. This meal cost $26.50

My partner had the king prawns. They were tiny and had clearly been microwaved because the bowl was extremely hot and the sauce was burnt around the edges of the bowl. The presentation was shocking. The prawn dish costed $29. The prawns smelt and tasted like they were from a frozen packet. We were not expecting fresh king prawns, but definitely not ones that came out of a frozen pack given the price.

The table behind us complained to the waiter about their meals, and the table beside us could be heard complaining about their meal amongst themselves too. We were certainly not the only ones disappointed.

Definitely won't be going back there myself.

Food was great, but unfortunately about 1/3 of the items on the menu were unavailable which made it hard to order.

Not overly happy with the service we received, the staff were nice but one of our meals was missed and there was 4 items not available on the menu that night.

I really liked the cocktails we had there - not necessarily why we went but we went through a few of them!

Food was great but service could have been better
