Tasty food, healthy lifestyle. This is the slogan for the Kauai franchise that took South Africa by storm when it opened its branches way back in 1996. There are currently 54 retail stores nationwide and 82 In Motion outlets. The one that I just went to was the Rondebosch Main Road store, which is part of a small but busy section in the Southern Suburbs. It opens up onto the Main Road and is a great place to stop by for lunch, especially if you’re looking for an alternative to the normal greasy takeaway shops on offer. Kauai allows for both takeaway or sit-down options and they have ample space and free wi-fi available.
Almost every time I go to Kauai I have the same thing: the Mediterranean pesto wrap, which comes with mixed roasted vegetables, basil pesto, rosa tomatoes and feta. Every now and again I add chicken to this. It is amazing and always fills me up. So this time, I was in the queue and about to order the same thing, when I noticed something new on the menu. The Kahuna! This wrap comes with grilled marinated steak, honey and mustard basting, rosa tomatoes, avo spread, lettuce and yoghurt dressing. I couldn’t resist. I ordered this and decided to go for the gluten-free wrap option too. Not everyone gets the whole gluten-free thing right, but I thought I’d give these guys a try.
Delicious! Seriously good. Very juicy and the steak was so soft. I would definitely have this again. I ordered some biltong and mango slices from the counter too, which made a nice snack for later.
Kauai is great. They do incredible coffee and I’m a huge fan of their wraps and their muffins.
