Absolutely phenomenal experience!
The lamb rack was out of this world, perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The seared steak was something I’ve never had anywhere else: so original, creative, and pure culinary perfection. Every dish felt intentional and beautifully presented.
The cocktails were just as impressive — balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish, and the atmosphere was warm, elevated, and perfect for both a special occasion or a relaxed date night.
Even the desserts were incredible, the kind you don’t want to share.
Highly recommend stopping by for drinks and dessert at the bar or a full dinner if you really want to treat yourself. Everything here is 10/10!

We are adventurous when it comes to food, and asked Brittnee and Lilo to “surprise us” with every course. We were not disappointed, and don’t think we could’ve been because the menu is incredible. The bartender’s drinks were fantastic, and the chef and crew served beautiful creations. Highly recommend Namaka for the food, service, and atmosphere. A little off the strip in Kapaa, but a worthy find. We will be back again soon! Thank you Namaka! Stefanie & Robert

Got to give this place a solid 5 stars. The place.was.very clean and tidy. The receptionist was polite and kind. My waiter was great, very attentive. Now the food, the food was OUTSTANDING. the price is up there, but in my opinion, well worth it. The portion size and wonderful taste for the dishes I ordered was worth the cost. I will visit this spot again before I leave.

This was the 1st restaurant we tried on the island and it was a great experience and help set the vibe for our vacation. It was a Friday evening and there was no resetvations needed, we just stopped in and got seated right away. The food options are great and the bone marrow appetizer is a must. We struck up a convo with a local, listened to live music, and the chef even stopped by our table to say hello.
Don’t hesitate and give them a try.

We had an amazing time at Namaka in Kapa‘a. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of island charm. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home.
The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The drinks were also on point.
What really stood out was the balance between a lively, fun vibe and a relaxed local feel. Whether you’re a visitor or a Kaua‘i local, it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to return to again and again.
Highly recommend Namaka if you’re in Kapa‘a and looking for great food, great service, and a memorable dining experience! ✨

waitress wonderful and appeared to be bar tender and waitress when we were there sat between 11:15 and 1:15. Food took over an hour to come out and she thanked us for our patience. Vegi burger Patty was aweful. An egg white mixture? with chopped tofu and cheese dropped into deep fry oil? Results in a fluffy, not well spiced puff on the bun. It was a bit like fried ball of egg salad on a bun. Not recommended….not a ‘burger’ type substitution. Maybe sell it as an egg whip sandwich filling ? Anyway, we were not impressed or satisfied with this. Fries were good. As a vegetarian, I would not recommend this place unless you want a salad. A $25 egg white barely okay sandwich not a good feeling.

What a treat. The food was absolutely delicious. Bone marrow starter, burrata puff pastry and an amazing fish sauté. If only I could prepare fish that way. Our waitress was lovely and the owner/chef came to our table for a quick greeting. Mahalo for a perfect meal and evening. I forgot to mention the great drinks served in just the right glasses!!

A totally enjoyable evening! Very welcoming and friendly greeting when we arrived for dinner. Impressed with the menu. The salad bar was fresh and the ranch dressing is a must! We had a delicious brie appetizer. Glasses of wine. The ono was delicious and the beef brisket done perfectly. We saved room for brownie dessert!The manager, Lilo was our server and treated us as old friends. Very enjoyable. And the owner, Aurora came to the table and greeted us and introduced herself. The hostess was very sweet as well. There was live music that night…we sat outside and could hear the music perfectly while we dined. A totally enjoyable and delicious dinner!

Proud to write the 19th review of this AMAZING place. It may well have the best food on the island. It was Extraordinary. The menu is so creative; we wanted to order all the Starters!! We finally narrowed down the main courses to Roast Pork, Osso Buco & Mushroom/Corn Risotto. The Kiawe Roast Pork melted in your mouth! The Osso Buco (pork shank served over risotto) was unbelievable and the Risotto was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor throughout. We kept saying “Can’t wait to come back!!!”
Would be remiss if we didn’t talk about the drinks that Jen, the mixologist bartender prepared…. The Smokey Old-Fashion (real name was Paniolo something!) was presented beautifully and declared by two in our party to be the best Old-Fashion they have had in their entire lives!!
The service and care of the staff was impeccable. The chef should be so proud of the delectable creations she is presenting. We cannot even do justice to the superb tastes we savored.
Only little questionable thing was the salad bar – it was nowhere near the level of EVERYTHING else and frankly was a huge disappointment – at least get some decent dressings and interesting ingredients

Went for dinner tonight. Best Osso Buco I’ve had. Falls off the bone as it should and the seasonings were just right. The risotto was amazing too. My wife had the mussels and shrimp done to perfection. Our friends had the surf and turf. We also had some fantastic cocktails. The location is average but don’t let that stop you. The Chef is top notch and we would come back if we were here more days.
