  Excellent local food. We preferred to eat here than at our overpriced hotel nearby.
  We also had a great conversation with the woman who worked there and is a family member of the owners.

  It’s an interesting spot on a lonely stretch of highway with a covered deck that overlooks the ocean. A handwritten menu on a whiteboard has limited menu options with a daily seafood catch. Frankly the food is ok and entrees are overpriced by 4X and the portions are small which might be why there weren’t any other customers when we were there. It was $400 FJD for the jumbo lobster that I paid 40 for in town. Maybe they think they can get away with it as it’s less than nearby Resort prices and due to a lack of immediate local options but this is no resort.
  
  On the positive side, their fresh fruit smoothies are truly exceptional (especially papaya picked right off the trees behind the store) and their dessert special “coconut snowball” was a treat worth a visit. The staff were, like everywhere in Fiji, very polite. We went there once to try it out but wouldn’t go back for dinner, just dessert. To experience better local dining options off the resorts plan ahead and catch the local bus into Sigatoka town.
  
  Vinaka!

  One of coral coast hidden gems. Beautiful fresh food. Locally owned and one of the best ways of giving back directly to locals. Enjoyed alot. Their coconut milk dishes are best. Yet to try curries.

  The view is to die for I must say 😍
  Just had our end of year break up party here and it was amazing. The food is absolutely delicious especially the lovo and goat curry. Yum! It's great for smaller groups of people as our lot wasn't able to fit well on the outside portion overlooking the sea. Friendly and well mannerisms of staff is a cherry on the top. For what it is; a small family owned restaurant along the highway, it's great.

  While staying locally, we became regular visitors. delicious Fijian meals and welcoming staff, made us feel like family. Kids loved the chicken nuggets and the Fijian 'donuts'. The fish curry was supurb and I highly recommend the passion fruit smoothie.

  Best seafood meal we had in 10 a day stay. Very friendly hosting with a fabulous setting right on the water.

  This place is a MUST GO if you're traveling along the coral coast or staying in one of the nearby resorts. We liked He-ni Uwa so much we went twice. Try the local dish kokoda and get a jug of lemonade while you're there.

  Looks like a shack from the road but food and view for your meal is outstanding. I'd recommend the raw fish salad, super fresh. Not cheap but everything is on resort pricing in this area but the food and view are a real step up
