About KANAKA KAVA


First and foremost, it's all about the house made kava served here.. truly the best in Hawaii! Fresh certified organic Awa, it's an excellent choice any time of the day, any day. As the name of the place translates, it's without question the people's kava! But they also specialize with fresh Noni juice which is so fresh and refreshing, it's hard to beat. But it doesn't stop there, they also serve a full Hawaiian menu that will please locals and tourists alike. As you can imagine, excellent outdoor scenic seating and foods that are kid friendly as well. Again, it's traditional Hawaiian so it may not be anything that you're used to but once you try it, it'll be something you'll fall in love with. We'd also suggest some of their amazing platters and variety of Luau to share with your friends. It's truly about a dining experience which you can actually state that you tried authentic island food.. and this is a great place to set the standard.
