Acuda - HANALEI

Our server was very knowledgeable about vegan options and offered to customize dishes for us. We decided to try all seven vegan tapas and they were amazing. The lentils, mushrooms with white bean hummus (which tasted more like a cheese sauce), and the cucumber chickpea salad stood out as particularly delicious, but everything was top-notch. The meal was also very satisfying and filling.

The food was delicious and they had a great selection of drinks on the menu. As is typical with tapas, the bill can add up quickly.

This restaurant is nice. It was good that we went, but the hype was higher than the actual experience. The food was tasty, but some of the portion sizes were inconsistent. For example, the honey, cheese, and apple dish was delicious, but we could have used more bread. The staff were the highlight of the meal - very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations. A big thank you to our waiter (a cute surfer with white hair! Sorry, I didn't catch their name).

We had reservations for dinner on Saturday night. we got a nice table and our waiter was very helpful. we loved every small plate we ordered and will eat here definitiw again.

No photos except dessert, that was really delicious! can not revive exactly what it was, but it had caramelized ingwer on the top. this place is quite overpriced, especially when compared to the quality they get for about the same price in the neighboring restaurant ama. the beginning of the day was ahi tuna, which they advertised as rare, but at the table fully cooked. albondigas were our favorites. I still enjoyed eating, but would recommend ama many times about it.
