Timbuktu Nomadic Deli - Waiheke Island

A really nice place, offering many vegan choices. I had the vegan ‘chicken’ pie, which was very tasty!

I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for the restrictions on Non-Veg establishments. Okay so I had the chilli (which is incredible with cracker type things (that come with it . Then there were the various desserts.. The chilli is a must have and so is the award winning lemon meringue thingy. Soooo yummy and we'll worth the trip to Weihiki. Seriously! Go and eat all the vegan goodness that they have to offer! Oh and they have Hot Chocolate without the milk solids in the powder (rare find in Auckland . They also stock various frozen faux meats (garden etc , refrigerated cheeses (angel cheese and bio cheese and a few other bits and pieces (gummies, dandies marsh mellows, twilight bars etc. .

I went there for the vegan chilli. I came back for the vegan chilli. I came back AGAIN for the vegan chilli. Oh, and I'm looking forward to going there for my next vegan chilli. Did I mention that Timbuktu do a good vegan chilli? I haven't tried anything else, but I can tell you this: the vegan chilli is worth going for. Mmmmm. Vegan chilli.

I love people who give interesting names to things its even better when interesting is matched by quality of service and goods provided. This place is Delicious with the big 'D '. Many visitors never get beyond Oneroa when visiting Waiheke but really you should jump on a bus, bike, hitch whatever it takes to get you to Ostend. Timbuktu is on the main drag. I won 't be doing you any favours introducing you to the vegan date caramel slice sprinkled with rose petals you too will be come addicted like myself. Then there 's the super generously portioned vegan lasagna and the scrummy stuffed vegan egg plant dish. Did I mention the chilli and the award winning "Vegan Structured Lemon Meringue Pie '. Very reasonably priced big table out the back to sit around or takeaway. Run by a lovely group of people many whom are vegans themselves (I should add there are non vegan options as well as vegan deli items like the Bio and Angel Cheese range and a freezer full of vegan quick fixes for sale).

The best food made with pure love and passion. What you find here will be always fantastic: amazing food, excelent service, and wonderful beings a place to know!
