    Chicken curry
    Alyssa L.

    After a long day driving at road to Hana, we made a pit stop to Paia to grab some food. We stumbled upon cafe des amis as we were walking along the streets but have also heard that their savory crepes were worth trying so we decided to stop by. The restaurant was tucked away near an ice cream shop, and had outdoor patio seating that was covered. We ordered a savory crepe, which I did really enjoy. The consistency of the crepe resembled almost like a quesadilla. It was cheesy, filling and tasty. I did not enjoy the chicken curry as much. Maybe it was my assumption that the curry would be more like an Indian style curry but I didn't notice as much of the Indian spice that I'm typically used to for this dish. The spices really reminded me of what they'd use in a Mexican dish like in a burrito bowl. We also ordered a peach/raspberry smoothie (not pictured) but it was more tarte than I would usually like. Overall, this restaurant was not a bad find for a quick bite to eat after a long day and the service was quick on a Tuesday afternoon but I probably would only order the savory crepes if I were to come back.

    This is one of the place you must try when you're in Paia. The ambiance is relaxing and very laid back. You can get crepes and you can get curries and by the way they also makes really phenomenal lattes! I've had the Maui Grass Fed Beef Curry that I quite enjoyed. The beef were tender and you can also ask for two different chutneys which is mango and habanero chutneys. Portion was generous, prices was reasonable and service was friendly. You will get your money worth eating here.

    Searching for a restaurant in Paia and stumbled upon this one on Google. It seemed interesting since the cuisine offered a mix between Indian and Mediterranean. Luckily, we arrived during Happy Hour so I took advantage and ordered one of their specialty cocktails--the Lillikoi Margarita. It didn't disappoint. For my meal, I got the Chicken Curry & Rice wrap. I felt that the mango chutney side wasn't needed as it already had a kick on its own. I also ended up asking for more cucumber raita as the side they offered only lasted me half the wrap. The server was nice enough to give me more at no additional charge. I really enjoyed my time here. We sat by the table directly next to the sidewalk so it was a good seat to people watch if you're into that. If i had stayed at Paia longer, I would've gone back to order something else since I left highly satisfied.

    Love their crepes! We come here for their Breakfast Ham, Egg and Cheese Crepe. It comes with salad and sour cream. My husband and I share and we get the Strawberries and Cream for sweets. Yum! We have also gotten Banana and Chocolate or sub with Nutella. Another great option for sweets. They also have good mochas, iced or hot. There is outdoor seating as well as indoors. Service is good. They are helpful and nice. Must try when in Paia, Maui.

    Spinach and feta crepe

    Love love love the spinach and feta crepe! Came here at 4pm. It was nice and quiet. Chase was our server and she was the sweetest and most friendly server! Love the ambience of this place. The floor is mostly stones, walls were mostly bamboo, lots of plants and fresh air. Perfect place to go for a snack.

    Cafe De Amis was an oasis in this quaint town. We walked in and were greeted by Ginger whose smile said, "Welcome." We both had coffees. The Americano and Caffe Vanilla were delish. This gauzy gem is filled with green plants swaying in the breeze. I love the music playing in the background which added to the beauty of our meal. I haven't even spoke about the food, yet! We tried a beef crepe and a Greek salad. The crepe was cooked just right and the beef inside tender. The Greek salad was plentiful with a tasty dressing. It was most likely the best Greek salad I've had in many moons. We had a wonderful meal. It was perfect. This was such a gift as I am recovering from a surfing accident where I broke my leg in Maui. Thank you Cafe Des Amis for your sustenance. I am in a wheelchair and they thoughtfully placed us at a table near the entrance.

    Service very slow, may have to leave, been 25 mins. Seems nice, from what we seen in the food looks good smells good.

    Do I recommend this place??? Is the pope catholic???? Of COURSE I do. Not only do I recommend this place but I go out of my way to make sure when any guests come to Maui they come here! I just adore the savory crepes. Specifically the ones that make me feel most truly alive and overwhelmed with joy are the mediterranean veggie, feta, pesto and the pork, salsa ones. The little side salad always throws me for an extra whirlwind of happiness. The happy hour is good and the sweet crepes you can't go wrong. The SITTING is so adorable. Perfect hawaii, laid back, garden, open air but covered seating area. I love it here okay and I almost regret not gatekeeping this absolute gem of a restaurant but I must let the people KNOW

    Happy hour is 4-6 pm

    The food here is so delicious and service with a smile. I shared the Butternut squash, garbanzo & coconut curry & rice burrito with my husband for lunch and it was wonderful! So amazing we did it again the next day for dinner. You will be so glad to have tried the food here while visiting Paia Maui. Highly recommend!!! Relaxed Ambience with groovy music and great cocktails! It's Amazing and I ordered this two days in advance row while visiting Paia Maui.

    So different and so delicious!!! I loved that there was so many protein options, including plant…read morebased. Seafood is always good in Maui so I went with fish empanadas and camarones arepas. More than enough for one person../probably a little too much for one person :) The inside has pretty limited seating and there is some outdoor seating, but also limited- so you may want to consider ordering to go. The parking lot is also pretty tight since the entire back row is reserved for employees

    Actually was quite pleasantly surprised that we liked the Venezuelan food. The lady at the counter…read morewas friendly and helpful. Lots of plant based options. Beans were well cooked and flavored. So was the rice. The bananas/ plantains added good sweet flavor to the whole meal. The coconut cheese was interesting. Never had that before but it did taste like cheese and added flavor. The jackfruit arepa sandwich that we had, could have had the jackfruit, cheese, plantains mixed together better. The jackfruit bowl was better as it was easier to mix everything and get all the flavors together. Pretty much same as the sandwich but a little more and easier to mix (so would recommend the bowl over the sandwich). The sandwich seemed to be made of rice. We also had a mango and a coconut slushie drink. The mango tasted like the mango concentrate from Costco (sugary) and the coconut was a little more original/ different. We liked both though. Limited indoor seating. Outdoor seating available. Steady flow of patrons. The only thing I didn't like was that the price was a bit high though in my opinion but I guess everything in Maui is that high priced. Update: went back and got a coconut slushie drink again :) and tried the plant based mushroom and cheese (coconut cheese) and fish empanada. They were delicious with the mushroom being our favorite. The chipotle sauces and cilantro onion sauces were delicious as well! The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade so you cannot seperate out the cheese from the mushroom but it does not have a strong flavor). I also liked the coconut slushie by itself vs mixed with mango. Note: The empanadas come in 2: when you eat in house, a red Chipotle sauce and white cilantro onion sauce are given with it (as well as with the arepas); there is another sauce for vegans (think it's a cilantro/ oil/ spice sauce). We liked the white sauce better than the vegan sauce. The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade). If you order to go, you are only given once sauce. If you want more than one, you need to just add it on before you leave with the big dispensers. Otherwise, you only get one sauce (not sure why you can't just add white and red sauce in the same to go container but we weren't given the option). And, to make things worse, the lady said curtly she would charge me next time for 2 sauces "due to the plastic". well, thank you for not charging me but the statement was unnecessary IMHO. Note for improvement (and for this, I was tempted to drop the star rating): we came here multiple times and gave your business a lot of our dollars (about 135.00), yet the above statement, I don't think was necessary if you are trying to provide good customer service. You should gladly offer extra of the sauce or even, as I suggested above, allow customers to add the sauce themselves if they want more than 1 sauce and you don't want us to "use up your plastic containers". Kind of left a bad taste in our mouths.
