Shaka Restaurant

Frommer's Review

You can't miss the Shaka sign from the highway. This welcome addition to the Naalehu restaurant scene has white tile floors, long tables, an espresso machine, and a friendly, casual atmosphere. The serviceable menu of plate lunches and American fare will seem like gourmet cuisine after a long drive through the Ka'u desert. The servings are humongous, and the prices are kind to your wallet. Locals come here for the plate lunches, sandwiches (the Shaka burger is very popular), and honey-dipped fried chicken, and for the fresh catch at dinner -- grilled, deep-fried, or prepared in a special panko crust with a ginger-mango sauce. Bring the kids; they'll love the pizza.
