Kalama's
Kalama's Review
The little yellow café near Kealakekua Bay is a great place to stop after a morning of kayaking or swimming with spinner dolphins. The Kauai-born proprietors serve up excellent Hawaiian offerings like the popular laulau burger made with cured pork, or complete entrées like grilled ahi or teriyaki short ribs. Be sure to try the mahimahi burger—it's might be the best mahimahi you'll ever eat. For the kids, Kalama's offers shave ice, musubi, hot deli sandwiches, hot dogs, and burgers grilled on the barbecue and served on a soft potato bun. Everything is cooked to order, so grab a table, change your watch to island time, relax, and enjoy the view.
