Carram Deli And Cafe

Fantastic restaurant! Pho is amazing and authentic (didn't survive long enough for a pho-to!). Banh mi is so good that after I ordered (and devoured) one, I had to order another! Highly recommend the pork banh mi, roti cannai with chicken curry (oh my gawsh, the chicken curry had all the flavorful spices and a to-die-for delectable roti: fluffy, crispy, tender -AND chewy?!- hand made and grilled, how in the world can such a contrast of textures exist in such a perfect flatbread? How can it soak up AND still retain its integrity after immersion into the delicious chicken curry?!). Aaaaand, finally, after searching most of North Shore, DELICIOUS and true vietnamese coffee! I finally had it iced like I remember! I had to take a picture of it, because it was too good to be true! Well, it was too good to not indulge! Pairs well with their popular white chocolate (blondie) brownie. Sigh... returning for the beef mamak that I've yet to try!

Went this afternoon with my mum. The man at the desk was very friendly. Not super noisy. The roti and curry was yummy, and I am thankful they let me have a vegetarian curry instead of chicken. I would love to go back and try the baking - the food in the cabinet and the brownies on the counter look delicious.

I’m a big fan of coffee, a huge fan of a breakfast and absolutely love great service. Some places can usually manage 1/3, 2/3 but rarely and I mean rarely hit the big 3/3 for me. Carram deli & cafe in Devonport with its big windows, and inviting light interior is a place you need to patronise if you want all three. From the warm friendly greeting from both server and chef to the last fork full of sauté potatoes and final sip of coffee it screams quality. I ordered a ‘tall black’ coffee and the BIG breakfast and took a seat, coffee and a glass of water were promptly placed upon table while I listened to the sizzling bacon, mushrooms with fresh thyme and sauté potatoes being cooked and enjoyed the music, a cool mix of 50/60s R&R. I’m not usually a big fan of taking photographs of my food as I tend to order when I’m hungry and therefore being a generally impatient pom like to get stuck in. In this case however a photograph was required and posted on Facebook as friends back in the UK need to visit NZ just for the breakfast at Carram, it’s completely worth the 28 hour journey. The mushrooms, bacon and potatoes are joined by chorizo sausages, a heap of streaky bacon, grilled tomatoes and a couple of perfectly poached eggs on toast, as well as some home made tomato relish. It’s delicious, everything on that plate was delicious and try as I may to sip the water and coffee in between each mouthful as to make it last longer it was soon abandoned so I could just eat and enjoy it. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. 3/3 and all 5 ⭐️ on every review site possible. I’ll see you again tomorrow btw!
