Exquisite Dining
At WAKA, the essence of Polynesia comes alive—a celebration of culture, cuisine, and connection. From Hawaii’s Prawn & Salmon Poke, a vibrant blend of sushi rice, avocado, and seaweed salad, to the Tomahawk, charred to perfection and perfect for sharing, every dish tells a story. The Roasted Seabass in Banana Leaf, inspired by ancient island cooking, pairs smoky aromas with tropical sides like coconut rice and bok choy. Dining at WAKA isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey to the heart of Polynesia, one unforgettable bite at a time.
Crafted Cocktails
Step into a Polynesian reverie at WAKA, where island traditions and tropical flavours come alive in every sip. Our cocktails pay homage to the rich heritage of Tiki culture, weaving tales of sun-soaked shores and ancient rituals. Experience the Mai Tai, a timeless Polynesian creation that captures the spirit of escapism and celebration, or savour the Waka Tai, a rum-forward blend with nutty tropical accents that stays true to the original while embracing a modern twist. For an adventurous plunge into the heart of the islands, the Lava Lagoon ignites the senses with a fiery fusion of rum, vodka, pineapple, and zesty yuzu—channelling the untamed energy of Polynesia’s volcanic landscapes.
