Whatcha know bout salsa?

At The Fat Buddha, we only use fresh produce, locally sourced, and freshly diced in our Buddha headquarters.
No packets, no additives, and no processed kaka.
From our meats to our veges, it’s the real sh😜t.

What a massive night!!
Thank you to everyone who showed up last night for the final night of the Trust Horizon Light up Whakatāne - Light Festival!!

Y’all kept us on our toes from beginning till the end and the Kai was flying out the window!

We want to thank the entire crew of Ātea for providing whakatane with a buddhaful space for the community to come together and a space for us vendors to do what we love the most. Feed the whanau!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

To anyone who has purchased Kai from the Buddha and enjoyed what you received, we invite you to leave us a review. This helps us grow as a small business, and also helps us improve what we do as The Fat Buddha!

Have a blessed weekend

Nga mihi.
