Sweet Mother's Kitchen

Finally…a restaurant that knows how to do a steak medium-well, without the chef throwing his toys out of the cot, or knives at the serving staff. I came late on a Monday night, no trouble. My waitress knew how to make the perfect G&T too Meal was reasonably priced, and came with my all-time favourite…curly fries in duck fat. Great atmosphere, with plenty of diners for a Monday.

Have eaten here for 12 years off and on. The food comes served in little plastic baskets, so it really does feel like the quintessential diner experience, right in the heart of Wellington. Brunch is also available every morning, and all day over the weekend. There’s a good selection of classic desserts too, classic American pumpkin pie included 🎃. The venue is now tired with little interior updates. The food prices are very fair and tasty. The added value is Sweet Mothers also sell alcohol 🍸 😀 with its fun and spicy food!

My wife and stopped by here for some lunch. Had an amazing lunch here. The service was great! Comfortable seating and eating area. I would have wished for a side plate on the table, would have been easier to share food with my wife. The fried chicken I had was crispy and yet not greasy. Same for the fries. I would definitely go back here to try more items of the menu.

Went there for there for breakfast and dinner. For breakfast had the eggs bomba, breakfast burrito with SMK spicy sausage and a side of hash. It was delicious and would definitely order the dishes again. For dinner had the jambalaya, jerk chicken, fish tacos and pork belly tacos and curly fries. The jambalaya was delicious however would prefer dark chicken meat over chicken breast. The tacos were also good - crackling on the pork belly wasn't as crunchy as I like it but I am very picky when it comes to crackling. The jerk chicken was disappointing and would not order again - chicken breast was dry (again prefer dark meat) and the beans were basically tasteless. The dessert of banoffee pie and key lime pie was also quite good. Personally, I'm not a fan of banana flavoured caramel in the banoffee pie but overall it was still good.
