OUR STORY
Humble roots,
Big flavours
Bosco started over 20 years ago in Te Kuiti as a small, family-run café. Today, our restaurant at The Lakes, Tauranga carries on that same spirit — serving great coffee, hearty meals, and authentic Indian food made with care. We believe in keeping things real — a warm, welcoming space where families, friends, and neighbours can relax and enjoy good food together.

From morning lattes to cocktails at our licensed bar, we’ve got every mood covered. Hosting an event? Our space fits up to 200 guests. With gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options plus authentic Indian flavours made with fresh ingredients, there’s something for everyone.
