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.
