Delicious Food with a Local and International Twist

​

Despite its name, Annie’s Fried Chicken offers more than just crispy, perfectly seasoned fried chicken. The diverse menu includes poke bowls, Vietnamese Banh Mi rolls, and vermicelli bowls, offering a refreshing break from heavier island fare.

​

One of the standout menu items is the Pork Banh Mi Roll, a 10-inch bread roll generously filled with fresh cucumber, pickled carrots, onions, coriander, Hoisin sauce, and pepper mayo. The highlight? Slow-cooked pork with crunchy crackling, delivering an unforgettable mix of textures and flavors. The Vietnamese-inspired dishes, like the chicken vermicelli bowl with nuoc cham, provide a light yet satisfying option, making Annie’s the go-to place for a fusion of flavors in Rarotonga.

​

If you’re craving comfort food at its best, the fried chicken and roast pork are also excellent choices – both are cooked to perfection and served at reasonable prices.
