🥗 One of your favourites...
When we were creating our new menu, one thing was easy...
Our customers already loved our Peruvian spiced chicken and our signature coriander mayo (or as many of you call it... the Green Sauce! 💚).
So when it came time to create our new menu, we built a bowl around the flavours you already loved.
Our Peruvian Chicken Bowl is made with Peruvian spiced chicken, roasted pumpkin, your choice of rice, salad or half & half, pickled onions, seeds and our famous Green Sauce.
Have you tried our most popular bowl yet? We'd love to hear what you think! 👇
📍 Visit us at Commercial Bay or, if you're short on time, order through Uber Eats.

🥣 OUR NEW WINTER BOWL MENU HAS ARRIVED 🥣
Today we’re excited to launch a brand new chapter for HNT Kitchen.
Over the past few months we’ve been simplifying our menu and focusing on what we do best: nourishing, flavour-packed food made from scratch.
The result is a new range of globally inspired bowls built around slow-cooked proteins, seasonal vegetables and our favourite house-made sauces.
This winter you’ll find:
✨ Persian Chicken
✨ Peruvian Chicken with our signature coriander mayo - we know you love that green sauce!!
✨ Sesame Pork Belly
✨ Miso Salmon
✨ Bang Bang Cauliflower - if you like it hot…
Choose your base:
🥗 Salad
🍚 Brown Rice
🥗🍚 Or a bit of both
Plus all the things you already know and love about HNT:
✔ Made from scratch
✔ Gluten free
✔ Free-range & grass-fed
✔ Real ingredients
✔ Big flavour
Whether you’re after something fresh, comforting, spicy or hearty, we’ve got a bowl for you.
Available from today at HNT Kitchen, Commercial Bay.
We’ve simplified the menu, but not the flavour.
Which bowl are you trying first? 👇

Big changes are coming to HNT Kitchen tomorrow. 🥣
Over the past few months, we’ve been listening to customer feedback, reviewing what works best for our team, and thinking carefully about how we can make lunch even better.
The result?
A completely refreshed menu focused on nourishing bowls packed with flavour, quality ingredients and the comforting, made-from-scratch food we’re known for.
We’ve simplified things, refined our recipes and built a menu around slow-cooked proteins, seasonal vegetables and our favourite house-made sauces.
The new menu launches tomorrow and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Whether you’re a long-time HNT regular or haven’t visited us in a while, we think you’re going to love what’s coming.
See you tomorrow.
👀 Keep an eye on our socials for the full reveal.

What a journey!! From Hammer & Tongs Food Stop to HNT Kitchen, we’ve never stopped serving Hearty, Nutritious and Tasty (HNT) meals to our community 💚
We first set out to give hardworking tradies a better option - but pretty quickly realised our food was for everyone, especially busy people who care about their health.
So our mission grew: to help change the shape of the fast food industry… and the bellies of those in it 😉
Nine years on, we’ve made it through a pandemic, recessions, rising costs, and now a global fuel crisis - but our mission is still the same: getting real, nourishing food into our communities.
Because eating well is hard enough when life is busy, and even harder when you’re managing allergies or intolerances.
To everyone who has supported us over the best part of a decade: thank you. We are so unbelievably grateful.
Happy birthday to all of us 🎉💚🥳
