Kahuwai Cookhouse, set within Kona Village at Rosewood, channels Hawai`i Island’s paniolo heritage through Kiawe wood‑fired cookery and traditional techniques such as pickling and salting. Food is prepared in an open kitchen for a communal, casual experience that highlights hearty plates — from porterhouse and Kona prawns to Kona lobster and pannier-style tortillas filled with beef picadillo, pork with salsa verde or slow chicken stew — alongside a salsa bar and house desserts such as grilled pineapple with coconut‑lime sorbet.
