Name For Tiki Restaurant - General Tiki

In the US you need to name it in such a way that patrons will know exactly what type of restaurant it is. We have cheeseburger joints, Italian, Chinese, etc. In Tahiti, you don't have to pretend that you are in Tahiti because you are ...... In Tahiti. Are there any notable geographic names that you could tie into the restaurant name? A name of a nearby mountain, or bay, or tribe. Is there a common expression in Tahitian like Aloha?
