alright I absolutely hate this place!! although every time I go… its with friends and Arabs who love the place… the service is s**t… I’m sorry but it is… the manager there thinks he is all that… but hes not…

it was my friends 21st and we wanted a table so we asked the nice gentleman if we could have a table of like 10 or 15 people.. of course it was OK so he sat us at two different tables. we were alright with it for a while… then I asked him if we could refrigerate the cake and when it was time we could have the cake.. so I handed it to him inside the box expecting it would sit in the fridge and come out on a nice serving plate with a knife…

cake time came round and we got the cake… still in the box… he placed it on the table with a knife on top… expecting us to open it and cut it and serve it… (he didn’t even sing happy birthday) was pretty shit service if u ask me… then later before we left he asked us to pay 10 dollars for that cake service… Wtf?

donesnt even deserve one star as the food is way over priced… as well as the shesha… sigh

I’ve had a good experience there previously, but this time around, 1 wait staff in particular made the experience particularly unpleasant. The food was reasonable.

However, after 20 minutes of ordering food and asking for water, we were still waiting for water to arrive and it only came after we asked for it for a second time from a different staff member. Also, that 1 aforementioned wait staff first told us to wait on a reserved table then told us to move to a table which could only sit 2 people without blocking the entrance (we had 3), then placed us outside on a cold day. When the restaurant cleared up (before our food was served), we asked to move inside and that wait staff sighed loudly before letting us move in though there were plenty of empty tables by then. What could have been a nice meal was ruined by 1 unpleasant staff.

We discovered this restaurant while out shopping in vulcan lane on the weekend. The lunch was fantastic and great value. Food was fresh and tasty and wait staff were onto it. Its hard to find good upmarket turkish food in Auckland these days so would recommend this as a place for dinner as well with friends.

I love this place. The $15 lunches are delicious and the Tiramisu is divine. The service is always lovely. well done!

Good price – Main $25-30, however meal was average. My friends enjoyed their chicken dishes – shish kebab and black sea chicken. My grilled lamb was quite tough I had to cut into very small pieces to chew. Would have liked the Turkish lavash bread served on the side so it doesn’t get soggy by the time I get to it, underneath my food. Dessert was excellent, I had the chocolate whisky cake. Turkish apple tea was also great & smells divine. Nice atmosphere, the wait staff is a bit hit’n'miss. Felt a bit crowding us at times yet had to ask twice for dessert menu.

Really tasty, great location, choice of inside or outside seating (with big sun umbrellas if the weather’s nice). We went for lunch and chose off the $12 lunch menu, there’s something for everyone from grilled lamb salad with pide to an open chicken sandwich served with fries. Good value and delicious!

Surprised there were no reviews here as my partner and I really enjoy this restaurant and have been several times. The staff is very friendly and laid back. You’ll see the same faces there working whenever you walk by. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. Their chargrilled meats are very tasty, but their culinary skill does not stop there. Fragrant and perfectly cooked rice. Delicious hummus and tzatziki. The salad is fresh and wonderful with a tasty pomegranate dressing. My favorite dish there is the Anatolian Lamb if you want a recommendation. To finish the meal they actually make some of the best coffee we’ve had in Auckland. They also have a daily $12 lunch menu that has twenty or so choices.
