The wife and I shared "The Feast", $30NZ for two meat skewers and a good variety of colorful extras I can't name except the hummus.

The prices are good and the kebab is hot, fresh, and tasty. They also have a consistent A health grade which is good to see. I would return for the very friendly man who works there alone. He gives off such a good vibe, I just bought a kebab off him but it felt as if I had made a friend. If you want a hot and nutritious meal quickly this is a great establishment. They have a tv on the wall playing Turkish programs which was interesting but I wish it had English subtitles so I could understand the jokes when I wait.

We decided to try this lovely place, i don't think this place has been here long but it seems really busy in terms of takeout. I guess everyone loves a good kebab !! But let's talk about the food, which is what we're here for !! Two things we got, the chicken shish (large) and a little share platter (chicken and beef)- I'm horrible with name so you're going to have to go by my description and photo ! Lols So firstly the chicken shish, the large platter comes with the chicken, rice, hummus, yoghurt with an olive on top. Flavor I will have to say 3/5 it was nice but I felt that it was lacking that kick or punch. Whilst I don't know how real Turkish food taste... I feel like they like their flavors so I feel like the chicken should have a bit more kick in them. The rice was light and fluffy!! The hummus was really nice to have with the chicken and the little green thing on the side (again I AM SORRY !! I am horrible with names!!). Next the platter! It comes with beef and chicken shavings (well that's what I call them cause they gotta shave the meat whilst it goes around and around and around ) The platter comes with Turkish bread, olives, humus and yoghurt like dip and salad. I may have forgotten a few things but that's what's the picture is for !! Lols, overall the platter was like an average platter you would get (i.e. Cheese platter) Overall the place isn't too bad for a kebab stop or for a little Shish or even dessert ! Even though I haven't tried it lols. But with the total bill being nearly 50$ it's a little disappointing! But hey that's my say, I still think y'all should give it a try !! Peace !!

On our drive to Tauranga, we needed a quick bite to eat, since it was already getting pretty late…read more So, we decided on the first town and and headed straight for the town center. We parked right in front of a take-out burger place and asked him for lamb dishes. He was kind enough to direct us to Mr. Kebab. Wow! We were impressed!! The place is spacious with seating inside and outside. A really fun decor... Turkish, I believe from some of the writing on the paintings. I wish I had been able to take pictures, but alas my phone had died. Some of the seating areas were cushion arranged around a low table, made it look more authentic for sure. The service was incredibly friendly. The gentleman, owner, I assume went out of his way to explain the dishes. We settled on sharing the lamb kebab (gyro style) on "chips".... fries.. lol. Four different, salad type vegetables, hummus, and 3 sauces. All for 15 NZ$. Oops, when we got to the register, we saw the sign: "no credit cards accepted" We had only just arrived in New Zealand and banks had been closed. We had 0 NZ $ !! No problem at all. Just pay in US $. How much? Oh... $10 should be fine. This was amazing to us. To top it of, the plate we ordered was huge. We could hardly finish it between the two of us. There also was a jug of water available free of charge. If I could mention one thing to improve would be to add ice cubes and a slice of lemon to the water. But other than that, the place deserves a perfect 10 Five stars all around for the tasty food, impressive services and a great atmosphere all over. Highly recommend this place!
