You are given a number on the top of your receipt, I think names work for me, more so. They have great children's meals either real chicken pieces, or natural cheese burger with potato wedges and a Charlie's juice. Nice one. I tend to go for the classic chicken burger with avocado. Maybe Kumara fries with aioli too. Mid-range price from $6-$13 for a burger. Scrumptious.

Not sure how this place does during the day time, but the nightlife crowd sure packed this place!…read more It was about 1:30am Halloween night, and when we arrived, there were only a couple of people in line. Shortly after placing my order, I turned to grab a seat and the line was OUT OF THE DOOR with zombies, corpses (dead zombies), vamps, and other various characters. The dead get hungry too, I suppose. As this was my first visit, I decided to order the largest burger on the menu (the Bastard) as a Low Carborator, which is nice because bread tends to get in my way when I eat. The Bastard is a grass-fed beef patty with cheese, avocado, mango, and beetroot, and the Low Carborator version nixes the bun for a lettuce wrap. Whilst this makes for a tad bit of messy eating, they include special boxes so that your burger patty doesn't go anywhere when you bite into it. So juicy. Soooo tender. Almost made me wish I ate bread (struggling Paleo). I also ordered a side of kumara fries, because burgers and fries just go hand in hand. I believe these were the purple kumara fries, as opposed to the typical orange kumara you see in most restaurants. The difference, I noticed, is that the purple kumara (which turns yellow once you cook it) tends to be more substantial in taste, almost heavy tasting. All in all, tasty burger joint, but I will have to come back and try their vegetarian onslaught, which include tasty looking bits made of pumpkin, chickpeas, ginger, and other goodies.

Whenever we used to go to the Video Ezy in Mt Albert shops I would look at this little kebab van in…read morewonder. Was the food there actually nice? It wasn't until last year that I actually found out the answer to my question. YES. The food from this weird van in the middle of the Video Ezy carpark is delicious. Like most kebab stops, Delicious Turkish Style Foods offers lamb, beef, chicken and falafel kebabs, as well as rice dishes, salads, burgers and an array of sides including chips and Turkish garlic bread. Unlike most kebab stores however, this van also has pieces of fish, onion rings, and milkshakes available. All the food prepared in the Delicious Turkish Style Foods van is Halal and all the salads always look fresh, crisp and delicious. If you're in the mood for something Turkish, stop by the little icon of a van in Mt Albert and try some food from Delicious Turkish Style Foods, you won't be disappointed!

I have this preconception, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one, that any food sold out of a…read morecaravan is inevitably greasy, stodgy, and riddled with diarrhoea-inducing germs. I don't know why I have this idea - probably from British television, where everything sold out of a cart is grey and comes with peas. It's not fair though, because in real life my experiences have all been positive. White Lady is fine if a little overpriced, and this place is actually pretty good. If you ignore the fact that it's a caravan this could be any Turkish takeaway, and it'd be quite a bit better than a few I've tried. And once you accept that the food isn't full of botulism the fact that it is a caravan gives the place a certain roguish charm. I haven't tried their burgers (call me a traditionalist) but you can't go past a kebab and chips on your way home from the video shop.

The food is fairly pricey, even for snack food, although it was compensated by tasting delicious.

Moved on to kingfish Andre/ appetizer which was served with a coconut/ cream and delicate sauce. The fish was raw but a delicious flavor combination Then the lamb !! Wow ! Served with a delicious, reduced glaze and delicious trimmings. The meat fell off the bow and delivered an amazing flavor The mane was venison medallion steak which Was served rare, but just tender as can be and also excellent. We finished with the caramel and cheese based little tart that you can see in the photo, which was really just amazing! We also had good chocolate dessert which was a little bit of a misnomer because it was mostly chocolate shavings and a little puffy sponge type chocolate thing. No heavy chocolate heavy flavor. Very interesting. The decor is plain andofern with a lovely garden outside Servers were knowledgeable and efficient - refined I would say A truly memorable meal

If you're into a more simple, clean, and perhaps lighter taste, then this is your place! Maybe this place was hyped up too much? Or I was feeling extra hungry when I went and my dish wasn't super satisfying... Things we ordered which were just aight: - Herbed Broken Eggs (asparagus, zucchini, pecorino, onion & oregano salsa served with freedom loaf bread): light & clean, but wasn't very filling. Probably should have added bacon! Haha ... it was also a little on the blander side in terms of taste! - Green Eggs Benedict with House cured slab bacon: bacon and eggs were tasty but overall the dish was a little bland as the traditional eggs benny hollandaise sauce was replaced by a green sauce! - Creamy Mushroom + Poached Egg: tasty but too sweet! Overall the presentation was lovely, the service and restaurant environment were also great, but I really value the taste of the food and this place didn't really satisfy my tastebuds ... BUT this is a place you should try at least once to judge for yourselves! Haha the items are definitely very clean and healthy!

Service was quick and prices were exactly what I expected for this location. I will visit again as it is good little place for those waiting to head to a bus or the local office worker.
