Sometimes you're wanting Turkish food & this is a place in my neighbourhood that I go to. What I…read morelove too is it is a great meal for your kids rather than the macdees or takeaways. You can order chicken/lamb & rice meal for your kids. I've rated a 3 star because it's not the best Turkish food I've tasted but it is good! Ingredients are always fresh & prices are reasonable. I have ordered pasta off its menu but it tasted more like Turkish flavours so haven't ordered pasta again. However the Turkish food is good & the premises are clean. Never have to wait long for your meals.

Complementing their large menu are to large plates atop the counter with tidily packages baklava or Turkish delights. The basic kebab is well constructed, without falling apart or leaving a large puddle of sauces, and has well balanced ingredients, without a huge amount of overpowering parsley and onions. The vegetables looked fresh even at the end of the day (apart from the cheese that looked like no one had ordered as it costs $1.50 extra) The service was a little gruff, presumably because the shop was closing (or the advent of the Auckland Burrito Frenzy). But all in all this this a reputable kebab shop that takes pride in it's appearance.

There is not a whole lot that distinguishes this kebab store from most other kebab stores in…read moreAuckland, however I will endeavour to explain a few things. One thing that makes this store slightly better than the rest is the fresh ingredients that they use. There's nothing worse than ordering a kebab and seeing the soggy old vegetables they have sitting behind the glass. There's none of that here. The store itself is very clean and this makes you feel better about the quality of food that you get. Also, this particular kebab store does a spicy chicken souvlaki, which is delicious. The staff are very friendly and genuinely happy to serve, which always makes me want to come back here.

All kebab shops have a code that they live by, and a responsibility to all of their customers to…read morelive by that code. The code is simple: 1: All kebabs must be contain lots of meat 2: The meat must be juicy/greasy 3: The amount of salad must not overwhelm the taste of the meat 4: All intoxicated people must be served 5: The bottom of the kebab must be folded poorly so that it is impossible for anyone to finish the entire thing without the bottom falling out, resulting in juice all over face/clothes. Unfortunately Turkish Kebab Express is in violation of rules 1 and 3. The kebabs are pretty small, with too much salad and not enough meat. If I had wanted a salad wrap I would have gone to Pita Pit.

I have ordered from here once and went in with my partner after work…read more I spoke to the bald guy with bad English while also another guy was behind the counter and told him while pointing to what I wanted on the menu board which was a mixed kebab, chips and coke combo. After giving him the order and paying for it, I took a coke can out of the fridge to the side of the counter, both guys behind the counter saw me do this. After waiting for the two orders which didn't take very long, we walked out and a little voice in my head told me to look in my bag and check the order, which turned out to be a Chicken Slovaki which wasn't what I wanted (doesn't come with chips or drink according to the menu). I went back in to advise that the order was wrong and the balding bloke called me a liar and with a patronising baby-like broken English voice told me and pointed to what I had supposedly ordered (which was on the far end of the board). I told him I wanted the mixed kebab combo but went on to tell me that wasn't what I told him. I didn't want to argue as I had just finished work and to my advantage noticed that the Solvaki was more than what I had paid for so left as I couldn't be botherd to argue. To summarise I ended up with something that I didn't want but it ended up being actually quite nice, less of the price and a free drink I wasn't meant to have. On a positive note the shop is really clean, has music TV and nice decorations. I won't be going back again down the principal of being called a liar (customer is always right?) But would recommend the food as me and my partner enjoyed it.

GREAT MID-EASTERN RESTO…read more This joint was near our hotel, so my wife & I went for a take-out meal and had it in our room. We had the Shish Kebab meal together with an order of Hummus with pita chips and a baklava for dessert. Cost = $33. We devoured it all and thought it to be delicious. I may be a bit over-enthusiastic because we are somewhat deprived of good ethnic restaurants in Southwest Florida, but I must say we loved this meal.

I had heard this place was an Auckland classic for a cheap, good meal…read more Tonight I visited here and I'd say it's a good option if you're after a casual dinner. A pretty small menu, full of lamb and falafel versions of kebabs. I ordered a $22 special of lamb sis kebab - and I was delivered a full plate of lamb, lentils and salad. I was really happy with my meal choice and didn't have any order jealousy! This place isn't a BYO. But it is small and cheerful, with it's interesting décor (so many camel figurines around the place)! A couple of kids were having a great time playing with a box of toys that were in the cafe, which I haven't seen around at many other cafes!

I've been going to this place since I was eleven. That's a LONG TIME AGO. The owners and staff are…read morealways cheerful, funny and warm - I moved out of Titirangi years ago, they still recognise me every time and ask me about my family. The food is great and their hummus dip is always a good start: it comes with creamy spiced hummus and soft pita, as well as a drizzling of tomato sauce and greek yogurt. The kebab bread is always cooked fresh, never too chewy. Eat in or take away, the quality of the food is always fantastic and the salads are always fresh. Coffee leaves something to be desired, but I'll forgive them for that. Don't go expecting fine dining food - keep in mind that it IS just a kebab shop, and that's what you're getting. A kebab.

Shortly after they moved they enthusiastically took me to the Turkish restaurant they'd discovered, to have the delicious, exotic Turkish food. What they meant was now that they lived in a proper suburb, they'd found a kebab shop. And as exciting as it was for them, it's a kebab shop. A good kebab shop, with good kebabs (both wrapped and on rice), and apparently if you dine in there's a wine list which suggests a certain level of class that isn't the norm. But as far as the food goes, if you've ever had a kebab before, this is a good version of that. About as exotic as bolognese.

Instead, come here expecting fresh, made to order and packed full of flavour authentic Middle Eastern dishes. I am still making my way through the menu but my favourite dish to date is definitely the Lamb Shawarma - a delicious flatbread wrap stuffed full of grilled meat, herbs, pickles, tahini and a delicious garlic sauce. Incredibly satisfying but still somewhat healthy or at the very least, nourishing. Also worth a try are the Kooba - bulghar wheat dumplings stuffed with spiced lamb. I think they could do with a little more seasoning but nevertheless, they're pretty damn tasty. Although Petra's decor suggest it's more of a takeaway joint than eat-in restaurant, for a mid-week dinner I think it's legit. You will have to dine off paper plates but they have some preeetty sweet sequined chandeliers and if your lucky you may even be treated to some never-heard-before K.Perry remixes.
