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!

The cabinet salads looked a bit sad & depleted, and the dishes on offer weren't cheap! (See photo) Ordered 2 falafel doners from the lady behind the counter who didn't seem too happy to see us - you'd think she'd be falling over herself that she had customers! I watched her making the kebab & she was very stingy with the falafel - we would have been lucky if we got 1, maybe 2 broken up falafels each. So that's why this place ain't busy - $10 for a piece of bread filled with mostly cabbage salad & a few bits of chickpeas. The falafel was average & we had to eat around big slices of raw onion - yuck. And she forgot one of my sauces. Will not be returning. See ya soon, Pita Pit!!! UPDATE: the next morning we both had dodgy tummies - ewwww! AVOID.

They were not the usual pizza topping, we tried the Meat Mix and Butter Chicken with Italian Garlic Bread as side. We were not disappointed with any of our choices, the pizza bases were nice and light and the toppings were a decent size that you can actually tasting the ingredient you were eating. The premises and cooking equipment looked spotless and very clean. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. They had a mixture of meals options available too, and a couple of promos running too. We are going back again to try different pizza's, and they also serve kebab's as well, if they are as good as the pizzas, then the competition should worry.

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 !!

I like my kebabs, so I venture to new places all the time, to check out what's on offer. And this place really offers a lot! Not only do they do kebabs but they also do a type of pizza which was interesting. I hadn't really come across that before. On top of that they are flexible with your orders, and are also very accommodating to vegetarians which is always nice. The flavours are really there too, which makes me think they use quality ingredients and probably as fresh as possible. They do table service and are prompt with cleaning up which is nice too.

I thought I'd try out my local kebab shop, and I'm glad I did: far from bring the usual mystery meat dodgy joint, this one has a good range of Turkish/"Middle Eastern" food, including pizza, iskenders, and salads. I had a vegetarian moussaka and I was super pleased to see that it had a number of recognisable vegetables in it, and tasted like someone had cooked it recently, and it wasn't just taken from the freezer and reheated in the microwave. I also got a decently sized and equally fresh salad with it too. I shall return!
