Reviews of Constantinople Café & Restaurant
S.
This was our first time to Constantinople restaurant and we will definitely be back. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. The food was so good we ordered too much and couldn't fit in the baklava so got it to takeaway instead. I highly recommend going here to support them and enjoy some fantastic authentic Turkish food. YUMMY!!!!
R.
Such a cool little place. Feels very authentic and you can see your food being prepared. There's a covered deck area which can hold large groups or yiu can sit inside if you want somewhere quieter.
Food was superb and I give the yoghurt cheesecake the big thumbs up!
N.
I went to Turkey a few months ago and I love the food. We decided to come here for Valentine's day dinner. The food was yummy! We sat on the patio and it was lovely. Recommended.
C.
Fantastic restaurant! Warm and friendly service. Amazing chefs( chefs Feriza and Meral). Delicious and super fresh and healthy meals. Vegan options available. Beautifully designed and decorated. Don't miss out. :)
S.
Beautiful lunch. Eating the wonderful food here took me back to my visit to Turkey years ago!! Every dish was perfect, even the Tabouleh was made correctly with the small couscous/buckwheat & the Turkish Apple Tea just as I remember.
Thankyou to the lovely waitress we had today and compliments to the chef. Thankyou we will be back to try dinner next!!
S.
Absolutely loved this place. I had slow cooked Turkish home style lamb and it was the most tasty Turkish dish I ever had. The owner and the team was super helpful.
N.
A lovely restaurant! Good food and good service! I like its environment very much!
G.
Went here with my partner because we wanted to try something different. To be honest I'm not familiar with Turkish food, but we both liked what we had. Restaurant was clean and the staffs were friendly. Overall a good experience.
R.
FIVE ENTHUSIASTIC STARS! Start to finish, this place gets it right. Flawlessly prepared, homemade, authentic Turkish cuisine has never tasted this delicious. Just as the name suggests, it’s like taking a trip across the globe straight to the heart of Constantinople — gorgeous, artfully crafted food complete with the freshest flavors and ingredients. They spare no detail to make the atmosphere as authentic as possible, too — even the plates, glassware, and flatware seemed to come straight from Turkey. Family run with a pleasant vibe and stylish atmosphere. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by the owner himself, who also serves you personally throughout your meal. His table service was attentive without being overbearing. You can tell he is genuinely invested in the satisfaction of his patrons. I really enjoyed the open layout of the kitchen — it lends a grassroots honesty to the whole place when you can see straight in and even say hello to the lovely people preparing the homemade food (no doubt from recipes passed down through generations). Beautiful wines and loose-leaf teas on offer to accompany the traditional Turkish menu. Try the Four Cheeses pizza — it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Overall, Constantinople is a total win. I will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
l.
Wow, what a lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and friendly prompt service. If you are a foody, you will love this place.

Went here for lunch with my family. This was our first time eating Turkish food so we weren't sure what to expect but everything was so amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff so friendly. The food, was presented so well and the flavors were delicious. Nothing too overpowering, and everything was fresh. We got some desserts to take home to enjoy a little later and they were also fantastic. We were all pleased with the entire experience and will be looking forward to eating here again.
J.

Friendly staff, tasty food with good size portions and beautiful atmosphere, what else do you need from a restaurant!
We orderd the food in adance, so by the time we arrived, we've got served right away. The food was delicious and service was fast. I ordered creamy prawn pasta and it was a good choice.
K.
We had our Xmas party here. Food excellent and varied. Calamari one of the best I have had anywhere. Service very good. Ambience.. very good. Being able to sit outside under covers was very pleasant.

This is seriously my favourite restaurant ever, I make a point of going there at least once a month with my partner. The food is out of this world, really authentic and delicious. The service is always super warm and friendly, it feels like home every single time. I cannot stress enough how much you need to dine here. The biggest hidden gem of Auckland.
А.

M.
WOW!!! This is a hidden gem on a residential street in a small block of shops and what a find!! You won't be disappointed! This cafe/restaurant came highly recommended by a friend so we made the trip from East Auckland to Albany and it was soooooo worth it. The service was superb, the food was delicious and a nice atmosphere also. The Octopus taste just took me right back to Mykonos, the calamari was tender and divine, great hummus, salads, skewers, pasta and beef cheeks on a pumpkin puree that was melt in your mouth. We will visit again and again.
S.
Very nice place to eat. Good hosts. Great food. Nice outdoor area.
L.

Food+Dessert+Service❤
E.
Loved our dinner date at Constantinople Restaurant. The staff were so friendly providing excellent service. And the food was beautifully presented and delicious
C.
Every Saturday morning after Music class, my 4yo and I come and have chocolate baklava and apple tea. It's our tradition. There is so much warmth and kindness from the owners and we appreciate it every week. The food is incredible and reminds me of being in Turkey.
m.
The owner(gentleman) was really grumpy. It seemed he was not happy to see the customers😁 food was really good though
E.
Food was fantastic! (Constantinople Feast, pulled Lamb, Yoghurt Cheesecake). Prices reasonable, host friendly but not intrusive. Parking a little confusing & surprised to see no "special" coffees on the menu, but other than those very minor things, was a very enjoyable experience & would definitely go again!
H.
Discovered this place today close to home and wow was so blown away. A beautiful, inviting setting with a great indoor and outdoor (covered) flow, the service was extremely warm and welcoming and the food was outstanding- taste, presentation and a perfect size. Will be returning soon for sure. Their Turkish sweets and healthy treats also look divine. 11/10 highly recommend
F.
Great staff and delicious food. Just go and enjoy.
R.
Great atmosphere, excellent food. Beef Cheek was superb.
g.
Excellent discovery! An oasis of calm tucked away. Lovely place to sit and the food was excellent
C.
What a lovely hidden gem! Tucked away from the busy Albany Village this place has the best fresh food and service.
Everything is made from scratch here including their own turkish delights with the best ingredients.
Can't believe that I had homemade fresh potatoes fries!
The only thing is missing is their advertising because God bless them they are divine.
L.
a really good local place, you can tell with every bite that the food was made with love and care. sure it takes a little longer than other places for the food to come out but the wait is worth it. their baklava is also to die for, i always grab like 5-6 every time i go there. will be going back for that spaghetti bolognese soon!
J.
Excellent place with lovely ambience. Good and friendly staff
G.
Wow! Best desert I've had in years. Spectacular cheesecake. I don't know what else to say but "You've gotta try it". Good people too - you can tell they really put love into what they do. Great job!
E.
Awesome vegan options, fantastic food
T.
Absolute treat. We have both travelled to Turkey and Greece; and the quality plus presentation took us right back to wonderful times. Really tasty and filling. Don't tell the owner he could easily charge much more for his food. We have certainly eaten at other local places which serve only standard food or plain pub grub but prices through the roof. Put it on your must go list.
A.
What a wonderful find! My family and I have made this fabulous restaurant our new regular spot. We have been there for both lunch and dinner, quick coffees , cool afternoon drinks with nibbles and every time its a winner. The food is always really good, the place has a relaxed, low key vibe which is really nice and the service is always good. I highly recommend it!
j.
I like the location very much. Quite. Nice place, people very friendly.
R.
What a wonderful gem to find. A family run restaurant where you can feel the care and pride they put into their food. Friendly and warm people. They have a separate vegan menu with some amazing choices, with great flavours. Vegan baklava...what a treat!
R.
I've had such a great experience hear at this Turkish Restaurant the food is five star apsolutly delishious we have had pizza and wraps here and the service is great such nice people my family and i will continue to come here it's a favorite in our home god bless keep up the awesome food
N.
A great little find!
Food is always fantastic; everything here is made from scratch and always cooked perfectly. I love the atmosphere and warm service. Thank you so much :)
M.
Great local for yummy flavours. Big hit with the little ones as well who don't order off the kids menu but go straight for the Constantinople feast and pomegranate iced tea and their baklava dessert to round things off
N.
They use quality ingredients. Food is a bit pricey but really worth it! Love the ambience too!
T.
Brilliant restaurant and food is really lovely. We have been there a few times and will continue to go back. Staff are lovely too. Well worth an evening out.
Z.
Fantastic. Great food, service and ambiance. Had the beef cheeks. Delicious. Can't wait to go back there.
S.
Great spot for a delicious and authentic Turkish meal. We were pleasantly surprised by this place, the prices are reasonable and the food is tasty and prepared with care. The service was prompt and friendly and the menu had a good range of options, without being overwhelming. Would definitely recommend for a quiet night out.
B.
Went with friends for the first time on Saturday and had a most enjoyable night. Run by a lovely family who obviously take pride in what they do, the service was warm and efficient and the meals really good, especially the slow cook Turkish menu where the terrific Beef cheek left the Ankaya Lamb for dead IMO. The ony reason it doesnt get five stars is the small and prosaic wine list - although the prices are very reasonable it screams out for a Montelpuciano, a Tempranillo and a Rose from Provence for those whose taste goes beyond the Ned. Or better still, allow BYO. Otherwise, looking forward to the next visit.
H.
Love this place so, so much! The food is amazing every time, the people so welcoming and the atmosphere great. They also do the best baklava!!
R.
Lovely atmosphere, great food.
A.
We have visited Constantinople five times already. And we hope to be able to go back MANY more times in the future, because we LOVE the place.
The setting is casual and relaxed, the atmosphere is good, and the staff are wonderfully friendly.
Drinks are good, with a small but very well balanced beer and wine selection.
And the food is simply DIVINE! We are slowly working our way through the menu and have loved (almost) every single dish.
From the entrees, the ceviche (no longer on the menu) was disappointing, but the sigara borek, humus, and calamari were all great - and the taramasalata superb!
All the deserts are good too - great Turkish coffee, Turkish delight, and excellent baklava.
However, the slow-cooked meat mains are for us the BEST. The Orpheus chicken, beef cheek, lamb shank were all wonderful, but the Antakya lamb is our absolute favourite.
This is a must-visit place that we hope will be around for a long time to come!
L.
Booked online for 4 people. Lovely atmosphere, quick and friendly service and food is to die for. We'll be coming back that's for sure! 👌
S.
Absolutely love their house made deserts (and I mean all of them). Their falafel wrap was the best I've ever had
A.
Fantastic service except we believe they got our white wines mixed up. Food is really good and they have a vegan menu with some gluten free options. Definitely worth a visit and we'll be back.
J.
Really impressive. Home cooking at it's best. Great variety of desserts. Excellent quality. Justifies the above average price. Great service. Nice atmosphere.

The food in this place is super good. The menu is different enough and it has a real authentic South East Europe / Turkish taste. The meat has a fantastic dash of char to it. Youll feel damn great after eating here. Portions are a little on the small side, but grab some dessert and you'll be golden.
