Reviews of Little Turkish Cafe

D. A.

Not typically a kebab-lover, but this has to be one of the best kebab spots in CBD. Highly rate both the chicken kebab on rice & chicken salad. Deducting 1 star for the price of $16 for a salad, but I suppose it's the state of things atm with Mexicali Fresh across the road being even costlier.

This is by far my favourite Turkish place in Auckland period! Amazing food, atmosphere & service. Highly recommended x

A. M.

Kebab on the traditional bread awesome staff is chill would recommend if wanting kebab around k road area

A. M.

This place is great. I got stuck in Auckland for a couple of weeks and was staying nearby - this place caught my eye so went in to try. Food was really great, very tasty and a great price. I enjoyed it so much i went back again a few nights later! Would recommend all to try it.

M. N.

Just walked into this place on a whim. Ordered the Iskender with Lamb. I was excited when they placed the food in front of me. But the Lamb was too tough to enjoy anything at all. I assume it was over cooked and wasn't seasoned well either. By the time I was done, it was just too tough to eat.

D. O.

It was great!! Especially I could chose the sauce and it was nice!!! The bread is soft and eveything is good! If i want to have some kebob, i will visit here again :)

d. t.

Place is a Auckland institution! Too bad they don't serve shisha here anymore.

F. J.

I found it a bit expensive but the lamb kebab was good. Didn't like the Samosa though. It was very dry.

H. H.

Pretty basic wrap, it was nice but nothing special. Quick service, friendlyish staff. OK for a quick bite to eat.

D. M.

Turkish restaurant, I had pizza 👌 they have a liquor licence. If you want to experience, Karangahape road good place to start... Five stars

D. R.

Great food. Need to come back to try the other dishes. Turkish chicken pizza and a couple of Turkish delight confections to eat on the go. Fast and friendly service.

R. R. (.

So happy! Just ordered on uber eats, asked for no dairy in my kebab on rice. They sent two containers, and has separated the rice as it contained butter. They left a note saying that they added more salad just in case I couldn't eat the rice, and still sent it any way. Such consideration, I feel very comfortable going again with my dietary needs!

J. H.

Nice friendly service, fast on making the food. The kebab was fresh and divine. Would highly recommend to others I had the works kebab 🥙 mixed.

Great little place to eat especially late on any day

Yesterday i went to this lovely cafe, as i have been there many years ago when i used to go to Auckland regularly, and i loved their food their food back then, especially the freshly baked bread. It is still very nice food and excellent bread which I recommend. I forgot my phone in the taxi on my way to this place, yesterday, and was a bit stressed as i had to fly back to Wellington. The lady behind the counter was amazing! It is unfortunate that I forgot to ask for her name in the middle of my saga, which was happily resolved by the way, but I just want to thank her and thank her employer for the best quality of food, service and friendliness of staff.

D. F.

Very good food. Quick service.

J. T.

Been coming here for years. Rice dishes are sizable portions and the pizzas are great. Staff always busy but friendly.

W. S.

I love the turkish bread used for the kebabs here. The kebab have plenty of beef and it ia the small pieces cooked on the traditional style then finished on the hot plate, which make then nice and caramelised - which I personally prefer to thw alternative (thsenlong stripa of lamb or chicken). There is a good variety of places and the price is not too bad either!

M. S.

Super delicious food with super average service

M. M.

Excellent meal for a reasonable price. I'm sure everything is delicious, but I can personally recommend the kebab on chips and samosas.

C. C.

A friend and I came here late on a Sunday night when most other shops were closed. Very thankful this place was open as I was starved! I got the traditional Kebab, which after some ordering snafus was very good and a healthy portion of meat. I had two issues with service while here though. First, I believe someone at the neighboring table got my order as my friend got his plate, the gentleman at the next table got a plate, and then more people that arrived after I did started getting their plates, then the rest of the people at the next table got their plates. I didn't have to ask, the cook at the counter saw I was without my food while my friend was waiting to start his plate and got mine out to me pretty quickly. The second problem was that I ordered mine with mayo as the sauce, I didn't want anything spicy. I'll admit that maybe I didn't understand the menu, but mine came out with chili sauce in it and it was just too much for me to bear. I asked him to make it without the sauce and he did so pretty quickly. My friend said his food was still hot...but I think he was just being polite. This place also has a wood-fired pizza oven, but we didn't try that.

M. G.

If you're out late and keen for a beer and a kebab, you can't go wrong with this place. Safe, and generally friendly staff with good prices! Would recommend their kebab done with bread instead of a wrap, really excellent! Wish more kebab places in NZ did kebabs like that!

I was grabbing a Cookie Pie at Moustache Milk and Cookie Bar and asked for a quick and tasty spot nearby to grab something and I was directed here...I don't know if it was the fact that this was my first Turkish restaurant, or that I had zero expectations, but the kebab was downright delicious! So wish I had had time to go back again because this is certainly something I didn't get enough of (especially since I had to share with my kiddos!)

B. J.

Really good kebab ! But not much meat inside the bread. But still happy with the overalls taste

A. S.

I ordered Istanbul chicken kebab rice, and I must say.. this was the kebab on rice that I have ever had. Great food Little Turkey 👏🏼 You have earned another customer 👏🏼

j. j.

Had the chiefs special pizza with a chiken salad.....absolutely amazing. pizza cooked to perfection....chicken salad equally amazing combined with k rd activity created a great atmosphere.....10/10 well done..recommended..

L. T.

Excellent service and amazing food!

G. P.

I really enjoy the food I regularly buy here. BUT!... 1. 4 dead lamps on the stairs to upstairs. With the wood "strips" used on the stairs themselves, this really is dangerous. 2. In the upstairs toilets, NO facility for drying hands. The drier has been non-functioal FOR YEARS! 3. Frequenrly there are no paper towels for drying hands at the downstairs toilet. Is this a Turkish thing?

M. B.

Love these guys my go to when I don't want to cook and comfort food staff are lovely the family are beautiful people great family business.

J. L.

Sajjad gave the best service Most awesome kebab I've had in Auckland

J. D. G. Z.

I really love this place... Delicious food!!!

A. W.

Great food with a Turkish twist. Great flavors and wonderful combinations (salad and fries with lamb, yum!). Casual with nice staff and a good atmosphere to sit and chat whole you eat.

K. K.

After covid, we all had our challenges, theses guy will give you the standard you deserve and require in these hard time 10/10 solid food from a solid team. X

D. R. S.

Good service, strategic location in the city, best if you and walk to it. it's clean, pizza oven looked good but we tried kebabs mixed and kubide and it was good. It's a family business with father and sons, all friendly and helpful.

M. S.

Great place, had the Chef's special pizza and it was amazing, lots of flavour, not too big but very filling. Beers were cold and the service was great. Highly recommend.

A. G.

Kebabs are authentic and amazing. Tried the baklava which was super good. Only downside is the sauces cost extra.

D. J.

Best food on Krd! Anazing customer service and never a boring place to sit and eat @ 3@m 😂 Woodfire pizza 🍕 is crazy good!

A. T.

A very good kebab place. They also have pizza, and have a good collection of wine & beer. An excellent place to chill out and the best one to get food after midnight. Their baklava is great, and their dolma is very yummy. My favourite is Lamb on rice with hot chilli sauce.

S. K.

Decent and good food. Although I prefer them to use some gloves to prepare the food. Putting the falafel on the wrap with your fingers and wiping them on your pants is a big no.

E. T.

Love love love the kebabs here! The fact they're on Turkish bread not wraps make all the difference and you can go there at any time of night! Friendly staff and quick service!

L. U.

Had dina here 2nite. Very busy, full of Lions fans but service was quick & food was great. Mixed meat & rice very tasty but could have been bit less rice & a bit more meat.

B. G. G.

This is the second time i have been here for a farewell lunch with a sizeable group of work colleagues at lunch. The upstairs space works well for this, cosy and private. Excellent, charming service and reliably tasty food. Bake their own bread.

Always so yum and consistent. Generous portions, high quality ingredients.

S. K.

good service, AMAZING food. great selection of vegetarian options. the atmosphere is great, from intimate indoor seating to the outdoor kroad aesthetic. good for groups, get a shisha and a feed! delicious and pretty much a k rd icon. 👌👌👌

Good but kebabs are a bit small for the standard pricing.

V. P.

Food is good n cheap beer

P. R.

Always go here for their lamb on rice deal. Which is pretty amazing. There are other places around but I just love the way they cook their lamb. Mouth watering... yummilicious

A. M.

Ace food. Tried the skander chicken kebab, lamb shish kebab and chicken kebab on rice. The portions are good and enough for one person. This place can do with a bit of zhooshing up. The furniture and interior looked old and need to bring in new vibe.

R. B.

🤤 Amazing kebabs on rice and salad with my beer topped with great service. Cannot go wrong with this place. And it’s open till the wee hours in the morning. Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻😋😬

A. G.

Very reliable at being open late, the pizzas are good and they serve doner kebabs with bread instead of a pita wrap. Expect around 15 minutes for them to serve you just a vodka and Sprite; 40 minutes or so for any food order, busyness doesn't seem to affect this. A good place to go for late night shisha, pizza, better kebabs and drinks. The upstairs is lovely, make sure to ask if you can go up there. The appearance of the bathroom looks like a horror film though, and I'm not sure the stairs' steepness would comply with current regulations. It's nice to see people of all walks of life there, even your average middle aged couple is common. Very K'rd.

d. m.

It hasnt changed a bit since I first ate there years ago. its no 5 star joint but the food is always good to eat well made and the service is super quick considering that at 4 am the place gets slammed with punters. Better yet its bloody cheap beers for 5 bucks and a good feed for ten or 12 bucks youll do me when im crawling home to sleep hungry and cant be stuffed cooking. the staff always greet me with a smile...Krd would not be the same without these guys... F.J.K.

G. S.

These guys makes awesome kababs and wood fired pizza. Quality of food is unmatchable. Yesterday i had a wood fired chicken pizza and that was far better than any other wood fired pizza. Thats why we always love come again and sgian

M. F.

Food was good as always. It was really busy and they got meals out fast however my meal was wrong and so was a guy before me. They did however change it to be correct but then I was eating by myself while my table had finished.

Great satay chicken on rice. But the $15 I thought it was a little bit light on the meat front, mind you they are in a premium spot. Sorry was in a rush no pictures

a. d.

The food was really good, and there was really quick service. The atmosphere wasn't all there; the loud music playing off the TVs plus the hookah smell were super annoying.

J. T.

Pizza is on the smaller side but very tasty. Don't be fooled by its outward appearance, the food is good.

Love this place an the owners a legend

R. W.

l love this place the food is great, service is even better atmosphere nice. l had a takeaway chicken on rice the quality & the quantity was bang on😋 Keep up the awesome service & food guys.

T. T.

Typical fast food place, open late. Great if you're drunk and need something to eat. Pizzas a pretty tasty buy they are small, would feed one.

M. P.

Turkish curry and lamb shish kebabs are amazing!

J. B.

I love this place, always saving my night. I had a chicken and chips, it was wonderful (not hot). The staff is quite friendly!!!

Love them steak 😊

A. b. t. H.

My favourite Krd haunt pizzas are good though not as good as they were a year ago

K. J.

Fantastic service- Smile and a heartfelt appreciation for you being their guest. The baklava ! Wonderful experience : )

M. H.

The food is incredible, woodfired pizzas, the kebabs are fantastic. Uts a little pricey but the food is no doubt fantastic.

M. P.

I have visited this cafe/restaurant many many times. Their prices are exceptionally inexpensive... Service is great and the food is to die for.. Believe me

Grab an Istanbul rice it will fill you up. Egg rice chips and meat all mixed together sauce and salad yum yum. Especially late night!

A. L.

Pizza had good flavour but small for the price. Also serves decent shisha.

Cool lil place, good kebabs and pizzas. Can get quite busy on a night but definitely one of the places to try on k road after a good night on the town

A little expensive, but to be expected for a good central city kebab spot.

D. T.

Great Late night feeds and friendly staff :-) Highly recommended

Absolutely beautiful meals. We had the Lamb Shish Kebab and Mixed Platter . The lamb was perfect and so delicious. Both meals flavorsome and extremely enjoyable. We both so enjoyed our meals and our time at the little Turkish café. We will be making this a regular place to eat. The service was friendly, welcoming, flawless.

(Translated) Wood-fired pizza, good but not extraordinary. From 13nzd to 20 nzd for a fairly small size (Original) Pizza au feu de bois, bonne mais sans être extraordinaire. De 13nzd a 20 nzd pour une taille assez petite

(Translated) Delicious! We just came back to our hotel looking for a place to eat and we found the best around! Highly recommended, if I return one day to Auckland I would return to this place! It is a good alternative in this area. (Original) Delicious! We just came back to our hotel looking for a place to eat and we found the best around! Muy recomendado, si regreso algún día a Auckland regresaría a este lugar! Es una buena alternativa en esta área.

(Translated) The restaurant is close to Arabic restaurants and serves Shish (Original) مطعم قريب من المطاعم العربية ويقدم الشيشية

(Translated) Very pleasant staff and good food at a normal price (neither expensive nor cheap 😅) I would definitely come back ^^ (Original) Personnel très agréable et bonne nourriture à un prix normal (ni cher, ni pas cher 😅) Je reviendrais à coup sûr ^^

(Translated) Fast cheap and very hearty, especially the "special" kebab or other served on a plate with salad and rice (Original) Rapide pas cher et très copieux, notamment les "spécial" kebab ou autre servi en assiette avec de la salade et du riz
