Reviews of Paasha Turkish Cafe

W. S.

Such amazing food!! Really good prices and huge portions for the amount you pay. Best Turkish around

After 100 plus days of lockdown this was our first night out..Best decision ever..the place was inviting..the staff were fantastic and the food was incredible...so glad we gave this place a go... went again in the following week and once again fantastic food and service

J. C.

Delicious tasty food. Great service 👍

Went here for dinner last night. Food & service excellent. At 2045-2100 waitress asked did we want dessert. We declined but asked for coffee & Turkish delights. We were informed that the coffee machine had been turned off so no coffee available. Our party has been at this restaurant many times & coffee etc is a great way to finish the evening. At the counter paying no attempt made to sell the containers of baklava or Turkish delight. After being in lockdown for 4 months we thought our business would have been more appreciated. Restaurant closes at 9.30 so manager wanted us out.

I. &. A. P.

Lovely food, had the garlic mussel entre and seafood casserole main. Good portion size and very tasty. Wife had the fritter. Will definitely come back

Superb service and food. Excellent Turkish coffee.

J. A.

Great service, awesome menu range, extensive drinks list. Always quality food for a reasonable price.

THE best, Falafel kebabs I have ever eaten. (Had a couple from here now) ... Falafel kebabs are my thing ... my go-to fuel when out and about in Aotearoa. Paasha do the finest Falafel kebabs of anywhere I have tried thus far ... Top job guys, love em!! 💛

V. W.

$14 for large salad and $15.50 for wrap, fries and drink deal! Although this is a takeaway side which we went, we are allowed to dine in, served with water and plates! Lastly, the kids were treated to the turkish sweets free of charge just before we leave. Friendly staff and good atmosphere! Highly recommended!

S. W.

This is a rating for the TAKEAWAY SIDE ONLY of Paasha. We haven't tried the restaurant yet. I got a large shish kebabe meal on rice for $16 which was enough for my dinner and lunch the next day. AMAZING. My husband had a pita kebab which was almost enormous. You get what you paid for that for sure! As for quality and flavour, they were also above our expectations. Probably one of the best kebab meals we've ever had. The meat was quality, perfectly cooked with delicious flavours. We'll be back for more, often.

R. K.

Pizza was delicious, thin and crunchy. Only a 3 star however; due to the lack of lettuce on the salmon pizza... p.s - Im not sure if they were taking the piss..

A. C.

The service is great, however the last meal I ordered was really average as I had expected much better. Bland food and lacking that Turkish attitude that I love

r. s.

Deilcous all the way through. My favourite turkish now. Must have their Shish. So full of flavour and also we asked for a side of fallafel that wasn't on menu. Gave us generous portion and extra zuchini fritter that was amazing. Had Sweet Mezze at the end. And still had some turkish delight for home snack too. Yumm yummm. Happy belly and great atmosphere.

L. N.

Repeat customers. Have eaten both the wraps and the salads and never had a bad meal. Value for money and extremely tasty and flavoursome.

I. J.

Very tasty food and huge portions. Cafe was very clean and welcoming. Friendly staffs too. Highly recommend others to try it out.

T. R.

Had an awesome time here last week. I like basic food and was not that keen but huge surprise for me I really enjoyed it. Table of 6, great service and great food. Will definitely be returning soon. Try the Lamb it's awesome.

E. M.

Very friendly service. Jam was awesome, polite and looked after us well. She gave the same attention to others. Her and her colleague were very courteous. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere very relaxing. We will go there again as well as promote to our colleagues, families, and friends.

E. E.

Absolutely delicious food, lovely staff, great ambiance and aesthetic! 10/10 would recommend :) I had chicken pesto pizza, one of the best pizzas of my life! Friends got the chicken salad, prawn casserole and lamb shank. All were amazing!

R. M.

Friendly and helpfull service. And the best Donair Kebab in town! 🌯💪 EDIT - went back the day after since it was so good. It was even better the second time!

Lovely meals ,great service ,friendly staff And enjoyed the background music and decore

Kebabs are not bad but the chips are possibly the worst I have ever seen. One can only imagine how dirty the oil is that these disgusting chips were cooked in. Still I like the pizza is nice and crispy, hence 4 stars and not 1 which is what the chips deserve.

The wood fire pizza was absolutely fantastic! The staff were wonderful and the price was so reasonable. 10/10 will definitely be back

Great food. Where else can one get a gourmet lunch pizza for ten bucks? Friendly service as well. I wrote that a few years ago. On 16 January 2019, I returned with my wife. It's just as good as I had remembered, although the small lunch pizza has risen in price from ten dollars to twelve, and now appears on the take-away menu. No matter. We shared a large pizza for twenty-two dollars, more than ample for lunch. Delicious! Real pizza, Mediterranean food at its best. This time, we had coffee - my wife had a long black, and I drank a Turkish coffee that was simply divine, as good as anything you would find anywhere in the Med. It keeps my five-star rating, and now that my wife has also discovered it, we'll be back. Go there... Today 6 June 2020, it's time for an update. We think of pizza as an Italian dish, but in reality it is common to the whole Mediterranean and the middle East, and evolved from the blending of cultures across much of Asia. Today we tried a Turkish pizza. Marvellous! Check out the photos and description I have added. And do go to Paasha. It is superb. 12 August 2021. Update. The coffee they offer is very, very good. I have loved Turkish coffee all of my adult life, cherishing the rare occasions when I have been able to partake. So now, whenever we go to Paasha for lunch, I finish lunch with a coffee. And, with each Turkish coffee they serve, there's a complimentary Turkish Delight. I paused the first time, because my early memories of Turkish Delight were similar to my early pizza experiences. I had cordially disliked the stuff. But luckily, I remembered the pizza epiphany I had in Rome in 2005, in the little trattoria close to the Spanish Steps. Perhaps the confectioner's offerings of my childhood had, like fake pizza, been failed forgeries of the real thing I'm a Kiwi. I had a go. Oh, baby, was I rewarded! Now at last I saw why the first Westerners to taste this Turkish dessert masterpiece named it a Delight. My word, it's good. P.S. We usually each have a piece of chocolate-covered ginger after dinner. There's a severe supply shortage of chocolate ginger right now, so when Connie went to the bathroom after lunch at Paasha's, I bought a surprise treat as I paid the bill. 😋

S. G.

Great kebabs and pizza but in my opinion best dish is the prawn mezze. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Met a friend for lunch & we both enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend the garlic prawns. If u are in pukekohe it's worth stopping for either lunch or dinner. The baklava and turkish delight are in little containers at the counter, I was just too full to eat anymore.

D. B.

It was absolutely beautiful and tasty I will be back on Saturday to get dinner. 😋

Z. A.

Food was amazing and so was the service. However, I would recommend to confirm with the serving staff about the taste of a dish which you are not familiar off. It could be milder or sweeter than you would have thought off. Will still give a 5 start as I couldn't find any flaws in food or taste.

Excellent food, great service.

Alway tasty and reliable. Great pizza

R. B.

Mixed Donner fantastic, great Turkish salad. Warm outside, Mustafa put up wind breaks, excellent.

Delicious pizza! Loved the flavours! Only thing that I was disappointed with was the amount of calamari you get there wasn’t much of it on the plate. But the pizza was definitely something I recommend!

M. P.

Fantastic food and service even on a night when they were fully booked. Fast becoming our favourite place to eat.

J. D. T.

First experience dining there and I must say me and the hubby thoroughly njoyed it, the atmosphere was lovely, the waitress that served us was lovely, staff were welcoming, the meals were yummy and fresh, the portions were huge, I would defrecommend that place 100% def guna go back again 😁

J. M.

Great food and service. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice meal in a nice setting.

D. M.

We had great food and excellent service by a young lady called Olivia. Definitely going back for more date nights.

j. p.

Solid munch could do with more seasoning and a lil less rice but other than that enjoyed our meal, customer service was welcoming and friendly, I'll be eating there more often 🤜🏼🤛🏼

This is my favourite restaurant in town, I always have trouble in picking which dish to have. Have tried several of them over the years, and still have yet to find one that I did not really enjoy. Their takeaway pizza and kebab side is also very good too. Staff are very friendly and patient whilst you decide what to enjoy. Young children are welcome too, they even provided a highchair for one of our youngest diners on an occasion too. Have been here many times since my original review, the quality of the foods remains the same. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the level of service. We were a group of 6 that dined here recently, we had only just arrived and our waitress gave us the menu, within just a few minutes she returned wanting us to place our order, normally you are asked if you want to order drinks while deciding. We then had to ask her again to give us more to to decide on our choices. Not once did she come back to ask us if our meals were OK or did we require additional drinks or even water for the table. After our meal and the plates were cleared away, we were not asked if we wish to see the dessert menu. We were talking when the bill appeared on the table, after a few minutes she returned and told us that they were closing in 10 minutes. My son had to ask for a glass of water while the bill was being paid. The waitress attitude and level of service spoiled a great fun evening. According to their advertised opening hours they close at 23.00Hrs, this was just after 22.00Hrs.

L. H.

It was a busy Friday night and there was a large and loud birthday party at the next table when we arrived, but the service was still brisk and polite, the wait for our meals relatively short and the food itself was hot and of excellent quality / quantity and very reasonably priced. A thoroughly enjoyable experience that is only a short drive in the country from home. We will definitely be back!

N. M.

Pretty good food. Chops are awesome. Iskander not even close to the one in Istanbul. But overall pretty tasty bbq. Will go again.

B. M.

Food was great Average service time but totally worth it Love the Turkish delights they sell there totally would recommend 5/5 star Great for family meals and pizza 🍕

T. A.

Absolutely beautiful food. First time going into the Restaurant part, staff are great and very helpful. Great value for money, we will definitely e going back

D. L.

This is an excellent place for a special meal out . The food is awesome and if anything overly generous. But they will happily pack what you can't manage to eat and you can take it home to enjoy again. Great atmosphere and decor. Whenever we have visitors we take them here.... it never fails to please .

Great food. Busy restaurant with takeaways as well but was worth the wait. Thanks

o. o.

I have been many restaurants but this is best restaurant very nice meal s friendly Staff. If you go to pokekohe don't miss this lovely turkish mixed shish kebab and breads .afet

V. A.

Good restaurant on the one side and take away on the other side of the premises. Offers wood fired pizza. The pita and kebabs are nice. I really prefer kebabs in Australia but, this place and a place in matamata do OK.

J. P.

The meals were very very yummy and nicely presented. The service was nothing to brag about, despite it being very quiet it took a while for our waitress to bring us menus and then the meals did not come out at the same time- and nothing was said about that- in the end my dinner companions started eating without me since we didn't know how long I would be waiting.

Amazing food and services, free soft drinks served to us with a hummus starter.. also the owner was very kind and interactive made our experience memorable... but not to forget large wood fire pizza free of cost was handed over to us when we were done with our lunch... a treat for the kids ... we thank the management for making our visit memorable...

J. C.

We went here for my daughters 11th birthday and oh my goodness the food was outstanding. The service was amazing, the whole experience was just beautiful. Thank you for the most wonderful evening. Tummys full of deliciousness yum yum and more yum.

J. S.

Delicious food. Generous portions. Lovely service. Oh and the decor is awesome

S. J.

Love pasha. Its my go to place for a take away. Pitty they've put their prices up. Depending on who's cooking, the chip bag use to be very generous and full, now its seems smaller and not so full yet they price went up. Otherwise delicious meal and always a busy place.

R. B.

Great food very friendly service.. we will be back again to try your pizza next time

D. A.

This place is absolutely fantastic! I love everything about it! From the staff and service to the food and shisha, it is just amazing! I try a new dish everytime, and I am always surprised by how good each plate is. It a great place for the family, or just casual dining. The staff are very attentive, and will be at your table before you manage to raise your hand. It is my favorite turkish restaurant in New Zealand. I only wish they had longer opening hours.

V. S.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly. Lovely place

S. L.

Had a bit of a wait for lunch and the meal itself was very salty. Reminded me of sea water. Hubby and daughters meals were fantastic. Staff super friendly and good with kids. Nice environment and good value for money

A. K.

Food was amazing, staff were friendly. Give this place a try worth your money

H. N.

We quite often go here with about 6 adults. We can order pizza's and water and the cheapest meal was about $60 so a good restaurant meal at $10 a head. Other times we added wine, cupachino and extra side or mains dishes at $20 per person. Nice atmosphere and great wood fire pizza that tastes much better than dominos or pizzahut. My only complaint is it can be a bit noisey inside sometimes.

Went there tonight with the family to celebrate my birthday and had a wonderful time. The place itself was beautifully decorated, the waitress who served us was very friendly and the food was very good. Would definitely go back here for special occasions :)

K. R.

Great gem to be found in Pukekohe. Food is wonderful. They just need to turn the temp up a little in the winter, or generally make it feel a little cosier. A regular stop for me.

Come back soon Mustafa - the restaurant needs you. Service and food were not up to your usual very high standard. As our visit was a special occasion, we were disappointed.

Amazing kebabs. Best in Pukekohe by far, can't believe we had been driving past this gem all this time and not giving it a go!

O. K.

Quite long waiting times for walk in takeaways, the food was average but the portion size was good. Gutted I didn't meet the salsa King Mustafa 😕

Used to be amazing but the last few times i have been i was not as impressed. I guess its hard to keep the standards so high or maybe i just have been to many times and no long get wowed any more.

Allways great food. Turkish coffee best in Pukekohe. Pizzas very nice but i feel a tad on the expensive side.

Delicious Food. Would definitely go there again.

I ordered a lamb on rice meal. Loved everything other then the lamb. The meat is very different ive never had meat like it before. Portion size however for the meal is definately awesome
