Reviews of Ataturk Turkish Cafe Whakatane
R.
Lovely little place. Their food is very good value for money. The staff are pretty friendly and down to earth. I had the lamb shank and this was excellently done. Even just the single shank was enough to 2 meals. Their online ordering makes the process a lot easier as they can get quite busy.
M.
Probably the best turkish cafe I have been to in NZ, I had their lunch special and it was great value with great flavor. The staff are friendly and the owner is an outstanding member of the community. Cant wait to go back when I am in town again.
B.
Where nice food and excellent service , this is Best Turkish cafe I have been in so far , thank you for looking after us
J.
Delicious every single time I have been there.
Great staff, good ambiance.
V.
Unfortunately, had to leave as not able to sit down inside after 7pm. Thanks covid. Previous experience? Great food at great prices. Excellent service and quick too. 😊
A.
I love the food here. Its so fresh and my Place of Choice for a no-fuss and Quick, healthy and Tasty Dinner. I choose the salad or the Iskender and my Pup was lucky enough to get a small plate of chicken :-)
p.
Eaten here many times. Very nice owner. Meal always nice. Good service from staff and management.
J.
This is a neat place. Great kebabs and and other Turkish food. Quick service. Open later than most and has outdoor dining too.
g.
Food was good. Service was excellent and the staff were fun. A great atmosphere but the interior is looking tired.
B.
Local kebab shop on the strand. Food is tasty and comes in all the forms you'd expect for a kebab shop: doner kebabs, pita pockets, iskender, etc, with not too much imagination. A little over-priced for what you get but this is a small-town shop. Service was polite but unenthusiastic, hot portions of food were all reheated (falafel was microwaved before being added and meat was dished up from a warming box rather than shaved direct from the rotisserie). The have specials on a blackboard outside. If the website is anything to go by they also sell all the catering equipment necessary to setup your own kebab shop :)
B.
Great Turkish food, prices a bit on the high side though, highly recommend their Turkish tea!
P.
Great food options, kebabs are amazing as always and the owner is very friendly!
R.
Since recently moving to the area I have now found our favourite place in Whakatane to dine.
Ataturk providing not only the most delicious authentic Turkish cuisine, but also been made to feel welcome each and every time we return (almost daily) by the owner and staff of Ataturk. My family and i love being able to sit outside and experience the warm whanau environment and the most amazing food in Whakatane. 5 STARS+!! 😁
J.
Very nice Turkish food and excellent icecream
B.
Healthy portion size, fast service, good food
A.
Beautiful Turkish restaurant and cafes in the hard of Whakatane ,very good service and food ,the prices are very cheap and effortanble ,
M.
Delicious food! Had a mixed rice meal, and oh man it was so good! They even serve Turkish beer which is a really nice addition. Staff were very friendly and even gave our group some free iced tea. We left very full and very happy.
K.
First time here for my husband's birthday as he heard that their lamb shanks were great. It was! One happy man 😄. Staff were wonderful and spoiled us. Lovely way to spend the afternoon. Definitely going back.
D.
Friendly, good service, limited but nice menu. Good prices.

m.
Loved it thank you great food and service
R.
Food was filling. Thank you.
C.
Absolutely beautiful restaurant, lovely atmosphere, devine food, very friendly warm owners, 100% plus review
G.
The amount and quality of chicken (dry, over cooked and processed) was not the best for the price, sadly it failed what I would call a good meal. The drinks were refreshing and very affordable yet too sweet for me, and I'm a sweet tooth addict as well!
J.
Very lovely meal and very lovely customer service 5/5
J.
Fantastic food, very well presented, super quick, brilliant service.
Happy to cut a large kebab in two for my kids, yummy chips.
Always our favourite eatery in Whakatane
B.
Amazing! restaurant quality service! We turned up a little early on a Sunday morning but knew it would be worth waiting for the shop to open as the food here has ALWAYS been exceptional, Aman was the man who served us he said they were down on staff and apologized for the wait, he was VERY polite taking our orders and we were treated with complementary cups of tea this makes all the difference! The food was absolutely worth the wait, you wont find Turkish food like this anywhere else. I ordered some cake to take away and was treated with an extra piece due to the short wait, again this makes all the difference, the kitchen and dining area is spotless (Clean) and the shop got busy very fast. Aman you are the man keep it up, will see you again this Sunday :)
M.
