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!

I especially loved the spicy berber sauce and garlic mayo on my lamb kebab. We visited this place a couple of times during our trip because the food was that good.

My Go-To Spot for Years - Still the Best…read more I've lost count of how many times I've eaten at Kebab Turka - and for good reason. The food is always on point: juicy, flavour-packed, and satisfying every single time. Whether it's the doner, iskender, or a simple wrap, it's never missed. What really stands out is the consistency. You know how most places slowly go downhill over time? Not here. If anything, they've only gotten better. The prices are more than fair, the servings are generous, and the flavour? Unreal. Bonus points for the sweet chilli sauce - they never hold back when I ask for extra (which is every time). The staff are always friendly, quick, and happy to make things just how you like them. I've tried Turkish food all over the country, but nothing ever hits quite like Kebab Turka. It's the gold standard in my book. If you haven't been yet, go. You're missing out. -- A loyal fan with a sweet chilli problem

No question that this is the best kebab shop in the Mount. There are three to choose from. The only…read morething about this place as opposed to the others is that they don't serve fries (chips). So if you want chips, you should head on over to Istanblue, the second-best kebab shop in the Mount. All of the guys who run the shops in the Mount are actually Turkish, so that's neat. Sadly none of them serve actual real Turkish food but that's not their fault. New Zealand has weird taste!

After hiking up Mt. Maunganui, we were looking for a place to eat. There's plenty of options in the…read morearea so we walked along the main strip and found Turkish To Go. It's right in between Bella Italia and The Coffee Club. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 1:45pm). Most people were doing takeout so we also did the same. The menu is split into iskender, vegetarian kebabs, meals $10 and under, pita pockets, meze/sides, kids menu, salads and desserts. You can customize exactly what you want in your order. Service is fast and friendly enough. - Lamb on rice ($10.00 NZD) - my dad's order. Literally just rice and lamb slices. Lamb didn't taste very lamby. He tried the tomato sauce on his. - Mixed iskender ($13.00 NZD) - came with rice, salad and choice of sauce (up to 3). Rice was really good. We tried the avocado sauce. Sadly, it didn't help the chicken or lamb; both were a bit dry and bland. The salad mix was good along with the hummus, tzatziki and red beet labneh. Good portion size too. - Falafel vegetarian kebab ($10.50 NZD) - came with salad topped with any combo of sauce wrapped in a warm pita bread. The falafel was delicious. Loved how they smashed the falafel down in the pita and toasted it up for a slight crunch. Tasty! Great spot for cheap, tasty Turkish/Lebanese food. Takeout is perfect as it's right by the beach.

The man behind the counter was super nice and friendly, which always makes food taste even better. We got the chicken kebab wrap, the lamb Iskender plate, and baklava.
