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!

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

If you want authentic Turkish food, fresh prepared, friendly service and a great price this is the place. The owner clearly takes pride in his food.

I noticed that most places in central shopping area are closed from coffee shops to restaurants no later than 5-6pm!. Other than the food court at the end of tutenekai street which is called "eat street", I was looking for places that opened late besides McDonald's. This place near my hotel is called "Turkish Eatery," this place focuses on Turkish dishes and it's menu also consists of burgers and combos. My favorite have consistently been the Iskender Combo. Pick your meat, either chicken or lamb and it comes with Some kind of Jasmine rice brushed with butter (its so good!), also comes with veggies like lettuce, red/white cabbage, and carrots all topped with 2 sauces of your choosing mayo/aioli/tomato/garlic, etc. oh and that's not all, the meal comes with Chips (aka French fries) and a canned drink of your choice. With just the combo and without eating the fries, it's a healthy choice and keeps you full. You actually don't need to eat the fries (chips) lol. The owner was very friendly, the place is clean, consisted of only just 5 tables and walls decorated with A map of the world, people who are here get to plant a pin on the map. Seeing O'ahu, Hawaii wasn't taken, guess I'll be the first and the first to add this business since I couldn't find it on Yelp. Good deal, good prices, and Turkish food at a discount for the quality and quantityserved

For $25 each (for our mains and one starter), you get very flavourful food that tastes fresh and homemade. To be honest, I find myself avoiding this style of food, as I find it's often over-garliced and "flat" (the ingredients don't really compliment each other). I was very impressed - particularly with the hummus, which lacked the three cloves of garlic I have come to expect with this not-fit-for-conversations-with-others-for-hours dip. It tasted light and freshly made. ITEMS TO TRY: - Dolma - they match the cacik (yogurt) dip very well! - Falafel Iskender - this platter is served with rice, hummus, tabouleh and salad. The falafel are some of the best I've ever had. Definitely have them with the chilli and minted yogurt sauce. - Ispank Borek - filo pastry with spinach and feta, rice, yogurt dip and salad. While I thought it was a bit overly spinachy... my dining partner seemed to appreciate this aspect. So if you are a fan of spinach... try this one! The only thing that could be improved here is the interaction the servers have with the customers. While our server was prompt and helpful, he did seem a tad annoyed by our questions (for instance, when we asked about the contents of one of the dips, he just pointed at an explanation elsewhere that we hadn't noticed). Perhaps he was just having an off day though :) Overall - I was very pleased with the food and look forward to trying some of their other meat-based items. (But must stress that they did a great job on their veg items - so definitely vegetarian friendly!)

It…read moreserves a variety of Turkish and Mediterranean dishes and has a great little atmosphere (moreso in the evening). There are lovely stained glass lamp fixtures to give a little character to the otherwise fairly modern and clean black furniture. Now, I used to rank this as my second favorite Turkish place in town, but in recent visits, I think it may have traded places with my past favorite and top my list. My slight reservation in saying that is that I haven't had amazing food EVERY time (once got a Turkish ravioli that was so sub-par I left half of it) but the staples of this menu have been great each time (for example, the chicken shish). There is both indoor and outdoor seating, though honestly, I haven't eaten outdoors here. One thing to remember: keep your receipt if you parked in the Centre Place garage. You can get your parking ticket validated inside Centre Place for discounted parking if you spend more than $10.
