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!

Not to mention the lunchtime special is only $10 for a curry of your choice + rice + naan bread. They serve large portions too, which often makes it a struggle to fit it all in. But you know that feeling when you know you should stop eating, but the food is just so good? That's the feeling these curries deliver. The staff are friendly; the girl who usually takes the orders is always smiling. Not the fanciest restaurant as a dine-in option, so probably not the ideal place if you're looking to impress a first date, however the food fully makes up for it.

Called a 3rd but this time blatantly said they will not deliver and hung up. Not just incompetent but totally unprofessional who will reply on loopholes in the system to not fulfil their obligations.

This I have never done as I have always taken my meal away, however the number of times I have driven past they have always been busy. There is both street parking and parking behind the store available for customers. It is located in a rather awkward position though. They are on the main road right by the lights, so the entrance is quite hidden beside the store and a set or terrace houses. I think this place is a good quick meal option if you're in the area, however I wouldn't come out of my way to dine at this take out joint.
