It wasn't until last year that I actually found out the answer to my question. YES. The food from this weird van in the middle of the Video Ezy carpark is delicious. Like most kebab stops, Delicious Turkish Style Foods offers lamb, beef, chicken and falafel kebabs, as well as rice dishes, salads, burgers and an array of sides including chips and Turkish garlic bread. Unlike most kebab stores however, this van also has pieces of fish, onion rings, and milkshakes available. All the food prepared in the Delicious Turkish Style Foods van is Halal and all the salads always look fresh, crisp and delicious. If you're in the mood for something Turkish, stop by the little icon of a van in Mt Albert and try some food from Delicious Turkish Style Foods, you won't be disappointed!

I have this preconception, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one, that any food sold out of a…read morecaravan is inevitably greasy, stodgy, and riddled with diarrhoea-inducing germs. I don't know why I have this idea - probably from British television, where everything sold out of a cart is grey and comes with peas. It's not fair though, because in real life my experiences have all been positive. White Lady is fine if a little overpriced, and this place is actually pretty good. If you ignore the fact that it's a caravan this could be any Turkish takeaway, and it'd be quite a bit better than a few I've tried. And once you accept that the food isn't full of botulism the fact that it is a caravan gives the place a certain roguish charm. I haven't tried their burgers (call me a traditionalist) but you can't go past a kebab and chips on your way home from the video shop.

We gave it a try, as it seemed pretty popular here. All the tables were pretty much occupied. The tables were small and wooden with little stools to sit on. I ordered the Burnout ($12.70): This consisted of a char-grilled chicken breast with bacon, lettuce, avocado, mustard, aioli sauce, and a stilton sauce. The breast was kinda thin, but the bun was pretty huge. It was a soft sesame seed bun that actually held up quite well. It did get kind of messy halfway through eating it, but we were told by one of the workers about how this little cardboarthing called the Doofer. This doofer was an intuitive piece of cardboard that you fold up, and it cradles your burger. Pretty cool, as it totally helped out. No issues with service. The girl behind the counter was humorous and cordial. She was even the one that explained how a doofer is used. Would I come back? Yes, probably just to try a different burger. But the next time I've got that "burger craving", I probably won't be thinking about this place in particular.

This chilli lime dressing should be a pantry staple , it just gave everything a extra zing ! The tostada ( $10 )is a cold flat salad / crunchy almost taco like item it was good , but not as good as the prawn taco .

The first time I visited this little 'out of the way' café, I looked at it and wondered 'what was…read moremy friend thinking!?'(she suggested this eatery). It sits politely between a few shops in Ellerslie-ish, Auckland. It's not a handsome place, but it will surprise you. It sure did surprise me! After greeting my friend who sat alfresco awaiting my arrival, we joined what in a few minutes became a longer and impatient line of local professionals, each wanting to wolf down some of the fine food from this establishment. I have to say, this was a little strange. I observed the people joining the queue that eventually ended at the friendly female face at the counter. Nicely dressed professionals and such, entering a place that remained less than handsome on the inside as well. Hmm? My friend ordered and I swiftly followed, impressed by the calm demeanour of the woman that served us. She wasn't daunted by the growing queue. We returned to our table just outside the café. In roughly 15 mins, my friend received her order. Maybe another 5-10 mins, and my order arrived... Now, I won't go into details at this stage about the type of food we ordered and ate, but I will say, "Do not deprive yourselves of enjoying a meal at this little gem of a café". The food was fabulous! So good! So tasty! To say the café lacked any real style is no put down. You wouldn't want it here. You want good, honest, tasty food. This is what I got, and I have since returned for more. I'm surprised to read about the poor service had by others. That was NOT my experience. The service was and has since been attentive, and cheerful.

I've been here a few times recently when I've been over on the shore and I'm impressed with the fit-out of this particular Burger Fuel and the friendliness of the staff. The last time we went our order did take quite a while to come out, but then it was super fresh and hot (I burnt my tongue on a fry, trying to eat too fast!!). My favourite burger is the bacon backfire and the fries are crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and delicious dipped in their creamy aioli. If you're after a filling burger this is a great option.

My friends and I were in town visiting and had seen The White Lady on YouTube and social media with…read morepeople regarding it as an institution. The White Lady is a food truck serving a variety of burgers and sandwiches, as well as chips. There is no seating, so they offer take away only. I was a little uncomfortable, as there was a group of homeless people sitting and laying down right next to the food truck. Because of this, I just wanted to grab my food and go. The food took about 15 mins to finish and we were out of there. They did have tomato sauce, as well as garlic aoli sauce, free to take as much as you want. I ordered the White Lady, which is one of their signature burgers. It had a beef patties, Scotch steak, Colby cheese, bacon, fried egg, grilled pineapple, fried onions, lettuce, and tomato. It sounded like a ton of ingredients, but I figured I had to try their namesake burger. I had taken my food back to my hotel, which was only about a 10-15 minute walk back. Understandably, the burger was a bit soggy. That wasn't the worst part though. My main gripe with this burger though, was the Scotch steak. It was probably my fault for not entirely knowing what a Scotch steak was. The steak was chewy and I was NOT able to bite it off each time I took a bite of the burger. After a couple bites struggling to separate the steak from the rest of the burger, I ended up just taking the steak out and eating it with a fork and knife. I cannot understand why you would put something on a burger if it cannot be bitten off solely with your teeth. It goes against the point of having something handheld. On top of that, the steak was very bland. The burger patties itself was okay, nothing amazing. I come from the United States, the home of fatty foods and the best burgers, so maybe I just have high standards. For me, this place was a one and done just to see what the hype was about.

Shortly after placing my order, I turned to grab a seat and the line was OUT OF THE DOOR with zombies, corpses (dead zombies), vamps, and other various characters. The dead get hungry too, I suppose. As this was my first visit, I decided to order the largest burger on the menu (the Bastard) as a Low Carborator, which is nice because bread tends to get in my way when I eat. The Bastard is a grass-fed beef patty with cheese, avocado, mango, and beetroot, and the Low Carborator version nixes the bun for a lettuce wrap. Whilst this makes for a tad bit of messy eating, they include special boxes so that your burger patty doesn't go anywhere when you bite into it. So juicy. Soooo tender. Almost made me wish I ate bread (struggling Paleo). I also ordered a side of kumara fries, because burgers and fries just go hand in hand. I believe these were the purple kumara fries, as opposed to the typical orange kumara you see in most restaurants. The difference, I noticed, is that the purple kumara (which turns yellow once you cook it) tends to be more substantial in taste, almost heavy tasting. All in all, tasty burger joint, but I will have to come back and try their vegetarian onslaught, which include tasty looking bits made of pumpkin, chickpeas, ginger, and other goodies.
