We used to live on Jackson Street, and would regularly dine here, it is easily some of the best Turkish in Wellington. Since we have moved cities we’ve made it a tradition to ensure we always grab a meal here every visit, it’s that good. The staff are so lovely, and the food is epic. If you’re in town, and craving Turkish, this is the place.

We just passed the cafe and was intrigue about Turkish cousine. Did not dissappoint. The place is cozy and quiet. Definitely the food tastes good and has big portions. NO gamey taste for the lamb👍🏻

I've been to a lot of kebab places around Lower Hutt, and this place beats them all. Great price kebabs, generous portions, and they are juicy without getting soggy. The meat was grilled well, with good sized pieces and lots of crispy bits, and the kebab was wrapped so that you don't have to fight the tinfoil away before you can eat it. I also had the baklava, which at $8 is on the pricier side, but it was a good portion with plenty of syrup nuts and crunchy pastry. Today was my 3rd time here, and it will be my go-to kebab shop from now on.
