Istanbul Shawarma & Wood Fired

Got the ready made vegetarian pizza for one (which I think cost NZD12.00). I needed a quick bite for lunch before my hair appointment so this was just what I was after. It came out nice and hot and I ate in. Staff member was polite. Good location. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I'd like to try the shawarma next time so looking forward to it.

The falafel shawarma was excellent, really nicely done and seasoned, on request you can get some vegan or vegetarian sauces. Unfortunately it’s quite expensive for the size of portions. Service is also bit rusty and seems to be unmotivated. You have an option to sit either inside or outside on traditional Turkish carpet style seats. Place looks and feels quite authentic and is overall nice option for Turkish food in city.

Got the chicken shawarma from here. I thought it was lovely that you can choose between pita bread or wood fired Turkish bread. I chose the wood fired bread and I really thought it was tasty and better than a regular pita. I thought that the shawarma was yummy, could have been better with a bit more chicken in it as it was quite packed with veges. Also the menu is pretty pricey. Still a very warm and welcoming shop with pretty decor and would try it again. ✨

The Turkish apple tea was alright, it was served a little too hot for me. I ordered a lamb pizza and it came in warm and nice, freshly baked too. As Muslim owners, I would suggest choosing a different kind of music, as they proudly serve halal food.

The food was nice and delicious for the most part. I did chew on a few pieces of fat which wasnt fun. Quite small portions, even when ordering the large. Atmosphere is quite grim and the tables are wobbly. They don't bring you the food or drinks yet they are just a couple of meters away and they charge quite high prices so the experience is sub-par. Average but pricey
