First time at this kebab shop in Tauranga – instantly fell in love! The moment you walk in, the cool interior catches your eye: modern, clean, and super welcoming. It’s Halal-certified, which is a big plus. The staff are genuinely friendly, and we were served by the owner himself – what a legend! So warm, hospitable, and passionate about his food. He made us feel like old friends. We ordered the Mixed Kebab on Salad: the meat was insanely juicy and perfectly seasoned, the sauces were spot-on, and everything was super fresh. Hands-down one of the best kebabs I’ve ever had. And the homemade baklava for dessert? Unreal. The owner makes it himself – crispy, syrupy, not too sweet… absolute perfection. If you’re in Tauranga, you HAVE to try this place. We’ll be back every time we visit, guaranteed. Highly recommend!

Loved the setting of this place. It's like a well lit cave. Only 4 stars, as unfortunately and disappointingly, that unique Turkish flavor just isn't there but is still nice a nice meal. The water is not chilled as the machine is not plugged in. The food is beautifully presented, and the service is impeccable. Very clean.

Always the best food. Fresh meat. Chips are good. I often order through Ubereats and the box is overflowing. Very generous serving, good staff when going in too.

I ordered via Uber eat pick up and can’t believe chicken on chips is less then 4 dollars and portion was too huge and chicken pieces was very big and nicely marinated and cooked properly…and taste was amazing.highly recommended
