FATIMAS Takapuna — Restaurant in Devonport-Takapuna

Have been purchasing from Fatimas Takapuna since it first opened. Unfortunately is seems to have lost its mojo . Last order the Fatimas Favourite Pitas had aioli/sweet chilli sauce liquid leaking badly out the bottom, everywhere turning the total bottom half of the pita into a mushy mess making it impossible to eat as a takeaway . This Pita has a lot going on so the elements need to be managed . Yes , a little leakage can happen but not a flood like this . Another review said their Fatimas Favourite had too little liquid . This points to staff and or management not knowing what they are doing . Have had lots and lots of this Pita over the years from Takapuna so know how it should be made . Order before that was seriously too long in the press. The brilliant colombian brothers who staffed the place years ago would be appalled at the current stuff being churned out as above . Fatimas is a great brand but in an age where there is lots of choice the brand needs to consistently deliver on the promise or the reality is the...

Kia Ora - Don't be fooled by my 5 star review!

This is my experience of Covid world Fatimas.

As a man that seems to live on potato i was quite confused on the journey my sauce had been through as the kofta in question wasn't a rock solid as you would expect. Still...

I ordered a falafel "chawarma" kebab thinking it would be a shawarma kebab. It cost about $17 and was slow to come out. When I got it, it was basically a pita pocket, about half the size of a normal shawarma kebab. I complained to the staff, who just said they could put the same filling in a shawarma roll, missing the point that it was half the amount I'd expect for that price and not actually what they're selling it as. It tasted good, but it was ridiculously overpriced and mislabeled. A normal shawarma kebab is twice as big as the pita pocket they gave me when I ordered the "chawarma". I Googled "chawarma", and it basically said 'Do you mean 'shawarma'?' so I think that basically confirms that they've mislabeled it - it should have been sold as a...
