Cappadocia deli Turkish — Restaurant in Waiheke

The best Turkish food and most delicious French pastries! Soooo worth stopping in Ostend for. Cappadocia is one of the best kept secrets on Waiheke Island. In the centre of Ostend, where the locals hang out, it's not an obvious stop for visitors to the island but is so worth finding. The portions are excellent and prices are really good. Almost everything is made on the premises AND many of the ingredients are locally sourced. The lemons in the lemon meringue pie and quince in the quince tarts are grown by the owners on the island. Thoroughly recommend the Halloumi Iskender (pictured) and Moussaka dish of the day. The kebabs are great too - beautifully cooked and served. Then there's desert! - the Baklava is the best, lemon meringue pie, chocolate raspberry muffins and of course Turkish Delight. We were a bit full after lunch so did take out desert. Worth going in just for the sweet treats in the afternoon. So many great choices. Went twice in one week and will go again. Very friendly owners - if they have time for a chat (busy at lunchtime) you'll find out all sorts of interesting things about the food. Cappadocia - we love you. Keep up...

Can I give 6 stars? The food is indescribably good. It feels like you've just walked into a home in Turkey - the food tastes so fresh and home made, healthy and incredibly flavourful! The healthy bowl sounds boring but has the absolute best salads I've ever had! The tastes of the different salads (not a lettuce leaf in sight ;) loved that) combined with your choice of humus and a falafel and some olives.. I wish I could have it every day. Theres also a delicious range of pastries - i tried the lemon meringue pie which was melt-in-your-mouth good! The chefs are incredible and should be highly commended. I don't think they are as busy as they deserve to be!! The signage outside could be the problem as it's underwhelming, doesn't look like it's a restaurant sign and hard to read from the road due to the colour choices. I hope they upgrade their signage as the actual restaurant is amazing and they deserve to get all the...

Fabulous Turkish food at very reasonable prices with the bonus of some delicious sweet treats including tarts and muffins, very yummy Turkish delight (rose, orange and pistachio the days we visited) and baklava. Friendly owners, prompt service, parking around the back and very popular with the locals (always a good sign). As well as sit down inside the deli/café, you can also sit out the front and bask in the sun or take away your food. If you’re on the island and want some great Turkish food available all day at affordable prices, head to Cappadocia in Ostend. It’s on the bus route with the bus stop just a few metres...
