Kebab Turka — Restaurant in Waikato

We were a group of 10 touring NZ and came across this restaurant in Taupo- i’m so glad we found this hidden gem. Their Kebab rolls and platters were so delicious, the chicken and lamb were perfectly cooked and i’d say cut at the sweet perfect time! We ended up visiting this place three times during our stay in Taupo. The staff were extremely courteous, they even allowed us to dine in on our first visit, given we arrived there at a time they were closing shop after lunch! (A few hungry bunch of kids were to be cheered for this)

What I liked most about this place -

-Great food - served Hot! -Generous serves! -Exceptional customer service - Ask them about platters As much as it might sound blunt, they did let us know that there could be a 10-15 minute wait as they prepare the food fresh but the food did the rest of talking for them and it was all worth the wait! -They know their customer service game quite well - they treated the kids in our group with ice cream serves to keep them kids calm until the food arrived!

See you next time in Taupo, Kebab Turka crew - you guys are...

After having spend a long Sunday evening in Taupo, we were looking for a good Halal restaurant for dinner. We walked around Taupo Town Centre and came across a couple of restaurants; some of them were either not Halal or were closed.

While strolling through, we came across Kebab Turka and decided to have our dinner there. We ordered the Lamb Doner Shawarma, Doner Burger and Fried Chicken.

The menu offered a good variety of Mediterranean dishes with affordable prices and the portion sizes were generous. And not to mention the very welcoming staff and with excellent hospitality and service .

The meat was fresh, succulent and well marinated and the food was really tasty. A big plus is that they are open until 11:30pm on regular days and until 2:30 am on Fridays & Saturdays.

A spacious restaurant with quaint aesthetics and cozy interiors. A perfect stop for tourists , those passing by Taupo and even residents looking for Halal options in Taupo! Would definitely recommend it to friends...
