Turkish Cafe – Ponsonby Road

The Turkish Cafe is known for serving fresh, wholesome, good-value food. Our menu is inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine with a strong Turkish influence. Available for dine-in and takeaway. We have plenty of vegetarian entrees and mains, and some gluten-free options. We offer a children’s menu and we always take care to serve halal meat.

The Turkish Cafe has become a bit of an institution in Auckland, with over 30 years history since the mid 1980’s as one of the mainstays of the Three Lamps shopping and dining area. During this time it has proved a hugely popular dining spot for locals and visitors alike.

The restaurant has a welcoming, rustic feel, with Turkish murals on the walls and interesting artifacts tucked into corners.

Come and dine with us for lunch, dinner or something in-between. Enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail, or try a bottle of Turkish Efes beer for a change. Or order a meal to go from our separate takeaway menu. (If you are short of time, just call us to place your order in advance, and we will have your food ready for you when you arrive.)

The Turkish Cafe is also an ideal venue for parties and group functions. Groups are always very welcome and we have a menu with example set meals for you to choose from. If you’d like a belly dancer to entertain your group, we can organise that for you at an affordable price.
