    Shawarma's 10/10 lamb and chicken are incredible Got takeaway food is still super tasty. Even more tasty when it's fresh.

    For the price, food is great and tasty. Visited Dubai pre Covid, this place does allow me to enjoy good Kebab that is similar. Some people complain about the ambient, but I don't see any issue with it. At that price range, the place is decent.

    GRILLED SHAWERMA & MIX KEBAB were both highlight dishes here. The portions were generous and fulling, needing to take home some left overs. The owner was friendly and can see they had alot of regular customers returning. The atmosphere was authentic and there were seats on the upper floor which I didn't see from the outside. Will be back again!

    Absolutely loved the food. Had an amazing experience. Owner is super friendly and very helpful. We had lamb Shish kebab πŸ₯™, Fish 🐠 Combo and Chips for the kiddo. Everything is super tasty and piping hot πŸ”₯. All the items are amazing but the lamb πŸ₯© kebab is outstanding. Will definitely go again and recommend as well

    3.5 ⭐️. I came to Celine on the very busy Saturday evening amidst the Diwali Festival. I asked for the most popular dish and was given the Flame grilled BBQ beef sirloin ($22). Overall the dish was tasty. The steak had too much fat for me and some of the fries were underdone. I also noticed my salad did not have tomato or onion as I’ve seen in pictures of previous dishes- perhaps they ran out because it was so busy. I did love how flavourful and light the rice was and the egg was cooked perfectly. The portion size was reasonable. Friendly service too.

    The lamb shank was tender and delicious, same goes for lamb Kabsah and the falafel. Kebab chicken was filled with fresh vegetables and chicken. Satisfying meal.

    It’s not hard to become a regular at this gem of a place, especially with such juicy and flavourful kofta. It’s become my new comfort food and it’s always a pleasant experience with how friendly the owner is! Good portion and I can taste his kindness in his food wallah.❀️

    This place seriously serve a very delicious and good portion steak for close to $20 Australian dollars. The owner is clearly a hard worker. Good vibes there.

    The food was amazing and the portion was generous, the lamp kebab was salty and paired well with the aromatic rice. The cherry on top was the front of house person was super friendly and, surprisingly, knows how to speak Chinese! Super interesting person, made the experience super memorable.

    I had the chicken kebab washed down with a coke and it was great value. Three skewers with a great char taste served on a generous amount of tasty rice with salad and fries. I had to focus to finish it as the serve was large, especially for lunch. Recommended.

    Halal food. Generous portion. Reasonable price considering situated in CBD. Had the steaks. You may ask them when ordering to exchange side items on the menu for example fries to rice or egg to salads. The steak was good but not great hence only 4 stars. Not sure about other menu. Give them a try and they close quite late.

    Probably the best Mediterranean halal food in Auckland. Take your pick from the extensive menu, with fish, chicken, beef and lamb all available. Establishment owner and staff are very approachable and friendly, always on hand to offer advice on your food choices. Food was simply delicious; meats well marinated, salads fresh and portions all around generous. Prices for each of the five dishes we ordered were fair for value. Atmosphere was warm and friendly, with customers streaming in (looks like regulars) asking after and chatting away with staff. Worthy of a return visit! Definitely recommended.

    We just stopped in this restaurant because we saw a tiny Brazilian flag attached to the name. We had an amazing meal at this place that left us feeling satiated and happy. The restaurant's special dish, "bife a cavalo", was a juicy steak topped with a fried egg was cooked to perfection and served with some lovely fries. Another highlight was the "bife acebolado", a beautifully flavoured steak with caramelized onions that simply melted in my mouth. Lastly, I decided to try out the "stroggnoff de carne", a beef stroganoff dish that was creamy, tangy, and full of bold flavors, which was perfectly balanced by the tender strips of beef. Overall, this meal was a treat to remember, and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable Brazilian food experience.

    One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in town. I had the bamya which was this absolutely delicious lamb dish. The reason this restaurant gets 4 stars is because of the fact there was almost no lamb in the 'lamb dish' (less than 100 grams) and the service was slow. Would still recommend!

    Reasonable place for simple Mediterranean meals. Portion is generous and fit for sharing. General ambiance needs a bit more work.

    Celine is our go to place whenever we're in the CBD. We have returned once again recently and each time we remember why. They have the best shawarma I've tried so far. The view is nice, staff are friendly and the food is delicious with unique seasoning, marinating and sauces.

    I ordered Grilled Chicken Shawarma for the lunch. Staff/ cashier was very courteous. It took around 10 minutes to get my order prepared. Shawarma was fresh and delicious, I ate similar shawarma at Dubai and my taste buds started reminiscing that flavour. Would definitely come again😊

  • 5/5 AdivoVEVO 4 months ago on Google
    Honestly the best Chicken Shawarma I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating, everything made in-house! The service was super friendly and warm, such a welcoming smile and great atmosphere. It’s a little hidden and doesn’t look as flashy as all the other restaurants downtown, but the food is out of this world. A genuine place with beautiful food that leaves you feeling full and happy, what more could you want?
