Best places: Middle eastern restaurants in Auckland, New Zealand

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

👍👍 Tapsi was a great spot for a filling lunch. One main dish and one entree filled our family of four. Friendly and quick service, with the food being seasoned well. The meat from the Mandi chicken was tender and tasty with the rice having good flavour. The Mezze platter was delicious and fresh. For so...

🫤 Updated review from the last one: We visited here after some years and it's changed. The taste has no doubt improved and it's better than before but we're disappointed with the quantity. We went for the King charcoal platter which is meant to be the most popular serve 5 adults, but the 4 of us almo...

👍👍 I and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our date-night here 😊😊 was on a Friday night, service was outstanding! We had an amazing waitress, a young girl and also I believe the owner taking care of us. They constantly checked on us making sure our meals were okay and we had everything we needed. I have...

👍 What a lovely Mediterranean restaurant at Sylvia park! Generous servings, affordable prices, friendly staff and quick service. I love my began wrap. Toilet is incredibly clean. Well organised menu and variety of meals to choose from. Highly recommended 👍

👍 I found my experience at this Afghan restaurant to be quite satisfactory. The spacious and pleasant ambiance, albeit with parking challenges, made for a decent setting. The staff's friendliness added to the overall positive impression. The meal, prepared with fresh halal ingredients, was well-cooked...

Informal, intimate cafe specializing in traditional Middle Eastern & North African dishes.

👍👍 You look through the door and the first thought is "Hmmm, not sure about this place." ... Ignore that thought!! The food is superb and the owners awesome and friendly 😀 Since this review they've done a mini renovation .. looking good!

👍👍 Petra Shawarma has been my top favourite places on Auckland for years and they've continued to exceed my expectations even after COVID. They are run by a beautiful Jordanian family and their food is wholesome, honest, and nourishing to the body and refreshing for the soul. Their cauliflower salad...

👍👍 We were there on their opening day. We didn't get the chance to taste their mains but had Persian icecream that was absolutely delicious in decent portions. The staff were very welcoming, engaging and friendly. The venue is cozy and warm with clean, comfortable dining sets. They have decorated the w...

👍👍 What a tasty food... I love kebabs and I never ever had such a good kebab like in premium kebab... Food is delicious and the portion is more then enough. well done guy!

😠 I live a couple of minutes walk from Fatima’s in Ponsonby. I love the food but the service is dreadful - food often sits on the side while they forget to call your name and you take food home cold. You’re advised to pick up in20 minutes but the reality is usually double what you’re told. I don’t nor...

👍👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Best Lebanese store in Auckland. Finest Middle East ingredients. Selection is superb. Staff are wonderful and welcoming. You'll find Syrian Olive oil soap here with organic Bay oil. This is Auckland's best source for pure organically made soap. Pure A grade quality Pakistani oils of almon...

🫤 Food didn't taste fresh, also never had a spicy almost curry tasting kebab before. Definitely not a fan sadly I had a few bites of my lamb doner kebab and gave up. Chips were too soft also, but tasted better than the kebab did, so I didn't completely starve. First and last order for me.

😐 We had the lamb salad, which was nice and fresh. Didn’t like the chicken chawarmas. The bun was too thick and couldn’t have a bite with out the stuffing falling out. Yogurt/sauce was way too tangy. The fried potatoes / tatter tots were good, and came with a nice dip.

😠 You will be sick after eating that kebab from that shop. I ate one kebab at dine in. Spitt out the salad that time but didn't tell them anything ,thinking sometimes it may happen. But the one took at home, same thing,couldn't eat. They use rotten tomatoes and salad. I bought 2 kebab but both are s...
