Fresh Flavours, Bold Finishes

We top our döner kebabs with crisp, freshly prepared vegetables and finish them with our signature housemade sauces. From crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes to tangy pomegranate and zesty onions, every ingredient is selected for peak freshness. Our sauces are crafted in-house with bold, balanced flavours that perfectly complement each bite.

“We stopped by today for a tasting, all the way from Türkiye, the birthplace of döner kebap! The doner marination was fantastic, really close to the authentic ones we eat in Istanbul. Loved that the bread was handmade too! (I can go there even only eating for the bread) Our only tiny comment is that the cuts were a bit thick – real döner is usually sliced thinner. But honestly, that's just a small nuance, no biggie. We'll definitely be back for another taste. Big thanks to the staff and owner for having us! This is a must-try spot in Auckland, and could easily become your go-to takeaway if you're near Ellerslie"
