We went for a beautiful lunch date to this restaurant. We tried the Rump Steak and Mash with Salad, Seafood Platter, Blueberry Cheesecake and Baklava with Ice cream. All of the dishes were superb and tasty. Highly recommended!
Hadn't been here for about 10 years and it was just as good as I remembered! We were a group of 10 and everyone loved their meal. Great Turkish food and reasonably priced too. Like that you can BYO here too!
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the timeliness of the service fantastic. Highly recommended!
Beautiful, simple restaurant decor and music creating a wonderful atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and attentive and great priced drinks ( cocktails at $12!) . The food ordered, Moroccan falafel and Iskender were brought out quick and were hot and fresh. Cafe Midnight Express is very well priced, with lunch time and dinner specials on daily.
The dips and mezze platters looked great for larger groups which the restaurant provides ample room for, live belly dancing is also advertised on Saturday nights . All and all a wonderful venue and amazing food and price, definitely recommend.
We came here for a work Christmas lunch.
The service was good and we were able to order our meals the day before which meant our food came out straight away!
It’s cheep and cheerful - I paid $12 for the falafel dish, my only complaint is that the menu I ordered or off said it came with pita bread but it came with rice - still delicious though :)
The staff were friendly and happy got us to sing as part of our Christmas game.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo as I was out during work, but I would highly recommend for a quick lunch in the city.
Best place ever with Devine and I mean Devine food!

This place is amazing & would highly recommend! The food had so much flavor and was the best falafel I've ever had!! The staff were also so lovely and helpful.
Been here twice so far and have really enjoyed the food! We've had the steak, grilled chicken, kofte and lamb moussaka. The service is also great, and they have found seats for us even though we didn't make bookings. Definitely would return and recommend to others! :)
Restaurant that has been there for the longest time but not one we go to very often. Food was actually very decent with a tasty moussaka, the mix platter of meat was great as you got to taste several meats. The meatball were my highlight. A little bite to them. But very tasty.
Just had a great dinner here! You can pick a la carte menu or just 30-35 NZD dinner deal. I recommend the mezze platters as a starter, I think it’s the best falafel I had. Lamb shank was shoo nice too and the sticky date cake was dangerously delicious!
Really nice place! Loved the ambiance and music. Food is so delicious. Loved Tandoori Chicken as Mains and Calamari Salad. Serving is pretty quick too. All in all a good experience.
Came here for dinner. We had 8 people seated on a very nice sized table which meant we didn't have a clatter of plates.
The drinks came out quite fast same with the food.
Highly recommend the chicken iskender, was top notch, juicy, and flavourful. The lamb moussaka and lamb cutlets had great flavour too. My one comment would be about the lamb shank, personally I was expecting a richer, more flavourful jus. It was still good, meat pulling nicely off the bone and of course the bone marrow to top it off.
Good value for money and if you have an appetite, the proportions are great.
Definitely coming back here.
First time here and we'll definitely be back! Food was so tasty, nice selection of drinks, friendly service - absolutely recommended.
The lamb cutlets were beautifully cooked and succulent 😍 Portion of the midnight mix was huge! Really enjoyed a little big of everything. Chocolate cake was soft, moist & rich & baklava pastry was super crunchy! 🤤 Got to watch the belly dancing show which takes place on the weekends 💃🏻
Nice environment with amazing chef and staff. We had a meat eater and a vegan and we were able to find a couple vegan dishes that fit perfectly. Their steaks are excellent with beautiful sides and the vegan dish offered was falafel with fried pita bread and salad. Best falafel I have had in a long time. Great for a group of friends or date night. Alcohol available and their cocktails are brilliant as well.
This place is amazing. If you want a great Turkish meal don't miss this place is the top for tasty delicious meals and deserts. The cafe is a nice relaxed space to eat in so you feel very comfortable. The staff are wonderful. The chef provides the most delicious meals. Friendly waitress Jena was so wonderful and super friendly looking after us throughout our dining. We visited here 2 days in a row because it was soooo good. We will be back.
Exceptionally delicious Turkish food. I thoroughly recommend Café midnight express. dinner special to sample the marinated grilled lamb mince and succulent lamb kebab plus a chicken kebab complemented by fresh side salad. Mouthwatering taste of balanced perfection in beautiful decor. generous portion size. Fabulous experience. Enjoy dining here with friends!
The food is great and the service is so quick and friendly. Love the lamb here. Lunch specials are a great value for money. It’s highly consistent and the portion size is decent. It can get very busy during peak lunch hours so best to make a booking especially for a larger group. Highly recommended !
Absolutely amazing!! Went for a lunch date with my wife. Special mention for the super friendly staff. Well we opted for the express lunch option which are priced at 12$. I found the pricing to be really economical. I had ordered the Grilled Chicken which came along with some rice and greens. My wife had ordered a Mezze Platter which was a vegetarian option. Frankly, the platter looked more tempting. But the chicken was equally amazing in taste. I will surely be going again to try other options in the menu !!
The service was really an express one !! Go experience yourself
Impressive! Had a reservation for lunch at 01:30pm but due to some unfortunate events ended up coming in at 02:30pm. The gracious host did not turn us away, instead welcomed us warmly. Kudos to excellent service! The food is heavenly, perfect mix of spices and food. Amazing Kafve - if you like it strong, go for it!!! There’s nothing bad I can say to this place... keep up the great work, will definitely be back!
Awesome food, the midnight mix is delicious. The deals are great, 3 courses for $35 is so worth it. And the service is the best in town! The guys who run the place are attentive, polite and knowledgeable and always have a smile on their faces.
