The food is absolutely amazing. The wait time however is too long, even when it’s not busy you can expect to wait at least 20mins for a single pita
The food was really tasty, would give 5star for that. But in the term of HEALTH and SAFETY would give a ZERO. The staff were not wearing gloves and cleaned the table, platform etc with the sponge and without washing or sanitising their hand just wiped it on their apron and carried on making pitas. I will definitely come back but plz make sure you keep it a bit clean and train the staff properly.
We had superb meals from here the other night
I had the Lamb Pita in the Fatima's favourite option/style
With lettuce carrot red onion cheese tomato relish sweet chilli aioli and chilli
The flavours were amazing
And it held together well
The others had Crispy Chicks also fabulous
Pity about the parking
Mount Eden store please!
My favourite lamb pita place since 1997. Love their sauces with the pita and watching the hypnotising spin of the meat being cooked. Best side dish is the potato koftas which are potato gems and the magic is in their tangy chilli mayo. Love Fatimas

I am not a huge fan of middle eastern style food type, but I definitely am a fan of this place. I have been coming here every so often for almost six years now, which is crazy when you think about it, but I just can't stop! They have a (delicious) range of options which caters to wide variety of customers and each option is still nothing less than delicious, I mean I am a meat eater, I have several meat eaters in my family, but my top two favourites from the store is the lamb chawarma and the vege croquette fatima's fave (100% vegetarian). Other than the food the staff is absolutely lovely; they are friendly, bubbly and most importantly they are knowledgable when it comes to their menu! I have seen first-hand that they know what they are talking about when they make their recommendations (i.e. which filling goes with which pita, which extra topping goes with what etc..), which can be very rare to find.
I do have to admit, the only reason why I am writing this review is because I overheard one of the workers a couple of days ago, seemed frustrated over a really bad review they were given, which I saw and found incredibly offensive because I myself nor my family are not "White", even though that shouldn't matter, and all still found this place AMAZING.
All and all those who want great food and service, at a decent price, I say you should definitely give this lovely restaurant a try.
Love this place!!! Fatima's has been a favourite of mine for some time now. They always have amazing service, great food and an inviting place to sit and eat. Both restaurants have provided me with positive experiences that have made me coming back for more every opportunity I can. My fav dishes are the Crisp chick pita or Fatima's favourite with a side of koftas! I would also recommend the Mezze dip :) Fatima's is definitely worth trying if you're in Auckland!
Yum! Awesome menu. I have been a massive fan of Fatimas food for years now! its a great place to go for delicious wholesome food, i always leave there feeling full and satisfied! The service is great and the girls around the bar are always willing to have a good chat which makes it such a friendly environment. LOVE the overall interior of the shop especially the hanging unit above the bar.
Love coming here, the food is amazing and the staff are so pleasant and up beat.
My husband always has the lamb chawarma and I have the chicken fatimas favourite.
And don't get me started on the koftas with the sweet chilli aioli, I can't stop 😳
Had the most amazing Gluten Free Lamb Pitta at Fatimas last night. Firstly the wrap itself tasted like food, not cardboard as it does from other places. The sauces were perfectly balanced with the right amount of tang and a touch of heat and sweet. The lamb was flavorful and perfectly cooked and the salad ingredients were a complete step above what's offered elsewhere. The Koftas ( deep fried balls of crunchy potatoe ) and the Aioli they came with were seriously good as well.... The staff were friendly and efficient despite it being super busy.
I am a huge fan of middle eastern food and Fatimas is my favourite! I just wish there were more restaurants so I didn't have to make the trek over to Ponsonby every weeks! I always get the Fatimas special kebab and their Kofta is pretty special as well. Please please join uber eats!
Good quality Execution is ok - I had a falafel vegan pita - lacked depth of flavour and balance. All one note cumin - plus the tomato relish is WAY too sweet and heavy handed. The amazing thing about this place is the quality of the experience - I watched as the manager guided staff in maintaining consistency and quality in the product while themselves attending to service and cleanliness - amazing management!!! The experience is also built into the amenities… things often overlooked by rivals are so plentiful here and I appreciate it so much!!! Free water, as many napkins as you need (cause it’s a messy, hand held business), table service, pints on tap, real plants, bathrooms and sauces on the table. Really well run. The only thing I think lacking is communication of wifi password if there is one (“friends of Fatima’s?) - I will be back.
Tender and juicy kebab.
Made fresh.
Very friendly staff.
Quick service.
This place has absolutely amazing food. The staff were very efficient and the manager, Max, did an amazing job of catering to everyone’s needs and was very efficient with getting my food out quick. 100% recommend this place, amazing food quality, service and the place was very clean. Must try the lamb chawarma
Love the food. It’s really nice and fresh. Service is fine. The flavours are really awesome. I love the way everything taste so fresh and different. Close to authentic flavours. Highly recommended.
Great tasting food with a chilled vibe. Nice choice of meals on the menu. Can get pretty busy so ask for your Koftas to come as soon as possible!
I shouted my team of 3 for lunch mainly because of special dietary needs Fatima was a good choice.
The staff were friendly and use of fresh ingredients. The wrap was large and very filling. Prices are reasonable
An icon of takeout in Auckland.
I had the lamb fattoush salad (I think that's what it's called)
Awesome, super tasty, zingy, fresh
The young lady that served me was great also.
I eat here regularly and it can depend on who serves you and or who's working that day.
It's not always consistent
The food and customer service was excellent and to be treated with a extra friendly smile on a Sunday 9:40pm just before closing definitely has to be noted here. 10/10
The chawamas are tasty and Koftas always a great side with great dips
As yummy as it ever was. But 1 Chawarma is not enough for a man size meal more of a snack. Ordered a second but they seemed to be on a go slow. 4 staff on duty. 2 customers in store. Ordered half way thru my first. After I had eaten the chawarma and I finished the salad a young lad popped out to ask again. Too late. Chump change out of 20 bucks and left hungry. Covid service perhaps. Worth the effort but best as a takeaway.
