Went here for lunch with my friend, hands down the most fresh and lovely chicken and mixed kebabs we had served to us. Tucked away gem with humble setting. Service was great, and most importantly the food was cooked beautifully for us. Had a great lunch meal that exceeded expectations for sure. Will surely be back here!
Great service and good laughs! Good vege and vegan options. Best spot in Grafton, always good authentic coffee and turkish food.
Had falafel, hummus and another time mousaka. Everything was tasty and presentable. The best option in that area of Grafton.
We were out nearby and fancied this cuisine. Love this app for saying what's nearby! This popped up so we went. Really pleased we did. Great menu. Great looking dishes on the tables inside. Really good value. We will definately be back!
nice cozy place for lunch....food is good, served fast.we went their on a team lunch from office and we were pleased by the food and service. overall it was a good exp and would rate them 4
One of the better cafes around Grafton. The food they serve is quite nice and does have nice flavour. They also serve a really tasty moussaka. Generally happy with the meals here. It is pricier than the other cafes around and the portions are ok.
Really friendly service and nice food.
A small Turkish cafe located in Park Rd. I have been here for a cope of time. Both their pita bread and salads tasted pretty good. Will try their main dishes at some points.
Great find in Grafton! Tucked away towards the end of the string of Grafton shops, offers a great range of Turkish dishes including all the usual favourites.
I had the chicken iskender which was delicious and presented very nicely with perfect portion sizes. My friends tried the kebab and the spicy lamb salads which they both really enjoyed as well. It really is a shame it's hidden away!
A really nice little local place that does simple Turkish food well. No pretenses, it is not trying to be fancy or upmarket. A decent meal, a Turkish beer or two, or a glass or red or white. Great for the local student and hospital population. We frequented this place when we lived in Grafton until 7 years ago, and happy to find it still here now we have moved back!
I think this cafe ought to be a better rate. I didnt try other options but the pita is really nice. if you want to a quick and healthy lunch this cafe is worth a try.

The photos says it all. We took a before and after pictures to show that we cleaned the plate. Prices matches quality and quantity. The owner was very welcoming and certainly know about hospitality in these times when not many customers are around. Thank you sir for serving us delicious food.
I only found this place because I stepped out from the hospital for a moment. Was looking for a kebab but didnt expect to find such a deliciously authentic dining experience just down the street. The service was great and the food was a real highlight of the day, on a day that my neice was born. 🤷🏼♂️ I had the vegetarian combination. 😙👌🏻
I have been a regular customer of Cafe Karadeniz since the doors opened two decades ago - their food, service and surroundings have always been stellar, but I had to place a special review after our beyond-outstanding experience on Friday night. There were 21 of us in our group, PLUS the rest of the restaurant was full - as always, the food and the service was amazing, but the best part of our experience was that owners Monica and Sehmi were gracious hosts and laughing with us the entire night, and they didn't miss a beat! They deserve six stars ******. There you go! Thank you so much, Sue (Warning: you eat too much because the food is so good, so wear stretchy pants :-) - that's a good thing).
Wonderfully simple and fresh. Spices were not overpowered,just right for me. His red cabbage salad is to die for,and I've tasted many. I had a mixed meat dish- lamb,chicken and mini beef patties with yoghurt dressing and humus with tomato paste just beautifully balanced. Wonderful experience
Have been eating here for almost 20 years. Best Turkish I know of in Auckland. Side salads that are super fresh, excellent Moussaka and Iskenders. Really good vegetarian option. Pleasant atmosphere, and owner Semih is a gem. Wonderful !
It is consistently great, and has been a welcome feature in Grafton for over 20 years. Have been a regular customer & I love how humble and excellent this café is. Serves excellent Turkish cuisine, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, staying open until 10 p.m. weeknights.
Have been here several times and the service is simple and no fuss. The food is good, prepared well and tastes good. Its a bustling busy place and the din can be an issue for some. However if you're wanting great service and your meal promptly try them out.
The coffee here is ALWAYS great. I've only had the food a couple of times but it has been good too. Service with a smile, friendly staff who care to remember regulars.
Terrific salmon salad!!! And lamb moussaka was delicious, too!
