Really polite couple, loved the food and ambiance. Really good handcrafted stuff and amazing Turkish cuisines. Pizza was crisp and very filling too. Would definitely go again. Cheers 🍻
By stepping into Angora, you'll instantly fall in love with the Turkish vibe. From beautifully crafted lamps to intricate fabric designs and other unique items which you can find at Angora restaurant cum store.
Eventhough this place is pretty busy on a Saturday evening, their service is still up to speed.
Their Kebabs and Ispanakli Borek are delicious. Also, we would highly recommend their Blacksea Chicken if you're after a slightly different dish from the usual kebab.
Oh, don't go home without having the classic baklava! :)
Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience at Angora and would recommend if you're after decent Turkish food around the area. 🇹🇷
I really enjoyed the ambience of this place. Especially the entrance way which has beautiful lamps and items for sale.
The service was good. However, there are a few small things the waitresses could have done to make it great service. Firstly, the waiter gave us a table with two menus but there were three of us. Secondly, the waiter apologised after realising we didn't have any cutlery to begin our entree. Thirdly, our water bottle was never replaced despite it being empty for the majority of the time. Although these are very minor things, they do make a
difference to the overall dining experience.
In terms of food, the menu is very reasonably priced. I thought the portions were of a good size. We enjoyed the dips which came with Turkish bread. There wasn't anything that stood out flavour-wise in terms of our mains, and the Blacksea Chicken wasn't exactly pleasing to the eye. The kebab and Turkish pizza was tasty and there was a generous amount of meat. However, there wasn't too much of a difference between these dishes and any usual Turkish kebab takeaway. Whether this is a good or bad thing can be left up to you.
All in all, it was a good dining experience with nice food but nothing overly amazing. Given the amount of offerings in the area, unless it's for a gift idea, I probably won't be coming back.

Very nice have to try this place you will not regret the taste is amazing. Tidy restaurant and polite welcoming staff. Wait time was not that bad 10mins
My family and I have been several times and have always been very pleased with both the food and the overall experience. We went more recently and noticed they changed the menu to feature more Mediterranean dishes, I ordered eye filet which was cooked perfectly, my wife had the prawn ravioli, and my son had the chicken with tomato sauce. We were all very pleased with the meal, the portions were more than generous and the service was very friendly. Overall, would recommend, and will definitely come back for more.
I ordered a Black Sea Chicken and it was fantastic. The atmosphere was hella tight, I especially enjoyed the customer service. The waitress was nice to me and my friends, she was also very attentive. The food was delivered in a timely fashion. The only thing I can say that I didn't enjoy was that the menu was a little too extensive and it was hard to make a decision. Basically, this place is dope (and the shisa is pretty good too).
We've been coming here for a couple of years - and love it. They've recently changed their theme and menu to more Mediterranean food, including pastas - so for those thinking just Turkish - it has now changed and really there's something for everyone. We've tried a couple of the pastas and have been really impressed. We still love their originals of Black Sea Chicken and Islim Kebabi. For dessert our favourites are delicious cheese cake, baklava and tiramisu.
This place is great if a little quiet. They have a belly dancer most nights which livens things up. The baclava and halumi are our favourites. The shisa is great out front especially with the gas heaters on. Flavours are limited so call in advance to check and get the coals heated up
We've never eaten Turkish before last night. 8 people booked for a celebration meal. This restaurant is decorated in a simple Turkish atmosphere, and comfortable, however some of our chairs suffered from dead springs which meant some of us sunk too low into the chair. About 25% of the available tables were taken on this Saturday night. The service was very friendly and efficient, although our table suffered from " I'll lean over you and take your plate before you've finished" disease. Our group ordered entrees and main courses. The menu is a mix of semi European and traditional Turkish food. Nicely presented on the plate and very tasty. Plenty of spices. Desserts were simple and this reflected in the presentation. We felt the desserts were excessive in their portion size. The bathrooms were clean and fresh. Overall a lovely experience.
The place serves Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. The food is great and the service excellent. They have nicely decked with Turkish artifacts. They also sell hand made lamps and other merchandises from Turkey.
I guess I qualify as a regular now, as I dine there at least every other week. The food is both excellent, and authentically Turkish with lots of variety. My personal favorite is Black Sea Chicken, the walnut sauce is delicious. Make sure you leave room for desert though. Without a doubt they have the best deserts in Takapuna (I know, I've tried them all). The service is top-notch. It's a husband and wife team that run the place, so Orhan (chef) and Virsen (Maitre'D) are there almost every night to make sure the food and service is just right. Highly recommend this place.
A nice and cozy place. Great and lots of vegetarian options. The eggplant dish is amazing! A must try! Great food, great ambiance and service!
Delicious meal and genuine friendly service. Do leave space for the baklava, which is simply divine. The menu has an interesting range of dishes, so do be adventurous.
Great service. Waitress was warm and friendly. Food was delicious ! Meat was veey tender. Definitely recommend this place if you come pass takapuna
Excelent personal service, the food was great and had plenty of vegiterian options. They also have a lovely shop with Turkish lights, plates and rugs.
A very nice place for Turkish cuisine. Family owned. Pleasant interior. Recommend to visit if you are in Takapuna.
Delicious food. Everything was just perfect👌and beautiful ambiance too.
Very nice place. Quiet and cozy. Good food, friendly service, pretty good selection of wine.
Great place to eat and relax. I had lamb rump with eggplant - delicious. The waiter asked how I wanted it to be done - that I found was client-centered. They delivered what I asked for. Also we had bread and dips for a starter- it was warm fresh and tasty. Overall good friendly service and pleasant atmosphere there. I liked the Turkish glass lamps and a little shop at the entrance with more lamps and plates - eye candy! So pretty.
