Review Ephesus Turkish Kitchen - Whangaparaoa

Great customer service. The place is clean to dine in. I had Chicken on rice; very delicious.

Great to have this place close by. We shared a large chicken on rice meal and it was plenty big enough for the two of us. Very tasty and tender chicken with nice sauces. Maybe we could have had a touch more salad, but it all tasted great.

Good variety of food. Decent amount of toppings for the pizza, and quality was also good. Not too much cheese, and salami wasn't too salty. Customer service is excellent. Lose a star as the thin crust was slightly burned - I prefer a fluffy crust that's slightly less cooked.

Ordered a large mixed meat on chips. Was nearly 50% salad (nice salad though) but not enough meat and chips for the price. Enjoyed the food but feel as though should be more meat and chips in it, ordered for pick up and was ready on time when I arrived and staff were friendly. Would recommend but suggest that the owner take not of recurring comments on here around portion sizes

Popped in for a coffee and wow. The coffee is perfect and just the way it should be. The decor is nice and the service is fantastic. I will be back :-)

Feel free to visit it. Excellent food and service. Thank you :)

Great kebab and baklava, i like it

Stopped here for lunch yesterday,I had small chicken on rice with salad.very nice clean Cafe,friendly people,prompt service and food was very nice.everyting is fresh and the portion was perfect size for lunch. Quality over quantity is what I enjoy.thank you.

Best food of my life no cap Was the best meat on chips (mixed) I’ve ever had!!! So mean Chur dog

A wonderful place to eat. Definitely go to check it out and experience great service. ☺️

We got the large mixed wrap and they were the best kababs we have had in Auckland so far!!! Amazingly large portion for the price and we actually shared one between two people considering it was so large. Super generous amount of meat in the filling and amazing flavour. We try to come here every time we make the trip up :)

My favorite turkish kebab. Good food, good service.

This is the 3rd time this place has deceived us. They advertise Charcoal Shish (and confirm it on the phone), but when you turn up they have cooked it on the hotplate

Very tasty kebabs and packed full of meat and salads.

WOW! My first time! Years ago I was a fast food consultant and National Manager of Country Fried Chicken for New Zealand. I know value for money versus poor value for money and this place was fabulous. Firstly the friendly dude was smiley, the salad food was nice and fresh in the display. I ordered the Lamb kebab with chips and stated I really do hope the hot chilly sauce was hot. I wasn't disappointed :) The quantity and quality was there the freshness was there the flavors were all there, and the chips were full and large portion too. I wasn't expecting all that. I then had their new falafel and what a pleasing zing soooo fresh tasting. I rarely give full stars but in short that was the best fast food satisfaction I've had in a long time. Any ex pat Brits looking for that quality we got back home but short of in NZ kebabs try here you will be pleased. Enjoy !

We had a Wrap , a Pita and a burger from here. Lots of meat and salad in wrap and pita. Very tasty. Burger very nice also. And their chips are very nice also. Best I've had in a long while. Will definetly be going back for more

After not having a kebab from here for a while we went back. The chips we had are undoubtedly the best I have ever tasted. This is not said lightly. They should have to legally disclose how they get their chips to be so damn good so that every other place that sells chips is required to use the same method....I will march in the streets for this to occur ! They were all perfectly crispy with the right amount of texture inside. Not a single chip did not meet this amazing standard. Normally when I get any fast food with chips or fries I eat the burger/fish/kebab first and maybe have a couple of chips then my partner eats the rest....tonight she got told to avert her eyes from my chips. These chips are the best chips you will ever eat in your life, please go and have some.

The kebabs here are amazing - so fresh and tonnes of fillings. My go-to is the falafel on rice, but their wrap kebabs are always a winner with my family. <br/>The staff are also so friendly.

Good variety of food. Decent amount of toppings for the pizza, and quality was also good. Not too much cheese, and salami wasn't too salty. Customer service is excellent. Lose a star as the thin crust was slightly burned - I prefer a fluffy crust that's slightly less cooked.

I was the only person there (lock down I presume) asked for a mixed kebab, been craving one for a few weeks. Soggy, hardly any chicken and I asked for no onion, it had onion in it, nice people but very disappointing, won't be back.

Excellent fast service, fresh tasty food always. Pizzas are exceptional value too. My fave go to takeaways on the coast - would highly recommend <br/>

Haven't been here in awhile..originally i didn't like it, but noticed different people working there..so I'm guessing new owners?..so I gave it another chance.<br/>Ordered mixed grill shish in pita bread, small chicken and rice meal and meat lovers pizza.<br/>Service was good and friendly. .a little on the pricey side so was thinking ..oh no , hope we rnt going to get ripped?<br/>Wait for food was ok..what can I say, the food was great..tender meats great flavours , my shish kebab pita was huge and bulging, I couldn't finish it, well pleased with it.<br/>Rice meal also great value and taste, pizza was not skimp on ingredients, nice suprise to get good quality food and good quantity.<br/>Definitely will be back.<br/>

A really nice healthier option for a takeaway. I had the chicken shish kebab on pita and it was delicious and enormous. Side of chips were great too. Kept well until we got home. Great value for money.

Loved the shish kebabs. Delicious. I'm a regular and love the place. Good value for money and always had generous and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Best pitas around, huge. Have become a regular, can't go back to regular kebabs. Borek is great and pizzas look good but haven't tried since can't get past the pita. Staff are chill too.

I specifically asked for no onions, and they gave me onions. I used to love the kebabs and chicken on rice but somthing has gone wrong as there food is terrible now. I do not recommend.

Amazing food and great service, friendly and welcoming! Everything I've tried has been so yummy, I particularly recommend the Chicken Kebab with mint yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce - amazing! Quick service and great atmosphere, relaxed and comfortable seating area.  :)

This is a great place for food and I have had some great kebabs here such as the mixed and Lamb Shish. The staff are friendly and always happy to help and I love the little boxes of Baklava along with a smooth coffee. Defiantly give it a try you wont be disappointed

Chicken kebab with special mayo and bbq sauce.<br/>Do it. <br/><br/>This place has such a cool Turkish decor and the guys who were working here were polite and efficient. The food came out fast and the love for the hot chips brought my friends together in mutual happiness. This is all you could ask for on a Saturday.<br/><br/>Keep it up Ephesus. I'll be back.

The food here is great. But unfortunately, the service is bad from one of the staff. I have been there three times and every time there is an Indian guy who is rude to me and my husband. Because of this we won't be going back. The guy is so offensive he should be fired. The other staff who work there are good but this one person ruined the place for us.

The food here is fresh and tasty from kebabs to pizza's. My personal fav's is the chicken on rice and Mezze platter. The staff there are also really friendly and pretty quick! There's a few small tables inside otherwise great takeaway place.

This is our favourite takeaway place to visit. I always get the Chicken Shish with rice, my husband the Mixed Shish (sometime he has other food but that is his fav) and our kids a small chicken on rice to share. The staff are lovely and the food always delicious. Wish I could eat it every night!

Fantastic! My partner and I love their wraps, chips meals and kebabs on rice. They make the best chips and are very generous with them. We recently tried the pizzas and they are so delicious! I really have no complaints. The staff are attentive and welcoming, the environment in the restaurant is always warm and casual. But what I've noticed more and more is how busy they're becoming which is a true testament to their great food.

Best kebabs I have ever had. My favourite is the chicken kebab wrap. As long as these stay at $10 I can see myself eating here weekly, now that I am moving to the coast. The hummus tastes great. Have also tried chicken kebab on rice and a margarita pizza. Both receive top marks from me. Last weekend my partner and I drove from Glenfield just to eat here.

Great kebabs especially in pitta bread, great service the staff are always friendly, great prices and their hot chips are the best. This is our favourite take out place.

I usually buy Kebabs here and it is always fresh and tasty. The food quality is great. The owners or staff are friendly and welcoming. This place is nice and clean. Recommended

Best kebabs I have ever had, salads always fresh and crisp, meat isn't greasy and very tasty, sauces are awesome, great guys, very friendly. I have become a daily fixture since finding them a month ago.  Best food on the coast hands down and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, simple fresh ingredients with great staff.

It took us a while to find this cafe and since we have come back regularly. We've had the kebabs multiple times and the ingredients taste so fresh and yum. We've also had the hummus with bread- the hummus is amazing and I have bought just this before to take home because it's that good. The staff are very friendly and bring your meal to you if your waiting outside. I have rated a 3.5 as a pizza we once had was quite greasy but may have just been the one we ordered. Other than that we will continue to come to this little treat of a place.

Friendly and chatty staff who genuinely like to care and serve for their customers.<br/><br/>I'm fussy and almost never choose from the menu, preferring a concoction of my own design...it is called my "usual" now and I don't even have to order it.<br/><br/>The food is delicious, the staff great, and the owner attentive.

Have had lunch here 3 times now. We both love the food and appreciate them being happy to make changes to a meal in order to accommodate our preferences. Friendly and helpful and now our go to place for lunch. Their hummus is the best I have tasted and as I am 1/2 Lebanese I know what good hummus tastes like.

Tasty takeaways, healthy and fresh. Chicken on rice is my favourite meal. Fast and friendly service, it's also open til 10pm on week nights which is hard to find on the coast
