Kilim Turkish Cafe - Petone

very good turkish food in petone iskanders and mixed kebabs are really good . very friendly staff . love to dine here often .

I heard so many fantastic things about this place (and in fact, I previously frequented their restaurant on Willis Street in Wellington City), but I was really, really disappointed by my meal. This was the only meal I ever went so far as to request my money back for. It may be that I chose a poor day/time to go, or that I made a poor selection. I went during the lunch period on a Saturday, and ordered the Zucchini and Carrot fritters Iskender. Looking to try something different, i was quite excited to try the food. I wasn't expecting such a loose interpretation of the word 'fritter'. It was slices of carrot and zucchini, individually battered and deep fried in a greasy thick fish-and-chip-shop batter. I would guess it was a less popular menu item, as it appeared clearly frozen and reheated. I wasn't able to eat more than a few bites. I sincerely believe that others have had great experiences here, but mine and my partner's meals were not great, and we left hungry and disappointed. I didn't think as far ahead to take photographs, unfortunately.

This is my favourite Turkish restaurant. Delicious flavours. Had the mixed grill last time and I particularly like the skewered lamb on top. Ultra tender. Great atmosphere. Cozy. Friendly waiting staff. A great experience.

I really like Turkish food. Their food are amazing where you order it as a wrap or naked. Also their place is really cosy and bright.

I have tried it many times and have not disappointed. All the times, I have experienced perfect service with great taste.
