Cafe Lokum

We really enjoy coming to Lokum. It’s always great food, reasonably priced and a friendly atmosphere.

Large portions, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Quite possibly the best Turkish restaurant I have been to in New Zealand and whenever I am in The Hutt or Wellington I make sure to drop on by

Excellent food, great service, good portion sizes. Excellent ambiance and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My partner and I love coming to this place. We’ve brought our friends along and they loved it. It is the best. The service is top tier. You are served by the owner who is very attentive and kind. The atmosphere is very welcoming. The food is fresh and tasty. Every bite takes you to Turkey.

OMG literally everything about this place is amazing! The food is to die for and the service is amazing. The staff are super friendly and helpful and our food came super quick. Another plus is the location it’s super close! Making me want to move to turkey

Best Turkish food ever! Highly recomend:)
The food is fresh and very tasty. Freshness of salads, dips and meats is very important for me when having Turkish food and this cafe ticks all the boxes for me. Amed the owner is also very friendly and knows what he is doing with the food:)

To be honest, food here makes you feel like you are in South Europe.it is sooo good! This place easily became one of our favorite. It is easily the best Turkish restaurant in Wellington, and the meat is so tasty. Love it! Highly recommended.

This is my third time dining here and it was really nice food. The owners who I guess are family are very friendly and welcoming and overall the its a great place to come in for a meal.
Thank you.

Came in here for lunch with two other family members and we all got a mixed escander each and we all enjoyed it very much. Very tasty meals and well priced too. We all recommend this lovely Cafe/ restaurants to you all.
Thanks again.

Its a great atmosphere in there! It felt like we where in an Abba movie! Great food! Great people! Best of the best Turkish delight!

Always enjoy this place; the food, service and pleasant, quiet ambiance. Love their Shish kebab, and baclava with ice cream!

Just had our order delivered by deliver easy the meal was on time and the delivery person very polite… the meals were delicious and very authentic. Tastes just like my nagymama and Dado used to make (grandma and grandpa) … a large menu selection. The meat was excellent and wasn’t too fatty at all, the ingredients were fresh and the chilli was hot just how I like it. Will definitely order again and visit the restaurant in person with family. Thank you!

Good food, good environment, the staff actually looks after you. The head chef there is the best!

Great food, plenty space within the Cafe. Tables well set out. Dining outside very comfortable weather permitting. Recommend.

Beautiful food. So much flavor! Will definitely be coming back thanks for such a beautiful meal and baklava was delicious

Delightful, friendly service. I mentioned we’d been moving house all day and I think they gave us extra food as the plates were massive! We had the meze and the mujver was so yum! They’re our new local when we’re in Petone!

Love this Turkish Cafe. Their Falafel and zucchini platter were yummy, nicely seasoned. Plenty of fresh vege in my plate and sauce was all good.
My husband had a chicken donor, he liked it and satisfied. Nice clean floor and table. Water was nice and cool. They used to have outside seating but it seemd to have removed: it would be seating outside when a nice sunny day.

Great meals for reasonable prices.

If you, like me, like coffee, order a cup of Turkish coffee with no milk or sugar. It's a little experience in itself.

Food lovely great customer service loved that they allowed byo. There were 6 of us & we all had a great time as we were able to talk without shouting. Definitely a place that I would recommend. Perfect for what we were after & very reasonable which was great. Our waitress was a delight. Thank you Cafe Lokum we will be back

Fantastic place and food. Ahmet is one of the rare turks in NZ who truly cares and is passionate about sharing our cultural cuisine with kiwis and doing it at a high standard with pride

Absolutely the best Turkish food I’ve ever had, kids love it. The owner is so kind to offer free rice since we like it so much, will absolutely try again some day
