Angora Takapuna

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.

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.
