On Jellicoe Street, this restaurant is another excellent addition to the bustling Wynyard Quarter district. The cosy and inviting Turkish restaurant, Feriza’s is a true taste of Turkey. Named after co-owner Feriza Isik, Feriza’s was established by siblings Alex and Feriza Isik. The brother and sister duo behind the restaurant have more than 20 years of experience in Ottoman cuisine. Their fondness with their grandmother’s recipe book developed into a lifelong passion now being shared with Aucklanders.
Dishes are flavoursome, generous and fairly priced; you’ll inevitably over-order. Boasting breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that will have you craving more. With a part of the menu devoted to different variations of the Gin and Tonic, as well as an innovative cocktail menu, there is sure to be something for everyone. These deserts are colorful and textured-and they’re an absolute surprise. Served with pistachio ice cream and crunchy walnuts and pistachio ice cream, Loukoumades are deep-fried doughnut balls that are on the outside and inside deliciously doughy. Feriza’s is a local favorite.

An escape to the Mediterranean awaits you at this warm and inviting spot in Auckland, where a unique take on Istanbul’s street food is served in a magical setting reminiscent of a corner in magical Turkey. Every dish on the menu is freshly prepared in their open kitchen, where you can see your food being prepared with care.
This eatery invites diners to sit around a hand-painted tile bar to watch the chefs at work. Creating Turkish Delight from scratch and brewing thick and sweet coffee over an open flame, the restaurant is both an enjoyable dinner and a show. A signature delight is the dürüm kebab, served with authentic Turkish flavours and spices. We recommend you go to Mrs Istanbul for street-side food made with fresh ingredients, honest cooking and traditional recipes.
