About Cafe Turkuaz
Cafe Turkuaz brings the vibrant flavours of Turkish and Mediterranean cooking to Heretaunga Street in central Hastings. Run with genuine passion for the cuisine, the cafe has become a go-to destination for locals craving something beyond the usual takeaway options. Every dish is made fresh, with quality ingredients, traditional spices, and the kind of care that turns a simple meal into something special.
What's on the Menu
Kebabs & Wraps
Generous doner kebabs, chicken shish, lamb kofte, and falafel wraps are the stars of the menu. Each is packed with freshly sliced meat, crisp salad, house-made sauces, and served in warm bread that's the real deal — not the mass-produced variety.
Pide & Turkish Pizza
Traditional Turkish pide — boat-shaped flatbread filled with your choice of lamb, chicken, cheese, or mixed vegetables — is baked to order in the oven. It's the Turkish answer to pizza, and regulars swear by it.
Plates & Platters
For a sit-down meal, try the mixed grill platter, a rice bowl with grilled meats and salad, or one of the daily specials. Vegetarian options including falafel plates and hummus feature alongside the meat-centric dishes.
Why Locals Love Cafe Turkuaz
The combination of generous portions, bold flavours, and friendly service keeps customers coming back. It's the kind of place where the owner remembers your order and the food tastes like it was made by someone who actually loves cooking. For Hastings, having access to genuine Turkish cuisine — rather than a generic kebab shop — is something locals genuinely appreciate.
