Omg Gaby was so incredible! Please pass on my thanks, she absolutely made my night! Everything ran smoothly and she was just so gorgeous! Will definately come back ๐
Ferizaโs is a place where you want to celebrate with friends, family or a quite romantic one with partner.. the ambience is calm and location is perfect. Love the staff every-time we have been here. Their menu is super and portion size is great too... will visit again definitely
This was my second time at Ferizaโs following a work dinner a couple years ago, I was impressed then and even more so now. We ordered the mezze platter and kofte meatballs for starters which came out so quickly (service was amazing!!). For mains we ordered the dolma, chilli prawns, beef cheek tagine and the eggplant special along with some chicken kebabs - the flavours were amazing, especially the prawns and kebabs and the beef cheek was so tender and just melted in your mouth.
The restaurant itself is also beautifully decorated with a very inviting atmosphere, and again the service was fantastic!
Amazing experience. The owners have really created a warm and welcoming atmosphere while still keeping the interior design stylish and modern. The food was incredible, the owner was extremely knowledgeable and gave us the best restaurant experience and her passion really shone through with her service.
This will be my second time here and I have to say, it was a great experience. The service was super attentative and the food was great. Notable highlight were the cigara borek and the beef cheek. The meat was literally melt in your mouth soft. Overall great experience.
You could feel the hospitality in this place. They tried really hard to make me and my friend feel welcomed. We got served fast and with very well presented food.
Loved the decor and the colors of this place. The only thing I didnโt like was the amount of vinegar on my octopus. I couldnโt eat it.
Beautifully decorated restaurant. Great Ambience, delicious food and super service. The right recipe for success. Highly recommend it and will be visiting again very soon.
The ladies loved the bathroom decor!
Such a beautiful restaurant - decor was lovely and even the bathrooms were gorgeous. Staff were friendly, welcoming and very attentive. Food was also lovely - we ordered the meatball entree, cauliflower fritter entree, eggplant main, chicken feast man and baklava dessert. Meatball entree was far too salty which was the consensus of the table. Cauliflower fritters were ok. Nice to try but wouldnโt order again. Everything else was delicious!!!!!
Came by for dinner and wasn't sure what to try since everything sounded tasty. I ended up going for the Adana Kebab, a lamb kebab served with chips and salad. The kebab was really flavoursome, nicely spiced and seasoned. The chips and salad went down well with the kabab, sauces and bread. It was really tasty. I also had the kunefe for dessert. It was almost at the edge of too sweet. the ice cream and candy floss actually added flavour to the kunefe, which was tasty and crispy.
The restaurant itself looks very elegant, with the open dining area topped with the chandelier. The kitchen was also quite open to the dining area so you could see what was going on there. Service was friendly and nice.
The food is so delicious plus their service was good too. I love their hot chocolate. Lovely place would definitely go back there again.
Had a good experience here. I was in and out of there within about 30min, didnโt take long to take order and also for the food to come out. I got the lamb wrap and is was very very nice - very tender lamb. Highly recommend it
Wow wata perfect lunch we had today and the flavouring of the food which we ordered was on point. Decor is beautifully done. Service by one staff member was a let down the rest was good.
I tried their Chicken Souvlaki Wrap for lunch and it was amazing. It has a very fine dining kind of ambience so it's perfect for client meetings etc.
We went their for takeaways and decided to eat on the harbour instead which less than a minute's walk away.
The wrap was beautiful and the portion was the perfect size for lunch. Highly recommend this place.
The food, the staff, the service, even the interior decorations were ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ. The taramasalata, potato piyaz and falafel were delicious. The Adana skewer was well seasoned and cooked nicely. And the hand cut fries was legit. I also enjoyed their Salep and Pomegranate Iced Tea. Iโm glad that my partner and I came to Feriza to celebrate my birthday.
Food: 5/5
The Beef Cheek was very soft and melted in the mouth. Great amount of sauce and everything on the plate worked extremely well together. The Tempura Halloumi Chips were tasty. The Calamari Mezze was very good, the sauce and salsa on the plate complimented the calamari.
Service: 3/5
We went with 4 people, and our mains all came out at different times.
Price: 5/5
Portion sizes are huge! You won't leave this place feeling hungry

The highlight was the Kunefe, the kadaifi (pastry) baked in cheese, soaked in lemon honey syrup ๐คค and served with pistachio vanilla ice cream. One of the best desserts I've tasted! It's like a turkish version of a cheesecake but with strands of Kunefe that adds a beautiful crispy texture. That combined with cheese, I just melted in my seat ๐คญ
Such a beautiful restaurant, relatively new in the wynyard quarter area. Absolutely love the interior decoration, from the cutlery to the bathroom design. The menu had heaps of choices and allows you to opt to share small dishes or order your own main. It was hard to pick from such great sounding plates! We were a group of 6 so shared small plates and was able to try a variety of dishes. My favourite dish was the cauliflower fritters, which had heaps of flavour and came with a generous amount of dip. I also enjoyed the Turkish lamb meatballs. Deep fried halloumi looked and sounded more exciting than it tasted but a fun option on the menu nonetheless. Service felt a bit inexperienced and awkward but was otherwise fine.
What great food! Dolma: succulent pepper filled with rice pilaf-outstanding, and the pulled lamb that came with it was so juicy and filled with flavour. Also ordered the mezze: This was awesome. Every item on the mezze made sense when eaten together and oh so good! The Afana Kebab and Slow Cooked Lamb were amazing too. Apart from the food the decor and atmosphere is great in this restaurant.

We had gone there during Valentineโs Day so had not got the opportunity to try the Regular Menu. They had a special set Menu for Two.
The Location,Interior,Decor & Ambience is absolutely Amazing!!!!! It gives you the Mediterranean vibes. Love the lights and the whole atmosphere.
It was like a Fine dining experience.
We had tried the watermelon salad with feta, the meatballs for entree. In the Mains we had the Roast chicken & King prawns cooked in Turkish style. For dessert my favourite was the Turkish donuts served with ice cream.
Would love to visit here again to try the Mezze Platter and other yummy dishes.
Staff are amazing and so is their service! The food is to die for. Melt in your mouth meat and amazing platter! My partner and I are in love with this place!
HEAVEN. I took my mum here for lunch & we ordered a platter, king prawns, baklava & hot/cold drinks. The food is of great quality. The decor is beautiful. I will definitely be coming back here.
Loved the decor and the ambience of this restaurant and really enjoyed the food, which is a harmonious blend of Turkish and Greek cuisine. Everything we ordered was delicious, beautifully presented and well prepared. We had three dishes to share, and then dessert, which was a very big portion.
My favorite component out of all dishes was the pistachio ice cream, which was creamy and rich and absolutely decadent. See photos.
The service was quick, friendly and informative. The only thing I found odd was how the bathrooms were setup. I wonโt give it away. Keep the intrigue going.
Iโll certainly go back in the future.
Lovely tasty food and great service. We visited for lunch and ordered the special - lamb with couscous and a terakihi wrap. Both were delicious and generous portions. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. Beautiful interior design, love the colour scheme! Will be back to try the dinner menu.
This cafe is a great and authentic spot in the viaduct. I ordered the Potato Kombe and my friend ordered the Avocado on toast. The food was amazing, and the coffee was good quality also. Will definitely be making this a repeat visit whenever I am in the Viaduct in Auckland.
If it is a beautiful day....or not try and get a seat outside.... There is nothing nicer than a cool breeze, a beautiful view and lovely food.
I decided to start off with a turkish apple tea, very sweet but it was nice on a cold day. I have a soft spot for copper so I enjoyed the large planter outside.
My partner and I decided to share everything. The iskender was a stunning meal with the beef so tender, I would highly recommend this dish. The bean salad was a bit bland for me but was still enjoyable. I would definitely get Feriza's Mezze again... The beetroot humus was to die for and the slow cook lamb was faultless.
Overall a beautifully laid out restaurant, great location and nice staff.

Its some sort of high end turkish food with the most beautiful interior ever. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Food was okay but it can be better. Presentation and portion were also nice. Worth the money.
Best place to have Turkish/Greek food! Check out my review on my blog here. https://untitledinauckland.wordpress.com/2017/11/16/restaurant-review-ferzias-kitchen-cbd/

Came here for lunch on Sunday. Lovely restaurant with authentic Turkish menu. We shared the Mezze with lamb. Food and service was good and servings were generous.
Firstly the great stuff - friendly and efficient service, fab dรฉcor and the taramasalata on the Mezze platter was superb.ย Overall, all the meals we tried (and shared between 3) were tasty.ย My only real quibble was that 2 of the dishes we ordered - Calamari salad and the Slow Baked Lamb from the oven felt a bit protein light given the price tag.ย Nice place particularly on a sunny day, but could up the lamb/calamari portions in my opinion.
Delicious! Quick and delightful. I love the plush velvet chairs and the house red wine. Full bodied yet smooth and only $11 a glass. Highlights were the cheesey mushroom spinach wrap thing with tzatziki and the cauliflower fritters and the calamari salad.
GO HERE. Came for lunch Monday, ordered the chicken salad and the flavours were absolutely amazing. The lamb was tender and succulent & the sauces they use are so fresh and tasty. The cocktails are amazing too - must try! This place is definitely pricey but worth every cent in my opinion. Side note: the restaurant is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL even the bathroom is Insta worthy. โ

Today we had our breakfast at Feriza's. We tried several dishes and it was delicious and very friendly staff. Highly recommended this restaurant! ๐ฏ

Given the parking issue and endless roadworks around the Wynyard, we tend to avoid the area, but we ventured to Feriza's on Saturday night. No booking, the place was full, and all they could give us was seats at a counter. I was reluctant but my partner said to go for it so we sat at the kitchen counter. What a good choice! :-) It was fascinating to watch the dynamics of the chefs and waiting staff. (And the stools were surprisingly comfortable)
The food.......we started with a share of the Gozleme, a beef onion and cheese one. Yum!!!!! Very !!! And not too filling.For mains I had the Lamb Faloush Salad, and she the Iskender. My salad was ok; a little disappointing flavour-wise as I didn't seem to get any pomegranate flavour, but the meat was tender and flavoursome. Her Iskender was very good with vegies done to her taste (crunchy but cooked). For dessert I had the Loukoumades and she the Baklava. These were ok and whilst we know that Turkish/Greek sweets are exactly that, these perhaps were a little too sweet for our taste and we were thankful for the ice creams to counter that, and for a little of our wines to be left to clear the palate at the end. I guess that is how they are supposed to be served though, so this is purely a matter of personal taste. ย So, food good and fair value for money :-)
The drinks selection, beers at least, is limited and not being a craft beer drinker left me short of options for a beer. The wine list is ho hum but then these days it is hard to find value in a wine list.
The atmosphere at Ferizas is sensational. Being full helped immensely, but it has great decor and the service was faultless; really good.
All in all, a very good place to eat be it as a couple or as a group. Recommend, especially a seat at the kitchen counter !!!
(And the washrooms are VERY novel...... ย :-) ย ย )
Feriza's Kitchen is sucha contemporary modern twist to Turkish cuisine! Stunning decor and the ambience of ferizas is awesome! Date night for hubby and I we had the sigara borek with tzatziki sooooo good! Highly recommended followed by the chicken feast and Adana kebab. Super yum :) full of flavour. The service was great we also tried a couple of cocktails I liked the Bon appetea :)

Fantastic to have something new & different in Wynyard Quarter - particularly when the selection of great Turkish food in Auckland overall has been lacking. Feriza's Kitchen (& their 'sister' Deco in Titirangi) appear to have this nailed.
Occupying a site that has never done well unfortunately, a beautiful refit with clean clear lines & rich fabric along with a new enclosed outdoor area, Ferizas was buzzing on our visit. Whereas previously no reservation would have been necessary it pays to book if you want to guarantee your table.
Service was efficient (not so much engaging, but certainly not rude) and it was great to see a good amount of staff to keep things moving.
We tried a selection of dishes & all were enjoyed. It's not cheap, but if you are looking for quality & taste this is the place.
The souvlaki contained hot chips which was a hit with our party, and the lamb shoulder was so full of flavour & meltingly tender. The gozleme is a must try, and the pizzas looked delicious too. They're on our 'must try' for next time. They have a good beer & wine selection & also housemade limonata & the famous Turkish yoghurt drink as non-alcoholic options.
Again! Finally a decent Turkish restaurant in Auckland - something we had a flood of many years ago that had all but disappeared.
2nd time we have been here now and loved it just as much as the first time. Great staff. Great service. Value for money. Excellent food. Very yum. We will be back.
Top notch, really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and ease how to get there. Portions are big. We got a kebab platter for $60 for two and honestly has no chance of eating it all despite being hungry. Choice of kebabs and the meat was so tasty and tender. Chips and salad were perfect and the dips great. Good buzz around the place and if Turkish kebabs arenโt for you there are lots of other options nearby. Diverse clientele and would 100% come back. Would not find better .
came here during restaurant month for the 3 course meal. highlights were the grilled octopus, grilled skewers and the baklava. flavours were ๐, you can never go wrong with charcoal grilled meat. i was looking forward to tasting homemade hummus but unfortunately was really let down, even store bought hummus is better. flatbread too was dry and hard, possibly sitting out too long, not fresh? would go again just for the grilled skewers and baklava.
We had a teamโs Christmas lunch at this restaurant today, and the food was delicious. Though there were very few options for vegan, Portion sizes were sufficient for one person.
Such a lovely, intimate spot for dinner! I have never really been one for Turkish food, but this place changed my mind so quick.. I keep coming back for more! The Manti and the slow cooked lamb are to die for. Highly reccomend!
Very tasty food ๐คค - big portions so itโs easy to share with the group! The waitress who served us did a really good job and was trying her hardest, but unfortunately didnโt know much about the dishes served or what they were made of (which was important to us because of dietary requirements). It was a bit hard to navigate the menu, so extra knowledge wouldโve been helpful, but otherwise a good experience all around ~
Love this place! Everything is soooo delicious!!! Been there a few times and always great, big portions, cozy place, great location, incredibly tasty food! Here's how dolma with added lamb looks like:
Came here with my collective team tonight and ordered everything on the menu, hands down the food was flavorsome, great portion size, super affordable. The service was exceptional and the venue is a great space to hold groups of all sizes.
Recommend trying this restaurant.
Came there for dinner with friends. The food was mostly delicious. Just one person complained that the falafel was dry. I had a salmon with cauliflower and baby potatoes ๐ฅ which was delicious. But the rumor about the head chef being ๐ฎ๐ณ are probably true.
The service? This is a different story. Our waitress was as clueless as we could get. She knows nothing about the menu, and even when I asked for the only fish dish she didn't understand. The hosts were trying to move things along, but at some point we were told that they need the table. We left. It's not nice to spend money at a place where we are not wanted.
Good restaurant, the staff is amazing a lot of variety of food, seems all are delishuse food but my plate was so salty
