Really good sized Iskender meal for the price and the chips were crispy. The chicken, however, was dry. Despite that I'll be back.

Great value. So fast! We had kebabs and they were big, fresh and delicious. The hot chilli sauce hits the spot without being bitter. We will definitely be stopping here again on our way through

If your in the mood for Turkish this is the spot! All the classics from falafel through iskanders. Meat and chicken is good and they even have a venison option. Its a family run restaurant that serves the community well.

Amazing Turkish. You must try the chips! The pizzas are amazing, the kebabs are amazing. Really nothing you can fault about the guys. Ownership seems to change hands often but I can't really comment on that and haven't noticed much of a change it quality.

Delicious kebabs, always made to a high standard. The chips are amazing, definitely grab some to share between 2 as the seasoning on them are uber addictive.

Top kebab shop.

For a top quality take away this place hits the spot both kebabs and iskanders are great.

Chips are awesome with some special salt on the chips that really lift the taste.

Lots on the menu so many more options than a Normal kebab shop.

They don't skimp on servings, sauce or seasoning! Slightly pricey but worth it for the amazing and tasty food, very clean and plenty of seating. Huge variety of things on the menu and the only Turkish restaurant in Upper Hutt, great and friendly customer service, highly recommend.

Very clean, nice service and the kebabs are one of the best Iv had. The kebabs are full to the brim and very tasty. The fries are very large but with the paprika seasoning and the oil they use for the fries are great!

Very nice and clean inside. They have a monopoly on Turkish food in Upper Hutt at the moment though, so prices are a little steep. I have found that the food here is consistent, which is good. Once you've had it, you can expect to have it exactly the same again.

Nice place, nice staff and really nice Turkish food.  Downside is the price as that is a little on the high side.  I would recommend this place though as it is friendly and good quality fresh food is served.

Very great place, we don't have any other Turkish competitions in the Upper Hutt area. Based on Main Street which is very central.

I went today to grab myself and my Partner a meal pick up as we were a little hung over.

I ordered the chicken iskender meal and got my partner the mixed meal. Both came to 38 dollars and we both cannot finish the meal as they completely fill the plastic container up.

Food was delicious and just what we needed.

Very nice food, but after they got a phone order wrong, we took to going in to make an order. I think 4 out of 5 times, they STILL got it wrong. I went without this evening!

First time I tried since the old owners, well I didn't even know there were new owners actually. I had a chicken kebab with cheese, garlic yoghurt and hummus, it was the best tasting one ive had. The rest of the menu looks great too next time looking forward to trying the chicken pizza.

Really pleasantly surprised. Very clean restaurant/takeaway with reasonably priced meals considering everything is fresh and tasty. I feel confident recommending to friends and family as the meals have been consistent.

Delicious vegetarian kebab options and a variety of food in general. The servers tend to be quite good at listening to dietary requirements but depends on the day/server. I'd recommend watching just in case!

We are regulars now that we discovered the beautiful home made pizzas - with a great turkish taste. The base is made on on site and the toppings are amazing - I would recommend the chicken pizza - forget Pizza Hutt and Dominoes - these pizzas are fresh, health and filling and only cost $13!
The mixed kebabs are so moist and tender - highly recommend.
The new owners under the name of ZARA are professional, friendly and very quick
Highly recommend

I love this place - especially the Iskanders, which are amazing. I especially love the fact that no two Iskanders are the same. My partner and I order the same think but he gets different salads than I do - love it.

Tonight we got a wood fired venison Turkish Pizza - amazing, no more Hell Pizza for me. There guys rock and I would def. recommend. The pizza was hot, crisp and fresh, cheesey, meatie, tomatoie, herbie...we got takeaway and it took no longer than 10 minutes to be ready.

Very friendly staff who remember you when you come back.

Well if you like kebabs this is the place to go! My wife and me have been quite regular customers, starting off with the previous owners when the place was called Arzum's. Good value, friendly staff, and best of all it's a no-nonsense fast way to enjoy a good meal out. Zara's is popular with the locals, if the steady flow of customers is anything to go by.
We both enjoy a good kebab, and for years that's all we had. In recent months we've been trying their pizzas, and whilst it may be a Turkish café, the pizza is just yum!
No doubt we'll get around to trying the rest of the menu in due course.

Ordered a kebab meal and it was the best kebab I have ever had. So filling, lots of meat and the chips were so crunchy. 100% would recommend!

Along with usual doner kebabs and Iskenders, Zara's sell pizzas, desserts, coffee and tea, vegetarian options, and open faced burgers served with oven baked Turkish bread - these I can't wait to try. Update: the open-faced burger was served on a standard burger bun, not Turkish bread as advertised. The patties are thin and don't look like anything special. Very disappointing 👎 still for $18, the meal (see photo) is still a good deal. Unlike other Turkish kebab cafés in Wellington, Zara's large doner kebab is actually a large and worth the $13 price. Everything else on the menu is $20 or less. Very busy night, but customer service was never rude. So far the only Turkish Kebab Takeaway in Wellington I want to return to.

Good and delicious kebabs. My wife and I have tried chicken donor kebab, enjoyed it very well. The sauces are really good. First time I enjoyed a kebab in wellington. Would recommend it. If you are looking for dine-in, reserving a table would be a good idea as the place is quiet busy. The staff was very friendly. Definitely I will visit again to try different items in the menu.
