This is our favourite kebab shop. Mixed kebab w mild chilli and garlic yogurt for me. Fresh salad and super tasty. Kids like it too - even my boy who doesn’t usually eat salad 😜
What I miss most about wellington. I lived across the lights in the apartments and this was our go to lunch stop. Pop across the road and get the chicken and falafel pita. AMAZING the pita bread is delicious and the best falafel I've ever tired.
Cafe laz is a good little turkish kebab house located in newtown. Enjoyed their chicken kebabs and mixed iskenders. Falafels were pretty dry. But overall good meal for the price.
Always great food from here, but the previous incarnation run by a Kurdish man was far superior. This has less options than its predecessors but it a solid performer. Have tried a number of the different fillings in both kebab and salads and each has been good rather than great. The combo option is brilliant! Meat options are tasty and so are the vegetarian ones. Recommend..

Awesome kebabs!! Best I've had in Wellington.
Would recommend satay,garlic yogurt with mild chilli for the sauces!
Definitely don't be fooled by its setup and has lovely service :)
Must try!
REALLY REALLY good kebabs, just great flavour and the freshest fillings you could want. Kids love them too. I am gluten free but ruin that once in a while for these kebabs. Friendly staff too and recently redecorated interior. You guys should try and get a gluten free wrap, I'm keen to try it (can even bring my own if that's ok!!). Great freshly cooked falafel here too!
These have to be the best vegetarian kebabs in Wellington. Fantastic flavours and lots of lovely fresh salad ingredients. Don't let the outside put you off. You won't be disappointed.
Highly recommended by a very fussy kebab eater!
One of my favourite cheap eats.
Perfect every time! Absolutely love this place. Quality food, sauces and fillings. Iskenders so good. No crappy Kevabs like the joints on Courtenay Place!
The family business is solid and has never slumped in their desire to make a good meal.
Beautiful!!!!
We've eaten here on a number of occasions. Really fresh tasty food, good vegetarian options and value. A bit run down,but clean.
The building is a bit run down, but don't let this put you off. The food is excellent. We had mixed vegetarian kebabs, baklava and apple tea. The ingredients were very fresh, staff were friendly and the had an "Excellent" grade council food hygiene certificate.
Good vegetarian selection.
If you think food court Kebab's are good you probably won't like Cafe Laz. You probably won't recognise the taste. I've tried every Kebab house in Wellington and loads in other parts of Wellington region and none come close to this place. Everything is made fresh and the flavours are beautiful. The owners are lovely too. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favour and try the mixed Vegetarian. I've turned carnivores veggie at this place! It's that good.
Love Love Love this place!
I am moving overseas soon and Cafe Laz will be what I miss most about Wellington.
We are always greeted with a smile and the owners seem to take pride in what they do. Personally, I think the shish plates are the best thing on the menu, but it all looks good.
Thanks guys for doing such a great job!
Just moved to Wellington and was very happy to find this cafe down the road. The service was great (with smiles) and the food was delicious, prices were reasonable too. Highly recommended!
Livery Turkish meals - tasty flavours with a wide range of dishes.
The portions are large with each plate coming with dips and sauces.
Not your usual run of the mill Turkish restaurant.
Licensed and BYO.
Large seating area at the rear - can seat groups.
Best kebab shop in the town. Amazing service and very delicious food. Shawarma and its mayonnaise are priceless. Chicken kebab is also equally good. 10/10.
OMG this is the best Falafel Iskender I have ever tasted! We could tell at the outset it was going to be good as the place was buzzing with a steady flow of customers arriving. The staff took it in their stride and provided quick prompt service. I’m looking forward to my next visit!
One of our fave treats... always scrumptious, always filling and great hardworking people. Super kid friendly.
Had amazing experience at Cafe Laz Newtown, especially the blonde staff member? not sure her name, but she was amazing! Had to give her a tip, I had a Mixed Kebab with Extra Onion, and wow! A burst of succulent flavours, coated my taste buds with an emotional roller coaster, I bow my hat to you all, the best food I’ve ever eaten.
Great place to catch up for lunch. Kababs can be a little bit hit and miss when it comes to what salads they put in. But compared to many kabab shops in Lower Hutt this place is far better!
Excellent food, excellent service.
I regularly come here for a mixes eskender, two extra falafel, mild chilli, yogurt and tahini.
They've never failed to deliver great food and service.
Excellent quick service and tasty fresh food. Definitely recommended. Falafel was fantastic and the Iskender sides were very tasty. Halal as well, masha'Allah.
Yummy mixed salad and Kebab. Fresh vegetables and good variety of sauce.
After a stressful day of pedantically writing my geography report, I attended my sisters graduation, where she became sore in her elbow and at the end she had a big lump covering her elbow and half her forearm. We frantically took her to the after hours in Newtown, and were told it would take an hour to see the doctor. At which my point, my parents and I footed it down the road to this place and left my sister and her bf at the afterhours. And man, this place was a Turkish Delight ;) with quick service, friendly staff and fresh food. On top of this, while we were eating, they played some bangers from Adele, Arctic Monkeys and Taylor Swift. After this we profusely thanked the staff before running back down the road to my disgruntled sister. Thank you Cafe Laz for being my saving grace on such a rough day!!!!!
Nice place to have a Turkish kebab 🥙🍢
Our favourite go to place for delicious Turkish food for over 20 years! Fresh salads and
Amazing food. A must visit in the Newtown area.
Beautiful Turkish food. Presentation was great. They give a great amount of sauces for my İskender. Definitely try this. Staff were lovely. Looks like a family run business (not too sure) and I am definitely willing to come back again. Beautifully decorated with photos of Turkey. What a beautiful country.
Ive being in and out of cafe laz for maybe 20 years and ive had amzing food here and arrage food but todays Vegi iskander was Bloody amazine, please keep up this quality of food and service i will be recomending his to every one as the best in Newtown.
