Dajko's Kilim Cafe Napier

The food was absolutely exquisite, but it's the staff's kindness and their commitment to inclusivity that truly sets this place apart. I ordered the Mixed Shish (Lamb and Chicken Skewers, this comes with a fresh salad. I got the hot chilli and yoghurt, (a fantastic sauce combination), and rice. The hot chilli was so flavourful and spicy) The taste was unbelievably good. Made with great skill and care. This wasn't just a pleasant meal; it was one of the best dining/takeout experiences of my life. Thank you for making me feel so welcome. This is, without a doubt, the best restaurant I've visited! Definitely would go here again!

We got the spicy cevapi and they were amazing. If you like spice like me, you will notice that they are not spicy, but they are tender and full of flavor. They are amazing. We also had chips and a sampler appetizer plate. All were good. One note: it did take a very long time for the food to come out. The place seems to be run by a family (there was an adorable child taking orders) and they do seem popular. Don’t stop by if you are in a hurry.

Great food! Great service! Came in with a smile, went out satisfied and still smiling. The hot chili sauce was so nice! Must try: their Pljeskavica Burger and chicken skewers!

The chicken iskender and kebab were flavourful! Highly recommended! I can’t tell though about the baklava it is sweet but I found it a bit dry. The service was fast as we came before the evening gets busy.

We had come earlier in the year around Jan/feb and have not come across another Turkish spot like this. We are from Auckland and can’t find another that beats this. My brother recommended this place to us and it’s well worth the money the atmosphere mood and aura this place gives off is amazing and look forward to coming to the bay again to eat at this amazing restaurant

The absolute best kebab I’ve ever had from a Turkish shop. Hot chips are nice and golden crunchy, seasoned well, food was fresh, just a genuinely awesome feed. Will be back.

The food and service at Kilim were excellent! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back (when we visit Napier again)!

Highly recommend! Good authentic food, nice interior. All dishes tasted good, generous portions and acceptable prices. Kids liked this place as well. My teenager enjoyed the fish burger, which looked impressive. And the little one amazed me by eating everything till the end, as he is a picky one and will not eat what he doesn't like. Both of them finished with an ice cream. (Just look at this beautiful presentation) I was lucky to find out about this place.💙🧿
