Cafe Midnight Express

The Verdict

Conveniently located in the heart of Auckland City, Cafe Midnight Express serves up some of the most delicious and authentic Turkish and Mediterranean food. We recommend starting with a mezze platter followed by their tender lamb shank and finishing with their oh-so popular sticky date pudding. If you're lucky, the resident belly dancer will have you off your chair grooving before your entree arrives. Pro tip: make sure you call ahead and make a reservation for weekends—this place is packed for a reason.
