We went with friends on the way home from a gathering, we enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere. Our meal was ordered and arrived promptly, the waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The only criticism I would make is that because of the wooden floors the noise level can be quite high.

My wife and I enjoyed a good meal at Kilim. The menu is like one your Mum would put together, full of great home baked family treasures - plenty of love a care goes into each dish. The food was of excellent quality and there was certainly lots of it. This is a restaurant we will return to when next... More

Tried it after searching for middle eastern restaurant in Napier, turned out the best dinning experience in days! Great value for tasty food, mixed grill & a starter were well prepared in large portions. Do not forget the obvious for those with sweet tooth, Turkish baklava & Turkish coffee :)

I have dined in here a few times but prefer the takeaway option for Kilim, the food is good and well priced and the staff are friendly. But must stress its not a great restaurant as people walk through the diners to get to the counter. Will stick to this place for takeaways but not to dine in.

This is a gem for foodies....193 Hastings Street, Napier. Just found it when out walking the Art Deco streets of Napier. We love Turkish food and the results of what is placed on your plate, whish is flavoursome and fresh. Visitors will be glad they walked through the door and sat down to order!!

Locals reccommended it and we decided to go for a takeaway. Food was good, large portions and relatively good value, although most things in NZ seem very expensive. Would reccommend.

Don't let the prices fool you - the food is excellent and unless you have a very large appetite share a dish with a friend.
