Bodrum Market

About Bodrum Market

Bodrum Market is the rooftop dining destination at Westfield Newmarket, set on Level 4M above one of Auckland's busiest shopping precincts. Its interior takes its cues from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and the streets of Bodrum City, and its stated mission is simple: to transport diners to the Mediterranean and beyond without leaving Auckland. It is one of three Bodrum venues in the city, alongside Mission Bay and New Lynn, but the Newmarket site has a character of its own.

The kitchen is deliberately on show. Open-concept cooking spaces centre on an open charcoal grill and a manuka-wood pizza oven, giving diners what the team calls a real-life Chef's Table episode — smoke, flame and fresh flatbreads in full view.

The menu travels widely across the Mediterranean and beyond: mezze platters with hummus, muhammara, dolmades and falafel; charcoal-grilled plates like Jordanian lamb doner, cherkez chicken, ali nazik and Greek meatballs; pide and pizza from the wood oven, including lahmajun; seafood such as harissa prawns and market fish; and desserts like traditional baklava. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are clearly marked, and a bottomless brunch plus set menus for functions and events (minimum 12 guests) make it easy to settle in whatever the occasion.

The bar keeps pace with house cocktails, a signature gin and tonic list, spritzes, a full mocktail menu, New Zealand and international wines, and draft and bottled beer. Reservations can be made through the Bodrum website, by phone on 09 600 2631, or by emailing newmarket@bodrum.co.nz.

Bodrum Market: Mediterranean Rooftop Dining at Westfield Newmarket, Auckland

Bodrum Market occupies Level 4M of Westfield Newmarket, the rooftop dining level above one of Auckland's busiest shopping precincts. Step out of the lift and the mall recedes: the room takes its cues from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and the streets of Bodrum City, all part of the restaurant's mission to transport diners to the Mediterranean and beyond. It is one of three Bodrum addresses in Auckland — sibling venues sit in Mission Bay and New Lynn — but the Newmarket rooftop has a character all of its own.

A kitchen on show

Rather than hiding the cooking, Bodrum Market puts it centre stage. The open-concept kitchen features an open charcoal grill and a manuka-wood pizza oven, and the team describes the effect as letting patrons experience a real-life Chef's Table episode. Smoke, flame and the scent of fresh flatbread are part of the room, whether you are settling in for a long dinner or ducking up from a day of shopping.

Mezze, charcoal and wood-fired pide

The menu travels widely across the Mediterranean and beyond. Most tables start with mezze: the vegetarian mezze platter piles hummus, tzatziki, muhammara, dolmades, falafel, cauliflower fritters, olives, feta and mixed pickles alongside flatbread and pide, while the meat platter for two brings Turkish-style grilled meats — İskender lamb, chicken skewers, beef meatballs and fried chicken — with dips and pickles.

Mains lean on the charcoal. The Jordanian lamb doner is the signature plate: İskender lamb with hummus, salsa, almonds, feta and flatbread. Cherkez chicken arrives as a roasted leg with walnut tarator sauce and chickpea rice pilaf; ali nazik pairs beef short rib with an eggplant and yoghurt dip; Greek meatballs come in tomato and oregano sauce; and market fish is dressed with muhammara, olives, capers and salsa verde. Smaller plates run from Turkish fried chicken and harissa prawns to halloumi chips, loaded hummus, fattoush and Greek salad.

The wood oven handles the pide and pizza list — margherita and chicken and cranberry through to lahmajun, the Turkish street pizza with spiced lamb mince, tomato and rocket — plus sujuk and egg pide and a spicy Mediterranean pide. Dessert is baklava with pomegranate parfait or an orange blossom brûlée. Vegetarian and vegan eaters are well catered for, with dishes clearly marked across the menu.

The bar above Broadway

The drinks list keeps the theme. House cocktails include the Evil Eye — Bacardi, Malibu, peach schnapps, blue curacao and cranberry — alongside Cappadocia, Elixir and Memento Mori. A signature gin and tonic trio is built on Scapegrace, Hendricks and The Botanist, and there are spritzes, a proper mocktail list, New Zealand wines, draft beer and bottled beer and cider.

Brunch, functions and easy booking

Weekends start early: doors open at 10am on Saturdays and Sundays, an hour ahead of weekdays, and a bottomless brunch is available for longer late mornings. Bodrum Market is also set up for occasions, publishing dedicated set lunch and dinner menus for functions and events with a minimum of 12 guests, running from shared mezze through mains to dessert.

Reservations are straightforward — complete the form on the Bodrum website, call 09 600 2631, or email newmarket@bodrum.co.nz with special requests or larger bookings. A couple of practical notes before you go: a 2.5% credit card and PayWave surcharge applies, a surcharge may apply on public holidays, and while the kitchen takes reasonable steps to accommodate dietary needs, it cannot guarantee allergen-free dishes.
