Cafe Eminem is a family-friendly restaurant at 94 Broadway Avenue in central Palmerston North, serving a blend of home-style Turkish and Italian cooking. The menu runs from kebabs and Iskender-style chicken with rice to pizza, pasta, gnocchi, burgers, wraps and chips, with garlic cheese bread and falafel among the sides. The restaurant says it cooks with 100 per cent vegetable oils and offers preservative-free options, and customers describe the food as halal. You can eat in or take away, and some customers order through Uber Eats. Customers praise the warm welcome, fast service, generous portions, tender meat and fresh salads, and several say the air-conditioned dining room is pleasant. Others are less keen. One found the falafel dry and bland, another thought the rice outweighed the chicken in a large Iskender, and a third ordered a pasta that came without chicken and felt short-changed. The garlic bread is seen as pricey. One customer put a meal for two at roughly $25 a head, which they called average for New Zealand. Our pick in Palmerston North for a family meal of kebabs and pizza in town.
