Kebab and Pizza Putaruru is a Turkish restaurant at 75 Princes Street in the heart of Putāruru, South Waikato, holding a strong 4.7 Google rating from diners.
A good Turkish kebab shop lives or dies by the spit: meat marinated and stacked in layers, carved to order so each wrap gets the crisp, well-browned outside rather than slices that have been sitting in a tray. The signs regulars look for are fresh bread, salads made daily and sauces that taste homemade, and the busiest hours are often when everything is at its freshest. Places that pair kebabs with pizza are a small-town New Zealand tradition, giving families a middle ground when one person wants a mixed kebab and the other a pepperoni.
Sitting on Putāruru's main street, this is an easy stop for locals and anyone passing through the South Waikato.
