Blak Shak Te Anau: Fresh Souvlakis, Bacon Butties, and Strong Coffee

Establishing itself in September 2024, Blak Shak brings an energetic, hearty food concept to the lakeside destination of Te Anau. Conveniently situated in the Town Centre directly beside the local pharmacy, this cosy shop has quickly built a reputation among town residents and travellers exploring Fiordland.

Signature Souvlakis and Honest Comfort Food

The marquee draw at Blak Shak is its New Zealand-style souvlaki wraps. Prepared fresh to order, options like the chicken souvlaki and vegetarian souvlaki provide a warm, portable, and flavour-packed meal designed for picking up on the go. Customers consistently highlight the generous fillings, balanced sauces, and soft wrap bread that make these wraps a standout takeaway in Te Anau.

Alongside the souvlakis, the kitchen turns out hearty bacon butties that capture traditional Kiwi comfort food. Whether enjoyed as a fast breakfast alongside a flat white or a casual midday snack, the butties remain a straightforward, unfussy crowd favourite.
