Cafe Istanbul, Wellington

One the best group places in Wellington. These guys are not fazed by 30 folk decending on them, they will deal with your group efficiently. OK so all the meals looks vaugely similar, but hey who cares. You have probably arrived pissed anyway and just want to gorge on something and talk crap to your mates...well weyhey..this is the place for you. Fine dining it is not, but I've been here many times and never had a bad experience. Big meals to fill up large lads - all good for a cheap night out.

go to -- wellingtonguide.blogspot.com You can find out more about where to find good food and not be duped by hyperbolic advertising. Save yourself fom food poisoning and find out where to go. Istanbul is fine.

Well, this place has one of the best feels in the city. The food is good and great value, especially as they do BYO.

Staff are kept busy but handle their sections really well. Theres a hot boy named Dallas that works there that is a pleasure to watch as that bit of eye candy while you eat a bit of turkish cuizine. The russian maitre'de was pleasent too.
