A small Turkish eatery at Salt Rock
Café Turka is a Turkish eatery at Salt Rock Shopping Centre in Ballito, on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast. Its signature is the döner kebab — lamb or chicken, with the meat prepared fresh daily — alongside falafel, homemade baklava, Turkish coffee and waffles.
What Café Turka is known for
From the café's own posts and press coverage, the kitchen focuses on a short Turkish menu done well: döner kebabs in lamb or chicken, falafel, homemade baklava and Turkish coffee, with waffles for something sweet.
There isn't a full menu online yet, and the menu changes — so the quickest way to order is to build an order and call or text it through, or simply call for today's menu.
