A'la Turka Turkish Barbecue & Grill Restaurant in Gateshead

Tried for nine days to book a table for tomorrow no one ever answer the phone. Can't find opening times anywhere. Bur it says open no one ever answer the phone

Been today with friends absolutely delicious 3 course 11.95 well worth it

Absolutely terrible over cooked meat from the barbecue, so told them I could not eat this and they took it away and brought me the exact same food back. Don’t waist your money 👎🏻

Staff and service spot on and food was beautiful full as 👍👍

Didn't enjoy this experience, waited nearly an hour just some baklava to take home when I was told it would be approximately half an hour, won't be in a hurry to go back 😖😖😖😖

Just had food delivered from a'la turka turkish barbecue and grill in Birtley and it was the most disgusting food i had ever had

Got the full mixed kebab to take away, cost £20, don't think it was anyway near value for money, really disappointed. Was expecting a lot better. Don't get me wrong it's the only thing I tried off their menu so it may be I just got a bad one time meal

Strange place to find a delicious Sunday roast. Ample portion, delicious tender beef served with Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes, lashings of rich gravy and a side of veg...what more could you want and an absolute bargain at £8.95 Will be returning soon to go through the traditional Turkish dishes on the extensive menu. Great welcome from friendly and efficient staff.

Very delicious food! Highly recommended 👍

I have ordered well over an hour ago, no answer on the telephone and no food delivered!!! You took my money though!!!!

My husband and I have eaten here on several occasions and the food has always been amazing. Today we called in for lunch and were not disappointed! We started with houmous and then I had Ali Nazik with chicken and my husband had a mixed kebab, with extra chilli sauce. We also ordered a portion of chunky chips and they were the best chips that we have eaten for a long time. The Waitress was lovely - very welcoming and friendly - and as we left she presented my husband with a complimentary pot of chilli sauce! Thank you for another lovely lunch - we will be back again soon.

Amazing food, Sunday dinners are worth it as well

Nice to visit with family and kids. It is a quite place and excellent Turkish food. We had Adana, Iskander, and Shish chicken, and dessert all of them fresh and tasty.

Was here with 3 other people and we all enjoyed the food would definitely recommend

Fantastic food at this restaurant and the staff and service could not have been better. Portions were amazing, plenty to eat, you won't come away hungry! Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious! Great tasting food and excellent service. Loved every mouthful

2nd time and excellent authentic food. Handy for premier Inn, travelodge and HI in Washington by taxi or 25 min walk.

Fabulous food never disappointed.

The food was good and the customer service was excellent.

Amazing tasty lovely turkish food and great service i had my take away delivered on time and restaurant quality too cannot fault

Just ordered mixed grill for 2 people £19,a rip off wouldn't feed 1 person, don't recommend, avoid unless you like being ripped off!!

Just been for our first Take away from A'la Turka and have to say we were not very impressed considering all the positive reviews that it has. Ordered a mixed shish and a Tandir Kebab the portion size of the mixed shish was very poor as we got 3 cubes of lamb and 3 cubes of chicken which were overcooked ( very dry ) and far too expensive at £13.95 was a rip off ! My Tandir kebab on the other hand had lots of lean lamb but was just like lamb in gravy from a Sunday dinner. Served with plain boiled rice. Have to be honest this was nothing like the food we have enjoyed in Turkey. So first visit will unfortunately be our last. Unimpressed!

Excellent meat quality. Especially loved Sunday lunch. Thanks 👏🏻

Tasty food, high quality ingredients, you won’t be disappointed 👍🏻

Beautiful tasting food, fresh and different.

Normally the food is great but we had a takeaway and the food lacked in flavour and they forgot parts of the order

Ordered on their app, was noted for 6,30 delivery, arrived 7,20 freezing cold, would not use again as I dont like cold food, very very disappointing

Hi, we've eaten in the restaurant before, but, this year, all food delivered, including Sunday lunch, has been amazing!

Had a takeaway delivery tonight food was delicious as always. Arrived hot and friendly. Love going to restaurant but delivery was just as good. Well done .

Today first time we ordered food and we're happy.Food so good! 👌👌

Lockdown treat. Tonight we ordered the sea bass, grilled chicken, a wrap and halloumi starter. Salad, Turkish bread, chilli sauce and rice all included. Very fast delivery! A free pizza arrived too. It was all tasty, fresh and hot. Quality Turkish food in the comfort of our home on a Monday night - fabulous. Very impressed and highly recommended.

Had a super Sunday dinner here today, very welcoming staff and very pleasant waitress. Will definitely go back

Very good Turkish food restaurant.

Myself and the family were disappointed in the quality of the food. The meat was tough and some staff really would benefit from some training.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Great service.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere great food

Excellent food and excellent service

Good food, friendly staff. Would recommend. Like an idiot I'd left something on my table as I left the restaurant. Could easily have been thrown out, but was kept safely for me behind the bar ready to collect when I got back there. Two thumbs up.

One of my favourite places to go!! The pizza and the meatballs are my favourite. Service is brilliant and they're happy to edit orders to suit when needed.

The standard of the food is fantastic the staff is great and friendly definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food, great service from friendly staff

Fantastic service, good food, all round the quality and standard is consistent and authentic. Lovely"Turkish" ambience expressed with the interior and decor of the restaurant. Give it a try guys, you shall not be disappointed.

Food is really good staff & service is also very good

Food and service is great. Puddings not so much.

Excellent as always, social distancing in place as well as hand sanitizer. Great food, friendly staff along with a lovely ambience. Well worth a visit!

Lovely starter and main course. Would definitely return. Did our bit to get the economy going again.Thanks for the £10.00 off Boris!

We have been ordering online during lockdown so that we can have a 'treat' and the food has been nothing short of amazing! My kids absolutely love the Margarita Pizzas and the special wraps are just unreal! It has been lovely still being able to have our favourites in the comfort of our own home. I would strongly recommend A la Turka to anyone.

Excellent, food very good, pleasant experience, will definitely go back

I recently went to this restaurant with a friend and was worried there would be nothing I could eat as I’m vegetarian. The waitress was friendly and told me the few vegan and vegetarian options that were available. Our food was served in good time and was tasty and plentiful.

Love the menu usually at A’la Turka but, tonight’s delivery was really disappointing to be honest! Very expensive for really bad food unfortunately.

Pre ordered and it was ready for when I got there and still hot. First time we have tried it and with out a doubt the nicest Turkish food I have had from a takeaway. Would defiantly recommend and will be back.

We normally get a curry from Saffron or Himilaya in Chester le Street. However, we thought we'd try something different so picked a few random items (two mains and two starters). Food was absolutely delicious, every item was cooked to perfection and full of flavour but also well balanced. Will be ordering again very soon.

Have always loved ala Turka, so decided to treat ourselves with a takeaway. Such a shame that food was so bad that I will never return, potato skins were hard and husband thought they were yesterday’s, rice was cold, garlic sauce was a changed recipe, and the lamb casserole was in need of recooking, lamb was hard and chewy and veg was raw. Was an expensive takeaway @£35 for two.

Visited on Tuesday for a take away pre ordered for collection at 16:15 Ordered starters of Patlican Ezme, avci boregi and potatoe skins , the Ezme was tasteless, the boregi was just warm enough to eat and the potatoe skins tasted like they'd been refried. Main courses were Beyti sarma, Adana and a Margarita pizza Husband enjoyed the Adana and daughter liked the pizza but my Beyti was so cold inside, I had to take it back. The man apologised and reheated the dish he said next time ask for the yogurt to be served separately, it was not the yogurt, the mince was cold We had been really looking forward to trying this place but unfortunately we were left very disappointed and definitely would not return, it does say under new management so maybe that has something to do with it, hopefully it will improve, the restaurant also smells musty.

Just had Sunday lunch delivered fantastic.Roast lamb mashed potato roast potatoes cabbage broccoli cauliflower carrots peas and gravy + Yorkshire pudding. The lamb just fell to pieces everything was perfect and plenty of it. One course £7-95 two courses £9-95 three courses £11-95. All including delivery.

We just had Sunday lunch delivered - 3x2 course meals... and it was fabulous!!! Just about in time, lots of fresh veg and the meat was just beautiful!!! Staff on the phone and the delivery driver were lovely!!!! Thanks so very much!!!

Best takeaway I've ever had when this climate changes and yi can go out again soon we'll be in for a meal.

Just had 2 Sunday lunches delivered,due to kindness of my oldest daughter Amy for mams day, absolutely lovely great quality highly recommended

Great service today with Sunday dinner delivery on very short notice. Thanks guys!

Went for lunch with friends. They had special lunch menus but we choose from ordinary menu. Food was freshly cooked and very hot and tasty. Would recommend.

Venue;; very clean, great atmosphere. Staff; friendly, helpful, welcoming. Menu; varied, lots to choose from Food; amazing, very tasty, really worth a visit!! Thank you A'la Turka

got a takeaway and it was beautiful. I had the fabulous dolma and my wife the Adana. definitely my new favourite take away. and reasonably healthy too

Lovely atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. Never disappoints

Had a great evening, along with some beautiful food.

Booked a table on the off chance for a Saturday night. The only thing that put me off was it was cash only on a weekend. Anyway we ordered the hot mixed plate of starters which came promptly. They were very tasty and filling. I ordered a mixed grill which was lovely. Mainly lamb and chicken with rice and chilli sauce. My wife ordered a lamb dish which was equally good. No room for puds. Drinks were £4 a pint as well as a g and t. Would definitely recommend

Fab food great prices will go back

Fantastic quality food. Top notch service.

Just had my first takeaway from A la Turka it was delicious garlic mushrooms and mixed shish. Service from ordering to delivery outstanding .

Some of the best Turkish food i have had absolutely good

Family Birthday treat for the granddaughter. Specials menu on till 6 so took advantage. Great food and service. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Beautiful food and great service in a gem of a place. Had the mixed chicken and lamb kebabs and the meat was cooked to perfection. Will be back soon!

Went tonight at 5.00pm with my son Tom 21 & daughter Becca 14, had happy hour 3 course meal.....food amazing, service fab, atmosphere lush , also had Sunday lunch here b4, highly recommend & will be back 😀😀😀

Lovely, quiet restaurant with amazing food and lovely staff. Amazing value for money too.

Fab service fab food will be back

I asked why anyone who is non-Muslim would request halal meat, the absolute best scenario I could imagine was that they didn’t object. And knowing that it costs more, it is more likely to be detrimental to the animals welfare and it imposes a religion on people who may not want it. I decided all should boycott.

Enjoyed menu, draught lager and cider. In early but soon got busy. Mixed kebab in wrap good. Chicken on bread too mild for me. Good portions - stuffed after starter and main. Struggled for parking. Weren't told when booking for Saturday night cash only - saw sign on door on way in. Asked for dessert menu never came nor did bill till 2nd ask. Average price. Handy for our hotel.

Well what can I say, 3 of us just called in got cheese garlic bread starter. Mixed chicken wrap, chicken stroganoff and a mixed grill. It was all very nice

Magnificent food and desserts I would definitely recommend going to this place

Had meal delivered very nice it was to will get again only problem is cash only for deliveries but still worth a try

Good food, excellent staff. They catered for our party of 28 people

Visited for my birthday in October, after hearing good reviews about this place. We live near so decided to try it. It was quiet when we visited at 5 but started to gradually get busier. We ordered three starters between us and they were all delicious and very filling. Very difficult to choose from the menu because there were so many delicious choices. We each had something different. Was very impressed by the meals we had. We would definitely return because there’s so many more meals I’d like to try.

I literally love this place. We’ve only ever had it to take away but I can’t grumble it’s so good. We always get hummus and bread to share and start. Then a chicken special wrap with mushrooms and onions and it’s absolutely lovely. It’s definite it’s my favorite type of takeaway. We still need to still in to see the restaurant itself and the service. Can not recommend takeaway enough.

Best tasting and best value Sunday lunch we've had in a long time, couldn't fault any of it! 👍

Went there for lunch mid week. The staff was absolutely brilliant, the food was very good. . There was 18 of us the meals came out together. The menu was very good plenty of choice. All the food was hot.

Food good; staff very friendly; decor dated.

Food is amazing , friendly staff and excellent service.

Sunday lunch is served between 12 and four we had a table booked for 330 but we arrived early we thought we’d have a beer in the bar to start with when we arrived we were greeted we are sorry but there is no food left we looked around the restaurant and there was nobody in surely a restaurant would cater for people coming for Sunday lunch I can’t believe they run out of food as we entered I noticed there was a sign which said cash only which made me a little bit

Beautiful food with fantastic service

Absolutely lovely food and service

Lovely atmosphere great food busy going through the menu to try everything

After a very early start this Saturday to get to the Great North Run 5km and Mini GNR we needed some good food. Where better than here?

Not the first time here and won't be our last. We always bring friends and family - food is amazing , never had a bad word for anything we have tried . It's all lovely , staff friendly and helpful . Love the place 😍

Alto nível de atendimento, cardápio super acessível. Bom preço, bom atendimento e pratos deliciosos.

A converted pub on the South Side of the main street in Birtley.

My new favourite place great food great staff

Absolutely fantastic - would recommend a trip here and will definitely be going back. Thanks to my sister Michelle and brother-in-law Hugh for the birthday treat

Amazing food. Lovely staff. Great little beer garden

Nice food and good pricing but they need to sort out some parking to encourage people to visit during the day

Nice meal but shocked they use chicken stock for the rice they serve with vegetarian casserole option! So had potatoes instead!

Second time we've visited and the quality it top notch! The lamb is phenomenal! Iskender is unbeatable, must try!
