Kebab Hut in Newcastle upon Tyne

An Arabic restaurant with a great location and serving molasses

We went here because it is the nearest restaurant to The Globe music venue (and the Arena), and we wanted a quick and simple meal before going to a gig. The meal was neither quick nor simple but I'm giving Alsham a five star review because the food was so good. The reason it took a while to come is because everything is freshly prepared ... and you could really taste that. We had four vegetarian dishes and each one was bursting with flavour. No alcohol is served but there is an excellent range of freshly made fruit juices. It was a warm evening and we sat outside (a rare opportunity in Newcastle) in a traffic-free street (also rare). We will definitely eat there again.

I had a wonderful experience at Hatem Restaurant in Newcastle! The food was absolutely lovely — full of flavor and beautifully presented. The highlight for me was the kanafa — it was truly amazing, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft, cheesy, and sweet on the inside. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern food with a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

Has apparently been closed for a few years now. I went to check today and there is only a sign remaining.

Always go there for my wrap. Delicious food!
