Kuzey Turkish and Mediterranean Restaurant, in South Tyneside

First time we have ordered from here but it won't be the last. the food was delivered earlier than expected and was piping hot. Very tasty and enough food to feed probably 4 people. Great service

What a great place, we had a large family dinner celebration. We all had a great time and the food was fantastic. There were 14 of us for dinner, and the kitchen coped very well. All food came out hot. We had a great time and we will be going back again

driver missed the door, He was very apologetic.

Great food and cheerful service. Best lamb chops around!

Was excited to go, as the last time was great but this time not so much. Although staff were attentive, it was overkill! Food was okay but salad looked cheap and sorry for itself. Had chicken dish which was dry and bland. Not likely return.

Food was very good, only dissapointment was the portion size on the small side but would likely order again, very good delivery time

Stated garlic sauce was tasted sour and wasn’t right. End up getting a lecture by the staff basically saying I am wrong. The fried piece tasted a bit sour as well. Hummus isn’t homemade. You’re better off going to Turkish kebab house for cheaper and tastier food.

Great lamb chops as always. Fast and cheerful delivery. Thanks 😊

disappointed. has always been good but tonight it was bland, tough, chicken shish was pitiful. unfortunately we could make better. shame when it's normally so good.

Delivery service and food was perfect as always 5* throughout

Been for the first time tonight, for my grandson's 18th, not only was the food amazing, but the staff were fantastic the young lad who greeted us when we went in was so friendly and helpful so much I had to mention it to the owner can't wait for another family meal 😀

Lovely food as always from Kuzey, fresh, hot and very tasty.

Lovely food and loads of it. Very friendly staff. They ran out of Prosecco though! Would love to come back sometime if I am ever back in South Shields

Food was really well wrapped and nice and hot! Every item was delicious The delivery driver is always early or on time with our food and always polite and friendly I would highly recommend this restaurant as they were perfect throughout thank you

Great food lovely staff good price

Delicious food. Awesome service. One of the best local restaurant.

We have been visiting this restaurant to celebrate family birthdays and enjoyed every one of our visits however on our last visit in June something was missing. The food was still good but the atmosphere had changed tremendously there had been major staff changes and the sparkle has now gone which is unfortunate. Nothing now different from any of the other Turkish eateries in the area.

First time at Kuzey. What took us so long. Best Turkish restaurant in the North East. Manager is a fantastically nice guy, so hospitable and friendly. We had the falafel and hummus and the kisir, for starters, both were delicious, served with fresh bread. Then for mains we had the lamb ribs and the chicken Shish, both served with pilaf rice and very fresh salad, all fantastic. All washed down with draught Efes. This will become a regular night out. Thanks for a great night.

Absolutely fabulous service Food was fantastic Staff were lovely

Lovely place very nice food and staff very friendly

We have wanted ro try this place for a long time, but due to work /family haven't always the time . Tonight we came for the first time the food was absolutely mouth watering. The service Impeccable. Thankyou.

Meal was delicious and authentic. Staff so friendly will definitely be returning

Perfect meal. We've turned in without booking on Thursday night and we're seated straight away. Although there were few big parties already there, our starter has arrived very quickly. We were told that we might wait for the mains a little bit, but we didn't have to wait long. Service is excellent.

Lovely meal, staff attentive and very reasonably priced.

Friendly welcome and quickly directed to our seats. Food was excellent, large plates of Turkish meals. Very reasonable, complementary range of starter free. A 10% discount was offered if paid in cash.

I went with my family for a great dinner on Saturday night. The food was exceptional and fresh. The pricing was great value for the huge plate of food. The staff were great and friendly. A great place and we will be going back

Amazing food and fast delivery

This was the tastiest takeaway we’ve had in a very long time. Chicken and lamb was amazing and really good portion sizes even the salad was tasty! First time we’ve ordered from here but will be back!

Have been to Kuzey twice recently, first as a party of two, we popped in just to try the place, shared 4 starters and 2 drinks - an apple tea and a Turkish offer, which are both delicious and walked down the park with a takeout bakalava, service and food were both fantastic. Then having recommended it to a mate we came for her birthday a few days later and it was a roaring success, we were about 8 people, everyone thoroughly enjoyed everything they had, including our groups vegetarian :) Staff are lovely and hilarious, helped us talk photos and joked with us, combined with amazing food and the great atmosphere - I'd deffo recommend it for anyone wanting an authentic taste of Turkish food Can recommend most all of the starters, the kuzey mixed grill was had by three and all three complimented it highly, and definately the lamb iskender which was accompanied by beautiful thick suzmi Turkish yoghurt, a new favourite of mine - Thanks Ramazan (sorry if I've spelt it wrong!) And ofc the bakalava!!! Deffo worth a try

Great food we had mixed grill the lamb and chicken were perfect, salad is beautiful best turkish food in the town

Refreshingly great spot. Popped in to order a take away. Lovely couple of young staff and the restaurant looked great. Ordered chicken dishes, one lamb and a couple of starters. Everything was top notch. Great fresh salads, lovely sauces, well cooked rice and quality meats. So often the meats let places down. Not here. Excellent quality and beautifully cooked. AND very generous portions. We will be back within the week for another visit. Tried most of the Turkish restaurants in the north east and delighted that we’ve got such a brilliant one in South Shields. You could pop in order and then grab a drink at the Marine while you wait. Highly recommended.

Having never had authentic Turkish food before I was really happy with what we had, the hot platter was amazing & the mixed grilled meat with rice was excellent (the lamb chops were sublime). Will without a doubt be returning and bringing more people!

Absolutely delicious and surprisingly authentic. Meat is super tender and flavourful. Wish they had dips with it that’s all.

So tasty, the wrap was amazing. I like the salad and the bread is special.

tiny portions freezing cold and rotten never again

Ordered food tonight and part of the order was incorrect (ordered no mushrooms on a wrap) called up and within a very short space of time the driver returned with a new correct fresh order, thank you, mistakes happen it’s how you correct them that is important) these guys resolved very quickly and with sincere apologies. Food is very good thank you

My wife and I came across this place on a Saturday evening in a recent trip to South Shields from Bradford. We were met with a very friendly smile, and showed to our table. The staff could not do enough for us. You could also tell they enjoyed working there which was so nice to see. The sharing starter came out first, in very good time. It looked and tasted absolutely incredible. I would definitely recommend it. The price was very reasonable too for what we got! The main courses were equally as enjoyable. I got the mixed grill and my wife got a mixed shish. These too were so tasty and fresh. Again everything came out in very good time. The atmosphere was so nice and relaxed, the background music was good, and on a street where the majority is curry houses (which we see alot of in Bradford!) It was nice to see a unique restaurant! We payed in cash and got 10% off the bill for the effort, which they offer to every customer who pays this way, which also helps them avoid hefty fees from banks which we are all for! We'd definitely visit again if in the area and would recommend to anyone! The food was so tasty we forgot to take photos!!

Fantastic food and service and at a very good price.i will definitely be returning to this restaurant 👍

Lovely food. (If you like meat, I highly recommend the lamb chops) Well priced. (They kept the prices the same, even on Valentines night) And the staff are so helpful and friendly. A great place to eat.

Me & my friend came here on a Sunday afternoon. Restaurant is beautiful inside. We shred a starter then had a main each. Food was beautiful & staff were lovely & friendly.

Really delicious food and plenty of choice. Friendly staff

Arrived on time however was cold. Bread under each kebab was extremely soggy. Restaurant prices for cold, soggy food

food is amazing never had an issue love the food here

Lovely, tasty hot food as always. Thanks 😊

We were a family party of 14, age range 10 - 80. Everyone of us had fantastic food, served by friendly staff. We will definitely return. Also great value.

Really nice meals delivered on time

Excellent food served by friendly and attentive staff. Thank you 😊

Good food, service was just right lovely evening

Food was outstanding and service was excellent. There’s a good range of options on the menu. Good value for money. Whole heartedly recommend and will definitely be going back soon.

Fabulous. We had no trouble booking in for a large party same day, and I really don't understand why this place isn't much busier. Seems a really different kind of menu for the area -- tucked among curries and takeaways. Everything was super fresh, pacing of the courses was spot on, drinks never empty. Chicken shish was delicious, especially paired with the cucumber garlic yogurt dip. Wish I'd thought to ask for that for the falafel because I know that would have complemented those so well. Owner is very involved and hands on, incredibly personable and sweet to the children in our party.... Even brought out dessert with a candle for the bairns birthday. Highly recommend this restaurant. Also gives a cash discount! Love that!

Visited 22nd Dec, hadn't been to this restaurant for a while. The restaurant is very relaxing, clean, nice decor. Starters were tasty and generous. Mains were delicious, I had chicken and the other half had lamb, the meat was cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed our visit, will return.

Lovely meal from Kuzey as usual. Thank you.

Excellent food yet again. Love this place and thank you so much!

Fantastic food! Great attentitive owner, will be back...

Great food. Piping hot and tasty as always. Thanks 🥳

Fantastic evening amazing food beautiful surroundings and friendly attentive staff,first visit will definitely be back

An amazing authentic feast. Top notch. Highly recommend.

Shared a hot platter with my wife. Beautiful food. Served with three of everything. I have prong marks in the back of my hand when we were fighting for the food. Had moussaka for my main course. Enormous portion. Made a special effort to finish it. Can’t wait to go back!

Lovely meal and delivered by a friendly driver. Thank you!

Expensive , ordered mixed kebab, was 4 pieces of chicken that were very dry , 2pieces of lamb , they were nice , rice accompaniment was bland , salad accompaniment was nice but tiny amount, £14 … paid extra for Turkish Bread £2 and garlic sauce £1 , they were ok

Absolutely love this place food is spot in service too thank you for a great night xx nat and Scott

Fantastic service and great food. We were a party of 5 plus a baby in a pushchair absolutely soaked through after the Great North Run looking for a place to shelter from the rain and wait for the Metro to reopen. The staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful even when we literally left pools of water on their floor! The food was excellent as well - both tasty and very generous proportions ! Thank you to all the staff for being so good and for letting our bedraggled party in out of the rain - you were amazing !

Overcooked Lamb Chop which was burnt, dry chicken and lamb as overcooked also, a lot of this was unfortunately inedible, salad was nice and fresh and tasty though

The team were so hospitable to us after my cousin and her friend had completed the great North Run. The food was fantastic and they didn’t kick us out although we stayed well after they were supposed to close due to the roads being gridlocked and the metro being flooded. I can’t say enough good things about their customer service and their food - would highly recommend 😁

First time here tonight, as a table of 4. Food was absolutely top tier, really nice grilled meat good quality , great price in my opinion for all the food we got. Service was fantastic too from all the staff , we will definitely return on a regular basis

I first visited Ocean Road almost 50 years ago. It was famous for Indian restaurants. My favourite Bengal has long gone and over the years there have been many here today gone tomorrow restaurants. Some good, many awful. Casta was recommended this Middle Eastern restaurant so six of us went. Two x two person starters( one hot and one cold) were very good and filling. Thus the mains though good were far too much! We needed doggie bags. We also got a cash discount. All in all very good but I still miss my old favourite.

Delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable service, very reasonable prices.

Welcomed in like we were regulars on the first time visiting

Food was wonderful. Couldn’t fault it. Will order again

perfect food and perfect service but oh my god please change the atrocious music

Delicious food delivered with care. 😊

Just not up to the standard I would it it expects plaudits for its food. The requirement for 100 characters is ridiculous, remembers brevity is the essence of clarity.!!

Food & Drink was amazing very clean, I have been twice now and both times they have been so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy with everything highly recommended!!

Food is always brilliant and staff are always very friendly. şerefe!

Beautiful food and fast delivery. Will definitely be back.

Excellent Turkish food at a good price. Great service. Would definitely recommend.

Have been in to Kuzey both as a couple and a family. The staff have always been friendly, professional and courteous. The food has always been of the highest quality and if there was a criticism, too much to eat but they always offer to box it up and you can take it with you. An excellent meal at a great price in excellent surroundings. Highly recommended.

Really great find while visiting South Shields for work. The meal was delicious and really reasonably priced. I will be back with the family.

Another fabulous visit to the Kuzey. 4 of us for my son's 21st birthday. The food was fantastic as usual (love those lamb ribs). The service wàs brilliant, staff wonderful and the guy who runs it is a true gentleman. Thank you we will definitely be back again.

Fresh beautiful feta salad chicken Shish and Turkish bread so tasty with the pomegranate dressing fed me for two days my new fave takeaway

Absolutely fantastic food. Just as good as a takeaway meal as a sit in restaurant meal. Recommended.

Beautiful flavours, huge portions! Can’t recommend enough!

Food was amazing! The deserts were quality and the staff were really on point! The owner also was hilarious, highly recommended 👌

The best food as well as the best customer service by Andrew. So friendly and warm welcoming nature. Njoyed the taste of food. Will deffo be back again for sure. Tqsm for assisting us regarding the food as well.

Exceptional Turkish food. We often visit Turkish restaurants but this has to be one of the best! We had the meat platter and mixed grill. Friendly and attentive staff but not overbearing. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food and fast delivery

Loved the meal from here was absolutely delicious, very reasonably priced and all in lovely surroundings

Fantastic food everything was delicious, service was great very attentive, very reasonably priced, we will definitely eat here again. X

Lovely food as usual. Kuzey are consistently good. Highly recommended.

Fast collection, friendly staff, food was warm but the Moussaka was a big let down - very bland sadly. Falafel was alright, the filo parcels were nice, and the baklava was very tasty. For £35 I’d hoped it would’ve been nicer and perhaps their grill and meat options are tastier than the Moussaka.

Went for friends birthday the manager was very attentive and made it special for her. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and will return

We visited this restaurant on the 28.04.23 and found the staff very pleasant we ordered two starters the beetroot and the sausage which were very good and for our main meals we ordered moussaka which was one of the best’s we have ever had and a Adana kebab with chip,which was also very good,we also thought that the price we paid for our meal was not enough for the portion size we ate,we thought that the chips that came with the moussaka we’re not needed and maybe some nice vegetables would suit the dish better instead of chips,and one strip of kebab meat was enough with chips for the price we paid having said this we couldn’t fault anything well done for giving us a pleasant meal

Great place, amazing food, attentive staff. We have passed this restaurant so many times on a way to the beach and today decided to pop in and give it a go. I'm so happy we did, this might be my new favourite place, not only in South Shields 😀

Friendly service and delicious food. We ordered from the 2 course special menu. There was plenty of choice for both starters and mains. Worth noting that if you pay cash, you get a 15% discount on your bill.

A fabulous night out with our friends, spent in an amazing restaurant. Delicous food and first class service as always. My personal favourite is a nice cold Effes and a plate of chicken shish , absolutely delicious. Can't wait to return.

Lovely food. Went for a meal there last week for the first time and thought we’d try a takeaway. Food was lovely and portions huge. Highly recommended.

Absolutely one of the best meals you will get .. the staff are amazing and service brilliant.. an absolute must!!!

I often visit this restaurant as it offers a huge array of authentic Turkish food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I visited with my husband and friends and as ever we were blown away by the high quality food, which was cooked to perfection as always. I always get the chicken shish, which is freshly cooked to order, served with fresh salad and chick pea rice. All complemented by delicious Effes beer and some feshly made dips. I can't wait to return soon

Food was well cooked and tasted great, we have eaten in the restaurant before but thought we could try the take away and it didn't disappoint. The food arrived hot and the driver was very friendly and polite. Great experience all round.

Beautiful food as always thank you 😊
