Mavi Turkish Restaurant in Northumberland

We did not book but got the last table at 6ish,so would advise to book on busy nights. The lady who served us was so helpful and polite I can't fault her. We had a cold share starter then a lamb with dates and figs dish plus lamb with aubergine and cheese sauce. The flavour we're amazing and the meat was so tender 10 out of 10

Had lovely meal here, went in early so we're the only people kn at the time. Food was excellent and very friendly staff.

Absolute gem of a restaurant in Berwick. Visited today for lunch with a friend. Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and flawless service. Would definitely return.

Fantastic Turkish food,great service, would highly recommend.

I was new to Turkish cuisine, and a bit apprehensive. However, I had such lovely food, superbly cooked and presented. A wonderful chicken meal Lovely service too

Lovely Turkish restaurant offering delicious dishes. The beetroot starter was light and refreshing. The main course was delicious as was the baklava. Good atmosphere even though fairly small place

Wow, what a place! Understated but delicious. So great to get high quality food

We walked past and tried to get a table on a bit of a punt. Host was lovely and accommodated us a table of 4. Brilliant atmosphere, very attentive servers too. The food is outstanding with plenty of choice. We could t finish it all so took away on a wee container. Would highly recommend!

Lovely service and even better lamb- perfectly cooked lamb shank falling off the bone with thick gravy sauce and some veg. Turkish coffee was delicious with a side of turkish delight. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious! We had the sharing starter and the special wrap mains with potato skins - all superb! Staff were very pleasant and great service 5*

Absolutely buzzing beautiful little Turkish place. Second visit here, and each time is a delight. Wonderful authentic Turkish dishes, each fresh, each unique. We reserved for a Friday night, and their earliest table was 8:45pm, and it was great to see how busy they were. Had the mixed grill starter for two, followed by the iskender adana, and lamb kulbasti. Dishes, despite them being absolutely packed, came out quick, hot and fresh. Service was prompt, and every table was well looked after, even though they must have had over 40 covers. Thoroughly recommended, but you’ve gotta book!

WOW! Fantastic food. Welcoming and friendly staff. I can’t say enough about how good the food was and the four of us enjoyed our evening. Thank you to all at Mavi.

Best Turkish takeaway I've ever had. Doesn't get much better than this.

Simply perfect! Delicious food, beautifully served by helpful and smiling girls. So tolerant and understanding of my mother’s food intolerances. Could not fault this place at all and would heartedly recommend. Only wish it were local to me!

Lunchtime meal deal, two starters and a main £15. Not only Great value but very tasty. Wife went for chicken salas wrap, said was one of the best she'd ever had!

Turkish ristorante, piccolo nello stile UK, ma molto carino e accogliente come posto. Buon cibo, buona scelta nel menu, personale cordiale e veloce. Lo consiglio

Fabulous authentic restaurant with friendly staff who accommodated us without a booking. Halloumi starter was plentiful, the mains of creamy chicken with rice, and lamb and chicken kebab with rice and also a bowl of fries were hot, superbly seasoned and tasty. Too full for a dessert! A great find, reasonably priced.

Lovely food,quick service, restaurant full on a Tuesday, and quite noisy due to three rowdy women hopefully they will sober up

Amazing place, amazing service and delicious food. Highly recommend to visit!

Best food and excellent service in Berwick

We came here on the off chance as the restaurant I'd booked was no longer a restaurant and hadn't told us! We were more than glad we chose Mavi. The welcome was friendly and light hearted while the menu gave us plenty of choice. We tried some Turkish Cabernet which was delicious (we were given the option of changing the bottle if we didn't like it) and just about managed our generous starters and mains. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food. Polite and friendly staff. Good menu selection and the food was amazing. The seats are crammed together but when I went it was quiet so it was fine. 100% recommend

Where do I even start… let me just begin with it’s a beautiful situation being on bridge street, amazing scenery, brilliant staff and an even better atmosphere. The fish was merely succulent, the salad fresh, the tater sauce perfectly paired with the fish and brilliant overall… the creamy dish… do I even have words to explain this, the moist chicken was exquisite. Let me just say, if you find me on death row this is my last meal… overall a fantastic meal For every age, possibly the best meal I’ve ever had, value for money 10/10, food 10/10 wine 11/10 staff 10/10. Thank you Mavi, and I will be back.

Lovely turkish restaurant with great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and great food. We made a mistake getting starters as they were a decent portion and mains were a healthy size of well. They managed to beat both of us. Well worth a visit.

When booking a table was warned large party coming in so we went earlier, good job as this is a small restaurant and noise echo was an issue for us. However, thoroughly recommend the restaurant for the quality of the Turkish food (we had a sharing Hot Platter to start followed by grilled lamb chops and a mixed grill) all very well cooked and tasty. Only reason for a lost star was we unfortunately felt the server came across as a little abrasive so we didn’t feel totally comfortable in asking for things. Overall if you like Turkish food recommend give Meva a try.

First time tried Turkish food was beautiful presentation on plate excellent will be back

Spot on, friendly and welcoming. Accommodated our group of 11 brilliantly. All thoroughly enjoyed our food, chicken and lamb succulent and tasty. Sides delicious and piping hot.

Excellent, good quality food. Friendly staff. Very happy we tried it out.

The best leg of lamb I've ever eaten. Juicy, super tender and perfectly seasoned.

I had the vegetarian special wrap and it was ABSOLUTELY delicious, the halloumi wasn’t too salty, the whole wrap was delicious and I loved that is was served with potato skins 😋

Beautiful food at this restaurant. Interesting and flavourful dishes. Would definitely visit again.

3 times I've been to Mavi and every time it's been great, always great service and the food is excellent.

Visited this lovely little place while on holiday. We were a walk-in and they managed to accommodate us despite being very busy. The atmosphere is cosy and the service pleasant and attentive. The food is superb, rustic, hearty Turkish fare. Everything looked so good it was difficult to decide on menu choices. The drinks seemed a tad expensive, but is really just nitpicking at what was a thoroughly enjoyable meal.

Always excellent food and service.

Just have been in this lovely restaurant today. Compliments to the lovely stuff and good service. Young girls who were serving us were very kind and lovely. Food was delicious. Little misunderstanding was sorted in no time and we were all safe thanks to the quick reaction. Keep doing good job🤗 We will come again!

Visited here on 12/6/2024. My partner and I both thought the food and service were excellent. If we ever visit Berwick again, we'd return.

Lovely authentic restaurant, superb food, great service, highly recommend.

Great food. Nice food, nice host and a great town.

Always amazing! I love taking my Dad when he visits as they really go out of their way to give us a warm welcome and food and service is reliably great.

Excellent quality food and service and a nice atmosphere.

Visited for my partners birthday this evening, food was beautiful, service was excellent and a lovely atmosphere. Will be visiting again and strongly recommend to anyone reading to try for themselves. You will not be disappointed. 10/10. Thank you.

Consistently good. Nice staff...reasonably priced.

Delicious food every time we have been here 😁

Probably the best restaurant I've ever been in the UK. I thought the food would be good but was not expecting such a perfectness! Everything we ordered was awesome. Suat was very kind and friendly, Umit as well. If you ever pass by Berwick, make sure you stop here to eat.

Food nice but quite expensive for what it is

First time having Turkish food and will definitely be back for more, great staff and really good portion sizes we were so full that we had to get our pudding to take out great restaurant everyone should give it a try

Had a lovely meal, good value for money

After observing how busy this place was for several days, I now know why; it's the best Turkish food I've eaten outside Turkey (and better than most I've eaten there.) Excellent food, service and staff. But book - it's understandably popular.

Great place, food was fantastic.

Nice and chilly place in the whole city!!Must visit

Great Turkish restaurant 👌 the food is excellent with decent sized portion and all at a reasonable cost. Will return.

We go here quite alot , the food is amazing and the staff are lovely nothing is too much trouble we love this Restaurant.

The food tasted amazing and the service was swift. Would definitely recommend eating here

Amazing food and great service! Lamb shank was juicy and very tasty. Good choice of drinks and nice atmosphere.

I had a delivery and it was outstanding, earlier than expected but that wasn't an issue food was delicious

We were recommended this restaurant by a family member and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent, full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The service was really good, staff very friendly and efficient. We will definitely be coming back - recommend booking in advance as was full when we visited.

Popular with the locals, it was busy on a Wednesday in mid April. A superb choice of delicious food for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Friendly and courteous service. I will visit again when I'm in the area.

A very popular place with the locals. Busy for a Wednesday night in mid April. Superb food, attentive and courteous service. I particularly enjoyed the Mutancana. My regret is I live eighty or so miles away.

Plenty of tables is you, like me, eat early. Had the restaurant to myself later afternoon. Had the nicest meal I've had in a very long time.

Perfection food quality and staff. Plenty portions and you can almost full with free starters. I would definitely recommend finest Turkish cuisine in far northeast

Very convenient open hours on a day out in Berwick. We were able to enjoy a lovely hot meal shortly after 4pm. Lovely setting and the waitress looked after us well. The food was beautifully cooked and presented.

Been to MAVI a few times with friends, always a great welcome when you arrive, food is amazing never had a bad meal there. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

You will need to book as it gets very busy. Friendly welcome, fast and efficient service, excellent food. My wife and I both had the mixed kebab (chicken and lamb) the quality of the meat was delicious.

Delicious food . Something for carnivores & carnivores alike. We were a party of five with varied requirements & all very content with visit. Very pleasant & helpful service from booking all the way through the meal. Probably best to book as unsurprisingly restaurant fills quickly

Food and service were both great. Only negative was an annoying hum in the background which sounded like an extractor fan. Sorry!

One of the best Turkish meals my husband and I have had and we have visited Turkey many times! For starters we had the calamari which was melt in the mouth and the sucuk which was the best we’ve had. Mains- I had the sea bass, fillets were large and absolutely delicious, and my husband the Adana kebab which he said was so fresh it just fell apart. All served with the freshest salad and a fresh sauce made of herbs and chilli’s. Portions were decent, service was fantastic and with a smile. The place was buzzing and we were lucky to get in on a Saturday night! . Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mavi Restaurant!

A place where we can reach the Turkish palate in the best way and where you can spend time with pleasure. I left extremely satisfied with my experience.

Great food and service always enjoy food here.

Excellent in every respect. Menu choice, service, food quality and price. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Thoroughly recommend

We had a superb meal here. We started with a cold sharing platter for 2, shared between the three of us - really good contrast of tastes. Our three main courses - chicken sarma, izmir kofte and lamb guvec were all excellent. A very busy restaurant ona Saturday so please book!

Lovely place , and great food , went two nights on the bounce Welcoming staff Recommend, you won’t be disappointed , great choice of dishes

Visited here mid Feb. We managed to get a table without booking, but I suspect we were lucky. Service was warm and welcoming. Food was fantastic. Large and tasty portions. Perhaps a little on the expensive side, but well worth it.

Best restaurant North of Newcastle! Lovely staff and amazing food every time.

We had to eat out on our flying visit to Berwick so I read the reviews carefully and try to choose a restaurant which is a bit different, prepares fresh meals on the premises and clearly tries to delight customers. Mavi, being "no 4 in Berwick" seemed to fit the bill and we were looking forward to our dinner for over a day - having booked well in advance. Sadly, we were quite disappointed. The ambience is refined and the staff are warm, open and friendly but the food was underwhelming. The mains we chose were hot but lacked flavour - quite bland even. Perhaps they were tailored for a British palate but I found them uninspiring and also suspect they were not freshly prepared. The Orman Kebap (lamb stew) was OK for the first mouthful or so but became monotonous and seemed to contain loads of dill (not something that seems to go with lamb), although we could be wrong. The lamb was not that tender. The Chicken Sarma was similarly bland and monotonous; I had been particularly looking forward to it being "filled with peppers, mushrooms and cheese" but was hard pushed to find much of these within and, in any case, they did not add much flavour. The meal was a little redeemed by the excellent salads we had as sides - crisp, tasty vegetables with simple flavoursome dressings. Delicious. Overall, it was "OK". We ate it as we were hungry and in a hurry, plus we recognise that our opinion may just be a matter of taste. If this had been a special evening and we had had more time, we might have been "impolite" enough to send the food back or to leave without eating it.......... but I doubt it as that sort of thing is just "not done"! We are coming to Berwick again soon, and in the unlikely event we decide to eat out, we will try somewhere else.

First time at MAVI will definitely be back. With the family, all had different meals and went down a treat, fantastic Turkish cuisine for a half term treat

The food in there is great. We went a few times by now and it was always yummy. Especially the sharing platter as a starter is amazing! But it is so filling, you might struggle with the main.

We had heard this restaurant was good, so on a day off my wife and I went to bridge street in Berwick and got a table for two. We chose from the superb lunchtime menu. My wife had some amazing chicken wraps and fries. I had a lamb sheesh with some lovely sauce and toasted Turkish bread with salad. Also a nice Turkish beer (recommended as its amazing) The staff were welcoming and could not of been nicer. (we are both in hospitality) Lovely place and lovely environment to have food. We will be back and will tell our friends about this restaurant. Looking forward to exploring the menu in time. Thank you

This is such an amazing restaurant and a real asset to the town. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed but also feels like a special occasion. The service is efficient, professional and courteous. The food is amazing, authentic tasting Turkish dishes full of flavour with top quality ingredients and good sized portions. All beautifully presented sizzling in rustic tableware.

Popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and polite. We went for aubergine moussaka with a selection of 4 starters. Really delicious, good value for money. The apple tea was smashing too. I thoroughly recommend eating here.

Had the lunch menu for 2 ,excellent 4 starters we shared and mains of chicken and one of pork . All beautifully presented and tasted as good as lt looked. Will be back the next time we are in town

Had better here in the past, the lamb was very tough and hard to chew, luckily the rest was edible will stick to the minced kebab next time

Not the best I’ve had here, went for the mixed grill, lamb chop and lamb pieces was very tough, the cold rice pudding was however very tasty

Great Turkish food in a convivial atmosphere with good service. Loved the lighter lunch choices which were not only super tasty but excellent value for money. Our group of 6 had 4 different dishes between us & all were thoroughly enjoyed.

Went for an early New years eve meal and we were not disappointed. The food ,service and atmosphere were all ten out of of ten and we would definitely visit again if in the area. Highly recommended.

A very enjoyable meal at this restaurant. A warm welcome on arrival and the atmosphere is both cosy and stylish. Food extremely good quality and value and the wines highly affordable. I had 4 lamb chops which were delicious with minimal fat. The accompanying salad matched very well and the dip was very tasty and no unnecessary heat to overwhelm the palate. Highly recommended for both the food and the experience.

Such a lovely warm welcome, great food and a lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed a lovely evening at Mavi and would definitely recommend visiting. The staff were helpful and attentive without being pushy, the food was absolutely gorgeous and we had plenty to eat. We thought it was good value for what we had, and will definitely go back if we are in Berwick again.

Excellent, highly enjoyable mixed grill ,also the wife enjoyed the musaka. Thank you!!!!!

We booked for the first evening of our holiday and were not disappointed. The food was exceptional and very authentic. The others diners who left before us thanked the staff for their fantastic meals. I would recommend booking as it was quite busy even in October.

Lovely food, great service and good value. Delicious set menu lunch. Thank you.

Very good food was amazing £78 for 2 people too have 3 courses service was amazing

Really Superb food and great service, the rice is amazing and the salsa they serve with the chicken grill blows your mind it’s so good Don’t miss this place it’s a joy

Wow!! Great food and great service. Early Saturday evening meal, but as busy as could be, but we were efficiently served with very good humour. We loved it and will return as soon as we can afford to. (They're not expensive!!)

Very friendly owner, lovely food - wouldn't hesitate to go back. Great birthday treat.

Fabulous food and wine. We thoroughly enjoyed the food wine and the friendly service. Will go again

Lovely place to eat. Was visiting berwick upon tweed for the day and this place was recommended. I was not disappointed. Only had an appetizer but I was very good. All together, gracious hosts with lovely food. Thank you!

Excellent food! Had the falafel, lamb special wrap, warm feta appetizer, the halloumi main and baklava 👌

Me and my family went here for my birthday The food was really good Would definitely recommend

Amazing tasty food and lovely staff. Unfortunately I was too excited at how good the food was I forgot to get the waitress name. I had creamy chicken which was beautiful and tender with a sauce full of flavour. Not the insipid creamy sauce you sometimes get in Italians. My husband had moussaka. This also was luscious and full of flavour. Lovely rice too. The waitress was friendly professional and really canny. As was the lady at the counter. We enjoyed it so much we’re trying to work out how to fit another visit in on our wedding anniversary before we go back home to Newcastle tomorrow. But if not we’ll definitely return on our next trip.

We have had food in Turkey in differing areas many years and this is without doubt the best , the creamy chicken and moussaka 5 star plus even the feta salad outshone salads served around the UK Do yourself a favour go ! You will not regret it, lovely female staff , warm and lovely Sincerely Kevin & Laney Newcastle

We had Ali Nazik with lamb and Mixed Shish. Both were delicious!
