Ottoman Turkish Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Delicious food,definitely come back and highly recommend

Really nice food, staff were excellent. Will certainly return.

Mouthwatering food, lovely people. Truly great service, made our visit memorable. Can’t wait to visit again!

Nice food, quick service and friendly staff.

Very good food nice friendly staff very good Turkish 🍷 wine at Turkish restaurant last week very very very good meal

Long standing Turkish place opposite Saint Mary's. No where to park unless you want to get ripped off and pay. Food is very simple stuff but at least you can see exactly what you are getting. Everything I tried was well cooked and all simple dishes. The staff were well humoured even with people who were tipsy. They have toilets downstairs.

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a true taste of Turkish cuisine!

The food is incredible and they provide good sized portions. So you know the money is worth it.

The food was really good. Everything was well seasoned but its a bit on the expensive side. Each main cost around 17-20£ for one person

Before you get used to owner he can irritate you .He needs to ask a customer whether they need any support with the menu not standing there lecturing customers.

Excellent. Very quick lunchtime service. Good value two course menu. Close to the station, would recommend for business travellers.

Food was excellent. Service was brilliant. Santa was really nice to us. Would come back. Food is halal.

Authentic Turkish food. Owner and staff were great and food was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience, visiting from North Carolina

Had mixed grill truly delicious everything seasoned to perfection realy friendly staff and atmosphere loved it 👌 highly recommend it

First class food First class service fantastic atmosphere 👌

For me it isn’t good menu and taste because definitely I eat some food ,they weren’t good and expensive!so sorry but they need to check menu and all!

Overall, a good restaurant with delicious cuisine. The older-looking Turkish waiter/manager is unfriendly and undermines the warm Turkish hospitality.

Lovely service nice and friendly. And the food was lovely too s✨️

Very tasty, authentic Turkish cuisine. I dined there with my family, and everything was well taken care of. The owner was very friendly and kind; we had a lovely chat with him. He welcomed us with fresh strawberries and, without us asking, brought a dessert for our child after lunch. We definitely recommend it.

Lovely friendly place to eat. Staff are very welcoming and explain menu choices. Food is served piping hot and is delicious. Vegetarian options and delicious wines. Reasonably priced.

Would highly recommend...food fantastic, staff friendly and central for all bars. A great night out and would definitely return when we go to town again

The food was absolutely amazing, so fresh perfectly cooked the salmon was the best I’ve ever ate very reasonable prices you will not be disappointed staff were professional great atmosphere x

Again had a dinner with....its wag great again....like the place

Arrived with no reservation to a very busy restaurant staff very helpful. Food great as ever.

I visited the restaurant yesterday and had a mixed experience. The food was absolutely amazin, every dish we tried was delicious and well-prepared. However, I couldn't help but notice a difference in the way the staff treated us compared to other guests. While the service was not outright offensive, the attitude towards us was noticeably blunt and less pleasant than what we observed with other diners. This discrepancy in treatment left us feeling somewhat uncomfortable. It's disappointing that such a great meal was marred by inconsistent service. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that all guests receive the same warm and welcoming treatment.

Not bad at all, food is great and you do get big portions Worth a visit

Been here a couple of times, the food is always beautiful and the staff are very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Had lunch here today with friends. Absolutely gorgeous meal with very friendly service. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent all round . Really tasty well presented food delivered by lovely people . Our first time at this restaurant and we will be back. On the outskirts of the city so easy access and just a wonderful experience with our friends on a Saturday early evening . Thank you Ottoman , I wish you well .

Great authentic Persian restaurant. Lots of options including vegetarian and vegan offerings. Great beer selection too! A certain lady comedian from the north east has been spotted regularly eating in there before her shows!

We called for an evening meal at this restaurant and found it absolutely beautiful. The service was friendly,the food was beautiful and the prices were competitive. We will definitely return - top job.

My wife and I had a meal here on a Saturday night and it was beautiful.We didn't book and arrived at 8pm to be greeted by friendly staff. We ordered drinks and both had starters and main courses.The food was absolutely gorgeous and well worth the money. Friendly service,lovely food and value for money. We shall return.

I went there twice, it was great.

Love it here. Been multiple times over the years and always get excellent service from the lovely staff. The food is absolutely delicious and I've yet to find anything I don't like. Food is also served in good time and is nice and hot on arrival. Will be back here again

We enjoyed a meal out with the family on a Saturday evening. The staff were excellent, very friendly and fun. The service was very good. The food was nice, although from my perspective I found the sauce a little too salty. Overall an enjoyable evening.

First time , really amazing foods and excellent servicess..

It is best place in town when ever i am in town always go there to eat and never regret x

Had a bite to eat before attending a concert. Lovely little gem of a place! Very friendly staff. Food was EXCELLENT. We ordered off the mains and the BBQ shish and both were stunning. Very reasonable cost as well for a city eatery. Would definitely return, very enjoyable.

The food and service was amazing ,I will 100% be coming here again!

Best place to have Turkish food, taste of food was outstanding, I would recommend everyone to visit this place if they want to taste authentic Turkish food Thanks Mr Ömer fronyour hospitality.

Great food. REALLY nice staff. Lovely decor. One of the very best places to eat in Newcastle by a country mile.

Visited on a Monday evening but despite being quiet service was exemplary. Ordered two starters instead of the platter which was a great choice due to the fact we still struggled to eat both our mains. Quality food, excellent service and a great price. Recommend and will come back again

Fantastic staff providing a great atmosphere for our group. Huge portions of food offered a great value, and can't wait to go again.

Love this place. We have been coming for years and no longer need a menu. Hot platter for 2 then Iskender to follow. Would recommend it to anyone.

Still my favourite turkish restaurant in Newcastle

Myself and 3 of my friends ate at Ottoman yesterday,the food was excellent as was the service. Compliments to the Chef. This is my 3rd visit and I will definitely be returning. Thanks very much.

It's been awhile since I was here. And the reason. I live about 40 miles return trip. Otherwise, I would go every month.this place is amazing. The food is of the highest quality. The staff are great and the boss man is very warm and welcoming. If you love Turkish food book here You won't be disappointed. And excellent pricing. Can't wait to return.

Great food. Plenty of it. Friendly service.

Lovely food nicely presented.Staff very friendly. Tasty vegetarian options

We had a quick stop here before a show at the Utility Arena. We had no prior booking but managed to get a seat however it was packed. My partner had the Beyti and I had the mixed grill. Both dishes were quite tasty and as is the case with any Turkish chicken meant I’ve had, the meat was tender and tasty. However, I did think the mixed grill portion size could have been bigger.

The food was delicious. We had Kleftiko and a kebab. Both were lamb and cooked so well it melted in your mouth. Never tasted lamb so tender and so well trimmed that you did not feel you were eating fat. The mashed potato was creamy and smooth. The house white was very nice but a bit sweeter rather than dry. We ate before going to the Arena and it was ideally situated for a short walk back to the venue. We are looking forward to going back. Would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a varied authentic menu.

Food was OK but not as good as menu made it sound. We were the only ones in at first and the place was lacking atmosphere.

Unreal food and the staff were absolutely amazing. I thoroughly recommend coming here for food.

We had a quick meal before going to a concert,wow,it was delicious. I had food envy looking at the others plates of food

After reading so many good reviews this isn’t the review I was expecting to write. Food was tasteless, everything was under seasoned, just very bland. Unfortunately the quality of the meat wasn’t great either, it was obviously very cheap, the texture of the chicken was odd and the lamb didn’t taste fresh. Very disappointing, can’t understand why it’s rated so highly, wouldn’t go back.

Absolutely delicious, highly recommended

Nice experience lovely food but expensive

Delicious food and nice people. If you want to eat Turkish food in Newcastle, this is highly recommended.

Very nice food and central location

Made a reservation here for 6pm, but we were told a table wouldn't be available for at least another 20 minutes. Not a problem in itself, but the waiter's attitude was. When we explained we couldn't wait 20 minutes due to other plans later in the evening, his reply was simply: 'If you can't wait, then leave.' Why then even bother making a reservation, specifically to avoid this sort of problem? Food might be delicious (we'll never know). But I wouldn't try this place again if you payed me.

Try having Ali Nazik. You will thank me later

We ended up at this place after we viewed a car in Newcastle my Mrs ordered chicken and I got a mix platter food was absolutely amazing I loved the Adana the most the texture and flavour was just too good I would definitely come again the drive from West Yorkshire will be worth it.

First time at this restaurant and will not be going back. The staff looked unhappy the whole time we were there with not a smile between them. They were not interested in us and didn't bother to ask if the food was OK. As it happens it wasnt. The quality of the lamb was good but it was so bland. Both the shish and the perzola were plain with no indication of herbs or spices. My husband had sausage to start which he thought was just flavoured with salt and pepper and my mushrooms and peppers in a"special" sauce was just tomato. There was also no leeway with the carbs as they refused to swap the rice for potatoes. Very disappointed.

It was a fab time .Staff food and atmosphere was excellent .Would definately visit here again

Six ladies of a certain age,4pm booking. Our hosts were charming and entertaining but not overpowering. The menu is so varied it has something to offer even the most fussy eater. The service was quick, the food was piping hot, beautifully presented and delicious. Portions are very generous so unfortunately we didn't get a chance to sample the dessert menu. Booking is essential as the restaurant filled up quickly with early evening diners but at no point were we rushed. The bill was very reasonable for a city centre and presented with a lovely Turkish sweet treat. There was no problem with us splitting the bill, 3 separate cards and the rest cash. Only point to note: at no time were we asked about any allergies so if you have any food allergies be sure to point them out

Good food good prices lovely staff What else do you want when you go to restaurant Thanks very much

Food is just about acceptable, sort of things you could get from Heron. I did get takeaway from here once but certainly not worth paying restaurant prices. Also comes with free assault. The owner/ manager delights in assaulting LGBTQ+ individuals and animals, last time I visited, I politely requested the owner move his car from my private parking space as I had a disabled relative visiting as the owner liked to save money by illegally parking in private spaces, belonging to flats, behind the establishment . Murat Can (the owner/ manager) kindly responded to my request by assaulting me and my small dog and throwing us into the main road, nearly resulting in the death of my dog. I have witnessed him assault several individuals since and have recorded evidence of this on my phone. The restaurant also frequently indulges in fly-tipping so if you hate the environment, animals and the LGBTQ+ community, this is the place for you.

Fantastic service and beautiful authentic food 😋❤️

Always lovely food, staff are really friendly. Cold sharing starter, mixed grill and special wrap was delicious!!! Great everytime

Food bang average service poor, staff more interested in chatting/ shouting at each other and watching tv something that looked like an advertisement for a Turkish holiday resort.

The food was delicious.. nice ambiance.. excellent children friendly place

Great Turkish food, great service

Excellent service food, healthy portion size for one person, do try the Raki( turkish drink)

Great mixed grill from Ottoman, tasty and plentiful!

This restaurant was a short walk from the Crown Plaza hotel where we were staying. It is housed in a period building and has a well decorated interior. We both had lamb chops which cost £20.50. The chops were good quality and it came with rice and salad. The staff were pleasant. We enjoyed our evening.

We ordered Humus, Cacik, Pacanga Boregi, Chicken Shish, Turkish Bread, Turkish Coffee, and dessert Baklava. Food was amazing. Must visit.

Myself and my friends ate here tonight,the service and the food was superb. I had chicken dolma…. So good. I will be back. A must visit. Cheers guys.

Great food, nice quick service, good value for money, will deffo be back

Wonderfully friendly with marvellous food. Recommended this by a friend and he was spot on.

We popped in for something before a concert at the arena. They found my husband and myself a seat. Even when my brother and sister in-law joined us that was not even a problem. We were all seated and fed. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and polite. The ottoman is a place I would gladly eat at again. This is a gem of a place. If you like Persian food this is the place to go. The prices are reasonable. If your after a quick bite or a larger meal you must try here first. I will return here next time I'm out with my husband.

I had a lot of food, in a short time while visiting Newcastle. This is the restaurant I will remember. Lamb meat balls appetizer, mixed grill main and baklava dessert, all rich with flavor proportioned just right. Ever heard the saying "leave them wanting more," well I did want more. I would have loved to try the rest of the menu. Thanks for a memorable dinner!

Food is nice. Worth a visit if you want Turkish type food.

best in town food is lush the staff are mint highly recommended this place for Turkish food

Always been pretty quiet when I've eaten there, but it has been a Friday Afternoon. None the less, the food is fab. An extensive menu, but they do a 'lunch time special' Waiters are always happy to help and very attentive... Definitely recommend 👍

Brilliant Turkish food, cooked and served by friendly staff.

3 of us had a fantastic meal this evening which also great value. The food was excellent, and the service friendly with a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend.

Really nice place for Turkish cuisine. Food was excellent and pretty big portions for a reasonable price. Good service and friendly atmosphere.

All the usual Middle East choices, well presented, generous portions and very tasty. Friendly front of house.

Menu looked promising. Also aesthetics from out side and in. Had Pacenga to start and mixed shish kebab for main. Pacenga were bland. Main was nice with good flavour but portion size for the amount paid was poor. Smallest portion of rice ever. I like Turkish food and do not get often so this place did not meet my expectation. Not bad but certainly average.

My husband and I had a lovely time here we went about 5 o'clock, staff were friendly and food was excellent 10/10

Had a fantastic meal at Ottomans last Saturday night. Started with humous and flatbreads to share, more than enough for 2, especially with what was to follow….I went for the lamb kleftiko, it was absolutely delicious, melt in the mouth, falling off the bone 🤤 Followed by baklava which I struggled to finish but persevered 🐷 The service was spot on, lovely and friendly staff, couldn’t fault it all. Try it 👍

Nice atmosphere and great service. The lamb iskender was delicious and was a generous portion

Friday night & we booked for a large group. Preordered our meals. All was in order. All meals as ordered. Very attentive staff, friendly & not intrusive. Variety of meals but everyone was pleased eith their order. All hot & cooked beautifully. Some portions were huge - depending on your dish. And given we were a group it was very easy to pay separately- which can always be an issue. All in all 5 stars

还不错的土耳其店，羊腿很嫩很好吃！羊肉丸也很不错，xue微有点儿辣味，很适合家庭聚餐，很推荐推荐。离火车站很近，两三分钟！

Our trip here was based on my desire for Turkish cuisine. We were not disappointed. Food and drink were excellent, with a laid back, but OK service. We both enjoyed our meal here and would return. If you like good Turkish food then this a good place to come too.

Fantastic food and great portions. Reasonable prices for the quality of food. Great service as well. Not overly attentive, just right. Thoroughly recommend. 10/10

Lovely friendly staff. Food is great, reasonably priced.

The grilled chicken and yogurt aubergine from the starters was perfect.

Brilliant food as always keep it up gang.

I have been to this restaurant several times previously with my husband and had good service and food, However last night I went with a female friend and the service was horrendous! We were constantly harassed by 1 of the waiters who seemed to letch over us all night and made us feel really uncomfortable. The other waiter recognised me as a regular customer and apologised for his colleagues manner stating “I’m sick of telling him he can’t go on like that he’s not in Turkey now” and laughed it off!! Not funny at all from my point of view. The waiter who recognised me then gave us a leaving drink of tequila rose and lent into both me and my friend for a kiss and hug again totally unacceptable after I had already raised my concerns over his colleague. There seemed to be no other management in the restaurant to complain to so we paid and left. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be returning to the restaurant which is a shame as the food is really nice.
