Red Mezze in Newcastle upon Tyne

Excellent food and wonderful service by Shiva.

Fantastic food at a great price highly recommended best Turkish around Keep it up

We went for lunch with my wife and child, we ate lamb ribs, it was great, you should definitely try it. We don't know the owner or the employees, but they were very nice, thank you.

Really good service, calamari dish was boring 16 quid for what was served was surprising, starters good, others main courses looked good. Interior is tired, toilets not great.

It’s one of that best food places I have visited in Newcastle, so good I had to tell everyone in my friendship group and family about it

We ordered the Lam Guvee, 10/10 amazing food! Lovely staff. Great prices. Not to mention they closed their kitchen at 10:30 and we arrived at 10:20 and still went above and beyond to accommodate for us. They even left the restaurant open late for us as we were still Eating & Drinking. I would highly recommended this spot. If you’re looking for traditional food and a great service you’ll feel welcome here. Thank you Red Mezze & Ahmed!

2 and a half minutes late! Food was cold won’t use this service again!!Dont even want to give it one star

Visited this afternoon for a quick lunch as we had been on the road for 2 hours we were super hungry and asked if we could have our food served up ASAP. They did not disappoint. Amazing customer service food was on point. Will definitely visit again when in Newcastle.

Didn't expect the lunch menu to be a good size meal. Was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere is lovely and food is tasty

Amazing food and great atmosphere

Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic price...we will be back!

Superb food. Absolutely delicious. We're very full too; the portions look deceptively small, but they're not. Highly recommended

Food was amazing not been in a while but better than ever

Food was extremely oily ,not not as it is normally is really disappointing and cold

unplanned visit to waste some time so had the lunch deal which was great. lovely independent restaurant, will be back

Great Turkish food specially for Muslim ls

The best Turkish restaurant in the town.... Really amazing..

bread was a bit hard but the rest was delicious!

Food is very nice! Could have more vegetarian and vegan options.

Excellent food , nice atmosphere and friendly staff

We went to Red Mezze for lunch. The food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly. I deeply recommend this restaurant.

Great portion size, food quality and overall price for everything lamb was absolutely lush 5/5

So I really thought I will have to write this review here, so hopefully the Red Mezze manager could act on improving their food quality. I placed an order for a hot mezzeh - kofta in tomato sauce for take away. I opened the package at home, and the food contained significant amount of burnt particles/?burnt food. The food tasted very poor like a not fresh meal. I think as a restaurant probably you will have to think of not defrosting and re-heating an old meal (likely causing the burnt particles as a result of multiple heatings in the pot) and sell it to your customers as a fresh meal. I am so disappointed with the quality, and this review is only so hopefully you will improve your quality… thanks.

Really good food and attentive service. The £12.50 lunch deal is great value, big portion sizes and all delicious. Would recommend.

Been coming here for 15 years. Always great!

A little bit on the pricey side though. It will be good to order both appetitizer and main course together, since it takes a bit of time to get latter, given our past two experiences.

Great afternoon, good good, would recommend

Amazing food, lovely staff. If you read this thanks.

Amazing service, we got tea and a dessert to share on the house. Lovely staff and atmosphere.

Arrived 5 minutes before estimated delivery time, food piping hot, tasty as!! What's more to say? Excellent!

amazing customer service amazing food

The restaurant serves Turkish food. I ordered mixed grill, Adana kebab, and french fries. The food was delicious and the quantity was sufficient

Went for girls lunch Saturday, what a treat, staff are very attentive & helpful explaining menu, food was amazing we all really loved our lunch, prices are good value, would definitely recommend

I have come here for the first time with my family. Service is good. We ordered lamb as main . It was very dry and chewy. Paid parking available.

Food was beautiful and great service

Extremely good service , really polite staff and food was delicious

A great place if you want excellent service and delicious food.

Fantastic food, well prepared and presented, would highly recommend a visit 😉

Delicious food, amazing service. Definitely be back again soon.

Great selection very tasty and great service,we will be back⚽👍

Lunch is a great deal and delicious. Come back next time

Chips were cold had to reheat,lamb ribs very disappointing (very little meat)

The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. One of the best restaurants in Newcastle.

In Newcastle, Red Mezze offers Halal Turkish cuisine that's hit or miss. While the food is decent, my recent experience fell short of expectations. When a dish didn't meet standards, the solution was not quite satisfactory. However, the staff were friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall atmosphere. Despite the cozy ambiance, I can't wholeheartedly recommend it.

Normally really love this place but was disappointed when I went there yesterday. One of the platters we normally get to share has gone up nearly a £10 extra and took off chips and reduced the amount of meat they used to give you for less. How is that fair???? I am never returning. It’s a shame. Oh well!

Found my self going back to this restaurant. Wonderful service and food. Good price too

Family visit for the first time, looking for authentic Arabian style food and we were not disappointed. We lived the Hot maze platter starter. I got the chargrilled lamb ribs and chicken wings, all our food was cooked fresh and very tasty. Will definitely be going back.

Dips were good, the filo pastry and iskender average. Not much flavor to the iskender sauce and was mostly pita, not a whole lot of chicken.

We visited Red Mezze for a family meal. We were greeted by very friendly staff and shown straight to our table. The food was excellent and everyone was very pleased with their selection. I had the sea bass and it was amazing

Foods amazing it’s my fav place to order. Still need to sit in and eat as I get that would be amazing

Second time ordering, lovely food yet again! Definitely recommend 👌🏼

Great tasting food! Will order again 👌🏼

Delicious food right out of the oven. The staff (especially Ahmed) were very cooperative regarding food allergy information. I would definitely go again whenever I am in Newcastle.

Delicious food. Service by Ahmed was excellent, very personalised. Really enjoyed the atmosphere too.

Foods always so nice from here

Food was great and so affordable and staff were fantastic. I will definitely visit again.

Nice hidden gem, unbelievable food.will definitely come back.Had the liver starter was delicious, then struggled to finish off my main course of moussaka, huge servings, staff very friendly

Absolutely amazing weekday lunch. Best moussaka I’ve ever had. Lunch deal is fantastic value, perfect portion sizes. Can’t wait to return.

The quality is nice but I’ve been waiting 4•5hrs an it was FREEZING cold. So DISAPPOINTING

Excellent food, portion sizes are not small. Best calamari I've had. Inexpensive dishes. Such friendly and welcoming staff. What a fab experience. Even though we were so full we couldn't eat it all, we were offered a semolina and cream dessert and then Turkish Delight. "Mauza" ( sorry if the spelling is incorrect ) made us feel very, very welcome. If I didn't live in Lancashire, I would be back in a hurry.

Everything is almost perfect, missed the two sauces ordered, everything else is really good.

Went for Mother's Day. Glad we booked a table because it was busy. The service was good, and staff were friendly and attentive. Food was delicious, well presented and filling. Atmosphere was nice, despite it being a rainy day, everyone was in good spirits.

The lunch meal deal was very impressive. I ordered a patlican for starter and chicken shish for main. The chick peas with pomegranate seed tasted smoothly and sour ( I’m a huge fan of sour flavor lol). Chicken shish was also tasty. Turkish coffee was in a very small cup and also tasted very smoothly. Importantly! The naan bread was the best one I’ve ever had! Soft but chewy. Generally speaking, everything was spot on. Highly recommended 😆

Don’t order in Just Eat. Twice we have ordered, the app said the food was delivered but never arrived. Staff unhelpful, said they didn’t have contact details for the driver and to contact Just Eat. App had said they lost contact with the driver -surely they should have the driver details it’s ridiculous! Over and hour waiting for food for my Birthday that never arrived. Someone is getting the free food we order as the driver picked it up from the restaurant!

Really lovely little place hidden away, amazing food, huge portions and a really relaxed atmosphere

Fantastic restaurant Food was amazing and staff amazing 👏

I came to Newcastle from London to visit some family. My mum's Friend who is a Local suggested us this place so we decided to take our guests here for dinner. We were greeted by Moaz who looked after my that evening. He was amazing! We both spoke the same language (Arabic) though the rest of my party didn't, He recommended us the mixed grill platters and Cold Mezze platter. Both the Cold Mezze and mixed grill were amazing! The starters were delicious, the main was hot, succulent, soft and also met the dietary requirements made by my mother. Moaz was an amazing host, he looked after my mums specific Dietary requirement, he made sure the food we order will be plenty for our party. Him and I spoke for a bit and it was really nice to be welcomed by his warm, friendly attitude. After our meal, He was ready with the Kahwa and even got us some desserts on the house His hospitality was amazing!!! As we were about to leave, When paying there was no service charge, So I asked that I would like to tip as a small gesture of gratitude, and He REFUSED. It was a long back and forth between him and I but he was adamant. Only For Him and His hospitality I will Drive from London to Newcastle again! Must go for food, but you will miss the hospitality as its rare. Food 10/10 Atmosphere 6/10 Service 10/10 SHUKRAN Moaz!

Food was piping hot but very small portions considering how much it cost.

Food was delicious as always 😋.

Fantastic food, served by brilliant friendly and helpful staff, we had the hot mezze sharing plate, the quality and quantity of the food was brilliant. My partner had the mixed grill and said the lamb chop was the nicest chop he’d ever eaten. Upon the recommendation of the lovely waitress, I had the moussaka, it was amazing.

Very misleading from the outside, looks like a Chinese takeaway, but dropping down into the second room was a pleasant surprise. The Turkish culture was great and food was amazing.

Lovely food and fantastic staff

Had a lovely meal with my family for my sons 30th. I'd never been before. The food was fantastic, staff very friendly and attentive. Lovely small place, we went at 1pm and it was busy. Would go back and recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat.

Planning to meet up with friends? Looking for somewhere to eat? Look no further Red Mezze is a lovely cosy place. Pleasant helpful but not overbearing staff added to the experience. We each settled on the luncheon specials. They tasted great and the portions were huge! I didn't need any tea!

Today Saturday 3rd feb the staff worked extremely hard as it was so so busy. The food was absolutely gorgeous as always. If you have not been it's a must. 11.95 for 2 courses. Staff very friendly Love it x

Really nice turkish restaurant Had the 2 course lunch deal for under £12 I got a saksuka and a moussaka Both were really nice, notably the rice that cane with the moussaka was very fragrant and savory The service was not as good as the food unfortunately. One of the servers was not friendly, which got worse when the place got more busy. Still, I'd recommend this place for the food alone

Everything was good. Staff were plentiful and friendly.

So when I examined my bill more closely I was charged for the chilli sauce I asked for. I mean, really. Chilli sauce is a standard for Turkish food, not an extra. The garlic sauce was standard garlic mayo. The side salad was bland, almost flavourless. The meat was nice though, hence the three stars. Fairly standard hummus, nothing special. There are better places in Newcastle that charge the same prices. Given where they are located at the edge of the food/drink area of town, I would have expected more effort, not less. Would not recommend.

love the food but came freezing cold as placed order at 3.20pm said due for 4pm came at 5pm really cold and shocked that it was so delayed

Lovely food and fast delivery - thank you!

Really lovely ethnic food with wonderful tastes Well cooked and good portions

Really impressed by the reasonable price, for a good meal.

Sorry didnt find this value for money - Almost 13 quid for a shawarma wrap, wont be coming back here.

The only thing that let the service down slightly was the main course came as soon as our starter plates were cleared which was a bit too quick. The food was excellent

Friendly welcome and warm atmosphere. The service was excellent and staff could not do enough for us. The food was absolutely amazing and there were 10 of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We will be back again!

Food - chicken was dry, the rice was lovely and the bread wasnt great. Felt like it had been sitting all night. I assumed (my fault) that it would be fresh bread like most Turkish/Lebanese restaurants. In terms of delivery, we had the most rude and obnoxious delivery driver. He could not figure out how to open our gate then instead of walking to the front of the property, he just sat at the back of the house beeping his horn until we heard it and went out to see what was happening. So rude. It w

fries were missing from my order. thanks

Local restaurant have been going for years, food is alright nowadays especially on a cost per value basis, but not amazing.

Love Red Mezze, food is delicious. Lovely little place with a nice atmosphere

As always, food was delicious, tasty full of flavour. Never had a bad meal from them, whether it's been takeout or dine in.

Thank you so much for making our son’s 16th Birthday really special. He and his friends had the most wonderful time with fantastic food (as always) we’ll be back very soon!!

Very friendly delivery. Delicious food 😋

Food was ok but not worth the nearly two hour wait.

The waitress was very rude and abrupt, and the food is nothing like Turkish cuisine. If you want to taste authentic Turkish food, avoid this place at all costs.

Ontime and excellent service by delivery guy on his bike in this heavy pouring rain. Delicious as always

Been here twice with my friend and both times we loved it. They serve halal food which is great for my friend. Servers are always friendly and don't have long wait times for food. Can't fault it!

I was visiting Newcastle for a meeting and found this little gem located in around China Town and near St James stadium. Food tasted nice and portion sizes were good. Definitely recommend and will visit again

Food arrived ice cold never order again. Waited for 80 min they had no driver assigned

The food was tasty but delivery time kept changing and I waited a bit over 2h for food

Great food and reasonably priced
