The Mandrake Lounge in Newcastle upon Tyne

Arrived on holiday to discover it was shut. It’s Good Friday- not the best start to a break. Awaiting the restaurants response.

Went to the mandrake last night the food was delicious had the vegetarian platter to share for starter loads of food and the lamb shashlik. Absolutely stuffed and the food was delicious. Staff really friendly and great value. Would highly recommend.

Turned up at this restaurent after booking a table. We were visiting the area and the restaurent was CLOSED. As we were on an overnight stay, staying at the hotel next door with a disabled companion, had drinks at the bar so unable to drive to another place we were left having to source a takeaway. It's a shame as the menu looked amazing and was so looking forward to eating there. Get a grip I know its hard times but you can't offer a table and then be closed SHAME ON YOU

Just had dinner here for the first time tonight. A mix of hot & cold starters - all excellent. For the mains we had a Lamb and a Chicken - again excellent. Well looked after by the staff too. Would recommend.

As a huge fan of Lebanese food, visiting here for the first time was such a treat, the food was absolutely exquisite, it was presented beautifully, delicate and delicious. This place blows the bake out of the water with its quality. The service was fabulous too, the restaurant was clean, beautifully decorated (the ceiling mural is worth the trip alone), drinks were fresh and delicious!
