First Time in the restaurant. Hair was found twice once in the ice and other time in the food. Reported it to the waiter and they seem that they didn’t t really care (not even a apology). Food Hygiene is zero from me.

We celebrated my partner's 60th birthday here and it was a wonderful evening. The staff were really helpful and allowed me to bring a cake and balloons into the restaurant in advance. On the night they were so attentive and professional. The food and service were really fantastic, thank you so much!

Booked Turknaz for our darts night out. The food was absolutely gorgeous and service was 10/10 he was lovely, attentive and funny. The only downfall was it was absolutely freezin we all sat with our coats on there was only two other people in and when we asked about the heating we were told it’s because your by the window. I’m sorry to say I’ll not be visiting again during the winter months as dining with your coats in isn’t acceptable for me. I own my own pub and I would have moved my customers if that had been the case away from the windows

Booked Turknaz online for New Years Eve ,as suspected it would be busy. What a good choice it was too - Lovely ambience inside, friendly and efficient staff .The food was amazing, and probably the most authentic Turkish meal we have had ,outside of Turkey . Generous portions & reasonable prices too. Definitely worth booking if like us you are visiting Whitley Bay.

Food was amazing. When Kudret and Anthony invited us (our office team) for a meal, I checked the facebook page and saw the pictures of the food and booked our table. Went on Saturday night and I thought the food looked nice in the pictures but it tasted even better than it looks. I got the Prawn Guvec for starter and the Chicken Shish for my main. Really wanted a dessert but was just so full, I couldn’t have fitted it in. Maybe next time!

A second visit to Turknaz having previously visited 2 years back. I did not leave a review then as the service was a bit abrupt and the card machine was just waved in our faces at the end without a please or thank you. Our second visit was so much better. I am happy to confirm the food, atmosphere and service were first rate. The Adana lamb and chicken dishes were just divine and the staff were very friendly. I'm pleased we went back as it won't be our last visit.

We've been here many times, and this time a bit disappointed. The food was again very good. Unfortunately the restaurant was pretty cold. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The espresso at the end was only lukewarm and inedible, the waiter cleared away the untouched cup, but the espresso was still charged. What bothered us the most was that you were only allowed to pay in cash (that was new to me). However, there is an ATM at the restaurant or in its glass front, and I was asked or asked to withdraw cash there. Something like that really disrupts the evening - it was storming and raining and I still had my jacket in the cloakroom but had to go outside to get money. The fee for the withdrawal was £4.99! It was all unexpectedly unpleasant.

nice ambiance, but the food was a bit disappointing. I ordered a dish that was supposed to have an equal amount of lamb and chicken, but it was mostly chicken, with very little lamb. The overall taste was decent, but the quality of the meat, especially the lamb, was not up to par. It could have been better balanced and of higher quality for the price.

One word it's "Big" Turkish coffee - was expensive especially to an espresso, but first watch a YouTube video on process. So was worth it and definitely tasted great. It is cash only when we went, but right outside the door is a ATM, so quick in and out. The staff are amazing and pleasant. Also the views are well worth the visit.

The food here is good but when going to pay they said “sorry cash only, but there is a cash point for free at the door”, so obviously this happens all the time the fact that the cash point is built into their restaurant between the doors. This should have been pointed out before the meal not afterwards. Ordinarily none of us take anything but phones with us to pay. It just happened I had a debit card with me. But what happens if I hadn’t have had it and what if we had spent more than the withdrawal limit. What would you do detain us at the restaurant, hostage whilst a person went to find another card or some cash. Inexcusable and very bad practice.

The food that we had was good, but the service was slow... We waited 25 minutes for our main course empty plates to be cleared, and we were going to order more drinks and dessert, but we didn't want to wait any longer, so we paid and left. There were only three of us out for a birthday meal, and the larger tables definitely got preferential service.

Not what we were expecting, Turkish bread was seeded buns when we expected flatbreads, the bread under the Adana was soggy and unappetising. My rice and lamb was lovely, plenty of lamb and vegetables, chips were soggy so had to be air fried to make them palatable. Overall disappointing. It is a shame as we have eaten at the restaurant previously and really enjoyed it.

The only good thing about the restaurant was the Ambience. Lady server was sweet and helped in selection of food. Food was alright, portions are smaller than the exorbitant price you pay for. The boy server was cocky and had an attitude. Terrible customer service. Despite pointing out the undercooked chicken, he had an attitude, zero attention by the chef to atleast come out and seek the problem. He cleared the plates without giving attention to the problem and only just highlighted its double cooked, which one can see from pictures 😞, its not. I’ cook chicken everyday and I know what cooked chicken looks like. Paid a high price for what we had and charged an unjustified service fee for a cocky attitude Never returning again. Pictures for proof for the undercooked chicken and bill! 👎❌

We went on my birthday as a family. We had two boys aged 12 and 10 years old and three adults. We opted for a starter each and a main course each. The steak I had was very tender and just right for how I had ordered it. It had a nice salad with it and I had a side of chips to go with it. It was very tasty. The other adults enjoyed their choices and the boys liked their choices too. The food arrived hot and tasty in a reasonable time. Great experience.
