Turknaz Restaurant in North Tyneside

Service slow ,food nice but expensive for what you got .

Unfortunately, they made errors with our orders, very slow service and some dish too hot and others served on cold plates . We were told they didn't accept card payments and told us to go outside and use the cash machine, disappointing service, We have not had these issues before, and your website needs to inform customers cards not accepted

The food we had was lovely, really tasty. However I can’t recommend this to anyone with children, unless they’re old enough to have/share a full adult portion. We went with our 6yo, there’s no kids menu which is fine. But usually when that’s the case at Indians etc they can usually offer half / smaller portions of their main courses. I hadn’t thought to check in advance thinking we’d just get some BBQ chicken, chips and bread or something. We were told this wasn’t possible and the only option was to get a full adult chicken dish, replace the salad with chips and take home what she didn’t eat. At nearly £20 a main course this was not an option since she’d probably only eat a quarter of it and we were staying in a local hotel. So she ended up sharing with me with an extra side when I’d much rather have had my entire chicken dish! As I say lovely food and although they were friendly enough, especially with my daughter, the food options for her were disappointing.

Its 5th time order from here,first 3 was good but last 2 orders , 4th order received text message says free beer when you order on specific day.Received order small portion and nothing free but its ok maybe my mistake i did not mentioned.But today my order was 2 portions of adana and one portion ali nazik i have never seen like that small portions for spending 52£ previously adana has contains 2 pieces of meat now one,specialy about Alinazik even they didnt put one piece.3 ppl on family all them still hungry,salad meat and rice just a bit of everything.Normaly i am not writing reviews but,Just this is my last order from this place.

Absolutely love this place, excellent food and a wide selection which makes it great when you have vegans, vegetarians, pescatarian and meat eaters in the group. Loved it so much I’m having my birthday party there!

First time here and not disappointed. Food was lovely good portion size. Staff very attentive. Would recommend that you book a table. A slight issue that i had was that we had to use cash to pay the bill

Food was delicious but a massive inconvenience when asked to pay by cash. Only option is to use thier cash machine, which they will make money per transaction. Turknaz need to get with the times!

The atmosphere is so serene and the decor is beautiful. The service is first class from the second you go in right up to when you leave. The staff are attentive without being intrusive and caring. The food. Oh my Lord, the food was the best food my husband and I have ever tasted. Turknaz is a must for a authentic Turkish cuisine and atmosphere 10 out of 10 and then some.

Mediocre food - quite bland flavours and uninspiring. No bulgur either. Service was good but overall poor value. On that subject it's CASH only!!! To this weird extent that they have a full scale ATM next to the entrance and on their property!

The food was excellent. However, the response from the staff afters spilling coke on the table and soaking my daughter's trousers was very disappointing. There was no proper apology from the waiter or the management! We will probably eat here again, but I hope they read this and take note.

Luscious food! Xx. Highly recommend.

Always love going here, food is delicious, staff friendly and service is great 😊

Food was nice but not very hot and not very big quantities. And is a little pricey.

Starters were nice, had creamy garlic mushrooms and meatballs in a tomato sauce but then the mains were exactly the same, creamy garlic mushroom sauce but with chicken and the stifado was the same sauce as the starter. This was changed for a lamb kebab. Food was decent but just felt that the menu seemed to be very samey. The other thing that spoiled it was the lack of flatbread. Was given a seeded bun to mop up the starter sauce and when I asked if there was flatbread was given 2 "mexican" tortillas which I was then charged £5 for. Thankfully the staff member who was looking after us was very understanding and sorted the issues out straight away, also brought us a couple of deserts on the house and removed the fee for the tortillas. Not sure if we will be back tbh, there's a better Turkish restaurant in Morpeth which is more authentic

Disappointing Decline in Quality I recently dined at a once-beloved Turkish restaurant that has unfortunately seen better days. The overall experience left much to be desired. The food, once a delight to the taste buds, now lacks the vibrancy and freshness it used to possess. Additionally, the insistence on cash payments only is an inconvenience in this digital age. It's disheartening to witness the decline of what was once a gem in the culinary scene.

Really enjoyed my visit to Turknaz yesterday evening. The food was delicious and had quite generous servings. The service was very good and there was a great atmosphere. They asked us to pay in cash (but they have a cash machine just outside the front door)

So disappointed on our latest visit to this restaurant. Such a fall from what it used to be. After booking 3 weeks in advance for a birthday we arrived at booked time to be stuck upstairs at a table not set, next to cold drafty doors in what felt like an overflow area.half of the party ended up sitting with coats on for our visit. Service was slow nearly 75 mins to receive our main course and then it was warm at best, add a dirty wine glass with this. We just wanted to leave to be honest and upon complaint we where offered a round of drinks after gskf the party had left. Top this with cash only no option to pay by card in this dsy and age awhole round bad night out certainly won't be returning or recommending Turknaz again.

2nd visit and this time was just as awesome 😎 as the first 🥇🥇🏆🥇🥇

This review is for a delivered ordered not an eat in order. £24 for a mixed grilled that was dry and very small. We love Turknaz food but haven’t had it for a while. Obviously everything has gone up in price and down in size. But it defo wasn’t to the same standard as end of last year.

Was really lovely food. .. reduced by 1 star as they need to be more aware of dealing with allergies .. staff very friendly

Popped in on a whim... great tasting food, good service. Would come again.

Great service and good food! Arun & narshima were excellent. Punchy pricing £120 for 3 of us sharing a bottle of wine and a starter for 2.

Excellent service, atmosphere, food quality and taste. If you are trying for the first time, give the mezzo platters a try but they can be very filling. Main dishes are similarly generous portions but excellent flavours. The dessert menu is less inspiring with very little in the way of Turkish inspired options - bring back "Pudding that sticks to the plate" Anthony! Credit to Anthony and the whole team, both front of house and in the kitchen.

The restaurant is located at the sea front with a great view to the sea. One can easily find free parking space within, say, five min on foot from the restaurant. There are two floors in the restaurant. The ground floor is accessible to guests on wheelchair. There is an ATM next to the restaurant door. Having visited this restaurant many times during the last four years, I can confirm its continued high service and food quality. The menu offers a wide variety of Turkish food, also with the vegetarian dishes and those intended for kids. The wine list offers many Turkish, reasonably priced wines; all that I tasted over the years were of good quality.

Really disappointing visit. Food was average, if a little over-priced and staff inattentive. After finishing our main course we were left for 20+ minutes without anyone asking if we wanted dessert or more drinks. Shame.

Service very poor, humus served with a bread roll. How authentic is that not!!!!! Prices increased, portions decreased. Food just ok, had a lot better and a lot cheaper Overall very disappointing and certainly not good value.expected a lot more.

A's usual food is excellent service 10/10

Come here often and always blown away by the quality and the flavours of the food. Cannot reccomend enough!

Il cibo buono ma devono avere POS per pagamento elettronico

Absolutely fantastic evening! Great food with great company. The service from the friendly and helpful staff was brilliant.

Went for a birthday meal, staff were lovely and went above and beyond for our baby

Christmas Day lunch to die for. The best ever for quality, cheerful staff and value for money on this special day

Went for dinner a couple of days before Christmas. The food was nice overall - we had a mix of dishes across the group. Service also nice. Unfortunately their card machines weren't working so we had to pay cash which was unfortunate.

Gorgeous food, amazingly tasty and the meat was exceptional. My only negative was being seated at table closest to the toilet, totally spoilt the experience for me, no atmosphere and had to direct everyone to the toilets!

Helens birthday food drinks great time highly recommended

The dishes are exquisitely prepared and infused with bold flavors, making them truly memorable. The seafront view is breathtaking, and the service provided by Mr. Ramzi is exceptional. His attentiveness and lack of pressure allowed us to savour each dish and truly immerse ourselves in the culinary experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an unforgettable Turkish culinary experience.

First time coming to this restaurant and the food was perfext! Service from Ramzi and Omer was amazing, very kind to us and gave us a free shot on the house so can’t complain :)

Had a great evening eating delicious food

Great celebration for my sister’s birthday. Omer made it very special. Excellent food. The perfect birthday celebration x

Managed to book a table at short notice and the food for all 4 of us was really. We did get out upstairs as the only table to begin with which was a bit odd as downstairs wasn’t full but once it filled up, the atmosphere was good.

Fantastic food. Best Turkish food we've had in a very long time! The bread was light and delicious, meat was tender (the ribs were incredible) and the sides were beautiful. The staff were very friendly and care about what they do. Especially Ramzi

A great meal as always on a wild and windy night. The food was fantastic as always, the service great, accommodating our party including a toddler who was treated like a special guest. Thoroughly recommend. Special mention to Ramzi for looking after us, especially the little one.
