Wafi Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

The food here is excellent. Great service. Very friendly.

Loved the experience, felt like transported to the Arabian Nights. We were seated by Samo, was very polite, helpful and insightful. 10/10 experience, if you are looking for a great vibe with amazing food, this is the place to visit.

Dropped in for lunch on way back to station. I love Middle Eastern food, Most tender chicken kebab I have ever eaten and beautiful presentation. Strange purple lights that probably work better at night. A great menu!

This place is amazing 🤩 Everyone is so friendly and the food is amazing. Rarely when I find a place that does good burgers and this restaurant didn’t disappoint. I will definitely com back and try some more of this delicious food😍 Plus look at those waffles😎 Thanks for making my day better guuuuys xx

Food was genuinely Middle Eastern and very reasonably priced. Hannah served us efficiently and with a lovely smile

1st time here food was lovely until found a hair in my chips waitress came over she took it away to show manager and came back to offer me free chips which I declined and also my plate was chipped. It was clean and tidy service was ok but doubt I be back

Best food and service ever!! Wonderful hospitality - a real gem in the heart of Newcastle!!

Yasmina made a fantastic coffee! Absolutely perfect place.

Lovely venue for food. Excellent menu at very acceptable prices. The staff are very friendly and helpful

Five star food & service as always. Thank you.

The food here is of the highest quality, though it seemed to more succulent a little while ago. I wonder if they have changed their suppliers. Still, a good scoff for all.

Really delicious, authentic Palestinian food and welcoming , helpful staff. Great location, 2mins walk from mainline and Metro train station and bus links. A real pleasure to spend a few hours there with friends over a lovely meal.

Great food, attentive staff and a lovely modern restaurant! Food is priced very reasonably - well worth a trip if you’ve not been before!

Not my first visit, certainly not my last. Great place to eat, good food choices, nice atmosphere, hard working staff. Special mention to our waitress (Jasmina) as she was constantly running around serving, being attentive and good fun.

Beautiful food, options for everyone. It is halal and the meat is so good, big portions but it’s not too expensive, really lovely staff and it’s got a really calm but luxurious vibe

Exceptional range of very nice Lebanese dishes, served with style and charm by our waitress yazmina. Just a wonderful lunch

Excellent, tasty meal and prompt service.

Great food, very tasty and great quality.

Best place in town , food was great and fantastic atmosphere 👌

Lovely and welcoming restaurant. I was helped by Sam, I ordered my favourite dish ,the Lamb Biryani, which was the best I have ever eaten. Cocktails were delicious and the overall service could not be better. Brilliant hospitality and attentiveness from all staff!

Atmosphere is good. They have a separate section for Sheeha and for people like me Non-smokers. They have the best chicken Kofta in Newcastle. For us Pakistani’s Kofta Chicken is same as chicken kebab. They have a different name in UK. The service is always good.

Very tasty, fair value and good service. We'll be back!

The food was great and the service as well. Would defenetly go again.

Amazing food and service yasnena was my favourite

Came here with a group of friends, such a lovely environment all the staff very friendly and caring.

Food was very nice and the service great. I definitely come back!

Perfect food and beautiful place

Staff and food brilliant. Dog friendly downstairs.

Been here before and always been excellent.

Best Lebanese food I had recently. Freshly made good service stuff friendly . Will be back again definitely

Wafi Restaurant and Lounge in Newcastle upon Tyne is a fantastic dining experience with exceptional taste and great value for money. The host was welcoming, and the chefs were genuinely appreciative of feedback. It’s easy to overlook, but let’s remember to thank the chefs for preparing such an amazing meal! Let’s not forget absolutely stunning location and the atmosphere and the ambience next to none!

Good service mind, good shisha, good drink 🤩 and I don’t know how to upload picture

Excellent food - including good vegetarian options - reasonable prices, faultless waiting staff (Hanna) who could not do more to make our visit as good as possible. Worth a visit any day of the week, not just the weekend.

My first visit to this restaurant was with some work colleagues and I loved it. I've since returned with my dad, sister and family and again tonight with my husband and daughter. Each time it's been fab. The food is great, super tasty and the staff are lovely, friendly and accomldating. Our waitress Hannah was just lovely, warm, friendly, kind and attentive. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much x

Excellent staff have a great attitude and helped with my dietary issue. Lovey smiley waitress. Food is delicious.

2&1/2 stars really, food was nice but lamb bit tough, main waiter was friendly and attentive another one with some weight on him and kinda floppy hair and dark skin outright ignored me to my face when stopping and seeing I had my hand raised making eye contact with him to he then sat down and chatted to a lady customer having a whole meeting with her. How unprofessional and sick. Totally soured the experience tbh

Beautiful food, may God bless you

The best Arabic restaurant I ate in in Newcastle. The staff are nice and kind, and its location is great and close to the centre. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🙏

The food is very delicious and the service is very wonderful

Delicious food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices

1- The taste is less than normal 2-For a very small quantity 3- The price is high 4- The most important thing is bad manners and behavior📍 This is the last time I deal with them

We have been to wafi a week a go for the Palestinian breakfast which was amazing and great value for money, the best falafel ever. And today we ordered food in work we had the £10 munch boxes which was great too. Everyone loved their food the ones who had the chicken or the lamb 👌🏻

A restaurant with a Lebanese specialty. A quiet and pleasant atmosphere inside with specific music on mute. The food is tasty and well presented. Friendly staff.

Ordered from here on Uber eats last night and it hit the spot. Decent chicken shawarma wrap and battata hara too, though the chips were slightly below par. Service was quick, and we were able to pick up our food and leave within minutes of walking through the door. Not too many people there but that may have been because it was 9:30pm on a Sunday night.

Good food reasonable price. Big varied menu with range for all tastes. Bit of a wait for food but would reccomend

Delicious food, nice service, interesting Arabic music that created the atmosphere.I recommended!👍

First visits, good selection of food served hot but a little slow in taking our order and receiving food, however we were early being just after 5pm and not all the staff had arrived. Enjoyed the food and would have no hesitation in returning. Thanks

Lovely food. Massive portions. Good value.

Waiter was really nice he gave me a free water when i was all sweaty and didn’t feel best and all the football was amazing would come again most definitely and bring mates and loved ones their !

The shakshuka was perfect as if I was eating in Palestine. Wonderful place

Gorgeous food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere

Food was good, very spicy and flavoursome not just hot.

Very good food and drinks and stuff and Owens 👏👍

We did not enjoy the food, unfortunately, and it took a while to arrive. We got the impression that deliveries took precedence over sitting customers.

ive tried all the Lebanese places in Newcastle.... this place is among the best.... but it wins hands down for value and price.... awesome

Very good food and service. Mo was very kind and friendly. Great place!

Asked for food on entry. Escorted to upstairs . Made sure we could access Shisha upstairs too which was granted only to be told it would be double the price. When asked why this was, the"Manager" said it was because it was a V.I.P lounge. I do not recall any sign stating such and was not informed of such. I did not accept the "Managers" defensive response when confronted with the question as to why we should obliged paying double price for a Shisha because of climbing a flight of stairs. I further had to endure an hours wait for the said Shisha to made up having asked twice as to where it was. When it eventually cam it had apple written on but was licquorice.The "Manager " stated to one of my friends that he did not like my attitude which I find most u professional. He never once apologised for the delay or misunderstanding and appeared very defensive in his approach. I did not pay for my Shisha. Rip off merchants.Will not be back!

Their prices are expensive, the food is very little, the wraps are very small, and the management’s treatment is very bad and disrespectful with people when I told them that there is poetry in the food ☝️ The last time I and my friends ate there

I enjoyed the music and it was a very serene atmosphere with good service and cold drinks. I also watched the afcon there and it was brill

Great Lebanese food and specialties. I'll recommend the chargrill Méchoui and Shawarma and generous portions. All food Halal.

Delicious food and really friendly team, will definitely be back

Really loved the food it was delicious delivered quick and on time absolutely happy will definitely order again

Food took very very long to come and still expected a service charge

Ordered on JustEat for delivery. Paid around £2 extra for delivery fee. On arrival of food, driver rings me and I had to meet the driver in the car park as he said he "could not leave the car". A ridiculous and lazy excuse. Not a delivery service to someone's door. I'd been busy working all day and couldn't be bothered with hassle of arguing so I collected my food. Otherwise the food was fantastic and on time. Good portions and well packaged. Can't fault the actual quality of fresh food. Shame the delivery driver can't do their job of simple delivery to a customer's door. Other delivery drivers have no issues coming up into apartment buildings. I will avoid ordering in future from here unfortunately due to this being inconvenient.

Lovely customer service, great food!

Authentic Lebanese Joint. We had Zeit Ou Zatar, Lebanese olives, vegetable biryani, chicken baryani, hommos, bread, and dessert Baklava. Amazing food, we loved all of it. The staff was courteous, and the service was prompt. Must Visit.

This was super awesome very welcoming for any one mostly African. The song and service was just perfect... can't wait to be back... believe

Consistently excellent food, been going here regularly for the past two years and everyone that works there is lovely. Check their Instagram for some great deals.

Everything was good, except the wash Ròom ( just one star). The little girl at the first floor was nice and friendly. I monitored she was greeting everyone with a Smile. Five stars for service is actually for her. Salad was tasting vinegar and I don't like that taste at all.

Wafa's food is delicious, and their customer service is best in class. You're welcomed when you walk in, and your order is taken shortly after seating. The portions are spot on, and the wait time is very reasonable. The hosts and servers are kind and attentive but not overbearing. The restaurant and lounge are nicely decorated. The customer toilets are ample, clean, and NOT freezing in winter. After two dine-ins and a takeaway, Wafa is quickly becoming a family favourite.

Waiting time is a joke! Never again - terrible service.

Will not order again! I have been waiting for 2 hours and after calling them they have told me that the order has not left the restaurant yet! This is insane. I WILL NOT ORDER from them again (plent of other Lebanese restaurants in town).

Everything about Wafi lounge was wavyyyyy and amazing 🤩😍, I really did enjoyed my time there

Had such a great evening here - lush cocktails, food looked amazing and quite busy so clearly popular!

The place is spotless with very tasteful decor. Food was excellent and the waiter was pleasant and attentive. Will definitely be going back.

A very good restaurant, the food is great and the service is excellent. I would like to return when I have a bit more time so have more things from the menu.

Been twice now when visiting. Will go every time. Fabulous 👌

Friendly staff, value for money.

Very cool place to be. Lovely customer service

Wafi is one of the finest places where you can sit and enjoy your time smoking shisha with various beautiful flavors and enjoying your drink and your time there, but if you decide to eat food, it is very delicious and luxurious.

Made a reservation with a group of friends, was left out in the rain because they did not pass on details of the reservation. When I expressed my frustration about being kept under the rain due to their inability to keep records. All I got was ' Do you want to get in or do you want to go home?'

Never leave reviews but this place was shocking tonight! We had a booking for a large party and a few people were late but the attitude of the servers was 🤢 terrible. At the end when splitting up the bill I had paid my part but was held at the door by security as there was still an outstanding balance, even though 10+ guests including the couple that booked were still there. Even after confirming we had paid they still didn’t want to let us leave. Have never experienced that before. Plus the food was mediocre at best, served late with a side of attitude. Only nice things were the decor and cocktails.

Great food and service, nice atmosphere

Yah very nice food and friendly staff. I only stopped for quick bite and got my self lamb wrap and those homemade chips so delicious wish I stayed newcastle for longer and have a proper meal.

Very useless customer service and unprofessional management.

Beautiful place. Pay £5 to get in year you want access to the restaurant only. Wait 15 minutes before waitress comes to take your order. While waiting you ain’t allowed to go to the lounge and dance , so you sit and stare 30 minutes or more. Yet they call it the same establishment. Inside is beautiful and classy. Food is faultless it’s the service that leaves a metallic taste
