The best restaurants serving Turkish food in North East

A real gem of a place. Fantastic food, good portions and excellent friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money.

We sailed the Panama itinerary on our recent cruise and enjoyed every minute of it despite my nearly losing my left hand middle finger due to the heat swelling it so much my titanium ring had to be cut off with a diamond rotary cutter. My wife and I loved the slides, go carts, virtual gaming experience, spa, and most of the excursions. The entertainment shows were fab and the resident Temperature Band was top class with a fab singer. The dining options were very good and we used 5 of the specialty dining options with only one disappointment at the Italian Onda by Scarpatti restaurant where we both chose veal that was inedible, tough and sinewy, it let the ship down completely! We have booked for the new Viva next year in July around the Med, hope it's Italian is much better! Of the excursions, the best were in the more civilised areas of Mexico and the United States, the others took too long to reach by either coach, boat or truck and then we had no time left to enjoy the place we were going to before we had to get back on the transport to get back to the ship! We would suggest the cruise directors make sure better information is given out in future giving distance and times to reach the destination points. Our stateroom attendant was excellent and our stateroom was very comfortable with an adequate balcony. I got stuck in the middle of the fast slide due to wearing a rash vest and had to get out through an escape hatch, but went on it again without the vest and all went well. Sun loungers and sun umbrellas were plenty on the decks, and waiter Services were good. Overall a great hiday cruise, loved San Francisco stay at the end of the cruise too.

Living in the area I have seen this shop change hands a couple of times so wasn't sure quite what to expect when I popped in a couple of months ago for a take out coffee on a day off. Delightfully surprised with the vast range of delicious coffees and savoury/sweet treats. The Turkish coffee+Turkish Delight+Baklava is worth a trip alone, likewise so is the Turkish Bagel. It's quirky and unique, clearly very popular with the locals. My only slight critique is your recently increased prices, so be careful not to price yourself out of the market as the cost of living works both ways. Otherwise, please stay in Monkseaton!

After waiting 1 hour 30 minutes from ordering and there being no sign of our starters…we left a particularly disappointing restaurant and headed here for a takeaway instead. The place was clean, the food excellent and the staff were efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. It was genuinely fab. I wished we’d come straight here and saved ourselves the time and disappointment. Thanks to the staff for being A1 ✅✅

Lovely breakfast and service, we shall be returning here!!! 👍👍

We walked in to place an order to takeaway. Food was prepared, sealed and bagged in a timely manner, order was for 7 people. We were given complimentary coffees whilst we waited. Restaurant has a 5* hygiene rating, is very clean, well kept. All staff were very smart and polite. Food was excellent quality. Very happy to recommend. Will return when back up north.

Came with a couple of friends after being recommended to us. Great spot in Tynemouth just a jump away from the beach. Absolutely delicious food and huge portions. We washed it down with the Turkish red wine. To be honest, you don't get to hear great tunes at most middle eastern restaurants so KUDOS to that.

Traditional Turkey food, very friendly services, highly recommended

My favourite takeaway in shields by far. Food is incredible regardless of what you buy, the staff are very polite and if you order delivery it’s always so fast. It’s so affordable and genuinely puts all of the other takeaways to shame. Try their parmo it’s tremendous!

Been going here for years since back when it was situated on Northgate. Was a little sceptical as not been for a while and read the very mixed reviews since the move and supposedly different owners. We were not disappointed. opted for my usual chicken wrap and it was huge! Very tasty chicken shawarma with salad packed in a wrap. Probably a little too much sauce in mine but was still delicious. Will definitely return.

Looks like ANOTHER night where Caspian has accepted my order and not delivered. It’s been nearly 2 hours at the time of writing and no answer from the shop… after a 6 month hiatus because of the last no show (that I never got refunded for), it seems nothing has changed… used to be great. What the hell has happened to this place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Delivered quickly however food turned up cold and missing a dip, besides this everything fine

Price going up and quality/portion size going down! What I find most strange about this place is when they post a menu through my letterbox it says they have a 5 star food hygiene rating, on the official food hygiene website it reads they have a 1 star food hygiene rating!!!

OMG the takeaway food (Shawarma wrap) was amazing, both chicken and also the Lamb, salad & sauces were a perfect accompaniment to the freshly made wraps, as were the chips, the service was speedy and the place had an buzz about it, everyone was happy staff, customers and children, will definitely be back. Thank you 😍
