Located on North Parade right by the seafront in Whitley Bay you will find Turknaz restaurant. It is just a short walk from Whitley Bay town centre and there is a couple of car parks located just a few minutes walk away. We visited on a Saturday evening and had prebooked a table online the day before and I am glad we did as it was busy when we visited.
We were greeted and showing to our table and giving menus and drink orders taking quickly. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri (£8.50) it did take a long time to arrive but it was probably one of the nicest daiquiris I have had. My husband got a pint of Efes Turkish beer (£5) which arrived super quick.
Food
They have a range of hot or cold Mezzes for starters, I ordered the Hellim (£7.50) which was cooked perfectly and well presented with a side salad. It was so delicious I would definitely get it again and recommend it.
My husband got the Mitti Kofte (£6.95) which was lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce, he really enjoyed these.
We were also given a complimentary bread basket which my husband used to mop up the tomato sauce on his meatballs.
Onto mains and I went for the Chicken Shish (£17.95), marinated chicken breast skewers cooked on the charcoal. This came with rice, salad and a yummy chilli dip.
My husband got the Turknaz mixed grill (£23.95) marinated lamb, chicken, adana and lamb cutlets. This also came with rice, salad and chilli dip.
Both meals were beautifully presented and cooked well. We also ordered a potion of chips but we didn't need too and didn't eat many as the meals were so filling with the rice and salad.
We had to try the baklava (£5.95) for dessert which came with ice-cream and was delicious.
What We Thought
We both really enjoyed our meal at Turknaz, the food was delicious and well presented. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with groups celebrating birthdays, families, couples and groups of friends. Service was a little bit slow at times but it was a Saturday evening and there was some big groups in when we visited so was to be expected.
Our total bill for the evening for two starters, two mains, a portion of chips, one dessert, a beer and cocktail was £82.70 which I thought was reasonable for what we had. I would definitely return as we had a nice time and enjoyed the food.
