L. S.

Went here with my family for some food, this place is lovely with friendly staff. We ordered a King Wafi Mixed Grill, Mixed Special Seafood and a Pepperoni Pizza. The Mixed Grill was tasty probably enough for 2 people, my wife loved the Chicken Shawarma and i loved both the Lamb Chops and Shish although all was tasty tbh, as for the Special Mixed Seafood, the grilled Sea Bass was lovely with nice big chunks of fish flaking off the bone however the King Prawns needed way less cooking which was a shame as they were big and meaty prawns, they were just too dry and way overcooked. The Pizza was delicious, my son loved it, he was to full to eat it all with all his chips too. All in all we had a great experience here and would definitely go back, oh and the Shiraz wine we had to was really nice too! excluding the prawns it would have been 5 stars 👍😁👌

N. A.

I've been here three times now. There are some good dishes and others are not freshly cooked or very greasy. The staff are not friendly at all . I just go there when there is no where to go. Could be improved with little effort if the owner cares enough for the business.

E. W.

Fab place, good menu, delicious food, really fresh. Cocktail menu looked good but as it was dry Jan, we opted for a non alcoholic cocktail, which was really refreshing.

A. L.

One of the best Arabian/Lebanese restaurants in Newcastle, the food is more than delicious

M. W.

Came a few days ago for a meal with my girlfriend, it was quite busy in the restaurant but the service was still very quick. The food was delicious, we were served by a young lad named Ahmed who was very polite and helpful.

G. Y.

It was so good i wanted to eat more than the wafi king grill it was better than the other restaurants. The desert was so good especially the chocolate cake.

n. k.

The food was amazing, far better and authentic than anywhere I've eaten on Edgware Rd, in Manchester, Leicester or Nottingham. 100% I shall be coming again. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They made me feel very welcomed and I could not leave without giving my compliments to the chef himself.

M. M.

The best Mediterranean food in Newcastle, so tasty,, the stuff are friendly and so nice,, two times they offer sweet free kindly… I usually recommend it to everyone who visits Newcastle

Nice cocktails and nice place. Staff could seem a little more enthusiastic when you order a round of cocktails, after all they do have a menu of them

P. G.

Excellent cocktail bar, had a great night!! I also left my jacket there which they kept safely for me when I returned the next day to collect it.

V. W.

I enjoyed every bit of my time only wished they didn't close at that 3AM.

C. P.

Decent food although there wasn’t much vibe at lunchtime . The Turkish coffee was great but my chips were cold :( Been here before for shisha in the evening and there is more of an atmosphere . Dated decor !

C. S.

Beautiful place, modern, and clean!! Good night out in this place music is great too. Highly recommended!!

C. M.

H. Y.

Good Lebanese food but small portions compared to the prices

R. M.

Visited reasonably early evening mid week and ate in the restaurant as a family. The food was good, and the atmosphere and service OK. They did make a couple of errors with our order, but we're friendly enough and it was pretty good value.

G. H.

Excellent food, lovely staff. Outside seating area really good. Premium location. Inside seating area currently closed as per government lockdown guidance, hopefully we will get to try that soon, once the pandemic is over.

M. P.

Great restaurant, Lebanese food fabulous, ambience great, staff friendly and helpful. We were outside, and when it started to rain we were moved inside without fuss. A real treasure for Newcastle.

L. R.

Amazing Lebanese food at a reasonable price, staff are helpful and friendly. The decor inside is nice, with an open kitchen. They have a pretty good Shisha bar at the front entrance and a bar upstairs. Really good venue well worth a visit.

C. P.

A. M.

We loved it here, great music, atmosphere, service and cocktails. Only annoying things where we only got a 2 hour time slot due to covid but we could have spent hours here and we couldn’t get a shisha upstairs. But We’ll definitely be back the next time we come to Newcastle.

N. S.

A great place to relax and unwind. Customer service is great, sheesha flavours available are immense and the vibe of the whole place itself is great

Popped in here for a coffee last weekend and ended up staying to have lunch. The coffee was the best I've had in a very long time and the kamb wraps we had were absolutely delicious. I can't believe that it has taken us so long to try the place out. We shall be regulars from now on.

E. M.

Nice atmosphere with friendly staff, Tea is great, my friend ordered a shisha ,he was satisfied. I like this place especially the view of street.

Went there with a party of about 12 and I think that I was the only person that finished all of their food. Very tasty and plenty of it. The staff were helpful and knew straight away what food I could eat for my dietary requirements. Great place to visit for a group - plenty of space and fast service.

Visited with my partner on saturday night The food was amazing The best hummus we had ever eaten reasonably priced attentive staff great atmosphere would highly recommend

G. A.

Amazing place to chill out with friends or family! It's a really cosy and welcoming atmosphere, a place to be without any doubt. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to spend a nice and quality time there! It feels to be in the Middle East for a while with that atmosphere. Mash'Allah, the place is lovely!

m. a.

Ridiculously good food, and you get loads of it!!! The family love it here, and regularly pop in when in Newcastle.

O. P.

It's a nice place for people with Lebanese taste and who loves Lebanese food. Quantity is good enough. Also has a place for Sheesha which is also a nice thing. Near to Life Science Centre

S. H.

Excellent food great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Today for lunch we had hommos starter with Lebanese bread and shawarma chicken wrap and wafi mixed shawarma wrap.👍

D. O.

Nice place to hang out, chill and relax.

W.

The customer service is horrible, no respect for customers. Music is good though. Just need better customer service.

Ö. O.

They prepare almost excellent shisha compared to average UK level. The flavour variety is sufficient to make you think on your decision. The restaurant works well and the staff is quite social. Over service is slow but the work flow is stable. They are kind and relaxed.

I. H.

Amazing food and real good value. Baryani was off the scale for flavour and taste. Would be a regular if I lived locally. Staff were excellent

K. S.

Good shisha with excellent service. Just want to mention the uncomfortable chairs with little leg space.

D. a.

Great restaurant and even better food.

J. G.

Very friendly environment however, it's a very formal environment. Don't expect five star service. More than ever able if you want a good shisha kick. This place could do better on its presentation.

y. n.

Lovely staff, lovely food.

O. C.

Nice cocktail lounge and good staff

D.

Nice enough place and food on a random visit on a Sunday afternoon

J. U.

Had to change the shisha flavour it did not taste right they got it right at the end

R. 1.

L. R.

I came to Newcastle I went to this shisha bar I really enjoyed it and they really friendly. I had a good time

S. B.

I love this place. The Sisha are amazing, the staff are great and the atmosphere is brilliant! We thought "how could Newcastle get any better?". One of the boys says "what about a shisha bar?"... we googled it and it was around the corner of our hotel. We will definitely be coming back here!

J. S.

Great place, friendly staff and a good atmosphere

K. W.

This place takes you to a Mediterranean world and you won't believe it for being in the middle of Newcastle. Proper authentic food and nostalgic atmosphere.

J. L.

Spend a lot of time in Lebanon and the Middle East, what marks a good restaurant in downtown Beirut is the welcome, freshness of the food, and nailing the basics like tabouli, baba ganoush and the Arabic bread. The food at the Wafi Lounge is as good as the best we have eaten in Lebanon and elsewhere in the middle east, Bassam and the guys there should be proud, we love the place.

K. V.

Wafi lounge is always great, always try to get you seated!

M. S.

One of the best in Newcastle. Shisha bar and great Drinks

A. L.

Very friendly staff. First try of Lebanese food. Slightly off putting at the entrance to the restaurant people were smoking but other than that a pleasant experience.

R. V.

Great lebanese in Newcastle just next to the life centre. Good lunches if you go for a selection.

y. h.

Delicious food and nice shisha 👌🏼

Good music and chilled atmosphere upstairs.

M. A.

Food is great and staff are helpful

W. D.

Nice food good staff

L. D.

Great place for shisha and people watching 👌

A. M.

You don't expect a shisha bar to have excellent service but the people working here are all very friendly. They will sort out everything for you e.g. change your coals/clean our ash and ask if everything is okay. Flavours did seem a bit off though..

M. W.

Great food and good value. Pleasant staff and cosy

l. T.

service was very slow but food was good. shwarma was delicious. humous was the best but not enough in the dish

J. S.

One of the best restaurants in Newcastle , I love shawerma and mankesh so much

i. K.

I think this is the only place in city that you can smoke shisha. For shisha it is cash only but for the food and drink you can use ypur card. Shisha is good. Food is also delicious. Try shawarma and humus.

F.

Clean restaurant and tasty food

T. M.

Very good Lebanese cuisine, service nice enough.

Decent Lebanese faire, attentive service and Shisha lounge for those like a Shisha. Went there with 3 work colleagues and we all ordered a Mixed Grill-consisting of different lamb and chicken kebabs with a side. We ended up with too much food in the end but we all enjoyed our meals. The staff were friendly and helpful.
