Established in 2014 inside a handsome old stone cottage on Front Street, Benton, Lezzet quickly became one of Newcastle's most loved restaurants. We offer a fine-dining environment - perfect for quality time with family, a romantic dinner, or a celebration with friends.
We cook authentic Turkish food using ingredients sourced directly from Turkey, alongside the finest local produce from the North East. Our charcoal grill runs every day. Outdoor seating, takeaway, and private event bookings are all available.
We have a proper passion for cooking. Love is the secret ingredient that makes every meal taste magical.
The Lezzet Family
The smoke, the heat, the char over live coals. This is the soul of Turkish cooking and it cannot be replicated. Every dish from our grill carries that irreplaceable truth.
Key ingredients are sourced directly from Turkey. We also work with the finest local producers across the North East - authenticity and provenance, every week, every dish.
Every dish is cooked to order, made fresh, made properly. There are no shortcuts here - not on a Tuesday lunchtime, not on any night.
We are a family restaurant. Guests are treated like guests in our home. Newcastle has noticed and kept coming back for over ten years.
