Never fancied this place but everyone I know who is a " foodie" has been talking about how good it is! They were right. The place was rammed solid, great atmospher , BYO, so bill seemed small compared to usual! Ha The staff were super. Fast , helpful and hard working Brilliant food- massive choice and an open kitchen!

When you hear THREE different people in the same week discussing their positive experiences you know it is time to have a look. I was expecting good things after reading Tripadvisor and was staggered at the quality, quantity and value of the food. Having not been before we were steered towards the all inclusive meal and it paid dividends. We... More

Went here on a work night out. Staff decor and atmosphere was good. The food was also good but I was disconcerted to see many non Lebanese dishes on the menu-not very authentic! Saying that the actual Lebanese stuff was very nice - the meat cooked very well and quantities satisfying (too much to be honest). And the cost reflected... More

I love this place. I've been going since it opened and have been thrilled for Mustafa and his team in watching it grow into the successful business it now is. He produces fresh honest food. If you are not sure what to pick let Mustafa do it for you. He will happily explain each dish and make recommendations. He recently... More

Our 3rd visit to Albaik, in want of supper having spent a hot day wandering around the Quayside. Firstly, you can judge a place by its loos and these were spotlessly clean and they provided 3 bottles of anti-bac wash for the customers. We had a couple of wraps and shared some chips, all of which were fab! They put... More

I've been to this restaurant twice in a number of weeks and I've been impressed both times! Both times I've booked as it's a popular place and queues can be out of the door depending upon the time. I love Lebanese food and have sampled the cuisine numerous occasions in the Middle East and I can safely say this place... More

What a great restaurant this place is even if it is out of town. It's situated close to the Byker Wall at the top of Byker Bank in the former Plough public house. My wife and I decided to try it for a special occasion and weren't disappointed. Not being familiar with mid-Eastern food we asked the waiter what he... More

Visited Albaik for the first time yesterday, it won't be the last. Parked outside the door, friendly waiter suggested £15 per head meal which we accepted. Lots of tasty food, in fact so much that despite trying to eat it we had to take some home with us. Restaurant was busy mid week, so I think booking is necessary.

Great restaurant, it's not on the menu but you can give them a budget & they'll bring a table full of delicious surprises. The mezze is always great & I would recommend the fish platter too. Just a stones throw from the great Cumberland Arms traditional pub up from the ouseburn valley. They also do a take away service, delivering... More
