Since opening in 2014, Lezzet has built a reputation for excellence. The restaurant’s owner and chef, Izzet Zengin, brings decades of experience and a deep passion for Anatolian flavours to every dish. From tender lamb grills to delicate mezze plates and rich desserts, the menu reflects both tradition and artistry.

What sets Lezzet apart isn’t just its food. Customers consistently praise the restaurant for its clean, welcoming environment, attentive service, and warm, family-friendly ambiance. These qualities, combined with high-quality ingredients and masterful cooking, have positioned Lezzet as a standout contender for Michelin recognition.

“Lezzet is not just about eating; it’s about experiencing Turkish culture through food,” says a loyal patron. “Every visit is a delight—whether it’s the mezze, the seafood dishes, or the desserts. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the team always goes the extra mile.”

The restaurant’s team is fully committed to achieving a Michelin Star. They maintain consistent quality, attention to detail, and innovative culinary techniques, all while creating an authentic and enjoyable dining experience. This dedication is echoed in hundreds of glowing reviews across platforms such as Tripadvisor and Just Eat UK, where Lezzet has been praised as the best Turkish restaurant in Newcastle.

Lezzet’s ambition is clear: to be recognised not only locally but on an international stage for its culinary excellence. Achieving a Michelin Star would not only reward the hard work and passion of Chef Izzet and his team, but also put Newcastle firmly on the map as a destination for fine Turkish cuisine.

For anyone seeking authentic Turkish food, impeccable service, and an experience worthy of Michelin consideration, Lezzet Restaurant is a must-visit. Their journey toward this prestigious award is one the city—and the world—will be watching closely.
