Iztuzu — Restaurant in North Tyneside

I don't know what happened to this place, but while service and atmosphere are very good, the food has really lost its edge! Falafels were too dry. Especially since they are served on dry humus- in the future, i hope they give side of sauce and moist humus with falafel. The adana has halved in size. No cooked tomatoes with the lamb and chicken skewers? Mains are much smaller, so now definitely need to order starter or desert. The cold meze platter was very good though.

Don't sit upstairs when it's busy, the acoustics is horiffic so it sounds incredibly loud and noisy from everyones talking- they need cloth (decorative curtains) on walls or ceiling to absorb and dampen the sound. Its uncomfortable experience.

The mains were a real disappointment for us, which is a shame because the staff were so helpful, attentive, and patient. And it's a very aesthetically pleasing venue. It looks nice to be in.

Sadly, I may not go back for a while. This is the 2nd disappointing...

Took me far too long to get round to this review, but here we are! I kept the business card in my wallet and it sprung on me today that I should really leave a review. I was here with 18 guys last month on a Stag-do, and was told we should go North Shields for a more calm and scenic day before the night comes. We had a stag-do and a 40th to celebrate, and I couldnt be more happiet stumbling across Iztuzu. It was clear they were shocked by 18 people walking in around 3pm randomly, but took to service effortlessly. They rearranged the tables so we could all sit together, menu was explained well, food came on time, cocktails were delicious and we got to speak with the owner! I have to note the decor is sublime too. All this, and it was raining! Imagine if it was a sunny day. Just goes to show how good the atmosphere is in here. When back in Newcastle, this is a must! Wishing you the best with...

I recently visited Iztuzu, a restaurant located in Tynemouth, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! The interior was beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

For starters, I tried the cold mezze platter and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, and it really set the tone for the rest of my meal.

As a main course, I ordered the mix grill for two, and it did not disappoint. The meat was cooked to perfection and had a fantastic flavor. The portion size was generous, and it was definitely enough to satisfy me and my partner.

Overall, Iztuzu was a breath of fresh air on Tynemouth Front Street. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience...
