This is a great Lebanese restaurant. Very tasty food at very reasonable prices. Nice to visit a bring your own bottle place too. This restaurant is in a less than salubrious location, but is worth going out of your way for. Great atmosphere and always busy and buzzing! Yum!

Nice place, really good food. Sometimes you get the feeling they are in a rush to have you leave. I recommend here if you want to try great food.

Can't fault the food, service or atmosphere. When i first started going we asked to spend £15 per head and a great selection of food was presented. Now i know what i like and order straight from the menu. We even get food delivered which is always at our door within an hour. Try it you can't go wrong. Delicious.

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
