This guide walks Newcastle by neighbourhood: Westgate Road and Elswick; City centre and Bigg Market; Jesmond, Gosforth and Gateshead; Verdict. Counts, hygiene shares and postcode clusters come from our directory; the map below is seeded on the city centre, and each neighbourhood links to the restaurants we list there.
Westgate Road and Elswick
NE4 along Westgate Road is the city's international food street and holds most of its Turkish and Kurdish grills, bakeries and kebab houses. Cheap and authentic; check hygiene ratings, which vary widely here.
City centre and Bigg Market
The centre has doner counters serving the Bigg Market nightlife and a few sit-down grills and meze restaurants around Grey Street and the Quayside.
Jesmond, Gosforth and Gateshead
The affluent north of the city and Gateshead across the river have very little Turkish food and consistent search demand. Jesmond's Osborne Road, dense with restaurants, has no Turkish grill.
Verdict
Newcastle is the only cluster in the North East and it is small. Quality and coverage are both open, and a family restaurant in Jesmond or Gosforth would be the first.
