• Middle Eastern • Newcastle upon Tyne

Returning for a second lunch at Kiln in Ouseburn proved that their high standards are no fluke, delivering another exceptional midday meal that matched the brilliance of the first. Every dish arrived with the same vibrant, Middle Eastern-inspired flavors, precise seasoning, and careful preparation that made the initial visit so memorable. From the satisfying plates to the charming setting, a second trip confirms this spot as an absolute gem that easily maintains its first class quality.

Food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Couldn't fault anything and as a result, I'm returning in a few weeks before my next trip to the theatre.
