It was of my opinion that the drink would be served in a tall glass or a tumbler. But to my amazement was served in a red wine glass. Oh and the coke was flat.<br /><br />For starters I had the houmous and Pitta bread. I found the houmous to be "Watered down and tasteless" and the salad  which was served on the side was not fresh. It looked like it was two days old.<br /><br />Not a very good start to the evening I thought. I had taken my time over my starter say 15 minutes.<br /><br />My starter plate was cleared and two minutes later my main course was served. it then occurred to me that the main course had been sitting there and had not been made fresh to order, or the chef had got the timing wrong.<br /><br />For main course i ordered the mixed grill and a feta salad.<br /><br />The mixed grill came with three bite sized cubes of meat, chicken which were very dry. A child sized portion of rice. There was a lamb chop which was hardly noticeable. There was also this long sausage which tasted hideous.<br /><br />I never thought "lightning would strike twice" as so to speak but the salad from the houmous starter dish turned up on the mixed grill plate and then to my amazement in the feta salad.<br /><br />For me the crowning moment was the Feta salad.<br /><br />Manky salad with grated feta. Can some one tell me where the olives were?<br /><br />I called the waitress over and complained I said the same salad has appeared three times, I wanted an explanation. I didn&#39;t get an answer. They kindly took the feta salad off the bill.<br /><br />After I had the meal I felt sick. I am not sure what was in that food but to me it was plain awful.<br /><br />I have ate in many turkish restaurants and this is by far the worst one, I don&#39;t even know how they have stayed in business this long.<br /><br />David - ManchesterIf you have read the other reviews then wait till you read this.<br /><br />The week before my business trip to Newcastle, I wanted to do some research on where the best turkish restaurant was in the city.<br /><br />I went on many websites and each time Red Mezze came up with some fab reviews. <br /><br />However my visit in October 2009 was probably the worst turkish meal I have ever had.<br /><br />I ordered from the waiter a diet coke for a drink.

From the other reviews I was expecting decent food, however I did not enjoy my meal. We paid forty pounds for a portion of nachos for 2, prawn fajitas for 2 and 3 cokes. The nachos came drenched in that cheesey sauce you&#39;d get with nachos at a cinema. There were plenty but they were not nice. The prawns in the fajitas were served with the tails still on...not ideal for preparing a fajita. The prawns and veg were served on a hot plate as I have often seen in Mexican restaurants however a lot of them became stuck to the plate and were therefore burnt and black. Our waiter didn&#39;t seem to be about and i had to wait a fair while to order more drinks. I didn&#39;t think the food was good enough for what we paid and I wouldn&#39;t recommend it.Didn&#39;t enjoy this restaurant at all.

To start we had calamares which were over cooked and or had been frozen and therefore were hard and chewy. King prawns which were cooked well but had no heads and had therefore lost alot of flavour. My main gripe with this restaurant is the quality of service, there was a problem with the chip and pin machine at the end of the meal- it was taking too long to process my cards, this would have been ok if not for the attitude of the co-owner (he informed me) who spent 5 mins argueing with me at the table and insisted on taking out his own card and charging himself 1p in order to prove that the machine was working which I felt inferred that there was a problem with my cards rather than the machine. Thankfully the payment went through on the second attempt. I find it unacceptable that as a client i was subjected to this kind of infantile behaviour and embarrasment at the end of my meal, surely it is not difficult to simply say "I&#39;m sorry madam there is a problem with the machine" and process the payment again. I would think that given the lack of customers that the management would want to try and encourage business and not drive it away.I ate in La Vita last night, in general the food was mediocre at best, i was especially disapointed that we were served margerine in place of butter, the food was cooked reasonably well however the ingredients were sub standard and this showed.
