Delicious food. Great portion sizes. Friendly service.

Fabulous lunch at Kafeneon with my friend yesterday.It was restaurant week so we booked a table which was upstairs . The waitress looking after us was 1st class so helpful and friendly . We chose from the special menu - we shared a starter of dips and breads and to follow we ordered the pastichio and chicken souvlaki- I did ask if I could order a side of fried zucchini’s but they weren’t on the menu . Our waitress came back with our wine and said the chef was going to serve fried zucchini’s instead of chips with the souvlaki- I thought that was so lovely . My friend and I shared the main courses and both were delicious especially the zucchini’s . The plan was to share a starter of dips, and a dessert but we were so full we couldn’t manage another thing . I just love this place I have been going since it opened many years ago when it was part of the original Simply Greek restaurant all owned and run by same Greek family . The food is the best Greek food outside of Greece in fact I would say it’s better than many places I’ve eaten in Greece in recent years as lots of places cater to tourists over there sadly . Kafeneon is for me the best restaurant in Newcastle by a mile ! Thankyou !

We booked a meal in Newcastle Restaurant Week. The menu was varied and we chose 3 courses for £20. The starters we shared were a variety of hummus, lamb meatballs served with toasted pitta bread a salad. The mains we had were beef stiftado with rice and salad, and a lamb and halloumi burger., served with fries. All arrived promptly and piping hot. The baklava dessert came with cream and ice cream. All the food tasted authenticity Greek and delicious. My husband had a glass of pino grigio; but was a bit disappointed there was no Greek House wine. The service was excellent and we will definitely visit again. Lovely atmosphere.

The food was far too salty. Threat service and staff but food wasn’t great. Soup bland. Duck greasy wasn’t crispy. Wont be back sorry. But lovely staff. £165 for 3 people and we left most of it as too salty to eat.

Fabulous food, drinks and staff. First time here and will certainly be back

Fantastic food staff and atmosphere. My favourite restaurant

Amazing restaurant. Sat downstairs in the "Greek caves" - it reminded me of being on holiday in Greece. Truly delicious food. Restaurant Week menu was superb. 2 courses for only £15 - excellent quality good and great value for money too. Service was speedy and food was piping hot at our table. Will definitely be recommending the restaurant to our family and friends. We will be back soon. We throughly enjoyed our visit to KafeNeon. Thank you.

I have been to the resturant Kareneon a few times its clean and staff are friendly.the food is amazing would defintely recomend it to anyone.Came for resturant week £15.00 for 2 course

Restaurant week, 3 course menu for £20 PP. Unreal value for money , food quantity and quality was amazing.

Absolutely amazing food we will be back soon and staff were very efficient

We loved it, everything we had from the special menu was beautiful and we thought the service was incredibly good. The stand out starter was probably the lamb meatballs, and the lamb and halloumi burger main. Slight shame that neither the orange cake or baklava dessert were available but a dessert cocktail was actually probably better anyway as portions were decent and a big dessert may have been too much. We will definitely be back.

4 of us had a meal here weds 2.30 during restraunt week. Absolutely great from start to finish. Attentive cheerful service lovely atmosphere and tbh great food. Not often all 4 of us enjoy every aspect of the day out but we did this time. Fully recommend this spot.

Visited with friends during Newcastle Restaurant Week for a lunchtime meet-up. Excellent food and plentiful, we could only manage 2 courses. Wonderful value for £15. Staff attentive but not intrusive. Lovely authentic atmosphere. We will certainly be back.

Out for food in restaurant week with my wife and our 2 friends. Only one place to go, for a Greek at Kafeneon. As always, the food was outstanding! Meatballs, pittas, dips and halloumi fries to start, all fantastic! Then the mains, stifado, souvlaki and pastitsio was all incredible. And all for less than £90 for 4 people. The 2 courses for £15 is a bargain. And even better when the food is 10/10. Service from all the girls was first class also! Will return, 100%!

Went last year with my wife as part of the NE1 restaurant week and really enjoyed it, so thought I’d try again with a mate. The place was buzzing but there was plenty of friendly staff and the service was really good. The food, as last time, was superb. We had 3 courses for £20. Very authentic, very tasty and all washed down with a bottle of Greek Wine. For such quality food the price was exceptional. Recommend to anyone.

Absolute beautiful food as always from kafeneon

We went here for restaurant week and had a great 3 course meal with great service for only £20. Would definitely recommend.
