Zenobia Arabian street food

Head down Chillingham Road towards Heaton and you'll find yourself in front of something genuinely different. Zenobia does Arabian street food the right way: think charred meat wrapped in soft flatbread, proper grilled chicken that's been marinated with actual spices rather than sadness, and mezze that tastes like someone's nan actually made it. The 4.7-star rating isn't accident—locals round here have clocked that this place gets the fundamentals right. It's unpretentious, quick, and the kind of spot where you're genuinely eating well without the theatre or the premium Quayside prices.
