A new restaurant serving up authentic Turkish cuisine will open later this week in Middlesbrough after the owners announced an official opening date for the venue. 

The new venue Lezzet's will open on 248 Linthorpe Road, at the former Efe's restaurant, on Friday (October 20) after months of preparing the venue in the town. 

As part of the opening of the restaurant, the new venue has created an official 'grand opening' event and has urged customers who want a table on opening day to book fast or face disappointment.
