About Karizma Restaurant

Waterfront banquet spreads and mixed grills sizzling over live charcoal make Karizma a vibrant Levantine perch on Newquay Promenade. Tables here fill fast with generous mezze platters, fresh dips, and skewers served over table coals—an alcohol-free spread tailored for sharing with family and friends. Regulars linger past dinner for hot tea, fresh baklava, and smooth argileh along the water.

  • Fiery Table Skewers: Meat and chicken skewers arrive at the table sizzling on active small coal grills and fiery racks.
  • Waterfront Shisha Nights: Linger late along Newquay Promenade with outdoor argileh and hot tea by the water.
  • Halal Levantine Banquets: A strictly alcohol-free kitchen serving abundant Syrian and Lebanese halal banquets.
