I’ve been to this restaurant for Iftar in Ramadan. I enjoyed eating in, the stuff are very nice, food and desserts are delicious.

AVOID Aneesa for any events such as weddings and functions.We held our wedding function at Aneesa - Big mistake.There was a fundamental lack of communication between the organisers and the people in charge of running the event on the day. The staff on the day did not provide a quality service and instead gave the impression that they couldn’t wait to go home after providing what turned out to be an incredibly rushed service for a small wedding of only 80 guests.When feedback was provided to Aneesa regarding the day, the response received from both Aneesa and Pav was inadequate, unprofessional lacked common courtesy and any accountability. This is highly unusual coming from an establishment in which hospitality should be their strength. Aneesa did not take constructive criticism onboard, and we suspect that this poor service will continue in the future with more victims that have paid a large sum to Aneesa for their big wedding day for which they have saved much of their life for.Despite the many failures experienced on the day, they key ones we were disappointed by are:1) Aneesa promised we would have access to a microphone which we intended to use to inform the guests where they needed to be and to conduct the religious ceremony. This promise was unfulfilled which meant that guests could not participate in the ceremony which was supposed to be the highlight of the day.2) Aneesa promised we would be able to choose the songs for the day including the songs for both the bride and grooms’ entrance. We were informed that we should have the songs on a USB stick which could be selected on the day. Again, another promise unfulfilled as Aneesa staff informed us on the day of the wedding that the USB could not be used.3) Many guests complained that within 10-15 minutes of eating, their plate full of food was taken away from them whilst they were eating from the plate. Guests also complained that their mocktails and drinks which they hadn’t even tasted were being removed from them by the waiting staff.4) We purchased the chocolate fountain as an extra with cakes and fruit for guests to consume. The promise that there would be sufficient amounts of fruit and cake which would be topped up throughout the day for the chocolate fountain did not deliver. There was only a small amount of fruit and cake provided and this was not topped up by Aneesa as the day went on. The chocolate fountain was running with absolutely nothing to dip in the chocolate for many of the guests.5) Another extra which was purchased were the canapes. When bride and groom questioned Aneesa staff on tasting the canapes on the day, they were informed by Aneesa staff that the majority of canapes were thrown away in the bin 20 minutes into the event. This resulted in most guests not having tried one and was essentially wasted money.Again, I don’t expect Aneesa to respond to this review in a constructive manner as they are absolutely unwilling to demonstrate any accountability and candour in their approach to constructive criticism. I just hope this review serves as a warning to anyone who intends on using Aneesa services for weddings, events, and banqueting.

Found this restaurant by accident after walking around the Quayside during the day so we decided to go on the Saturday evening of our weekend break. The choice on offer was staggering and all the dishes we tried were tasty & hot; they were all covered to keep the food hot, which I liked, and appeared to be regularly replaced when almost empty. They mainly do Indian food but also had Chinese, pizzas & chips on offer. The deserts looked nice but sadly we were too full to try. The staff took your plate away when you'd eaten so you needed a clean one for the next round of food. We hadn't booked but ate early so it wasn't too busy when we first arrived but a fair few tables were taken; by the time we left it was fairly full so my advice is probably book for a Friday/Saturday evening.

Just had the pleasure of dining at Aneesa's. Not a massive fan of all you can eat, as quantity normaly takes precedence over quality. Not here though. Ebrything I chose was excellent. Didn't try the chinese or pizza as that wasn't what I was after.From the starters, through the mains and onto the desert. All were great.Not a vegetarian but stuck with the Spinach and paneer and the veg curry.Both excellent, my freinds chose meat options and all said the same.Definately recommend.Only scored four for the atmosphere as webarruved late and itbwas hetting towards closing time so, couldnt experience it full.Will be returning...

Some of the best authentic Indian food served here. A little pricy since you won't be able to taste all the various types of starters and mains. The desserts are absolutely the best. But do watch your weight. Should come with a health warning.

Definitely the best surviving buffet in Newcastle. Not too expensive either considering how much food is on offerKid-friendliness: Under 3s are free and under 12s I think are half price

Came down to Aneesa’s for the first time this evening having past by with my Mrs numerous times. We heard nothing but good things about this place from friends all over the country. Being from Yorkshire ourselves we thought we’d give it a go and see how it is. I was absolutely amazed from the first moment I stepped through the door at how brilliant the service was, we were immediately greeted by the Manager, Mr De Souza, who kindly introduced us to the restaurant and how things were, he recommended the Chicken Tikka and also asked that we try everything on the menu. My god, we were not disappointed!!The food was absolutely amazing would definitely recommend their Incredible Hulk mocktail too. I would give the overall rating a 10/10 the food was sublime and I would like to send a special message to Bashir on the grill who worked so hard this evening and cooked the meat to perfection. Will definitely be back and will also spread the word to everyone I know. See you again soon!!Many thanks,Amaan

Amazing restaurant, I was in Newcastle in January with my wife and son, we visited this place repeatedly because of the food and environment. My D'Souza who is the manager is always courteous. I'm back in town for couple of days, and decided to visit it again before I leave. If there were more than 5 stars, I would give that to this place.
Very popular restaurant, a mix of feelings. Firstly, I must highlight the variety and quality of the dishes offered, which were generally satisfying. The restaurant's ambiance is welcoming, and the service was courteous.However, my experience was somewhat dampened by the fact that many dishes were not too great in taste towards the cravings .Unfortunately the spice levels were not matched and the essence of the dish is lacking its soul.The non-spicy dishes were undoubtedly the highlight of the meal. Tasty, well-prepared, and visually appealing, these options made up for the limitation imposed by my personal preference. Traditional dishes were well-executed, and the variety of choices was notable.The customer service deserves praise for its efficiency and friendliness, providing a pleasant experience in terms of service.

Very popular asian buffet all you can eat restaurant. Not cheap but large range of food to choose from including some pizzas and western stuff. Choice of nearby parking but onsite Travelodge 2 storey not recommended as ramps are very narrow and witnessed some larger cars having several attempts negotiate themWheelchair accessibility: Restaurant has steps down from foyer but also has a small wheelchair lift
