Great lunch menu. Food extremely tasty, staff very friendly and made my dad feel special for his birthday. Would highly recommend.

After my office I visited this place with my colleagues in search of some quick bites. I had ordered vada pav, the most famous Maharashtrian dish from India, though it was not even close to it but overall taste was ok, I didn't like it much. The masala Chai was nice but too sweet. My colleagues had ordered samosa chat & mango Lassi where samosa chat was pretty good but Lassi was too sweet. So it's OK to visit this place to try some other options but reservations well in advance will make your life simple.

You cant go wrong with Dabbawal, the food is always amazing and a great selection of drinks. The cobra 0% is perfect with a spicy meal.

Excellent food and service at Dabbawal, the service was quick and the staff was very friendly. Special thanks their staff member Baba who provided amazing service to our table and made the dining experience top notch.

The table was set for my birthday and one of the members made sure all our guests were accommodated and food was served in time. And as an added bonus one of the members of staff named Baba, arranged a small cake that I didn't ask for but was a very nice gesture from the restaurant. Overall a memorable experience and would do it again.

The food is quite nice. I've been to restaurants where the dishes come out when they're ready but the problem I had is they brought out the bland pilau rice 5 mins after everything else. Maybe they were having an off night but I've had much better Indian street food with much better service.

I had high hopes for this experience but felt it wasn't up to the hype. I'd heard and read a lot of good reviews about this restaurant.We all had the pre show menu which is a starter and main. The food was at best ok. Good mix of spices but presentation and quality... it was mediocre. The portion sizes were small and I left feeling that the food quality and amount didn't reflect the prices that they are charging. I get that cost of living puts pressure on the restaurant but if you come away feeling short changed its counter productiveThe service was great and our service team were attentive and genuinely cheerful and welcoming. Great serviceWe were a small group (4) and are as soon as it opened for the evening on a Wednesday. For that time of day midweek it was busy with not many tables free. That begs the question... Did we just feel short-changed as a result of a one off or were we missing something bigger.It's the first time there for me but I can't see me going back... There are other Indian restaurants in the city that I'd like to give an opportunity to impress. This is a competitive market and this for me was a disappointing experience compared to other similar restaurants. At the end of the day you to a restaurant primarily for the food with service and atmosphere as a bonus. For me this experience was the wrong way around

Very upset after visiting here. We haven’t had a food, but before that the manager (the one was wearing specs) was not yet all welcoming. We haven’t reserved, we just walked in, but when we entered he was soo rude and behaved like we came to have a free food which really made us upset. We know here we always do reservations and go but today since we were just passing by the restaurant we thought will check, and we were ready to wait but the way he behaved us dint feel to stand there for a second. Immediately we came out walked to My Delhi, it was crowded there and we waited 40 min to get a table but the staff in My Delhi treated us in such a way that we felt so welcoming and finally they made our day.I request dabbawala management to take action against this behaviour, we felt like that specs manager is doing racism, we will never suggest to anyone to visit here.
Very nice Indian restaurant in the heart of Newcastle. Food was great, staff friendly and helpfull. Would surely recommend if you are looking for some high quality indian food in a nice

Food was delicious and staff were friendly. One member of staff was a little bit unwelcoming (believe his name was Ranna and supposed to be the manager..?) as he did appear randomly throughout the service to ask if we were going to order with some haste/negativity, while we did have a waiter who was tending to our table already and doing a fabulous job!Besides that can't knock the restaurant, will visit again!
