Dosa Kitchen in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing food! Excellent service! The warm bounty chocolate brownie is just spectacular 😋

The food service are amazing. I love the food and the service. Looking forward to dine again!!!

Chicken 65 is crispy and spicy, while Mushroom and Chicken Manchurian are savory and tangy. Masala Dosa and Paneer Dosa offer crispy crepes filled with flavorful potato or paneer stuffing. Puri is fluffy and deep-fried, perfect with rich curries. Malabar Parotta is flaky and layered, pairing excellently with creamy Chicken Curry or spicy Paneer Curry.

Absolutely amazing meal! Fresh and the flavors just blew our mind! The girl was serving us was not only very polite and patient with our several questions she was extremely knowledgeable about the menu! Overall just qm amazing experience! Highly recommended and great value for money

Quite a regular to this place. The Sunday Saapadu (thaali) is excellent and worth every penny ! This place can get packed during dinner time, especially on weekends, so reserving is better. Their kotthu parotta (tuk-tuk parotta) is kind of meh, but their dosas, utthapam and other foods are excellent! The staff are friendly, but can sometimes be distracted by all the other tables. Their pricing is nominal and quantity is okay. Just be warned when ordering over Uber eats as the taste and quantity can vary drastically !

The dosa was delicious and the service was excellent.

Absolutely my go-to restaurant in Newcastle! The food is so authentic according to my husband from South India. I enjoy our meals there every time we go. Great place to eat with friends as well. The vibe is very relaxing and comfortable. Staff are amazing as they are so kind to us whenever we go there. I can truly feel that they genuinely try everything they can to bring the most authentic and delicious food from South India to people here. They really care about food and people. This is why I love going there so much.

Food was very good here, really crispy dosa, fantastic chicken curry. Prices quite reasonable as well. The Sunday 'sapaad' (like a thaali) is worth trying to get a sample of many different dishes.

Probably the best South Indian good in UK. Must try Sunday Sapaad if you are in Newcastle.

First visit, very impressed. Tasty and filling mixture of dishes, either meat plus fish or vegetarian. List of the dishes in the set menus left on the table so you could tell exactly what you are eating.

Went for an early meal with the family - everyone loved the food, including paratha, masala dosa, curries and uttapam. Friendly staff, a good variety of drinks and overall great service.

The restaurant is upstairs, but there is a lovely astroturfed courtyard where my wife and I sat with a patio heater on as she couldn't climb the stairs. Great service. The food was magnificent, well balanced spices, great Dosa and paratha to "tear and share".

Great food and service at a reasonable price.

A lovely place with a warm welcome and delicious, subtle food at very fair prices. I was by myself, being on a work visit to Newcastle, and having walked up to Jesmond 'for old times' sake' (lived here 40 years ago!) came to the Dosa Kitchen on the strength of reviews here. I was made very comfortable -- not the case everywhere for solo diners -- and for less than £25 enjoyed a delicious 2-course meal with a pint of their own specially-brewed beer. And even on a Tuesday evening there was a good atmosphere; I was not rattling around the place :-) I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing flavourful and reasonably priced food, fantastic service, gorgeous setting!

South Indian restaurants are quite rare in the UK, so we were delighted to find this one during our short stay in Newcastle upon Tyne. As expected, the welcome was warm and friendly, in true Indian style. The food in South Indian restaurants is completely different from that found in our traditional northern, or Bangladeshi, restaurants, and it is truly amazing. My wife and I both ordered a Dosa on my recommendation. These are thin crisp pancakes with a choice of different fillings inside. I chose the Dosa Masala and my wife had the Dosa Paneer. They were as delicious as I had hoped, and I will be certain to visit again on any future trip.

Great little find. Very relaxed, no frills venue with fantastic authentic south Indian food and inventive cocktails. The sambar Vadha was especially good! Like a savoury doughnut. Pictured is their Dosa. The paneer dosa was great.

One of the most authentic South Indian food I ever had in the UK. It felt like having homemade food. The taste, how the menu was designed, ambience and the interiors, told a lot about this place. Good creative work. I would definitely come back to this place whenever I visit Newcastle.

Solo dining this evening but this hidden gem in Jesmond did not disappoint.

Very friendly service, bustling atmosphere. Beautiful crispy Dosa and well flavoured curry. Delicious!

Good South India food. Kongu cuisine available here. Fairly priced and good portions. Staffs provide good service. Has enough parking onsite. Walking distance from Jesmond metro. Good choice for a family eat out.

The most delicious food and gorgeous service from Naimasha

South Indian food is very nice... Mango drink was awesome, One of the very few restaurant where you can get tawa chapati...

Authentic South Indian restaurant. Very tasty Dosas and curries. Will go again if I am in New Castle

Best food. LOVELY STAFF AND GOOD SERVICE.

Most authentic Indian food in Newcastle

Fantastic all round. Particularly for Vegans, as there's plenty of choice. The extensive menu makes it difficult to choose, as it's all so good. Mango lassi was best I've ever had!

We just had yet another fantastic meal at Dosa Kitchen, this time the special feast celebrating Onam (the harvest festival held in Kerala). The feast included a wide range of amazing, authentic vegetarian dishes, and the staff were attentive and quick to bring refills of our favourites.

Very good South Indian restaurant at Jesmond

Been to Dosa Kitchen many times now, every time has been first class! Couldn't get better food and more friendly staff. Would recommend.

We came here for our friends 30th birthday. This place is fantastic, The food was brilliant and we were made to feel very welcome. Thank you for a great day.

Dosa kitchen is in a bit of a rush to close up shop! I'm not sure if the management is aware of this. Whenever you place an order, they often say the kitchen will be closing in just 10 minutes. I have to say, the masal dosa deserves a solid 5 out of 5! However, it seems like the staff isn't really helping to boost the business.

Online it states the restaurant is open until 8:30pm. I arrived at 7:15pm to be told by the staff that the kitchen was closed and we could not be served any food. This is the second time this has happened. Change time online if the kitchen is going to close over an hour before closing time

Best Indian restaurant in Newcastle. Extremely good south Indian food, with kind staff and good service. Excellent value for money as well

The best Desi dine out place in Newcastle. Food was awesome, great ambience and top notch service. I would strongly recommend...

This has to be my favourite Indian in the UK. The quality and taste of the food is unbelievable! I cannot sing praises high enough. The dosas and thalis are incredible! If you like very delicious food, Dosa Kitchen is the place to come. They also have a food stall at markets, which is worth a try too! Oh and the dosas are naturally gluten-free, which is also a bonus.

We love coming to Dosa Kitchen. The food is always fantastic and I recommend to everyone I know. Masala dosa is our favourite!

Superb Taste. Zero waiting timea for food. My order was faster than mac'd 😂. Fresh. Hot and Yummy

Fantastic staff, amazing food, best service. Recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting authentic southern Indian food. Me and my husband loved it and will def go again

Its a hidden gem for people from outside Newcastle.I really recommend for people craving for Masala Dosa and filter coffee. Reallyyy loved it

Went for the Sunday feast which was delicious. The dosa was great. Loved the variety of the curries, starters, chutneys and dessert and all were really tasty. The waitress was very helpful and friendly and explained everything to us as it was our first time. The lassi was also lovely. Will definitely be returning!

Food is good,but a little expensive.

Very good South Indian restaurant serving authentic prepared South Indian food. Service from staff is excellent and owner is a friendly chap happy to have a conversation about restaurant and Newcastle. Will look forward to eating here again in my next visit.

Been visiting this place since it started in small shared kitchen in Beacon west gate road. Fresh ingredients and food is always fresh without overdoing of spices or Masala’s. Sunday Sapad is excellent with good choice of selections. Having free seconds refill is good if you want to try more. Wife is Vegan she love the place too as good Vegan alternative available. Customer service is good with very courteous staff.

We ordered take away dosas but while waiting enjoyed a drink and then noticed the pizza truck …..WOW! Amazing! So tasty. The staff are so friendly and one of the owners was very attentive . The food was authentic and absolutely delicious. thank you . Would 100% recommend!

Without a doubt the best Indian food in Newcastle. Fabulous service, interesting menu and seriously tasty.

Amazing food arrived quickly fantastic value for money unique dishes can not recommend this place enough. The dosa is on another level will be back very soon. OUTSTANDING!!!

Quite enjoyed the food here. There’s some parking outside. You get 90 mins at the table and I’d recommend reserving a table as it gets busy. - Paneer dosa with potato masala: absolute star of the show. Very tasty. - Chilli chicken: had a good kick. Really liked it. - Chettinadu Kola Urandai (lamb kofta): alright - Lamb nilgiri kuruma: tender meat. Curry was average flavour wise and not very spicy. - Pondy meen curry: fine - Kai Kai kuruma: probably my favourite of all the curries taste wise. They do chapatti and parota but no naan. Pretty well priced. Need to try their 2 Rowdy Pizza next.

Fabulous. The potato masala in the dosa was so tasty. As was the lamb nilgiri but special mention for the chickpea curry, amazing flavour

Authentic Tamil food. Loved it.

Outstanding food, possibly the best indian cuisine I've had, really different selection of dishes, and we ordered it to our door! Thanks 😊

Great South Indian food - sweet lime soda reminds me of goa

Tasty food and friendly service.. Totally enjoyed!!!

Very nice south Indian restaurant. I tasted south Indian food after 1 month and all the dishes tasted exactly how it will be in Tamil Nadu. Good atmosphere as well thanks !

We went for Sunday Sapad (Platter) at Dosa Kitchen Newcastle. Loved their food and ambience. NON-VEGETARIAN SAPAAD 1 x Meat Starter, 1 x Fish Starter 1 x Muttai (Egg) Masala (main side) 1 x Meat/Chicken Kozhambu (main side) 1 x Fish Side Dish (main side) Accompanied by Dosa (X1), Sambhar, Chutney, Rice, Rasam, Pickles, Yoghurt, Paapad, Sweet Dosa Kitchen❤️ Halal ✅ PS: Their chilli ginger cooler is amazing, definitely try it. Plus Mango Lassi is 10/10

Best Dosa place is Newcastle, I highly recommend everyone to visit and try once. I am a regular customer and go there almost once in two weeks.

Amazing place that we stumbled upon by accident - you can easily miss it from the main/Osborne Road as you need to go around to the rear of the building. It is well worth it! Best South Indian food I’ve ever had. Lovely staff. So good we went back the following night. All round great.

Some really good south Indian food!

One of the most authentic Indian restaurants I’ve been too. Service was impeccable and the food was just awesomely delicious!!!

Fantastic Indian food in New Castle.

I came here with a friend whilst visiting her at uni - this was FANTASTIC! I can't recommend more! They even made sure to accommodate my coconut allergy and I had such a good meal.

Best Dosa in Newcastle! Everything on the menu is amazing and very reasonably priced

The Dosa for starters was lovely couldn’t fault. However I had got the prawn curry. I’m currently on day 4 of not being able to eat or keep anything down. This has resulted in me having to go to hospital to get IV medication due to severe dehydration and fatigue. The prawn curry came out cold and felt rushed. An hour after I had the curry I was never off the toilet and sadly 4 days after I’m still not. My friends had chicken dishes and have been fine, the only thing different we ate was the prawn curry. Currently the hospital are testing for two different types of food poisoning which are campylobacter and gastroenteritis caused by food poisoning. It is a real shame as, staff and atmosphere were fantastic!

Extremely quick and friendly service, fantastic food and very reasonably priced. The dosas were amazing.

We’ve been twice now and each time the service and the food has been superb. Looking forward to our next visit and would highly recommend.

One of our favourite restaurants in Newcastle. Best dosa we've had outside Sri Lanka. Excellent value. Good beers available. Sunday sapaad brilliant alternative to Sunday lunch. Very fast service so great if with kids.

A nice and authentic South Indian restaurant in Newcastle

Probably the best place in and around Newcastle and Durham area if you're looking for authentic South Indian delicacies.

Best Dosa in town. Some of their dishes such as Methu vada and Chilli chicken are fantastic. I wonder why Sambar is not given with vada. This is standard practice in South Inda. Young staff are friendly. Little tweaks are necessary; such as ambiance and car parking. One very important point. NOT DISABLED friendly. No lift or escalator. Restaurant is upstairs.

Good food Good service yes i would recommend 100%

Really good. Would recommend to all of them craving for South Indian food.

Food was absolutely brilliant, so tasty if I wasn't full from the generous portion size, I would have gone in for seconds. Lovely little place with friendly staff.

A nice place for Dosas and Parotta. A must visit place for indian food. A bit pricy, still worth it.

Attentive service and food served piping hot. Water served nicely too.

Best Indian food for a long time. Family food, chilli chicken outstanding as was varuval prawns. Dosa magnificent, chicken biryani outstanding.friendly helpful service and a lively atmosphere. Cannot fault this superb South Indian restaurant

The only place you need to go to for 10/10 South Indian food, the dosa's hit the spot everytime, been coming regularly here since it opened and I will come here till the day I die. Absolute genuine gem!

Your trip to Newcastle is incomplete without a meal here. The service is wonderful and the food is sublime. My go-to is the cauliflower paal, it's so rich and coconutty, pairs extremely well with their Cardamom Pina Colada. Always excited to eat here

Brilliant food and service. My only nitpick is that it was cold inside. Come on guys, turn the heating up.

Good atmosphere and decent food. We went on a Sunday to have thali but the availability of other options is low on a Sunday. Good portion size but felt it's slightly over priced. Have not got coconut chutney for dosa in the thali (had it with sambar and chutney that was included in the plate). Overall good experience.

Indian food but very different to my regular Indian restaurants. Great food, really nice to have such an alternative style restaurant here in Jesmond. Packed when we were there & so many Indian families there to which tends to be a good endorsement of the food.

Delived into some delicious food after long time coming to UK

Fantastic food and great service. They had a special menu today for New Year which took us on a Southern Keralan journey. Eaten off a banana leaf we had a wide selection of vegetable dishes and amazing desserts

A great little place offering authentic South Indian food. The service and atmosphere were great. The only gripe are the portion size of the dosa and uttapam. The dosa fillings were less than half the filling of normal. I would have preferred if they charged more and offered a decent size portion

Portions are small for the price and the curry had no umami. Paid 40 pounds for those! Very disappointed.

Not the best. But certainly not the worst. Being a South Indian, I had high expectations seeing the reviews. But the taste feel short. I think it's more suitable to an English palette. Nevertheless, do give it a try if you're in Newcastle.

My experience at Dosa Kitchen was delightful from start to finish. The ambiance instantly put me at ease, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. What truly elevated the experience was the background music, with soothing instrumental tunes from Tamil Nadu that brought back fond memories and added to the overall cozy vibe. As for the food, it was a taste of home away from home. The flavors were reminiscent of homemade dishes, comforting and satisfying. While the spice level wasn't quite as bold as what I'm used to back home, it still packed plenty of flavor and authenticity. Dosa Kitchen truly shines when it comes to their specialty: dosas. I opted for the DK Special, and it quickly became my favorite. The dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, filled with delicious fillings that left me craving more. Overall, Dosa Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Tamil Nadu cuisine in Newcastle upon Tyne. Whether you're a dosa enthusiast or simply looking for a taste of home, this restaurant delivers. Highly recommended!"

A real treat for the food lovers & a big bang for every £'s spent ! Let me break down my experience. Visited twice., Once during the weekday & the other time on Sunday. Honestly it took me a lot.. a lot of time to go over their menu itself., such a huge variety of food & drink selections you can choose with it & I liked their crispy descriptives of each dishes & its origins. On Sundays they are serving Thali's which includes Veg & Non- Vegetarian's options with ton’s of dishes ranging from appetiser to desserts being loaded in the platter & being served. Dishes were piping hot & it hits the taste buds., could able to sense that they are nurturing their dishes with quality spices & ingredients, service staff's were so friendly (guided me to choose all the alway from appetisers to final course of menu), lovely ambience & their spiced cocktails were top notch. Had a chance to meet Mr. Sudharsan & his team. Kudos to everyone for bringing my back home memories 😊 !!! A must visit finest South Indian restaurant in Newcastle Upon Tyne !

Always a pleasure to dine there. I also order a lot from this restaurant. Lovely dosas and amazing Sunday sapaad. The waiters are really nice and polite.

Friendly staff and great food. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Plenty of seating (upstairs). Restaurant is round the back of the Main Street so may not be immediately obvious if you are looking for it! We have dined in a few times and regularly get take away

Great food in great atmosphere. Friendly staff and nice place to spend family lunch on sunday with my kids. Love the authentic touch!

Amazing little place and the food was incredible! Definitely visit if you’ve a chance

Food was not up to the expectation & not worth for the price.We ordered two Non-Veg saapad which is a disaster. But the dine in atmosphere was relaxing with warm music. Satff was good & very friendly.

I've been to Dosa Kitchens on many occasions and now feel like I've completed its sensational menu. This is a fantastic restaurant with authentic cuisine that is high quality. You can't really go wrong anywhere on the menu but I'd recommend either of the 65 dishes and the DK special Dosa, the prawn curry with rice and a parotha for main and the bounty brownie is fantastic but heavy on the coconut so that has to play to your tastes. The Lamb, chicken and veggie curries are all fantastic too and you get a healthy portion of sauce. You are guaranteed to have leftover so box up cook a filling of your choice and enjoy the rest of the sauce in the week. Great atmosphere with friendly staff, it is always busy however so they are pulled from pillar to post with all the tables so a slight downscore (that reflects my British impatience). Will continue eating regularly here! P.s. don't forget to order the fresh lime soda, mango or chilli ginger.

Visited Sunday (Women's Day special) , we were limited that we could order only sapad(Thalli) . Overall the food was decent, some of the dishes in Thali were very delicious and some were not up to the mark. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was ok too.

Son took me for Mother’s Day, place was cold food came before drink! Both of us feeling sick after food!! Wouldn’t recommend

The dosa was alright , when ordered for Paneer dosa it was served with shredded common cheese not paneer from any angle . The cutney for dosa wasn’t much of a wow . The kothu Porata was nice and the chilly chicken was really good. The atmosphere was nice with music and nice lights. The masala tea was also just ok kinda .

This the first time I have had an Indian meal. It was more than wonderful. The staff was really helpful. Thank you so much Sara for helping us choose the best meal.

Perfect masala dosa and variety of dosas in the town… the ambience scores a 10/10 Young and energetic staff always with a smile ♥️

Extraordinary experience, everyone have to visit this restaurant once.Especially the Sunday sapaad is awesome.

NO WHEELCHAIR ACCESS. If you haven't eaten her then you should. It's delicious and very different. It's not your now famous British curry. You won't find chicken tikka masala. You will find a variety of South Indian dishes served by polite and energetic staff. A surprisingly unique selection of beers that are brewed just for Dosa by a local brewery. My wife eats fish and loves a good vegetarian option. She is never disappointed here. If you don't book ahead you won't get a table. Do I need to write that? A couple came in while I was there and she burst into tears because they couldn't get a table. Surely all good restaurants are fully booked on a weekend. Is it just me?
