Dosa Kitchen in Newcastle upon Tyne

The food was brilliant, and our waitress was so knowledgable about the menu and helped us out with what to get. She was super friendly and attentive, she recommended we come on a Sunday for a special menu and we definitely will! Highly recommend the chicken 65 starter it was insane! Loads of vegan options too, and they were fantastic!!

Fabulous dosa’s & don’t forget the chilli chicken that’s delicious, best lime sodas out of India, lovely staff, A bit of a hidden gem, we were there early so not much atmosphere as we were the only ones @ 5pm but I am sure it would be brilliant a bit later on

so we usually go here for Dosas which is quite decent and tasty but went here for mother's Day and trust me did a mistake agreeing to the set menu they had..w options were given veg non veg Thali..we ordered one each.. both of which was not worth at all they charged £21 and £22 for veg non veg but its the worst thali i have ever eaten infact we did not even touch the veg thali went back the way it came...there was no taste at all in any of the dish it was like they had no clue of what to serve so they just made something up and gave people...to top it up we had to wait over 20 mins to get the food that was not worth the wait or the money..the only good part of the meal was the dosa and the staff was good at their service..that meal totally put us off dont think we would ever want to visit the place again..honestly we felt like a rip off like we were cheated with the money they charged for the food. paid £55 and regret going here. would suggest not to go if they ever have a similar set menu for any occasion.its not worth ul be disappointed.

The food here offers a unique twist to your normal Indian restaurant due to its South Indian roots. With that being said the food here is exceptional and is one of the best places to go in Jesmond for its quality. I do think the prices could be a little lower for some certain items and service was a little slow for me, for how empty it was. However, still give it a crack!

Dosa lazy kitchen - went for the Mother's Day special. They only had one set menu which is unlimited except for the starters and dessert. Got all the food on a thaali plate and the quantity was less, ordered more right away. We have waited for more than 15 minutes, when I enquired about it they said they were taking care of an allergen table that’s why it's getting late. Later a manager kind of a guy came to my table and he was rude and arguing, and said that refill takes 15 to 20 mins and it's busy, and never apologised also. Food is just okay not at all satisfied. Never gonna visit this place anymore.

A huge shoutout to Team Dosa Kitchen! I recently reached out to them for a post-wedding dinner event, and it turned out to be absolutely amazing. Everything—from coordination to value for money to the atmosphere—was spot on. Mr. Vinoth, the manager at Dosa Kitchen, was incredibly helpful in arranging the event. On the day itself, we never felt rushed, and the wait staff was super attentive, ensuring that all our guests were well taken care of. Everyone left with their hearts and tummies full! The ambiance was beautifully aesthetic, and the pricing was just right—absolutely worth every penny. And the food? It was hands down the best South Indian thali one could ask for! Everything was served hot and fresh. What truly impressed me was their hospitality. At the last minute, three of our guests couldn’t have the two non-vegetarian dishes that were part of our pre-set menu. Without hesitation, the team quickly put together two vegetarian dishes just for them and served them with the same warmth and care. All in all, I can't praise them enough for their exceptional service. A big thank you to Team Dosa Kitchen for making our event so special!

Not recommended,not worthy of money .I have ordered gobi 65 and chicken ( Thalicha kozhi ) ,the quantity was too less even it will not be sufficient for one kid . Gobi 65 was not fresh , not good in taste . Thalicha kozhi was little good in taste but too much little quantity.

The food was absolutely on point—one of the best dining experiences in Newcastle! Every dish was flavourful and well-prepared, making for a truly memorable meal. The ambiance and service were excellent, adding to the overall experience. Just a small suggestion: offering a warm hand towel or scented hand tissue after the meal would elevate the authenticity and refinement of the dining experience even further. Looking forward to visiting again.

Amazing food! Will definitely be back.Only downside was I did not get tap water even after asking twice. Apart from that the food was really tasty. Especially the chutney 👌

Amazing food, lovely friendly staff

Delicious South Indian cuisine, takes me back to Happy days in kerela and goa. Crispy dosas, aromatic curries, stuffed paratha, mango lassi. Fantastic. Very friendly service too. I would definitely return and recommend.

It was my first time in the UK and this place made me feel like home.. the staff was really warm.. thank you so much for the service.. i would highly suggest this restaurant for whoever is coming to the UK..

We went as part an after meeting do. There were quite a lot of us. Saying that the service was absolutely spot on. The food was preordered was really tasty and the Dosas to die for. Really yum. The area we were sitting in was a little dated but can't comment on the rest of the restaurant. Would really recommend this place especially if going with a group of friends.

Have only been on a Sunday for the sapaad menu. Great for gluten free, dairy free, vegan etc. Would go more often but it’s pricey.

Excellent food, genuine South Indian quality and taste, good service. Been a regular part of every visit to Newcastle.

I love the warm food. We always come on Sunday to get sappad. We look forward to to come on Sunday. You must try the food it's the best South indian food in UK!!!

Dosa Kitchen offers a fantastic dining experience with authentic South Indian flavors. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot for anyone craving a delicious and satisfying meal. Highly recommended!

Nice food and great service, would recommend but was slightly too cold in the restaurant but a nice meal overall

Food is good. I will recommend not go when you hungry. Even though place is empty. They will take ages to cook.

Authentic and sumptuous South Indian food served by equally fantastic staff. Thank you!

Fantastic place, this was our second visit. Great food with lots of choice. Gluten free options were available and service were excellent- friendly and efficient. Lovely atmosphere too.

The Sunday thali was absolutely delicious, offering a perfect balance of flavors. Vishnu Priya’s and naimisha attentive and warm service made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

I recently dined at Dosa Kitchen in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a delightful experience. The non-vegetarian thali was a highlight, offering a variety of flavorful dishes that showcased authentic South Indian cuisine. The chicken curry and prawn curry were particularly noteworthy, each cooked to perfection with rich, aromatic spices.  The service was exceptional, thanks to our waitress, Naimisha and Vishnu Priya. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend Dosa Kitchen for anyone seeking delicious South Indian fare accompanied by top-notch service.

One of the best Indian meals we’ve had in over 6yrs in UK. Totally gluten-free friendly. They actually use spice imaginatively and skillfully. The dosas have no wheat in them and the chutneys boast real flavour. We tried the chilli paste special; perfectly crispy, a little sour and a little chewy. The curries aren’t formulaic “choose your protein, then your sauce” ‘curry secret’ nonsense. Bold flavours, excellent technique and real spice mastery. The cocktails are both reasonably priced and delicious. Servers were lovely, caring and helpful. Absolutely restored our faith in the sorry state of Indian restaurants in the UK. No bland, unseasoned food here. We were one of the few guest white couples. Deffo returning with family.

The dosa’s we were served were very crispy, beautiful ambience and friendly staff😊 One down side is that the pudi in the dosa has a very mild flavour without making a difference. I’d opt for the plain dosa instead! But will definitely keep coming back

Fantastic meal - beautiful service and a wonderful menu. Can’t wait to come back ! Definitely GET THE DOSA! 😍😍

Great food, lovely staff and will be going back again.

Great authentic Indian dosa, worth a visit. Really enjoyed the food and the service was good as well.

Great South Indian in Newcastle. We were lucky to stay nearby and had a good dinner. Kids enjoyed the food and was one of the best.

Excellent service and food is great

Super Sunday Sapaadu! Really delicious filling meal. Staff very helpful with describing menu. I feel like I had a quick holiday to the south of India. Definitely recommend & will return soon.

Had the DK Special Dosa (again) - the one with 2 runny eggs - and a small plate of onion ragi pakora (fried onions) that was crunchy and a little sweet. Also had the mango lassi (not in picture). Perfect combination. Never let me down.

Absolutely fantastic!!! The food is amazing, 10/10 Dosa. And to top it off, they are the showed the greatest kindness sending me back a precious necklace I lost on the premise. A testament to their good service ❤️

My favourite Indian restaurant.. very affordable and tasty food.. good service by staff members

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

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

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

La comida india era fantástica. Disfrutamos comiendo los biryanis. El relleno dentro de uno de los alimentos, estaba hecho de puré de papas y estaba delicioso. El servicio fue excelente.

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".

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.

Great food and service at a reasonable price.

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

Los restaurantes del sur de la India son bastante raros en el Reino Unido, así que nos encantó encontrar este durante nuestra corta estancia en Newcastle upon Tyne. Como era de esperar, la bienvenida fue cálida y amable, en verdadero estilo indio. La comida en los restaurantes del sur de la India es completamente diferente de la que se encuentra en nuestros restaurantes tradicionales del norte, o Bangladesh, y es realmente increíble. Mi esposa y yo pedimos una Dosa por recomendación mía. Se trata de delgadas tortitas crujientes con una selección de diferentes rellenos en el interior. Elegí la Dosa Masala y mi esposa tenía la Dosa Paneer. Eran tan deliciosos como esperaba, y me aseguraré de visitar de nuevo en cualquier viaje futuro.

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!

The most delicious food and gorgeous service from Naimasha

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.

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

Vinimos aquí por nuestros amigos 30 cumpleaños. Este lugar es fantástico, la comida era brillante y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Gracias por un gran día.

Estuve en Dosa Kitchen muchas veces ahora, cada vez ha sido de primera clase! No podía conseguir mejor comida y personal más amable. Lo recomendaría.

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

Fuimos a la fiesta del domingo, que era delicioso. La dosis fue genial. Me encantó la variedad de los currys, entrantes, chutneys y postre y todos estaban muy sabrosos. La camarera era muy servicial y amable y nos explicó todo ya que era nuestra primera vez. El lassi también era encantador. Definitivamente volveré!

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.

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 😊

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

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 !

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.

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

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.
