Sat at the bar watching the cook and really enjoyed both food and service. Iberia ham was great - fat that just melted with the warmth of your mouth. Padron peppers were tasty with good ham croquettes. Wine list was huge with very interesting descriptions of the various Spanish wine regions. Quite large portions of tapas, so I only had room for a glass of sweet Pedro Ximénez ! Overall a great experience.

Our Thursday evening visit to the High Bridge branch was a delight from start to finish. The portions are not your usual tapas size so be careful not to over order. We had a huge board of mixed charcuterie and cheeses, which included black pudding, almonds, chorizo paste, pickled onions and little cubes of quince jelly. We also ordered cebo ham (so good), pimentos, pan con tomate, then shared steak with lovely salty chipped potatoes. Yes we did rather over do it, but it was all worth it. The glasses of wine are generous, and the service from the single waitress in this little restaurant was incredible - a wonderfully good natured woman, she was both friendly and good at advising us how to order. She was clearly busy but managed to appear unhurried and we felt like very welcome guests. We absolutely loved this place.

Celebrating a birthday in the family, as we have done here several times in the past. The food at this tapas restaurant is consistently good, with a menu to suit all tastes. Unfortunately, it became clear that on this occasion, service was going to be an issue - so much so that I felt the need to complain. It transpired that the kitchen was operating a chef down, and certainly one of the waiting staff was inexperienced. However, I must really compliment the head waiter- he politely dealt with the situation and then proceeded to turn a disappointing birthday night out into a highly enjoyable and memorable (for all the right reasons!) one: Brendan gave us a close-up display of magic tricks! Not at all what we expected, but hugely entertaining. We will certainly go back - have been several times and always enjoyed it. Even the best of businesses can have an off-day - yet we still had a lovely meal and experience.

We had heard good things about this tapas restaurant (Dean Street) but was underwhelmed and disappointed overall but mainly with the unwelcoming and cold staff. Foods overall was mixed - the octopus and tortilla was very nice and could order the tortilla runny of firmer. The other 4 dishes where average Expensive for what it was Doubtful if we'd go back - there are many better places to eat Tapas/spend your money in Newcastle

Came here on a Saturday lunchtime and were able to walk straight in for a table. Really smart little resturant. Tapas a little more expensive than a couple of local places but very authentic food and very good. Absolutely LOVED the Spanish omlette and the meatballs and rice but all the food was really good. Appeared to be one chef and one waitress at the time of our visit so felt personal. Waitress lovely and friendly. Really enjoyed and will be back

Pedí tortilla de patatas... nadaba en huevo crudo, literal; tenía cebolla casi cruda y mucha pimienta negra en grano !!! Las aceitunas de tapa, anuncian varias clases: cuquillo roja, negra... Pero, sólo sirven sin hueso verdes y negras y las gigantes. No es justo anunciar y cobrar por lo que no tienen. La cerveza si es buena y la música es española. Lo único. Ni el servicio fué amable. No lo recomiendo para nada.

Awful experience. We were a pre-booked table of 6 on a Tuesday lunchtime to celebrate our daughters graduation. We were not welcomed on arrival & made to feel an inconvenience. Asked for a jug of sangria & abruptly told BY THE GLASS. Food average - sarcastic response when ordering an extra croquet. Spent quite a lot of money on wine & food without a farewell or thanks for our custom - our server turned his back when we were leaving. Spoilt a special occasion. Not recommended & will not be returning. There are plenty of other places to eat in Newcastle.

What a dreadful experience. We arrived the manager took one look at our kids and proceeded to act in two ways. Firstly that we haven’t even booked and prolonged the checking of the booking to uncomfortable level where we asked if everything was ok. Secondly like we didn’t exist. Wouldn’t care but there was only 4 other people in. You’re talking nearly 5 minutes here. Sat us down. 10 mins wait for menus. Another table arrived in mean time they were offered drinks before us, so nearly 20 minutes from sitting to ordering drinks. Then had to ask for menus. By this point we’re considering leaving as kids been waiting nearly half an hour. Placed food order had to ask for cutlery. Equal amount of staff and customers in building at this point. Food extremely extremely bland. Iberican ham was the real deal mind and very good but other than that food tasted no better than what can be made at home. Absolute waste of time no wonder the place was dead on a Saturday evening. Total joke. Wouldn’t care but a family member said not to bother going. Never again.

I met my partner at this restaurant for pre-gig tapas. It was about the only place he could find a table without a reservation (only two other diners inside). When I walked in I thought there was a horrible dirty drain smell greeting me but as my partner had already ordered a beer and everywhere else was so busy I pegged my nose (metaphorically speaking). I sat down and politely asked the waitress for a drink (who, although stood right beside me, had not acknowledged me). She was very off hand and said look at the menu. I said I would but would like a drink while I looked at the menu. I raised my eyebrows toward my partner who said he had had the same treatment when he arrived, had been told to sit down and look at the menu before he could order a beer. He insisted he would like to have a beer while he looked at the menu so she brought him one. The food was excellent albeit overpriced and the Italian waiter who served our food was very professional and friendly. To sum up, the cons of our experience outweigh the pros so it’s highly unlikely we will be back. This might not be an option anyway because unless they up their game - in particular lose the rude and very unfriendly waitress, and the horrible smell, I don’t think this restaurant will be around for much longer with so much fab competition in Newcastle.

Doing the Estrella tour took us to Kaltur...On the moment of arriving Carolina made us feel very welcome. The place had a lovely atmosphere, relaxed, clean and friendly. We had two of the tapas, as part of the tour, the food was of good quality. The people in our group all said they would love to return.

My friend always raves about the place and I’m so glad we finally had the chance to visit during Bank Holiday weekend. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had lovely busy atmosphere. The menu was explained well and our waitress helped us order. She apologised for certain dishes they have sold out. Honestly, we were a bit bummed that steak tartare that we saw on Instagram was not available. But we were recommended to try a lovely wine from Madrid and pair it with Iberico pork cheek, and I have to say it was divine. It is pricey though for tapas but the portions were huge. They were more like mains.

Having been to both restaurants before I had no hesitation in booking lunch today with friends however, that was a big mistake. We arrived at the allotted time for our table and were kept waiting for 5 minutes before anyone bothered to greet us. We were then squashed into a corner where we waited for our friends to arrive. We waited a further 10 minutes before a drinks order was taken and unfortunately they had run out of the wine I had selected and of course the alternative was £9 a bottle more expensive! When we ordered food one of my choices was tortilla but they had ran out of thar too, not sure how a tapas restaurant can run out of tortilla when they were serving eggs and potatoes on other dishes. All in all I like to support independent establishments but this one needs to up its game and enhance the customer experience if it wants me to return!

Had originally reviewed this place as 5*, I stand by that for the food and atmosphere on the evening we were there, however, absolutely disgusted by the Manager here, the same person that served us back in January when we went. I have been here many times across the two venues in Newcastle since my initial visit so when I was meeting a friend for lunch, it seemed like a no brainer. The friend ended up being ill and having to go to hospital, so we had to reschedule. At 8am when I got up for work tried to change via the email link and it didn’t work. Tried from 8am - 11am to cancel the booking by phone. Eventually at 11.05 the manager answered. I explained the situation and she said we would still be charged the £20 cancellation fee. Explained again why we were cancelling and that this was due to the email link not working. She said rules were rules and I had to understand that. She then called me a liar and said the system was working. I asked for her name and she refused to give me it. I asked to speak to the Manager to complain to be told she was the Manager. I asked for Head Office details to make a complaint about the appalling customer service to be told they don’t have one. Eventually, after 10 minutes, she said she can’t waive it because the system won’t allow it. I suggested she move my booking to later in the day and cancel it which she finally did, but not before saying to me that “next time I really need to give them more notice”. When I again explained that this was a circumstance that was not foreseeable, that I had tried from 8am (4.5 hours before my booking which you are meant to be able to amend or cancel up until 4pm) to cancel the booking via the email link and that if they are going to enforce this policy in a genuine emergency and their system was not working then they should have a 24/7 booking line in case of this. I also pointed out that even though this was an emergency situation (granted not life threatening) I had still had the courtesy to try and contact them where many other people wouldn’t have. She then said again that “rules are rules”. After her “computer says no” attitude and total lack of basic customer service skills or empathy in this situation, I will not be setting foot in that place again.

The staff were very helpful and friendly our first visit to the restaurant and our last unfortunately. We were guided by the waitress on how to order although the food was well presented and tasted good the cost was astronomical. Very cramped restaurant virtually sitting on top of the next table. Only one member of staff taking orders and serving and washing up while another sat at the bar for the duration of our visit not great team work in our opinion. When wanting to pay the bill we did catch the eye of the member of staff sitting at the bar and she reluctantly came over and then appears to get the other member of staff to deal with us. I am glad we were both seated when the bill arrived.

Not a good experience. The service was not great, tried to repeatedly clear our table before we’d finished our food. The restaurant was not busy and there really was no need. Asked for some Ali oli for our omelette - as this is usually included at any tapas with the dish, was told it was chargeable at £1.50. The food was pretty poor and over priced - 3 tiny pierces of tomato bread for £6, 10 pardon peppers for £7.50….. Very disappointing experience and would not rush back there are so many better restaurants to choose in Newcastle.

We went as a couple for restaurant week, we had been looking forward to the meal for a couple weeks but overall we were really disappointed. We ordered a bottle of wine and the food came before we’d received the wine. The food was average at best (with the exception of the octopus which was very good), not what we’d expected as we’d been before and it was outstanding. Not sure if it was just due to the busyness but we were pretty disappointed over all, especially given the price, even on restaurant week the bill came to over £100 for two of us!

I came here for restaurant week and was incredibly disapointed. The deal was three courses from their restaurant week menu for £25 but on my return home, I realised it would have been cheaper for me to buy each dish separately - even though restaurant week is supposed offer more affordable food deals. They also had their dishes labelled incorrectly so there were actually no choices when it came to ordering vegan on this deal. The food was really lovely considering, but the staff members did not make us feel welcome and seemed as though they did not want to be there. All in all, a very disappointing experience that I shall not be doing again.

It’s amazing.. high bridge street restaurant is small so suggest booking. Waitress was wonderful and so hardworking. Food was brilliant and Class above the other Newcastle tapas options. Portions huge and we over ordered; will know for next time. Will definitely be back.

Booked for a large family get together - they went keen to take the booking but eventually agreed. Asked to order a set menu - which we happily agreed. When the food came out slightly disappointed but okay - only after 10 minutes more dishes arrived, and then they kept coming - it was just wonderful! Huge amount of excellent food, fun to try lots of things and great quality. We loved it!

We visited on Friday the Kaltur on Dean street for a family dinner and we loved it . The atmosphere was very welcoming and the waitress look after us and suggested us some nice dishes and wine to share . We had the kaltur salad which was very refreshing and good price pairing with the Rioja el ribazo . The menu also had plenty of vegan and vegetarian dishes and satisfied our dietary requirements . The lovely girl with the black short hair was very attentive through our visit and we really enjoyed the food . Definitely will come back !

We were quite disappointed after hearing great reviews from family who had been before. We waited for 15 minutes before we got our drinks ordered while the waitress talked to the table next to us about how quiet the place was post Xmas. The food was nice but slightly underwhelming for the price. We also ordered a dessert that the waitress forgot about, so after waiting for a while we just got the bill instead. Not sure if the service charge that is automatically added reflected the service we received.

Really bad experience. We love Spanish tapas and normally go to the authentic Spanish tapas place in Grainger street market but as it was a Sunday, it was closed. We have went past this restaurant previously and liked the look of the menu, so thought today we would try it. It had just opened for lunch. The lady front of house was very rude and unwelcoming as we came in and asked we had a reservation (the restaurant was empty) after a little wait pointed to where we could sit and HAD to eat as well as have a drink. We said that’s ok and wanted to order sherry and tapas. We wanted salted almonds with our sherry. We got a large bowl of mixed nuts. Not very Spanish like. The staff were eating subway sandwiches whilst serving us. Once our cheese and charcuterie board arrived, the lady front of house proceeded to explain what it was. All was fine until my husband was asking, quite innocently about the chorizo and what the difference was with another chorizo. The lady made a face and was just really rude and looked at us as if we were stupid. We decided to leave after paying for the sherry. All in all, an unauthentic Spanish tapas place with rude and unprofessional staff. We definitely won’t be returning.

A busy night with chefs struggling to cope in an open plan kitchen - which was much too small for 3 busy chefs getting into each other’s way. All too hectic. Concerns on basic kitchen hygiene. Kitchen staff (in heavy food stained clothing) using filthy cleaning towels (laid over their shoulder) as well as other aspects. I would hesitate before returning.

Stopped off for a late afternoon drink and light meal. Very welcoming staff, beautiful food and a lovely ambience. Sharing cheese platter, egg with chorizo and king prawns are highly recommended.

I've been waiting to try kaultur on Dean St since covid. We were seated downstairs which wasn't an issue for us at all. We ordered the chorizo, the prawn and cod balls and the tempura aubergine all of which were delicious. The lamb with the...

Really welcoming from the moment we entered. The staff clearly knew every dish and had a very good knowledge of the wines when we asked for advice. Food was excellent , in fact the best tapas I had ( not just in the uk!). Would...

Great efficient and professional service. Nice staff. My friend and I came for lunch. He has been a few times and I was just visiting Newcastle for the first time. We enjoyed the food very much, very tasty.

We called here at midday on a Friday and asked if there was a free table. This was met with an unenthusiastic response from the waiter who seemed to be in charge. There was a table free for an hour which we said was fine....

Being a big fan of tapas, I was looking forward to dining at Kaltur. Staff on arrival was very warm and friendly Showed us to our table and explained the menu well. Unfortunately I felt the food didn't live up to the hype, the price...

We visited this restaurant without booking one evening and they did manage to find us a table downstairs in the cellar area which was pleasantly decorated. The service was a perfect combination of friendly and professional. The food was good the stand out dish for...

Finally took my girlfriend here after months of admiring the exterior aesthetic of the restaurant. We had the perfect experience. The ambience couldn’t be better and the customer service was impeccable throughout our evening. The tapas was the best we have had, and debatably one...

Ordered a good selection of dishes - and it was quite expensive at over £80. But looking forward to giving it a try. Unfortunately was totally disappointed. Firstly it was nearly cold - can’t have been kept warm in insulated bags at all. Then most the dishes were overly greasy. All the tempura is meant to be really light - this wasn’t. Heavy and greasy unfortunately. My boys usually LOVE tempura prawns and wouldn’t eat these. The bravas sauce was not pleasant at all. A really odd taste. The same taste was prevalent in the pork cheeks - which were also not particularly nice. The croquettas were fairly good on the flip side. Overall - completely underwhelmed and with the choice of restaurants out there we won’t be going back. Sorry - but make more effort in your food!

Greasy, congealed, poor quality - it all went into the bin. The ribs were just fat, no meat at all. Predictably once I sent them an email to advise that we were disappointed with the food, I got an aggressive email immediately stating I must be wrong as no one else had complained - so clearly fault was mine!

We frequently visit Spain and really enjoy tapas. Well, these two restaurants serve the best tapas outside Spain. We visited 4th November, just prior to the England lockdown. I must say, safety was paramount in the the restaurant. The food is mostly imported and really authentic. The chefs are so skilled and put a great twist on each dish. And the wine list....well that’s just as good. Friendly staff, good food and superb wine. Well you just have to give it a visit.

We went here on a friends recommendation and I'm so pleased we did. It was one of the nicest meals out I've had in a while. The staff were lovely and accommodating. I would definitely recommend going here because you won't be disappointed.

Food was faultless. Loved the tapas. But did feel the venue lacked social distancing measures due to the confined space.

He querido visitar este lugar en mucho tiempo y finalmente fui. El personal fue excelente y atento y el menú parece delicioso. ¡Sin embargo decepcionante sobre todo! ! ¡Pedimos la fuente de jamón ibérico que a los 15 hubiéramos esperado que nos diera un poco de sorpresa! Era un plato con esquejes de han. El pilnpil de gambas no estaba chisporroteando como esperábamos, no sabía a ajo. ¡Pigsbcheek! Pimienta deliciosa y patata bravo ok. El postre fue el más divertido, eran cortes de rosquilla, muy simple, estaba destinado a venir con salsa de chocolate, ¡pero obtuvimos agua marrón! Gastamos 150, lo cual nos pareció caro para lo que teníamos. No iría en segundo plano

Absolutamente excepcional, ¡posiblemente la mejor experiencia de restaurante de mi vida! El servicio fue impecable, no podrían haber hecho más por ti. Los platos se sacaron cuando estaban listos y se puede ver cómo se cocinan en la cocina abierta. El chef nos vio mirando y trajo unas croquetas gratis a nuestra mesa, ¡las mejores croquetas de nuestras vidas! El tamaño de las porciones es excelente y tiene un precio razonable, 68 por 5 tapas, 2 vasos grandes de sangría, postre y 10% de cargo por servicio. Definitivamente volveremos pronto.

Buena comida, una de las mejores tapas que he probado en el Reino Unido. Lo único que lo estropeó fue la factura. Fui un lunes a comer fuera para ayudar, se agregó un cargo por servicio del 10% a la factura antes de cualquier otro descuento. Significó que pagué 10 extra por una comida de 50. Eso dolió un poco. ? Siempre me encanta dejar una buena propina pero esa debería ser mi elección. Sigue siendo un buen lugar para comer no menos.

En general, tengo sentimientos encontrados sobre nuestra visita a Kaltur. En general, la comida y la relación calidad-precio eran bastante decentes y tan buenas como la mayoría de los restaurantes españoles que visito en Manchester con regularidad.Lo que me preocupó fue la gran velocidad con la que se sacaron los platos y fue abrumadora. Una buena comida de tapas debe ser escalonada en lugar de simplemente tirarla de una sola vez. También cuestiono el orden en que se llevaron los platos con platos fríos al final, que nunca antes había comido. . . . siempre son platos calientes al final. . . . Solo puedo pensar que olvidaron nuestro pedido y solo se acordaron tarde.Un poco de servicio condescendiente cuando pedí que me llevaran algunos platos y los mantuvieran calientes y el camarero dijo que esto es tapas y así es como viene. . . . He comido en todo el mundo y he vivido en España, así que sé muy bien cómo funcionan las tapas, gracias.

¡Uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en Newcastle! Suelo ir a la sucursal de Dean Street, ya sea solo o con amigos porque siento que estoy tomando auténticas tapas en Sevilla. Recomiendo encarecidamente el chorizo, la berenjena y la merluza, ¡y siempre tengo los churros! Manuel es excelente en su trabajo y el servicio es fantástico (saben exactamente cómo escalonar la comida para que no comas demasiado a la vez). Grandes vinos también. ¡No puedo recomendar lo suficiente!

The waitress who served us went over and beyond to help us as we had never been before, she was so friendly and a credit to you. The food was lovely and nice decor for our pre theatre lunch, I have recommended you to a number of friends.

We always buy food from here but today's experience was not as good. now they started to put the sauce inside the sandwiches and they have put the wrong chilli sauce for me instead of garlic so really all the 6 sandwiches were ruined. They offered to replace the sandwiches though and took the old ones. I would rather having the sauce aside like before.
