Ma'ida Table Spread in Newcastle upon Tyne

My son suggested this restaurant as we were out for his birthday so his choice. This is quite simply the best Indian restaurant that I've ever been to. The service was absolutely brilliant, the two lads working tonight were great and nothing was a bother they were so good with us. I had a chat with one about our watches and just complimenting each others watches as he was getting so ice for our table. I can't praise the two of them enough. My son and I shared a mixed kebab starter which was beautiful, we both enjoyed it. I had the lamb karie (I can't spell it) whilst my son and partner had the madras, we had keema pilou and two garlic and coriander Nanns. All of the meal was beautiful. My son and I finished the meal with Him having the chocolate cake with ice cream whilst I went for the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, compliments to the chef for the whole meal and I couldn't fualt a single thing. The whole experience from start to finish was outstanding and I will definitely be back again. Big thank you to the two lads who served us tonight, I really can't praise yous enough. Well done and thank you for a brilliant night.

I’ve just had an amazing king prawn pimento curry with garlic and coriander nan, my daughter enjoyed her vegetarian dishes.

Trust me the food is great. Disappointed by the service. Ordered a takeaway from here many a times without issue. Ordered on 14th September online and processed payment. When I turned up at the restaurant to collect they told me that the payment hadn't gone through and to pay again. I thought this was strange as surely the online order wouldn't process. The person at the counter told me not to worry as if they had charged me twice it would be refunded by my bank. I was to speak to my bank and not maida.... They just wanted the money and to pass onto someone else as an issue. Surely enough I was charged twice for my takeaway and the saga is still ongoing with my bank over a refund!! Apparently this is common with maida. Much easier to have refused the second payment and not claim the takeaway and claim back through the bank. Really put off ordering here again.

Another great meal from this restaurant, thank you

Beautiful well presented food and very pleasant and attentive staff, very pleasant atmosphere. Will keep coming back time and time again.

Fantastic food as always thankyou

Quite simply.... the best food, served by the best waiters.... looked after by the best hosts....in a truly gorgeous setting. Cannot recommend this place highly enough ❤️

Great food, good prices for the quality. Will defo order again

My experience in this restaurant was lovely. The food was amazing! It was so fresh and beautifully presented and the staff were attentive and efficient. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quality experience and excellent food..

Friendly staff good food didn't stint on portions

Super tasty and ready for collection on time

Lamb dansak had Really Great flavour, Sagaloo was 🥘

Just been for our granddaughters 21st birthday first time I have been but it won’t be the last the whole party enjoyed their meal service was second to none thank you to all the staff you have a fabulous place

3rd time of ordering from this restaurant and quality and quantity never varies. Excellent food and best fast food delivery ever! Thank you

As always good service and good food 👍👍

The food is superb and the delivery was excellent

Really lovely restaurant. Nice surroundings. And very clean. Great that you can take your own drink. My only downfall was how expensive the dishes are compared to other Indian restaurants. So although you can save on taking your own drink but dishes are almost doubled compared to other Indian restaurants. Was pretty shocked that dinner for four of us was over 130 pound. Would o go again if it was just 2 of is then most probably yes but for a larger group sadly not

Worst meal i have ever had from these, im now reluctant to order on a monday again

Watered down tasteless madras sauce expensive I won’t be back

Expensive for poor quality dishes, zero flavour and very oily.

Fantastic food can never fault, always hot and full of flavour. Fast delivery and always a friendly driver too! Without a doubt my favourite Indian restaurant and takeout.

Arrived on time hot delicious best Indian meal in a long time thank you

We love this place and have done for many years. Great staff, wonderful food. Would recommend to everyone!

Another fabulous night at maida for robs birthday, food was absolutely delicious, atmosphere fabulous, staff very friendly and attentive, thanks to Arif for getting birthday cake and balloon xx

Fantastic night at maida, food fantastic, host atif was fabulous as always thanks for birthday cake and balloon x

One of the best curries I've had

Fantastic authentic high quality food. Thanks!

5 of us went here and were surprised at the venue. Clean, well set out with plenty of room. Unusual, but very nice wall decor, of falling water. The meal was excellent, and the service was even better. Good selection of meals, Inc. the normal ones but some different ones to try. Portion sizes were good and hearty. The only issues we had were that the cuterlry is not standard and somewhat difficult to hold, and forks are too small, but that's a personal thing. The second issue was the service charge 10%, which was added to the bill, which we were unaware of and is not stated on the menu. When we asked for it to be removed, we were told the waiter didn't have the authority to remove it, which is unusual to say the least, we did get it removed eventually but spoilt the experience for us.

Only ordered chips and onion bhaji to go with chicken I had cooked at home and was very disappointed. The onion bhajis came with no salad(everywhere else usually does) and they were so so flat and dry. The chips were not like chips you would expect from an Indian takeaway (roasty) they were more like oven chips basically what you would expect from a Chinese takeaway. Not great. Wouldn’t order again just based off the very little we did order which was just shy of £10 for collection.

Visited Easter Monday first time , food amazing service excellent staff very friendly

Well never been here before but my partner is a taxi driver he has had great reviews from picking people up, for my birthday my partner thought we would try this restraunt what a experience, staff were so attentive and could not be more helpful!! now onto the food, had the pickle tray and poppadoms were so delicious my partner had a mussle starter and I had the lamb chops highly recommend, main had duck balti mains where excellent, just by conversation with staff knew it was my birthday and to my surprise brought me a slice of cake and said happy birthday what a lovely touch thank you again me and partner really enjoyed our night out.

Great meal definitely will order again shame the delivery time was so late but it was a Friday night.

It's been ages since I had a disappointing meal from here and been going elsewhere for about 6 years now but decided to give them another go Ordered for delivery came in good time about 45 minutes disappointed with onion Baji expected a nice round Baji but what came was a flat tasteless flat pancake of onions also ordered a nan bread but got poppadoms instead meal was tasty and plentiful,chips a little disappointing more English than Indian sorry but won't be ordering again which is a shame as it's 2 minutes away from home

Fabulous food as usual. Totally reliable, brilliant service. Always a treat.

I went to this restaurant earlier in the month for the first time and it was absolutely amazing, the decor is fab, the service is great and the food was fantastic, have to give a special mention to akif the manager who could not do enough for you. Can't wait to go back and would highly reccomend this restaurant 🫶

Driver couldn't find the address despite having been given the post code on order and when he called, then we also explained where we were. After calling the restaurant, they had to do bring the order themselves so we had to wait for that. Food was cold due to being late. Also not a huge issue, but my mango chutney was missing.

I was here lastnight and my visit reafirmed why this is my favourite Indian in the North East.

Very late and not as promised through the app.

Fabulous place made us feel very welcome starters were great mains were very tasty and all piping hot portion size was large . Very enjoyable thank you

My order was wrong , I ordered chicken tikka biryani and only got a small tub of chicken tikka . But the quality of the food from here is outstanding and today was no different, bit disappointed as I was looking forward to the rice and curry

Excellent evening spent in this beautiful restaurant. Absolutely Superb

Mixed kebab missing and average quality other items. When I rang to ask about lateness, was told we were out of their way for delivery - don't accept the order in that case. Will go back to using our usual, Nisha's. Shame as we like eating in their restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic food, it tasted so fresh and the flavours were amazing.

Usually I can’t knock their food, but tonight they were a little off. The curry was nice, but the rice seemed a little undercooked and the poppadoms tasted disgusting, I think they were cooked in old oil. Also I ordered and paid for 3 and only received 2 (a good thing after tasting them mind). I’m hoping this is a one off. Also stop putting the poppadoms in the bag with the hot food, this causes them to go soft.

Date night with the ever gorgeous H. Our first time here and it won't be our last. Lovely food and great service.

This was the nicest curry I’ve had in months. Lamb tikka pathia. Thanks

Still not here. Stilling waiting 40 minutes. No snow, no ice, no wind, no excuse!! Fingers crossed the wait will be worth it!

I never get Indian food from anywhere else, usually the food is amazing! Tonight’s was ok but it didn’t quite have the taste it usually has

3 of the dishes were incorrect. Whilst the restaurant were very helpful and apologetic, kind of defeats purpose of getting it.

Food was not good will not be ordering again

The thrill grill was excellent,will be ordering again.

So helpful when we rang with a query, food arrived fresh, hot and delicious will definitely be ordering again. Thank you

Absolutely delicious food, excellent staff and a lovely atmosphere accompanied by great decor. Bring your own booze and have a great time.

Absolutely unbelievable food! Highly recommend!!

Overall basic Indian cuisine , burnt poppadoms, veg prep basic , would not recommend.

Ok where to start, when we moved to the area just over a year ago we looked for a stable Indian takeaway and I must say our experience of our first takeaway at Maida wasn’t the best, But being people of wanting to use local suppliers we decided to try them again this evening and WOW, this was the best ever Indian takeaway we have had, the guys even spiced up our masala as requested to perfection, huge well done 👏👏 oh and not to be missed is that they have a hygiene rating of 5 from the FSA which is a big factor in our choices when ordering a takeaway.

Outstanding customer service weather you visit the restaurant or order by phone for a take out staff are always pleasant food is always very nice and hot I’ve been to many restaurants over the years this the best by far

I ordered a vegetable Pathia (a sour curry) and a mottar paneer with peas and paneer cheese. Asked for them both to have lots of extra chilli. Collection time was prompt and the naan was very nice. Unfortunately both curries were bland, little flavour, little chilli, almost identical in flavour and texture, and both drowning in oil. They're obviously made of a generic liquidised onion and tomato sauce, and they tasted really sweet, as if full of sugar. I was able to pour off about three or four tablespoons of oil from each one but unfortunately it's all I could taste. I ate most of them as I was hungry and couldn't be bothered returning them, but never again. Yuck.

This was our first and last visit. Got one of our meals wrong. The young waiters were floating around like they didn't know what to do and for the service charge that was discusting. Yes I will tip but at my own discression.

First time here , wasn’t disappointed, the staff were great really friendly and pleasant, the service and food was fantastic , a really nice place to have a great meal , we will be back

Ordered online via just eat and thoroughly enjoyed my meal, they even gave me free popadoms and vouchers for me to use in their restaurant which I will definitely be going to as the food was lovely thank you

Absolutely amazing will never go anywhere else for Indian food again

A good selection of different dishes done well and reasonably priced.

Came to visit some family and they suggested this Indian they rave about. It did not disappoint. I had the paneer to start it was delicious and then the mixed grill which is one of the nicest meals I've had! Cannot wait for my next visit from Lincolnshire 😊

Very nice food and great option to BYOB. This is our favorite place for Indian cuisine.

If you're in the mood for Indian food and don't mind sacrificing a bit of flavor for great service and a pleasant atmosphere, then this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. While the food isn't exactly mind-blowing, it's perfectly serviceable and hits all the right notes, albeit somewhat lackluster. The menu offers all the classic Indian dishes that you'd expect, but unfortunately, they don't quite live up to the high standards of authentic Indian cuisine. The flavors are somewhat muted and lack the complexity and depth that make Indian food so beloved. However, the portions are generous, and the presentation is nice, so it's certainly not a bad dining experience by any means. Where this restaurant really shines is in its service and atmosphere. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring that all guests feel right at home. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also lovely, with tasteful decor and just the right level of lighting and background music. The overall vibe is great, making it a great place to catch up with friends or enjoy a romantic meal. In summary, while the Indian food at this restaurant may not be the most flavorful , the exceptional service and pleasant atmosphere make it a great choice for a casual night out. If you're in the mood for Indian food and looking for a cozy spot with attentive staff, this restaurant is definitely worth considering

Went to Ma'ida Table Spread on a Friday night could not fault the staff or the service all very good, however the food was ok and sadly a little bland. When we came to pay we got told that it was cash only and don't have a card machine. It would be good if we could have been told this when booking or when arriving at the restaurant.

Great food and the place is top class. But the staff were talking and watching a phone and laughing at it just found it a bit uncomfortable.

We finally thought we would visit this place after reading all the positive reviews online, glad we did, beautiful ambience, love the waterfall as you enter, food and service was amazing, bajay chat and jalfrezi were out of this world, my partner loved the garlic flaked spicy curry dish I couldn’t remember the name, waiter very friendly and cheerful as if he had known us for years, he couldn’t stop smiling, the healthy salad 0 calorie joke was a belter, really cracked us up, can’t wait to visit you again very soon, thank you and keep up the good work. Dominic and Louise xx

Absolutely love this place. Always a warm friendly welcome. Delicious food, amazing staff, love it here, thank you for your great hospitality.

First time I went to this place after years I stopped going to Indians as I was disappointed BUT now I will be going to Ma Ida as much as possible the atmosphere was excellent and the food was amazing. Please people go and try this for your self.

Was there New Year’s Eve and made our choice from the usual menu, then a waiter gave us another New Year’s Eve menu at £34.99 per person which we weren’t interested in. When he took our order we were told whatever we chose, we get a starter, main, rice, Nan etc at £34.99 pp. We didn’t want that and insisted on the order we gave at the price on the normal menu. The families on either side of us had the same problem, in fact one of them were only given the New Year menu. We were very disappointed for the first time as we are regular visitors. The food was also below the normal standard, Shame on you Ma’ida for trying to cash in! Will be a while before you see us again. 2/10 If it is your policy to have a set menu on New Year’s Eve why were the normal menus the only ones on our table when we arrived and why was your “policy “ not mentioned when I booked over the phone? You’ve let yourself down and possibly lost our regular custom!

Beautiful place. Superb food. Attentive service for all 10 of us, 5 of those with disabilities. Very professional. Thank you.

(The owner's response reflected my experience!) DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! If I could leave no stars I would. First and last time I will go there. Went there with friends, apart from a 25 minute delay, food was cold and not worth the money at all! A butter chicken, it was not butter chicken, it was sweetened baby food with pieces of chicken thrown in. Absolutely awful customer service, very RUDE and they do not RESPECT customers. I really don’t think people should visit this restaurant if they are looking for a good day out like we did.

Always amazing food and the service is very quick the staff are friendly and helpful :)

Excellent food, staff friendly and service was quick, decently priced, place was very clean and excellently decorated, didn't serve alcohol which was a surprise to me.

Brilliant food, very pleasant people, definitely worth going

The best Indian restaurant, very nice foods, we will definitely be back to see you soon😊

Beautiful inside and stunning food

Excellent food and excellent quality and service

Very good service italian restaurants could do with learning from here

Lovely food as usual. Drinks service abit slow and we repeatedly had to ask for water. Otherwise fab. Take your own booze

Great food huge portions great service and staff

Food is Absolutely lovely...staff are very nice.. Its a Must visit you won't be disappointed.. Can't wait to go back...

Food was nice but waited about an hour for it after ordering. Also had to sort the bill out as the bill came for the whole table not for just the two of us.

Very nice food, decent prices and good service. Only thing was we were asked to pay a deposit only a few days before even though the tables were booked two months in advance and to get everyone to order in advance, a bit hard when you have booked 36 for a party including kids. Otherwise it would have been 5 🌟

Just been here tonight with my colleagues and the food was delicious the service was outstanding. Amazing friendly staff we have to go back. They deserve a 7 star.

Excellent quality food served by very pleasant staff. Pleasant surroundings no alcohol licence so take your own. Definitely a repeat visit planned.

Was delicious the first time we had it but the second time the curry was very very watered down. Not into takeaways trying to save money when it's my hard earned money paying for the food. Seems a shame but I won't be back.

I’d heard mixed reviews and sadly the poor ones are true tonight. The staff were very friendly but the food was where the problem occurred. By far the most bland curry I’ve ever tasted locally and to add a very dry naan bread and mushy onion bhaji’s. I won’t be returning I’m afraid

Food here is jus unreal 100% am coming back

Excellent service even though it was busy. Tasty food and large choice. BYO wine ir beer, which helps with the cost.

Called for food for delivery at 5.30 for delivery at 7.40pm, 10pm still no food, try calling consistently agaiged and money taken from account, will never use again

Chicken tikka masala full of food colouring and tasteless. Chicken jalfreize padded out with whole onions and peppers. Won't be going back...

Great atmosphere, warm and friendly staff and - above all else - delicious, mouth-watering food.

Can't fault the food or service. It's getting pricier . Portion sizes not the biggest. All the accompaniments I feel are expensive so we unfortunately don't order them any more.

Awesome food with a varied and some might say unusual menu. Staff were superb considering our large party, very amenable and with great service. Beware. There is no alcohol license, but they are more than happy if you bring your own. Bit of a gem!

Best Indian restaurant locally 👌

Lovely restaurant and great food. Friendly polite staff, will definitely be back.

14 pounds and a chicken leg, 4 tiny bits of tikka 4 strands of lamb, absolutely shocking, and had to wait nearly two hours
