Meal Castle Resturant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing experience, great customer service and good value for money. Food was full of flavour and was exactly as advertised! Really recommend trying it ou

Mealcastle restaurant is very great because they value their customers needs and ensure quality in their food. I would highly recommend this place for anyone both home and abroad to come and have a great experience from different varieties of African dishes such as jollof rice, poundo yam, Egusi soup, melon soup, Ogbono soup, starch and banga soup and many more. The service is great because their staffs are friendly and welcoming to customers, and to top it up, the restaurant has an amazing atmosphere with great music and amazing light during evening times. They have an amazing jollof rice and I ate a plate with fried beef today and It was lovely.

I ordered two plates of ogbono soup with assorted meat. The soup tastes so stale and terrible…. I don’t recommend anyone buying from this restaurant…. The soup is so terrible and the meat tastes bad. We just wasted money tbh…. If you come across this restaurant. Just run if u don’t want to have diarrhea. Was literally farting from the two hands of swallow I ate from it before it ditched it. If I can rate it -5 stars .. I would

It tasted like home cooking in the best way. The jollof with beef and plantain had everything. Smoky jollof. Sweet plantain. Tender beef with a nice bite. 😋 I was full about half way in, but couldn't stop myself from finishing it. 💯

Tasty food, African takeaway menu, and eat-in arrangements for customers. Exceptional variety and quality restaurant. Place order on Uber eat.

The food here is so delicious, I tried efo riro for the first time here and it was amazing. The food is very comforting and portions are generous. Highly recommend!

Completely horrible experience!! Horrible customer service!! Called to complain about the quantity and quality of my food and wrong order and I was just being yelled at and hanged up the call on! I have every right to should as I am an angry customer. I asked for compensation and it was acknowledged at all instead I was told to come to the store after a tired day of working 13hrs!! Started off well but I’m afraid it’s gone down this part as I will never ever be patronizing this company again! Once bitten twice shy! Unless I’m given a compensation as this is the second time

Let me tell you something The tilapia fish and plantain it’s mad thing👌🏽 it’s so delicious worth waiting 🔥 friendly staff we had great time

I've ordered from them multiple times and I'm normally satisfied. I never go out my way to leave negative reviews but it had to be done this time. I spent £17 on pounded yam and okra soup.literally 3 bites in and all the soup was finished. Over half of the pounded yam was left. I called them up and the guy said everything but address my problem. Yo sdd insult to injury, he cut the call on me. Never ordering from them again. You can't have terrible service when yhe portion is already terrible. I was literally treated like a fool. Never again.

The staff are very rude and the food is mediocre at best

Food just there if you're hungry but not tasty

Popped in as never friend the food before from Nigeria. The lady there was very friendly and recommended beef jollof with plantain and it was amazing. Will certainly be back.

I ordered from Uber eats, cowtail pepper soup and suya, it was so nice and very tasty, highly recommended

Perfect afrocarribean restaurant with a touch of Geordie vibes. Love it!

I walked in and it smelt like home. Best feeling.

Enjoyed the spicy jollof rice with chicken and a beer while watching the footie. Very clean and new inside. I spilled my beer all over and the cook came and cleaned up for me. Such a big meal that I took half home!

Lovelyand extremely tatsty food,. Good value fir money, nice atmosphere, ckean surroundings nice and respectful staff

Came to collect order and it’s been given away to someone else. Hence waiting for food to get cooked.

one of my favourite restaurants in newcastle! service was great, portions were good and food was unreal

Tried jollof rice and egusi soup for the first time. There was so much depth to the meal. Very tasty and flavorful. The service was pretty fast and the staff were friendly(they don’t smile but I could tell they’re warm)and helpful, they kindly told us how to eat their food. I’d happily visit this place again and try different dishes.

The ambience is classy , the meals are delicious and the price is not “tear pocket “ like that …

Good meal, taste and atmosphere. Although they don’t have most varieties of African food but I’ll definitely visit again.

A fabulous African restaurant, lovely atmosphere, clean and great food

There is need for alot of improvement

I was driving through Newcastle when i searched for a Nigerian restaurant and i thought i would try this place out, I was struck by how clean and immaculate the place was moreso the restroom, the food was fantastic and the service was very good, it was a great experience.

It's a casual place it's ok inside it I think it just opened when I went in I tried somthing it was tryp witch I dont like anyways will try again

My favourite restaurant in Newcastle, all the food are exceptional.

Best African restaurant and food in Newcastle

Food was nice and portions were generous. I am giving service a 2 star because of the time it took to get the orders out. But staff were very professional.

It's a lovely restaurant if you are in New Castle.

Absolutely disgusting place to even walk past. Absolutely stinks of rotten meat. Not the cleanest place to be near.

This is a great restaurant. I wish I have known them before now. The ambience is calm and welcoming. And the food tastes really nice.

The place is the best African restaurant in the north east very good food and the staff are great.

The best place to be anytime anyday for a great meal- Mealcastle!

The meal was very nice I will try again another time. All love from Michael from New Zealand

The food was delicious and the customer service was amazing. It was nice to try different foods and i am definitely going back again. This is the best Nigerian restaurant i have been to.

The food taste amazing and is so affordable !! Excellent customer service, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be eating there again.

Best jollof and excellent staff. Really a family ran business. Also don’t forget to order the swallow. Top notch.

Amazing African food, just the right ingredient and spice.

Very poor. A lot of the food appear to be reheated microwave food. The fish on the jollof was totally freezer burnt - totally tasteless. If you want Nigerian … surely there are better options. I thought I was getting fried plantain with the killing jd apparently that’s why I had to wait so long but the plantain was not to be … sorry - I only do totally honest reviews. Maybe someone else found the food fantastic, I did not.

The best Nigerian / African food in Newcastle

Beautiful place and the owner very kind guy, the food is amazing

We tried Efo Riro and the chicken and jolof rice, the man on the phone told us that Efo Riro was Spinach stew with no meat but unfortunately it was full of tripe that we couldn't stomach it at all. The efo riro sauce was the only thing we got with any flavour but after seeing the huge strips of tripe i just couldnt eat it even after removing it. The jolof rice however was a total disappointment it has no spice or flavour at all, totally bland and paired with chicken and plantain which although cooked well had no flavour added either. I have nigerian colleagues who always big up the cuisine, i have been dying to try it as i love spice and they told me they use scotch bonnets, I actually added dried chilli and salt at home to the rice for it to have any flavour.

I dined in with my family. We waited for almost an hour to be served. They delivered meal to one person and the rest had to wait to be served several minutes later. The waiters were not too pleasant, so impatient. The food was not wonderful, it was moderate.

Food was an absolute dream, everything I had been craving! Service was 10/10 with owner being accommodated to all requests and my needs! Amazing.

They are rubbish don’t order from these scammers they are rude as well

Truly felt like I was in a Nigerian food spot, the aroma from the restaurant kitchen, the atmosphere, the clients coming in and out of the restaurant made me feel at home somewhere in Naija, even while at home in the UK. The meal was incredibly tasty, well prepared and packaged, excellent customer service provided, and guess what, they were all guys both the chef and waiters! Amazing.

Long wait for food. Taste isnt up to expectations. Wouldn’t recommend.

A good place for African foods and sound.

Food was okay, variety present, takes a while but I guess it's because it's fresh. Not so comfy as it's a small place but generally okay

Extremely rude service girls. They insisted I Have to come to their counter to make payment, by registering on my bank account an Alex Adenuga account details, when I protested that I don't have to stand in front of them at the counter to make payment, I was so terribly insulted, very bad customer service. No card payment facilities, u either pay by cash or go make bank transfer to them. I met the owner, a guy called Farouk, he's as good as gold, whenever he's there, the staff behave themselves, but when he's not, the services become something else, have eaten their a few times and promised myself never to go there again.

Scam of a place. You go to this place at your own risk. Waiters are very rude, arrogant and disrespectful. We forced to pay by cash, saying they don't do card and then it took them 45 minutes after taking our orders, to come back later that our choice of food is not available. We then asked for a refund and a staff by name Glory refused refunding our £42 for our ordered meal, claiming that the money had be taken away and not available. She later started insulting outright that we were not good customers. Just because she wanted to force another option of food on us, which was frozen and not freshly cooked. Once again, visit this place as a stranger into Newcastle, at your own risk.

Great African food in Newcastle however needs customer service overhaul

Great food great service met so many hommies

The food was lovely, and the vibe was great. Definitely a place for all.

Absolutely enjoyed our food. Didn't have to wait long as we ordered before arriving. The toilets were clean too. Will definitely go back.

Nice food buy takes so much time to get served.

It's always the place to be, especially at weekends

Great food, large portions & clean environment!

Terrible atmosphere and customer service. Can’t tell customers to tune down the noise. Slow to respond to orders.

The best place to dine in Newcastle and North East when it comes to Nigerian food, friendly staffs and good vibes… always!

The food was absolutely delicious ❤️

I had roasted fish and plantain, it was lovely.Reminded me of Naija.I recommend them.Home away from hom

Long wait time. Too noisy (loud music)

My guy best place i been to really friendly staff great environment, amazing food what more could you want

Nice African food. Free parking around the area with local shops also close-by. You can have grill fish with friend plantain or yam. The Nigeria famous Jollof is also available at all times. Friend rice and chicken or fish.

African dishes and drinks is served here.

Love the foos and the staff is very nice and friendly

A typical African food restaurant. For African people who have missed their African cuisines for years, this is the place to go for your African food.

The portion I ordered was extremely tiny and the man in the shop had a very bad attitude and was defensive of this. Very poor customer service and I implore you to explore somewhere else to get good value for your money. If I could give zero star, I honestly would.

Always a pleasure to visit this restaurant. Great atmosphere, amazing staff.

Real home made dinner 🍽️🍽️🥣🥣🍽️....very good 👍

An awesome place, really felt like home. The fish is awesome and met the owner also a fantastic guy. Would visit here when next am in newcastle. Many stars

Nothing like western restaurant, I mean setup wise. Exposed kitchen not really professional I'm sure it will improve in fullness of time. The food is great 👍 👌 😋 and reasonable prices. Best to do take away.

It's a lovely 😍 place to be, the service there was second to none. Their hospitality is theh best. I recommend this place for all. 😘

The perfect blend of home food at pocket friendly price

Vast selection of superb tasting african and carribian food.

Awesome place to purchase your African meal, it reminds me of back home and how much I miss home but having a home cooked meal from this restaurant was amazing. The tilapia fish and plantain was worth the wait though they need to employ more staffs as they took more than an hour to get my meal ready.

The food here is extremely delicious. Very friendly staff

The food is delicious. Would highly recommend trying the tilapia fish and plaintain, as well as the peppered meat (beef). Restaurant is neat & tidy with amazing customer service.

Nice meal,lovely staff and good customer service

Great food, great people. I will definitely visit again

If you are in Newcastle and you are looking for a Nigerian restaurant then look no further. Good food, clean atmosphere, plays good music and staffs are friendly and helpful.

Lovely naija setting with great African delicacies. Neat environment and friendly staff. Definitely going back

Definitely my favourite restaurant and I recommend others to try 😋

The special touch of this restaurant is the quality of the food. Some of the best Nigerian dishes I have tasted at a Nigerian restaurant. The only downside is the waiting time, this can be over 1hr if the place is busy. If that can be sorted and the occasionally extremely loud music, would be the best restaurant for Nigerian food around!

ordered pounded yam and soup with 2 of my friends after a 45 minutes wait they came to tell us “1 of us had to eat eba because there is only 2 portions of pounded yam”. I then said i will have cowtail pepper soup but they should make me takeaway grilled fish and fried yam with pepper sauce. As i got home and opened the take away pack i say grilled fish and fried plantain. extremely disappointing .

The best place to get All African and Caribbean foods

5**** restaurant..well home made food.. friendly staff.1

Friendly service, excellent Meal and well located.

Love the ambience great space excellent cuisine perfect if you want a true authentic west African food experience. Highly recommended

Top notch African Nigerian dishes made from fresh and scratch every single day. Home made with love. Beautiful classy and decent place. This is the next big thing in Tyne and Wear..... I can't keep away now 😘💯😍

The restaurant is very clean, has nice asethics and plays good Nigerian music but my biggest issue is the food quality. My friends and I went over and ordered about far off the menu and all the food was of poor quality or cold. I personally waited over an hour for my Oha soup which was very poor. Not worth the money or the wait.

Great place, yummy food, nice reception. Definitely coming again.

Authentic African restaurant. Food was delicious. I will definitely come back there :)

The environment is very clean and serene for a start. The icing on the cake is their delicious meals and exceptionally friendly yet professional staffs. Well done and keep it up!

Nice African restaurant! It reminds me the food prepared by my father. 😍

Great and conducive place plus food is really nice too

The food is great and it's really good if you want something different. Nice family environment and the owner is also very attentive. I'd definitely recommend it!

Amazing place to eat and the food tastes delicious
