Native Cave Restaurant And Bar in Newcastle upon Tyne

We had the sea food broil it was absolutely fantastic the sea food was so tasty !! We were in the basement and unfortunately the cockroaches running along the benches and one on the table was horrific, we did mention it to 2 members of staff so hopefully it’s now been sorted mmmm, let’s see !!!!

A really excellent and under appreciated carried carribean Gem in Newcastle City Centre. We got the seafood boil and jollof and it was delicious

Amazing seafood boil. Magnificent to behold. Clarty to eat but OMG! What spectacular food. I will be spreading the word ❤️

Es increíble. Para empezar, el personal es encantador y acogedor. Creo que es importante mencionar esto, ya que muchas revisiones de lugares dejan a las personas más importantes fuera. Ahora la comida, todos nosotros fuimos por el hervor de mariscos a £ 50 por pareja y lo que una gran decisión era también. Hay una espera que indica que se está cocinando correctamente desde cero y los resultados ciertamente lo sugieren. Langosta, cangrejo, enormes gambas, mejillones, ollas nuevas cerosas y rodajas de maíz dulce todo servido en un rico caldo de coco picante. 35 minutos de fisuras en la cáscara, sorber la cabeza y excavar cavidades más tarde estábamos todos pegajosos y grasosos y súper felices. Hacen otras cosas, pero no tengo idea de qué, ya que el enorme tazón de crustáceos me hipnotizó. Este lugar es increíble. Una habitación tipo pasillo simple con muebles modernos simples y música tranquila de África Occidental en el fondo. Oh Dios! Ese marisco y esa salsa eran impresionantes! Pagaría dinero para aprender a hacerlo. ¡Ve ahí ahora! Oh, sí, venden Guinness nigeriano genuino.

This place was amazing the food was absolutely out of this world and the staff could not have done enough for us. They went above and beyond to make sure that what had started out as a bad day for us was turned around as soon as we entered the restaurant. And they really did do that we left with smiles on our faces. The seafood boil was so tasty and also a really fun experience to crack everything open ourselves. However we did struggle with this at first and the staff even offered to take it into the kitchen and do it all for us (we’d sussed it by this point though 😂) Everything tasted phenomenal and the staff were so kind and helpful. 100% will be returning

Seafood boil was amazing, we also had a side of rice and squid, both also great. The sauce that came with the boil was the absolute best, if they sold it I'd definitely buy it! Service was good, everyone was friendly. We were the only ones in there so the atmosphere was non existent, but it was early in the evening and out of their control. Would come back for sure! Thank you 😊

The food is stunning 😍😍😍 it took 40-50mins to serve because it’s freshly cooked but we didn’t mind the wait as it was worth every second!! The service was amazing and the staff are lovely Will deffo come back again and again

We were greeted at the door and sat in the warmest spot in the restaurant (by the bar) and we were served throughout the night by a lovely, helpful and very smiley young lady (by the name of Esther). The best seafood I've ever tasted and I'm not normally a fan of seafood, and, THE BEST SERVICE I've received in a long time. I would recommend this place to anyone searching for the tastes of the great blue sea! My compliments to the chef also. Fantastic job!!

Seafood boil was amazing. Price is bang on for what you get for 2 people share. Deffinatley come again. The place is very narrow and probably gets busy all the time.

Esta es una visión completamente honesta de Native Cave. Cuando entramos, no nos recibieron en la puerta, tuvimos que encontrar a alguien detrás de la barra que nos llevara a una mesa en el sótano, donde uno de los empleados estaba comiendo. Esto fue a pesar de que reservamos una mesa con ellos de antemano. Sospecho que esto fue porque se olvidaron de reservar una mesa arriba para nosotros. Nos dieron una botella de agua cada uno mientras la camarera terminaba su comida y LUEGO encendió la televisión, antes de que finalmente nos trasladara arriba cuando una mesa se liberó. Solo uno de los empleados sonrió y la comida tomó un tiempo (pedimos la mezcla de mariscos hervir) pero una vez que la comida llegó allí, era genial, cocinado brillantemente, sabroso y decente grandes porciones. Quítate el sombrero a los chefs, saben lo que están haciendo. Daría 2. 5 si pude, pero la falta de servicio y profesionalidad era desalentador y hacía la experiencia ligeramente incómoda. No vaya aquí si desea una buena experiencia gastronómica, pero vaya aquí si no le importa mal servicio para un buen sabor auténtico hervor de mariscos.

Food good, large portions but service is CRAP. waited over an hour for my food. Others had to eat as their food going cold. Thats what let them down

Great little restaurant/Bar with amazing Caribbean takes on dishes plus a stunning Lobster boil

Este fue el primer restaurante que mi pareja y yo visitamos después de mudarnos a Newcastle, ¡y estoy tan contenta de haberlo hecho! Los dos vinimos por el hervor de marisco y fue absolutamente increíble. Los amantes de los mariscos tienen que probar este lugar, era delicioso, de alta calidad y el personal era tan amable. Nos fuimos tan llenos y no puedo esperar a volver!

If u like seafood then you wont be disappointed,good service, good environment to chit chat and for a date 😉😊

So I drove 2 hours to try the seafood boil and wow was it worth it 👏🏻 the staff where so attentive and lovely , the steak was incredible even my little one’s fish fingers where nice 👏🏻 you where all amazing and made my birthday Thankyou so much 🫶🏻xx

fantastic. will be back soon. recommended it to family and friends .

Incredible!! Me and my partner went today , had starters of crab claws.. peppered meat and the seafood boil.. amazing service from all the staff plus the chef went above and beyond to acomidate my partners lactose allergy .. can't speak more highly about the food!! looking forward to going back in the near future 🔥

Great place, great staff , warm service, great food taste and value , Jamaican rice fantastic, grilled prawns crispy and rebeye perfect

Visited This Place To Celebrate My Husbands Birthday, And We Got The Best Seafood Boil Ever !!! Hands Down ! 😩 That Sauce Bro !!!! To Die For, The Service Was Amazing 🤤 We Had To Get Some Of The Sauce As Takeaway 🤫 Not Forgetting Those Sticky Bbq Wings 🙂‍↔️😋 Highly Recommended !!! 💯💯💯👌🏾

Oh yes. The seafood boil 😍😍 It’s gone viral so I’d recommend reserving. Lobster, crab, prawns, mussels, potato and corn and a few garlic bread for £50. Beautiful. I do not understand how it’s so cheap. The sauce is creamy and rich and deep. They should bottle and sell it. The decor is dark and the room is narrow. There aren’t enough napkins. The drinks can be surprisingly expensive. But it’s worth it for the seafood boil. I also ordered the Suya but it was a bit dry and mild. Its redeeming feature was being another vehicle by which to transport seafood boil sauce into my body.

Been for dinner, as friend recommended. Had the salmon with the buttery mash, it was lovely. The restaurant has a more intimate feel and staff are friendly.

We went yesterday for my Birthday. Great Food, very clean. Definitely go again.

Been wanting to try a proper seafood boil for such a long time. Boy these guys did not dissapoint. I had seafood boil with lobster. Crab and prawn linguine. The flavours were next level. Like a party in your mouth. They definately know there flavours and can cook. First time in Newcastle . If i ever come back i will definately be going back here. Highly recommend this place to any in or visiting Newcastle. Staff were so friendly. The lady who served us was so politeand welcoming. Place was so busy , they were rushed off their feet. Still smiling the lady who served us , honestly was just so lovely. Can not fault this place.

The loveliest team welcome you to a beautiful interior with a lovely vibe. A mix of clientele, all of which had full bellies and smiling faces. The food was amazing. Calamari starters and prawn linguine - every mouthful was more delicious than the last. Can't wait to come back. 😊

Delightful, Tasty, Classy, Excellent service. New found favourite...🔥🔥

Went to Native Cave on my first night to Newcastle Castle on Business from London. Found the restaurant through Trip Advisor reviews. The food was absolutely amazing and the portion sizes huge. I had the Jamaican Spicy Jerk Wings for starter then the Crab Linguini for my main and the Red Velvet cake for dessert. Value for money!!! The only drawback was the service. The waitresses do not acknowledge you upon arrival and would past you at the door. As a customer youbwill have to ask to be seated. Also, I waited 45 mins for the waiter to bring the bill after asking for it. I could've walked out the restaurant without paying and they wouldn't have noticed until I'm long gone. Please work on yout customer service because you already having a winning menu. Compliments to your Chef(s).

Amazing food and the staff are so polite

Delicious food had a long wait to be served but once addressed with staff got great service would return

My favorite seafood spot unbeatable

Really enjoyed this dining experience, we chose to share tghe garlic prawns as a starter which were so tasty, meaty and delicious then the boil as our main. Wow, the seafood was yummy but the sauce was the star for me. I wanted to drink what was left over. Our server Eve was really attentive and informative. She really made us relax and have a very pleasant meal. We can't wait fir our return visit

All items ordered were so on point, went with family, we had several things on the menu to try and it was all so nice. Great customer service too

We had the ribeye off the grill. Really flavoursome and cooked perfectly med rare. Service was quick and staff really friendly. Best steak I ever had for a long time

Native Cave Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a cozy ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The decor is rustic yet charming, creating a unique dining experience. The menu is a delightful fusion of traditional and modern dishes, showcasing the best of local ingredients and flavors. One of the standout features of Native Cave is their impeccable service. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a foodie looking to explore new culinary delights or simply seeking a comforting meal, Native Cave has something for everyone. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes, as each bite is a burst of flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. The attention to detail in the presentation of the dishes is also commendable. Overall, Native Cave Restaurant is a must-visit spot in Newcastle upon Tyne for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm and inviting setting.

Tastiest meal ever and thank you to eve aka the worlds angel for the best service ever

Food was ok. The chef was nice and ask us regarding our order that might be spicy for my daughter and he cooked it well.

We came here on 07/08/2024 to celebrate a birthday, we chose to go here due to the good reviews we had seen but how disappointed we were. We booked a table a few days before arrival, when we got there we were sat next to a fan and it was like sitting in a wind tunnel. Myself and another person decided to share the seafood boil which cost £50, not worth the price at all and looked nothing like the reviews and photos we had seen, it was tiny. We got 3 mussels, 4 king prawns, 2 small potatoes, 2 small pieces of corn on the cob, 2 small pieces of crab and a lobster which had no meat to it. It also came with garlic bread with was 2 very soggy and wet pieces. My mam ordered the peppered turkey which comes with jollof rice, we were then told that the jollof rice was a 2 hour wait to make and they offered jasmine rice instead. The seafood boil came out way before any of the other dishes did leaving everyone else just sitting and waiting. When the pepper turkey came we were disgusted, the jasmine rice smelt and was stone cold, it was heaped into a small plastic bowl that you would give a toddler and there was no turkey in the dish. The 'meat' was just gristle, fat and bones and when held up was a dull transparent colour. We complained and the waitress said she would get us a new one, however it was the exact same bowl just mixed around as the meat was in the same shapes and it was the exact same state the 'first' bowl was. We complained again and told them it was inedible which another waitress came over and said that there was cow skin mixed in with the meat and that was the gristle. Sorry but why is cow skin in a dish that is stated on then menu as peppered turkey? What happens if someone has allergies to other meats and they seem to just be mixing whatever 'meats' they can find. When the bill came they tried charging us £15 for the peppered turkey dish which we refused to pay as it was inedible. We left absolutely dissatisfied from start to finish and even had to drop off at McDonald's on the way back as we were still hungry. One massive thing I noticed that the menu I have seen on TikTok wasn't available in the restaurant so seems that they are giving bloggers and influencers a much better experience to get people through the doors, even a couple who were sat next to us asked for a dish that they had seen on TikTok and they were told that the restaurant didn't do it at that time. The menu is a lot smaller in comparison to what is advertised online. Overall I will definitely not be going back to Native Cave at all and certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

Ordering online or by phone is a hassle and the service is awful. We tried ordering on Deliveroo at opening time and couldn’t so called the restaurant instead. We were told they ‘turned off’ the feature because the kitchen was busy at opening and they will call us back in 30 mins. We had to call again ourselves and after taking our order, we were informed again the kitchen couldn’t process it. We then spoke to the Manager and she was as helpless as the whole kitchen. The standard of service is below par which give me great concern overall. It shows poor advance planning and logistic management. Sunday evenings have families at home who would love to eat in. It’s a shame my family and friends were unable to have a lovely seafood take out evening.

Wonderful restaurant right in the middle of the city Newcastle. Give it a try.you won't be disappointed. We loved it and we will be back soon.

The food is absolutely beautiful, cooked to perfection and the staff are the most lovely people, so accommodating, feels like your walking into someone’s home it’s like a big family x

Amazing team and amazing food.. many thanks from the pilots

Seafood broil wasn’t enough for one let alone two the crab was hollow too and the drink menu is awful maybe five options of overpriced bottles

Just been to this place after being excited to go for months but not having time to be extremely disappointed with not only the food but the service i ordered the crab n prawn linguine which had about 3-4 prawns in not to mention i also ordered chips which they gave to my friend to then tell him a few minutes later they were meant for me, following that up i made the statement of can me and my friend pay separately for what each of us ordered so i pay for what i ordered and he pays for what he ordered, the woman came back with the bill being totally wrong after correcting her she said “2 seconds” which ended up being like 5 minutes for her to come back and for her to have the wrong bill again extremely disappointed especially after waiting that long.

Food was absolutely beautiful! The service was very slow and the serving lady almost forgot garlic bread for one order and brought this out midway our meal. The beer order was also wrong but was rectified quickly. Waited forever for the bill etc. This has not put us off this place. We can't wait to go back!

We were looking for a seafood specialist for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. The food and service was amazing. Even gave us an anniversary cake free of charge - will definitely be coming back. Make sure you book cos it’s really busy.

Went without a booking for my son’s birthday. It was full but they asked us if we could wait downstairs until they had a table for us. The staff we very polite and hospitable. Waited a while but it was really worth the wait We had hot and spicy chicken wings to start. These were delicious 😋 Then the seafood 🦞 boil. I’ve never tasted anything so Devine It has prawns 🍤 mussels crab 🦀 potatoes 🥔 corn 🌽 and lobster 🦞. The sauce is amazing, so tasty my son drank it like soup when all the seafood was gone Neither of us can wait to return

We were looking for a seafood specialty restaurant and, after seeing the amazing reviews, decided to try this place. I came here a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed everything we had. The seafood boil was amazing and can comfortably be shared between two people. The highlight for me was the Prawn Chili Linguine—absolute bliss and highly recommended. The only disappointment was the service; the lady assigned to our table was hardly acknowledging us, a bit rude, and the service was really slow.

I had the most delicious meal here last evening. I had perfectly spiced shrimp with rice for my main course and a starter of spicy chicken thigh . The portions were very generous, the service excellent and I will be returning to this wonderful restaurant.

My family visited for lunch and ordered the lamb chops, seafood boil, and a few sides. We shared everything and it was all delicious!!! The seafood boil in particular was incredible! The staff were lovely and even helped entertain our baby while we ate. We will definitely be returning! The menu was a little different to the one we viewed online, so that needs to update. But little things like that had little impact on our impression of this restaurant as the food and staff more than make up for it!

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was tender, flavorful and incredible value. Honestly couldn’t recommend the seafood boil enough!

Amazing - simply superb! The seafood, the lamb chops and the service were amazing. Give this place a go - great vibe and only wish they would open soon in Belfast!

Jesus christ , this is the best meal ive ever had in my life , like what ,starting from the sea food boil down to the floor every little detail , I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️🩷

The food was amazing, I'm definitely going back there again

Came here in search of a good seafood boil and they did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavour and the seafood boil sauce was unreal up there with one of the best meals I’ve had. The jerk chicken wings were delicious as well they make the perfect appetiser, they are bustling with flavour with a small bit of spice. Will be here again next time I’m in Newcastle. Also if you are getting the seafood boil wear an apron as it can be messy as I found out the hard way.

Had a fantastic dinner tonight with my friend. Ordered the seafood broil- WOW 🤩. A whole lobster, crab claws, prawns and mussels in a delicious sauce with corn on the cobs and potatoes. Also had a side of jollof rice and plantain. Such fresh seafood and it was utterly delicious. Thankfully you get the full plastic outfit and gloves to save your clothes from all the lovely juiciness! Staff were so lovely and attentive (and gave us a lesson in how to crack the lobster and crab claws). Such a fantastic restaurant, we will definitely return, and so reasonably priced. If you like seafood 🦞 give this place a go; heavenly.

Enjoyed the seafood here- fresh!! Nice, to visit again

Phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥. The Smokey jollof rice and the grilled chicken wings has an amazing flavour. The customer service was amazing, the staff were amazing, super friendly and the atmosphere was calm. I loved the fact that Afro music was incorporated as one of the restaurants aesthetics. Native Cave restaurant is the best place to have a taste of great flavour and a the African cuisine 🔥🔥.

Food was BANGIN’. We got the seafood boil to share. Portions were perfect, flavours were ridiculously delicious. 100% will be going back again. Atmosphere was nice and chilled with great music, shout out Tems. Customer service was amazing, so friendly, helpful and generous. From the couple who spilled the pineapple juice (sorry x)

Amazing food. Great efficient staff and a beautiful restaurant. Would 100% recommend!

Proper home cooked food, served nice and hot and so tasty I could have ate another if it wasn’t so filling! Will be back, staff are so nice and attentive

Food is amazing and full of flavour!!

Very friendly staff there,also nice seafood options.Them Chilli Prawn Linguine was amazing!

I took my mum here for her birthday meal this week, there was 4 of us. We rang to say we would be late due to traffic, the girl who picked up the phone didn’t ask our name but said it would be fine. Turned up 10 mins later and our table was given away & no one knew we’d actually called up to let them know. We all ordered starters… only 2 came out so we had to wait again. The mains came out at all different times & while still eating the layer starter, one was wrong, one missing a bowl of chips and one was so spicy we couldn’t even eat it (in fairness a lady did come out once it arrived and I’d had a bit to ask how it was and if it was too spicy, we couldn’t eat it so they never charged us as they should have said at the start). The menu online is not the same as in the restaurant, they have changed the price for a steak from £25 to £40 and no choice for a single person sea food boil. We were asked for drinks at the start but none were offered through the meal once our drinks were finished with - no customer service in this establishment whatsoever unfortunately. Little to no atmosphere. Very disappointing seen as google has 4.9 stars. The reason I’ve given 2 stars is because my partner enjoyed his sea food & there was no charge for the meat that was too spicy. Would not go back.

The best meal out ever! Lovely staff and the taste of everything was heaven! Will be making this our place to go for a nice treat! Waiting was fine,you expect that when food cooked to order,delicious and piping hot! Well done to the chef!

I had an amazing dining experience last week! The seafood boil was hands down the best in Newcastle - fresh and bursting with flavor. Despite a bit of a wait (almost an hour), the impeccable service made up for it. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, a fantastic spot for seafood lovers, just be prepared for a wait!

Place was absolutely unreal and the workers are very welcoming . Food 10/10 got wings and honestly best ones I’ve had by far.

The best sea food ever 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

The entertainment was very good, staff were lovely and communicated with us all throughout our stay. The food was also amazing, very delicious. I absolutely loved it here!

Food is amazing and the positions can feed 2 people. Atmosphere and the staff are friendly.

Just been here tonight .. I’d seen it and wanted to go for a few weeks.. by god I’m so glad I did!.. This is the most delicious meal I’ve had in a while!!👌🏻 I do go out often for food .. so seen this newish Seafood/ Caribbean in Newcastle and couldn’t wait to try. We had spicy wings and prawns for starters/ the seafood pot and cheese and chips.. my god they were all to die for!! I will be back.. 😊

Food was amazing and so was the service!

Only regret is not ordering more food! The food was so lovely but very messy! Take baby wipes and a bib if you're having the seafood boil which I would recommend. I had seafood boil which the kids hijacked, they were literally sucking on the shells and dipping their food into the sauce. We looked like absolute cave people tearing the food apart, we demolished it in record time. My partner had steak and said it was one of the best he had ever had. We were pleasantly surprised with the bill total and will most definitely be visiting again very soon!

Wow I loved every minute of this restraunt. The vibes, the atmosphere, the staff but mostly the food. I'm in love. Just everything you expect and even more. The flavours the tenderness. We had the ribeye and it was so tender and juicy. The tiger prawns were like a piece of steak. Massive in size, tasty as 👌 nom nom. I would come back over an over and marry the chef 100%

When we got there it was early so we had the whole place to ourselves, we ordered the rack of lamb chops,jumbo King prawns and the large sea food boil all I can say is the food was amazing and cooked perfectly 👌 can't wait to go again. The staff are lovely people.

Lovely fresh food, friendly staff and modern ambient

First time trying afro carribean food restaurant out. I had chilli prawn linguine, tasty prawns were fresh. Just the right amount of chilli for taste. My daughter had the seafood boil pot for one, she said it was lovely. Recommend this place for seafood lovers.

Some of the best food i have ever tasted. Me and the wife came and i can honestly say the food and service were out of this world. We had seafood boil and garlic prawns with rice. The flavour was incredible and was extremely good value fo money considering the amount of shellfish included. We were the last customers in the restaurant but did not feel like we were a burden. Great family atmosphere. Can hand on heart say we will soon be back.

We got the seafood boil, cheesy chips and vegetable rice everything was stunning we will definitely be back.

Little independent place, with a small menu but fabulous ingredients beautifully cooked and presented - really, really good. One grumble (hence not giving 5/5) was they didn’t have any of the wines on the list and the only red wine option was a bottle of Hardy’s. Need to get the quality of the wine up to match the quality of the food and then they’ve cracked it.

This is the most amazing place for food! Absolutely everything was delicious and priced amazingly, the cocktails were also delicious. The restaurant in itself is very clean and the staff are really kind and amazing. 10000/10 definitely gave a good tip and will be back again soon!!❤️❤️❤️

The seafood boil was amazing and the staff was really friendly. Tasted super fresh and sauce was full of flavour. Thank you for an amazing experience ❤️

Food was amazing! Great service as well! 10/10 food and the prawns were banging!

From start to finish the service was amazing , all staff very polite and welcoming, Me and my partners first time eating at Native Cave and we had the best experience, The cocktails we had were lovely, We had sticky bbq wings to start they were so delicious we then shared the seafood boil which was outstanding we both enjoyed the food drinks and service provided so much we will definitely be coming again 12/10

We got a seafood boil and also prawn pasta and it was unbelievable will be booking table again

My family and I had high expectations for this restaurant given the high reviews but unfortunately left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. Food was nice but service was sadly, a let down. We came in as a party of 11 people at 6:30pm on a busy Saturday night however the restaurant knew we were coming due to booking in advance and pre-ordering our meals. It is quite a small venue and when we arrived the tables were not reserved and ready to sit 11 of us so we had to wait a little bit for people to finish their food and leave before we got seated as a group. There was also a lack of drinks available (alcoholic and non alcoholic). I thought there would have been a good stock of drinks for a Saturday night service. I forgot to take a photo of the menu to upload however a new, updated menu needs to be made. The Seafood Boil being £50, not £30 as advertised online was quite a hefty difference and were a bit shocked by that. As noted earlier we pre-booked our meals however the kitchen were unorganised and got confused even though they had a few days in advance to prepare for the busy evening. The waitress kept coming to double check what orders were placed and we still found ourself needing to request food even though requests were placed ahead of time. Had this not been done, one of the members of our party would not have had a meal that evening. Due to this, it took quite a while for meals to come out, everything came out very sporadically and it took us quite a while to get cutlery at times. I’m not sure why the cutlery was not the first thing that was given to us. We did not leave the restaurant until 08:50pm - we left shortly after we finished our food so our service from entering through the door to finishing our food due to how long it took to come out lasted about 2 hours 20 minutes which was a bit unexpected. Probably would be a good location for dining if a smaller group but I don’t think they were ready to facilitate for such a large group yet.

Dined in and it was amazing. My friend and I enjoyed every bit of it especially the rack of Lamb Keep it up

Myself and my friend came here on a Friday night the other week as a part of the snap saver deal which shows on the website that Friday is a day that includes the 50% offer. We arrived and were sat right at the entrance of the door, and me and my friend had to sit next to each other instead of across the table tucked in to a corner. I made them aware that I had the snap saver app and was told that no they don’t do this anymore even though they had promoted this on their social media the week before too. My friend asked for a white wine and was told they didn’t have that one or another one that she asked for. We decided on the £30 seafood boil and they replied they only had the £50 one which was enough for four people? But there was only the 2 of us. So we just agreed and thought we won’t get any starters. We waited ages in between drinks, ordering food, food coming out, asking for the bill. The manager did come out and apologise for the Snap Saver and did offer us 25% off the bill. Finally the food did come out and it was lovely but definitely not worth £50. We could see the frustrations of the people around us who were waiting on their food too, the table next to us one of their mains came out before any of the starters and the rest of the mains and they had to wait half an hour for finally the starters to come. The worst was when the man next to us dropped his fork on the floor and the waitress just picked it up and put it back on his table…We asked for a bottle of the Rose to share which was £21 and out came a £5 bottle of Echo Falls Rose. We asked for our bill which came out with no discount added which we then had to make them aware. The food was nice, but definitely not worth the price and the service just was a nightmare. We walked out in disbelief and couldn’t believe we had just witnessed that.

Great food, very good flavours.. we went at opening time of 16:00 . But drinks served while waiting for food. Excellent service.

What a fabulous find, the food is outstanding, service was friendly and this was a great experience, will definitely go back.

Wow! This place is literally a hidden gem!! The food was absolutely amazing, the best sea food boil i’ve had, absolutely packed with flavour and mouth watering!! The passion fruit martini was unreal and I could of easily had 100 of them haha! Staff were amazing and so friendly too! I’ll 1000% be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!!!

I've been to worse restaurants but never a restaurant which gives you your cutlery 15mins after they've served your meal. We came here for there £30 seafood boil which to my surprise was £50, but we were hear so bit the bullet and ordered it anyway, I felt like I'd been hit by a bullet when it arrived. It consisted of a lobster which hadn't hit puberty mussels so small and shrivelled they resembled raisings, crab legs which so skinny they were bereft of any actual meat and tiger prawns which tbf weren't bad oh aye and 2 new tettys and a quarter of a corn on the cob. I shall not be frequenting this establishment again.

The nicest food in Newcastle.. Seafood boil is my favourite everything is full of flavour amazing staff and great cocktails

Good food, great songs and good service. Will definitely come back again

The jollof rice at native cave was hands-down the best I've ever had! So flavorful and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice. We also loved the grilled plantains and the spicy suya. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Also had a nice variety of cocktails. We'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!"

Enjoyed myself so much here. Excellent mixed seafood boil and grilled suya meat hot and spicy 🤤🤤. Great service, cool ambience. This is one place you will definitely enjoy great food at. Highly recommended 👌

My wife and I are new to the Newcastle area and we stumbled upon this place when our intended restaurant was closed. Absolutely magnificent food. The owner and her husband mentioned that they had just recently opened and I certainly hope they do well. The food is the best we've had in Newcastle, literally astonishing. Could not recommend more highly. Service is great and it's fabulous to have some cuisine with an African or Caribbean flair to it. We have loved everything about our experience both times we've been. The service is quick, the drinks are great, the ambiance is splendid, and the food is literally out of this world. Patronize the place once and you will return! It's phenomenal.

Really recommend the seafood boil here! Most flavourful seafood we’ve ever had. Friendly staff, great portions, can’t fault it! We’ll definitely be back💗

This is a real hidden gem. Was craving some good seafood and this place did not disappoint. The seasoning and flavouring was spot on. Jerk chicken wings, Jollof rice, lobster tail, tiger prawns. This prawns were MASSIVE. Definitely going back. Deserves more attention!

I visited native cave for the first time with friends who have previously been , I was not disappointed, the food was amazing , nothing was to much trouble I ordered salmon and asked for a different sauce and the chef did that for me . You can see the passion and hard work that goes into the food , as a chef myself it’s very nice to see other chefs with passion . The food was very nice and the atmosphere was amazing , il definitely be returning

I loved this place. Amazing food, atmosphere and service. I can’t wait to go back. Me and my friends had a great night. 👌🏽
