Rumba Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Wonderful restaurant with friendly service, delicious food and especially the cocktails are worth a try. We did not know what to expect when we read about a Peru restaurant but for anyone who likes Mediterranean food, it is absolutely worth it

Very nice place. I even could it call funny. Great food with super service. We would likely come again.

It's a place where you can savor delicious cuisine, enjoy vibrant entertainment, and create lasting memories. P.s. the girl behind the bar is so cute.

The food is absolutely delicious and I would thoroughly recommend it to everyone - the seafood and vegetarian dishes are exceptionally good. The staff are solicitous and engaging and will make your experience very enjoyable. 10/10

Instantly welcoming, cosy and a brilliant antidote to the world. We had a lovely evening here, the food was wonderful, the music great and the kindness of the owner and other members of staff unmatched. Will definitely be coming back for dancing at the weekends ! Gracias por la noche linda!

Tasty traditional Peruvian food. Ceviche is nice and spicy!!

The food was fantastic. We have a fussy eater in the group and she asked for the steak meal but just plain and she loved it. It may have been plain but the flavour was anything but. Good portion sizes, we were all full. The staff were all really nice and welcoming, would come back again to try the whole menu:)

Great food, great service, the Lomo Saltado is great.

We ordered churros, Aji de Gallina, Lomo Saltado, canchitta and Inka Cola tonight. Food is great and authentic. The owner and the chef were also very friendly and hospitable. They kept everything on even if we’re the only guests in the place. If only they could be more visible from the train station, I think people will like it. The only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars is because the food price doesn’t seem to match with experience in the restobar. Other nicer places in Newcastle with good food too have a nicer setting.

Really wanted to like this place. The lady is lovely. Very enthusiastic. But it’s a total rip off. The chicken we got was bland. Small portion too. The lamb was very chewy. 2 meals and 2 non alcoholic drinks £46. Place was empty and freezing cold. Won’t be visiting again.

The service is good. But food is not enough and we are still a little hungry.

The real deal! Really authentic Peruvian food, and excellent hosts. A hidden gem in Newcastle.

Love Rumba I go there on Thursday night's to have Salsa lessons and party. I had a nice light meal before my last lesson. I am a vegetarian there was a few choices for me but would have liked more options .Had a cocktail Rumba on the beach was lovely.The lessons by Coca are fun and if you love Salsa you will not be disappointed.

Go there you will not regret it Staff were brilliant

Good place to go dancing on Friday nights

Really loved this place! Great quality food & we got treated to a dance and tequila on the house at the end. Really friendly service! Thanks guys!!

The worst experience, the Peruvian owner is too gossipy and rude, the food is very basic and expensive, these people make Latinos look bad, we won't come back, they have no education or service.

Lovely food, very friendly owners - helped us order the best things from the menu. Would love to come back soon!

Great authentic place, lovely food. Owners very welcoming. Even tried Salsa dancing which was great fun 😊

Everything was incredible. The owner/chef are total sweethearts, and the food is out of this world. I was visiting from out of town and came in on my own, these folks made me feel right at home. Highlight of my experience in Newcastle and so grateful I stumbled upon this spot. If you've never had Peruvian food, don't miss checking this place out!

The rumba restaurant is fantastic: with lovely tasty pizza and superb rumba burgers. The rum and whiskey was exactly what I needed in a cold night. The dancing girls and men are not to be missed .. ENJOY :()

Amazing food, lovely people, can't do enough to make you happy. Will be back!!!

Absolutely delightful. The food was excellent, and the cocktails were amazing too (and very well priced, definitely the place to come if you're partial to a caprinha or a pisco sour, we had several!). It was quiet when we went but this didn't bother us too much and it is hardly the fault of the restaurant. Thoroughly recommend!

Very tasty food. Nice relaxed atmosphere with good music and friendly too!

My partner and I got there at 6pm and there were only 4 other customers in the restaurant, so it was very quiet. The host was very charming, convincing us to get the yuka instead of the chips (he was right, the yuka was better!). I also got the Inca-cola, which was lovely. Service was very slow, but the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. The host convinced one of the women at another table to get up and dance with him at one point, which was fun to watch. Was about £60 for drinks, dessert and main for 2 people, which is a bit more than we'd usually spend but it was lovely and we're looking forward to coming back :)

Lovely place, great staff and fantastic food! We will certainly be back x

Very tasty food and good ambience overall.

Hardworking Staff, Clean and Nice Environment. Genuine Peruvian Eatery! 🖤

VERY DISAPPOINTED TO THIS PLACE! Firstly, I booked a table three days earlier, yet they were going to put me next to this pillar in the middle of a floor, then they set me to this corner and that space was so tight. I felt like they didn’t reserve my table at all just put me at whatever. Secondly, the food is over price. A small plate of fish salads is 9 pound??? The lamb with rice was almost 19 pounds but it wasn’t really nice. It gave me hiccup a lot. The beef with rice was 17 and it was ok but why are there fries? Thirdly, the service was sooooooo slow! It took them 30 mins to serve me a salad, and 40 mins to serve us main dishes. At last, it took us three times to ask them to come back and get us the bill, and they charged me at least 6 pounds more? For what? The service? In total I park 53 for such unpleasant experiences. Overall, I am very upset about this restaurant. I will not back.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was absolutely lovely. Will definitely go back.

Excellent little restaurant. We had an early dinner before a show so had the place to ourselves but it didn't take away from the experience as our host provided a lovely friendly service with lots of chat and some salsa music in the background. We had some great food and cocktails and a black zambuca to finish it off.

Great little independent venue. Well worth a visit!

Had a great time at Rumba, we had the Lomo Saltado and Aji Gallina. They were both really nice, but would’ve liked a bigger portion for the Ají Gallina.

Great people, lovely food and Salsa Dancing

Visited this Peruvian gem and was blown away by the amazing food and ambiance. The flavors were authentic, from the ceviche to lomo saltado. The atmosphere captured the essence of Peru, and the friendly staff made the experience truly memorable. A must-visit for delicious cuisine and great vibes!

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were warm, friendly and helpful. But my overall score is reduced because our main course took an hour to arrive, and I was not impressed by the state of the gents toilets. Given that the prices are not cheap, I was expecting a little more from the overall experience.

Great staff, attentive and explained food well, even had a little dance with him! Food was great, everything was tasty and good quality, reasonable prices too. Ambiance was good, music authentic and looks like could turn into a lively place later in the night. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Made our whole group feel welcome from the start. Proper hospitality. We ordered lamb, chicken, cerviche and yuka. All delicious - the cerviche was the best I've ever had! Saved the location for when we're next in town! Thank you to our hosts.

Had a fantastic night here and we were so well looked after. The food was amazing and the staff so helpful and kind.

Good food, great customer service! Will definitely come back!

Great food and service! Will come again!

Absoluitly amazing service and the food was of the highest standard Staff are so friendly we will defo be back here

5 star hospitality with amazing food

Lugar tranquilo de comida peruana, con música tropical. La comida de buen sabor con 7.5 sobre 10.

Amazing authentic Peruvian food and very friendly and helpful staff. Coco is more than happy to play some Peruvian music and tell you stories about it, and Alfonso cooks amazing food. Recommended! Our favourites were the causa and the seco de cordero

- Go for the seafood. Ceviche & Choros Y Langoustines A La Crema 👌 - There are salsa classes on Wednesdays at 7. - The owners are friendly. - Inca cola is like a creamy irn bru. The pisco sour was tasty. - the grill is only on certain days.

Amazing food, the most welcoming staff, would definitely recommend ❤️

The best ceviche I've had and lovely staff too!

El sitio no tiene nada que ver con un restaurante peruano , la comida un desastre, la camarera que dice que es italiana pero no lo es , ( no entiendo por qué niega su origen ) es muy irrespetuosa , maleducada , se subía en una silla detrás de la mesa a abrir ventanas , a poner luces la verdad fue un momento muy desagradable, cuando nos sirvieron la comida ya habíamos comenzado a comer , cuando se aparece de respete sacándole foto a los platos , sin siquiera pedir permiso osea una verdadera locura , la comida era normal nada que ver con peruana no estaba buena ni mala nada que ver , pero la camarera es lo peor que tiene este sitio , luego el señor de cabello largo que enseña salsa muy educado y muy amable . pero la camarera un desastre y super maleducada, hay que tener un poco de respeto por los clientes .

Lovely attentive service from Cinzi who took time to explain the menu and give recommendations. Good selection of Peruvian dishes (highly recommend the traditional potato starter) with a couple of bonus Italian options avaliable too.

Bardzo dobre jedzenie. Wspaniała obsługa.

The best meal we had when we visited Newcastle but, while the food was exceptional, the best part was the staff. They were warm, engaging and bickered like family.

Amazing place, so attentive, kind and funny atmosphere, the people who work/own this place are amazing, can't wait to go back!

What a super restaurant. Fantastic food. Incredibly friendly staff.

The food was absolutely delicious. Freshly made and authentic. We ordered causa, aji de pollo and seco de cordero which was great! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. I strongly suggest visiting this place and I promise it will not be your last visit. Atmosphere was great and music was a cherry on the top! Thank you for making our evening wonderful.

Wow great bar and the best host she can't do enough for you

GENIAL! I met Coco (the owner) in a salsa class and we went for a drink and some food at Rumba! Great place, great food and amazing costumer service! Coming back for some salsa and drinks for sure! Gracias!

Vriendelijke ontvangst en heerlijk gegeten. Cocktails waren weg lekker. Voor het eerst Peruaans gegeten, maar zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

Never been to a worse restaurant, one of the tenders was very rude to me and the attitude is beyond disgusting!

Incredible food and the nicest owners in the world - definitely recommend

Lovely different food. Real Flavour explosion. Wonderful hosts and we will definitely be back. Delicious 😋

Really nice food. The owners were really nice and recommended us local dishes and drinks. Definitely worth going!

Food is amazing much rich in flavour would highly recommend. Staff very friendly, always around if needed something extra. Atmosphere is very unique, very friendly and family like atmosphere. Live music is really good and the salsa classes too.

Amazing!! Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Food was to die for, people were lovely, music was great, facilities spotless. Worth every penny, and we will definitely be back! We took their recommendations on the food and drink as we were very open to trying new things and it was all amazing. The signature cocktail was delicious and the food was beautifully presented with awesome flavours. This place is a must try and I can't wait to go back.

Delicious food and superb atmosphere. Family run. Needs a cleaner bathroom though.

Nice Bar and disko, and have good DJ with Latino music, and dances for all the World.

Absolutely disgusted with the service, had to pay money to get in for the nightclub, got given a green wristband got told I had a free shot, so I went to the bar to collect my free shot, told I was lied to then I got the middle finger from one of the bartenders. Don't go there. They will single you out for being different and judge you. Had to leave because we were extremely uncomfortable. It's not worth the service. Drinks are overpriced.

Great experience! The ceviche was really amazing! And the staff so helpful and lovely! I am happy I was recommended this place. As soon as I got there I got the super lovely service from Coco. He suggested a couple of options and I took the ceviche and the lomo asado. In the meantime I even had the opportunity to speak with the chef. Unfortunately since I had to take the train really soon I realised I needed my second plate to be wrapped for takeaway. They did that and helped me pay and leave as soon as possible, successfully making it to the train where I finished my meal. Thank you very much!

Really tasty food, definitely worth a try if you're looking for something different.

Good food, good customer service

Food was lush 5 star service and would recommend this bar /restaurant to anyone and i would definitely be going there again well worth the spend

The food is amazing staff very friendly place is very clean would recommend any one to try best food

Fantastic place, good food, good service and very good music ♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic atmosfera sexy lady boss italian

A friend chose this restaurant a few months ago as he couldn't find ceviche anywhere else. I had the lomo saltado (delicious) and shared rum glazed pineapple as a desert. Very friendly staff, gave lots of pointers as none of us had had Peruvian food before and well priced, would definitely visit again.

Amazing food and staff, I spent a month in Peru 2 years ago and have been dying to have the food again and it was exactly how I remembered. Cinzia the waitress was lovely 👏 - Highly recommend

Amazing atmosphere at Rumba, great Latin music, the staff are so friendly and the food was so delicious.

We are regular visitors to Rumba at night for a drink and a dance. The music is always amazing (especially when CoCo is DJing) both Cinzia and CoCo are amazing hosts and an amazing night is always guaranteed with a brilliant atmosphere! We've also recently been for food and will most definitely be back! Service and food were all 5 star thank you! Xx

Super friendly staff, made out group feel very welcome. Explained the menu (food and drink) as it was out first time trying Peruvian food, so staff recommended some specialities as well. Good was nice and atmosphere was laid back. Felt very looked after the entire time.

Felt forced into eating here from what i suspect was the owners. Food was lovely but not worth its price

Strangest experience ive ever had on a night out. Bouncers were very rude when I asked where the womens loos were.

What a lovely, awesome place. Great food, nice atmosphere. I went here for my birthday and it was really, really good!

Great place, great food, coco was friendly and we had a laugh with him, he gave my girlfriend a Sambuca because it was her birthday which was nice.

The food was great, staff very friendly, we learnt something new about Peru and about more than 2000 kinds of potatoes, definitely worth of visit and tasting authentic and delicious food and drinks x

A nice family run authentic South American restaurant that cooks great food for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone after South American cuisine. Friendly staff with great service.

Great place. Excellent food, attentive staff, fun engaging management. Chef came out to see if we were enjoying the food (absolutely!!) and relaxed friendly tropical ambiance. Was very pleased with the experience. Make sure you meet Coco . Authentic Peruvian dishes well done served with great hospitality and enthusiasm.

Stupenda serata con gli amici di rumba

Excellent for and value for money, very friendly staff. Thank you coco for the great hospitality.

Lovely food and brilliant staff

Great food, friendly staff. Good entertainment, and helpful recommendations from the chef.

Love this place, Coco is such a charming guy and so patient too!!

A friendly and warm authentic latin bar/restaurant with lovely music. Danced to the latin tunes all night. It has definitely transported me to a different continent for a couple of hours!

Great place for food und drinks and salsa! We had a lot of fun there with Ceviche & Pisco Sour & salsa :)

Nice music but very crowded. It's hard to find in this crowd some place for dancing.

Great place, very friendly staff

The placebeas deserted which often worries you. However rest assured the food is amazing. Having never eaten Peruvian food before I easwas sure what to expect. However food is healthy and really tasty. Lovely staff decent piscos. Well worth it.

Not as authentic as it should be. Just ok.

Went for dinner last night on the basis of all the amazing reviews we saw. I don't know whether it was because the place hadn't got going yet (it was 7:30 and the place is open until 4am!) but I just don't get it. Don't get me wrong, the food was okay and very good value for money, but on the basis of the reviews I was expecting to have my socks knocked off. In the end, they remained firmly on my feet the whole time and I was fairly underwhelmed by the food. I had the spicy seafood stew which was a fairly standard tomato based fish stew which was tasty but nothing to write home about. The starter was cold sliced boiled potatoes with a huancaina sauce. The sauce was lovely, but why not give it to something more exciting than cold boiled potatoes? Very odd. However, I wouldn't want to put anyone off from going there, particularly since their pisco sours are immense and the staff are lovely. Just maybe rein in your expectations a bit if you've read all the reviews...

I went last night with a Peruvian friend and she confirmed me that's one of the best Peruvian restaurant in UK ! Staff was more than lovely, I feel like at home! If you go to Newcastle you must try it!

1 star for it being open late and another one the cans of stella. That's about it really.
