Sachins Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

What a meal. The food was the best we have ever had. Service absolutely brilliant attentive but not on top of you. I was a special meal for my wife graduation. To end the night a really appreciated drink on the house for her achievement. Simply a special night. Thank you. Ps we had the set meal for 2 around the world beautiful

We hadn't been to Sachins in years, and it has only improved. We had fantastic food, and amazingly friendly service tonight. We'll be going back again soon. And a shout out to Sing-Sational, thanks for a super fun night!

It's fabulous! Whether your veggie or not the food is simply superb. Excellent service from everyone. Highly recommend

Tucked behind Newcastle Train Station is the Kohinoor of the Noth East. Sachins is without contest the best Punjabi/Indian restaurant for miles around. Care is woven into every element of their experience. Their restaurant stylish, bathrooms flawless, service exceptional and food out of this world. The staff go above and beyond. Shall and Mr Singh put their all into crafting an unforgettable experience. This is our third time here, here's to many more!!

Excellent evening at Sachins. I'd wanted to eat here for a while so booked for a few office colleagues on a Wednesday evening. The food was delicious and the service was great. Singhsational and his colleagues were very welcoming and entertaining! Highly recommended, we will be back again for sure!

Great night had by all. Restaurant was busy and atmosphere was good, for a Wednesday evening. The drink and food orders were taken promptly and the head waiter was very informative with many recommendations given. The pickles and starters were delicious. All main courses were suitably served hot on nice hot plates 👍🏼and cooked well. Maybe lacking a tiny touch of seasoning, S&P and none available on the tables for personal preference. However this did not terribly detract from the flavour variations across all dishes. The meal overall was very, very good, ample and the peshwari nan bread simply divine. The service throughout was incredibly friendly and fun. "Singh Sational" a right character and helped make the birthday night treat even more enjoyable. Thanks all we'll be back sooner rather than later.

I visited today for dinner with my friends. As an Indian customer, this is the cheapest quality of chicken I ever tasted. Waste of money to visit this restaurant..

Absolutely gorgeous authentic Indian food, friendly service by Singhsational and great decor. Portion sizes of food was generous and probably the best lamb dish I ever had in a Indian restaurant, so if you like lamb curry I highly recommend the Lamb Tari Wala.

Lovely place , my wife booked a table for 7 people , 3 meat eaters and 4 vegetarians , the service from once we entered the door was fantastic , as you do getting a photo taken normally one person misses out , not this enter the singhsanstionl 😂thanks , the food was delicious and very tasty , with the service of the staff friendly and polite who looked rushed off there feet at times , and to top it off I got a cake with a candle and all sang happy birthday thanks bob and team 👏👏👏

I used to visit when I lived in Newcastle over 25 years ago when it was known as a fine dining restaurant. We ate there on Friday evening as part of a weekend in town as part of our 25th wedding anniversary celebrations. What a fabulous place it is now. Friendly owners and staff. Made very welcome and given the VIP treatment. It was fun and the food was fantastic. Thank you for making our evening special and we will be back when we are in town again

Went for a meal with my husband as we were visiting Newcastle to see a couple of gigs. We have to be careful eating out as my husband is gluten intolerant. On our informing the waiter of this every effort was made to accommodate. They even made him a gluten free Nan bread. Waiter was very informed about what came from the kitchen and what meals my husband could order. In addition to this the food was amazing. Best curry I’ve had in a very long time..

Great food and service. Staff were amazing. Singh sang for my wife’s birthday too. Food arrived really fast and was delicious

My husband and I went to Sachins for our anniversary meal. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly, particularly Singh. It was a nice touch when he presented us with a candle-lit slice of cake. We'll certainly visit again!

Beautiful food. Amazing service especially from “singh sational” 🤣. Also got some free cake for my husbands birthday! Will be back soon!

First time of going but would definitely go back, very friendly atmosphere staff very accommodating, food to die for, drinks a bit expensive but the food makes up for that. Place clean and tidy would highly recommend.

Excellent meal as always! Bob is the best host!

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant. Night stop over in Newcastle for work and I asked the hotel concierge if there was a decent tandoori nearby. He advised me that 'Sachins' was a couple of minutes walk away. Absolutely beautiful food, well spiced but real depth of flavour and lovely folk running the restaurant. If you're in Newcastle and like a curry, look it up, doubt You'd be disappointed. Will definitely be back again :)

The food was really good and I had a pleasant experience. I must stress though, more than quarter of my bill was VAT and a service charge which I find a bit mental (£12.53, £48.20 total)That puts a pint of Cobra or Kingfisher at £8.40 a pint 😳 By the way, a service charge puts me off leaving a decent tip

I had to ask for a subscription to the sea bass starter! Had an amazing time here this evening, portions were of adequate amounts so there was no feeling overly full when we left. The staff were amazing and made us feel welcomed. Overall our visit exceeded our expectations and we will be looking to visit again. Perfect if you're in the city and staying at the Crowne Plaza.

Amazing food and really lovely staff. Had a birthday meal and got treated very special with a song in English and Punjabi. Singhsational

Excellent banquet for two for Friday lunch (Sachins Tandoori platter was amazing and first time for a prawn curry here and they were cooked to perfection). First visit on a lunchtime and restaurant was very quiet and a lovely place to relax and chat over great food. My new favourite restaurant in Newcastle (third visit in last couple of months) and the go to place for amazing food. Great to have a bit of banter with Chef while we were there.

We had a large group eat here in June. All the staff were fantastic! So friendly and helpful. I'd like to give a special shout out to Balbir, he went above and beyond and added to the experience! The food was delicious, as were the drinks from the bar. If i was in town again, I'd eat here every day.

Fantastic food, great service, made welcome as soon as we walked through the door, Singhsational made the whole night even better with his charm and wit 😄!! Will be back soon.

Ordered Tandoori goshat (lamb) and steamed rice. Rice was perfect and about 20% more than the usual serving size. The lamb had a delicious sauce- fresh ingredients (strips of ginger and onion in it), not liquidised sauce that tastes like out of a jar. Service ok and friendly staff. Decent decor so nice for an event. They add 10% service charge, which is not usual for curry houses in the region

Really amazing service. Booked for myself and twelve friends and we were all delighted by the staff, food and atmosphere. Anticipated some level of reticence from the staff for a big group of rowdy goths but they didn't make it an issue. The food is to die for - I had the Murgh Korma which was extremely tasty and graciously not oversweet. I was also given a slice of absolutely indulgent chocolate cake with it being my birthday, and invited to request a song, which really made our day. All of my thanks must go to the pseudonymous Singh-sation for his hospitality. Price was reasonable, with all of us having multiple drinks, copious poppadoms, a main and a side at less than £40/head even after the service charge. Please put long island iced tea on the drinks menu, i wish to have one when i come back.

The staff were very friendly, we hadn't booked but they still managed to fit in our group of 5 after a short wait maybe 10 minutes. The drinks ordered came very quickly after that, food ordered and was very hot and well presented. Special mention to our two waiters, especially Bob Singh

Singh Sational experience. First visited here over 20 years ago and was blown away with the quality of food, then again 10 years ago.. A group of 11 of us went last night as a special occasion and was not disappointed. There was Vegan options to cater for the awkward one in the group (myself), vegetarian options and a plethora of meat and fish dishes. Sometimes when you are at a restaurant with a large group of people the service can falter or mistakes made with food.. Not here.. All the staff were attentive, fantastic and just sheer brilliant. My Son had a great Birthday, made special by Sachins quality of food, atmosphere and amazing staff.. I cannot recommend this place enough... the price was very reasonable for for the quality of food and service.

Lovely restaurant located quite close to Newcastle train station. Staff were very welcoming & friendly & couldn't do enough. Also helpful with recommendations of dishes. The food itself was really tasty & the portion sizes were just right. Large selection of dishes & reasonably priced. Special mention has to go to Singh Sational (only because he asked for it) 🤣 Seriously though, can highly recommend this place. Give it a try 👍

My wife had been a few times and told me how good it was so we went together and this place did not disappoint, great food and brilliant staff

Food amazing and so were the people (especially Singh Sational) as there was lots of choices for vegans,vegetarian and meat eaters.

Food was a bit too salty, service was good, there was only one other couple dining so atmosphere was non existent.

Amazing night at Sachins. Our wedding Anniversary and we got the best service and best experience special mention to the staff who go above and beyond. Made our night even more memorable and special

Best quality ingredients, service, and overall experience;)

I've updated my review from a year or so back. It was nice to see that this popular restaurant has has a breath of new life into it. They have redecorated to a good standard, nice relaxed atmosphere, decent tunes playing. The staff as always very polite, professional and sociable - gave advice on dishes and offered to alter spicyness to taste. The food was lovely, we opted for the banquet for two with added pickles and tried some different dishes to what we'd normally go for and enjoyed everything. The draught IPA was just right to wash it down with. Top marks - and hi to Singhsational - I'll stick this on TripAdvisor too just this once!

Recently redecorated with a bold and colourful plant themed scheme... Service was excellent and very good quality food - it's clear that the owners and staff are proud of their restaurant. More than happy to recommend. We'll be back soon 😎

We were staying next door at the Crowne Plazza and saw Sachin's as we were arriving at the hotel. We read the positive reviews in Google and decided to book a table which was handy as when we arrived there was a queue of walk ins waiting for tables. We were taken to our table and enjoyed the very positive atmosphere created by patrons and staff. The Punjabi food was superb, particularly the Lucknowi Tikka, the Lamb Tan Wala, and the Murgh Pasanda. The food was accompanied by Cobra lager and it was the perfect accompaniment. By the end of the meal we could see why Sachin's had received such positive reviews.

Great friendly service with excellent food and a great atmosphere

Lovely restaurant, friendly attentive service, great food, very reasonable prices. Will certainly return.

Can't visit Newcastle without getting a lucknowi Tikka from here. When they say spicy.......they mean it, so be careful. The 'formerly known Jalfrazy' is ridiculous 😅 so many interesting Dishes

Amazing food, service and friendliness. Will definitely come back.

Our second visit to Sachins from Scotland in just over a month. One of the reasons we returned was the amazing food and fabulous customer service from absolutely all staff, that made us feel like family. Already thinking of who I can bring down for my birthday in August. We'll done guys, you are just amazing x

Absolutely amazing food, amazing service (Singh-Sational had us laughing throughout our meal...and even wanted to hop in a photo with us! But all the other serving staff were excellent too!) Beautifully decorated and felt so well looked after. Will definitely be back!

I’ve been here a couple of times in the past few weeks. Very friendly service and the food is excellent. Highly recommend a visit!

Really nice food great staff 👍🍻

Was in Newcastle and after reading the reviews booked for myself and a colleague Booked in advance ( recommended as gets busy ) Lovely welcome and seated quickly I can't take much spice buy earned my brave girl badge last night Ordered korma, and was told it wasn't like normal korma and had a bit of a kick, but the said they would make it mild. Well it did have a kick, quite spicy My friend had tikka which was milder than mine To be fair the offered to make me a tikka in exchange, but as had already ate most of the chicken I politely declined We had poppadoms, pickle tray 1 korma ( hot lol ) 1 tikka ( lovely and not hot ) Pilau rice 2 nan 1 large wine 2 hot chocolates Service was fantastic, couldn't fault them. If you want genuine service these guys are highly recommended If you can't take anything spicy tell them Would happily return

Nothing tasted nice except popodums and naan, added service charge as non optional. Food is quite disappointing. The waiters were pleasant

I eat here almost every week while staying over with work and it has to be one of the best curry houses in the UK. Incredible food and the service is second to none. Would recommend to anyone no matter what the occasion. From the moment you walk in until you leave, the staff cannot do enough to make you feel welcome and looked after. First class 👏👏👏

Had a fantastic evening here. The food was delicious, the staff so attentive. I would recommend anyone to have a meal here. You will not be disappointed

Absolutely fantastic! The place is really nice, the staff are brilliant and the food is amazing. We were greated immediately on walking in and given a choice of tables straight away. As mentioned everyone was super friendly and helpful, dishes were offered to sample and tweaked to taste - a little milder/ a little more spicy as options if necessary. The staff are very attentive and made the whole experience the highlight of the last few days. I would highly recommend Sachins and will be coming back again when in town or celebrating again. Thanks to everyone there for an awesome meal.

It's a shame on Indian specially Punjabi cuisine. The malai kofta that we had was worst ever. My dinner was spoiled because it was no value for money. The chef and staff have not seen or had Malai kofta in their life so they tried to make fool of us by serving. green peas kachori in random curry.

This is not a Punjabi Restaurant . most of the Crew is from middle east 1 Punjabi guy on the bar. Don't know where the Chef is from but he is not Punjabi. I have no review for Food it was not acceptable . seem like frozen food microwaved before serving.

Family dinner, went well, amazing food and and fun freindly service.

If you want an incredible curry with the best atmosphere and incredible attentive staff this is the best curry house in Newcastle food is delicious from starters to dessert it’s the best around. Staff are so friendly and attentive 5 stars isn’t enough

It's no secret that Sachins is our favourite restaurant. We visited last night with friends and each couple ordered the Gourmet meal for 2 small plates (taster) menu 😋 which on Thursdays includes a bottle of house wine. Everything was absolutely delicious and we experienced dishes that we would not usually order as part of this set menu. We would recommend Sachins on any day of the week but on a Thursday with the bottle of wine included it's even greater value for money. Thanks once again to Bob and his team for another excellent meal 😋

We went with a very large table and honestly the service was quicker and more efficient than what you’d expect for a table for two. Food was incredible, they even offered tasters of the sauces before we ordered mains, incredible service and really lovely vibes. Thanks 🙏🏻

Popular but issues with food quality and very expensive for alcohol. We asked for no coriander leaf in our food, a birthday celebration) but my dish (Sachins dhal) had it cooked in and so did the side of aloo ghobi. It put me off my food- I can’t stand the taste. I didn’t eat much and asked for the dhal to be removed from the bill. It wasn’t. Be careful here if you have food allergies. Also bundled in was a £25 service charge above the wine (also £25 per bottle) on the bill (shown only as SC) which we queried as it wasn’t clear what it was. I hope the service charge is shared with the staff as they must make £100s each night. The food was (chilli) hot- even the dhal- and not as tasty (in terms of tasting a range of spices). The rices were poor- we joked that the mushroom rice must have had one only mushroom in it cut into small pieces and the onion rice barely had onion in it either. My mother is from the Punjab and I grew up with Punjabi food- this was very disappointing. Finally. The service is very warm and friendly but slow

Nice restaurant with some different choices of dishes to the normal Indian restaurant. What we had was nice. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overpowering. Would go back.

Fantastic restaurant. Great food and superb service (especially from Bobby). We were a large group of 18 people and the team did an excellent job of serving all our delicious meals simultaneously. I would highly recommend Sachins.

Everything about this place was top notch. The Staff, The Cleanness of the place and the Food was to die for. We will be back. 👍

Sachin's restaurant is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. But it was the food that truly stole the show. Every dish was a flavor explosion, bursting with aromatic spices and fresh ingredients. The butter chicken was creamy and rich, while the vegetable biryani was packed with layers of fragrant rice and perfectly cooked veggies. Each bite transported me to the streets of India. The naan bread was soft and pillowy, the perfect accompaniment to soak up every last bit of sauce. What truly sets Sachin's apart is their attention to detail and commitment to quality. Every dish felt like it was made with love and passion. I left feeling utterly satisfied and already planning my next visit. Sachin's is a must-try for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary experience.

Great Indian food. A regular stop when I go to Newcastle. Very noisy place, but that's the case in many other places.

Good tasting food but following a recent visit, I have just realised that the food hygiene rating has recently been rated only 2 star even though the stickers on the window say it is 5 star. I wouldn't have went if I'd known.

Exelent food, good sized portions and fair prices. Had a lovely meal at Sachins. Also kudos for barman Bobby, he's got a great sense of humour. We'll be back for sure!

What a lovely meal tonight, very tasty and very good portions.Excellent value for money. Service was second to none. Extremely helpful and described different dishes. Would definitely recommend, and if we are ever in this area again would come back.

Dreadful service. Waiting over an hour for food.

It was busy and they seemed panicked. Feels like they need more staff to take food orders. They include a service charge but the service isn’t great. The food comes quickly and is pretty good - like your local takeaway. The curries don’t have a lot of curry. The salmon starter was a bit dry. The chicken tikka was juicy.

Not great service, and my curry was so over loaded with salt it was nigh on inedible. Avoid the lamb murkahni.

Been a while since we've eaten at Sachins and it has lost nothing. Great food great service.

Thank you for making our 1st visit and My Mams 80th special See you gents again

Love Sachins! The food as usual did not disappoint. I had a delicious lamb dish which was described as mild spice, and thankfully it was. ( I'm a one step up from a Korma! ) Service was very good with the staff being polite and friendly. Bobby, our waiter was lovely, engaging and funny.

Wow a fantastic experience stunning food and fantastic service

Went here for the first time last night for my partners and friends birthday, Lovely attentive staff the humour was great, food was fresh beautiful and delicious, when thay realised we where celebrating a birthday brought a slice of chocolate cake out really thoughtful, would highly recommend price very reasonable and we will definaly returning thank you.

Had dinner here with my girlfriend after a match. We have a feast and the food was great. We shared a tandoori platter and got paneer curry and a lamb curry with naan to share. Really really nice food and a warm and friendly welcome by our waiters. Bob and the team went above and beyond when I lost my wallet, which I was able to retrieve out of hours. Great Indian in Newcastle.and highly recommend.

Gone down hill big time Food wasn't great Chicken was tough Better Indian restaurants in Newcastle

Friendly staff,very helpful and the food was excellent 👌 We love it

Service was excellent, atmosphere excellent the food was unbelievable

Not great, there are better Indian restaurants around. Used to be very good, not so much now.

Great dinner with friendly staff. Couldn't fault a thing.

Had a lovely meal tonight celebrating a birthday. Food was brilliant and great recommendations when ordering. Service was great, Bobbi was fantastic!

Absolutely lovely Bobby was a fab 👌 waiter & the food was amazing

absolutely delicious food, chicken starter was Huge and signature jalfrezi (hot) dish was beautiful

We are a group of 6 adults from Scotland, we had been once before many years ago and decided to visit again. We were not disappointed, the food was outstanding We all had something different and everyone throughly enjoyed their meal. A big thank you to our waiter Bobby who was fantastic, very attentive, funny and a genuinely nice guy.

Absolutely amazing! Best curries we have ever had. We went as 2 couples for a Saturday late lunch. We chose the gourmet menu which was reasonably priced at £60 per couple. We’re adventurous eaters and like to try something new and we’re certainly not disappointed. Loved that we we surprised with our main courses. The service was second to none. Our waiter Bobby greeted us with a warm welcome and was just fabulous. A very funny man and made our day. Chef/owner Bob was great too. We’ve booked to return again next month. Can’t wait

Really impressed by the number of vegan options, it's nice not to be an afterthought for once. Daal and Aloo Gobi were top notch and our server Bobby was friendly and helpful.

Attended a training event, upstairs of restaurant used as a function room which worked well. Food was delicious, great service 👌🏼

Me and my family ate here on Saturday night, the food was excellent and the service was spot on! We had Bobby serving us, he was so funny! They welcomed our kids and had a great laugh with the rest of us! Would definitely recommend!

Had a great meal, fast service without feeling rushed. Mad hot plates which I really like. Bobby was an excellent waiter - nothing too much trouble - would definitely recommend

I didn’t think this lived up to the reviews really. The service - on quite a busy Friday night - was pleasant but very very slow. We had to ask for both courses. And the food was OK but not better. Overall it was very gloopy: lots of sauce but not much content. The dhal was good (as I would expect) but my friend’s chicken was inedibly spicy - and she likes hot food. Husband had a pleasant mango-y chicken but so little chicken in the vat of sauce. Rice was good but the popadom and naan were unimpressive and I wondered how recently they’d been made. Quite a noise is made about the place, but I think my rather standard local Anokha is better overall.

Really enjoyed my experience at Sachins. The whole family enjoyed my Grandads 70th Birthday. Special shoutout to Bobby he was the light of the room and created the whole atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. If you need an uplifting environment Bobby will do that for you! Never had a service like it.

Had a curry at teatime on a Saturday in this restaurant.Food was OK but a bit of a small portion size for the cost.Service was OK but a drinks order was not completed in time for us.The restaurant adds a 10% service charge to your bill irrespective of your party size.Foods were on the spicy size with a menu not as extensive as other Indians we have tried.

Called at this restaurant on a Saturday teatime for some food.They squeezed us in as we did not gave a booking at 5pm but gad to be out by 615pm. With the time restraints we decided to order main courses only.We ordered drinks - no draught beers - and ordered our food from the menu.The menu doesn't have some of the regular curries ie dupiaza,shaslick or side orders or chapatis. The food arrived altogether bhuna,butter chicken,chicken murgh,onion rice,nan and rotis.The food was spicier than we were used to but was nice.The portions were on the small side but tasty.The service was a bit hap hazard as they didn't get drinks for a 2nd time when requested at the table.The bill when it came had a 10% service charge added for a table of four people.The food was OK but I've had better and the service could be improved.

Absolutely gorgeous food, incredible flavours, wonderful service, friendly staff, perfect for a date night, the menu is easy to find plant based options too we love Sachins thank you ❤️

It was such an amazing time food was lovely and our waiter was amazing, so friendly,I've never had such a warm welcome into as restaurant I would definitely be coming back to this place, happy days

Amazing food, the dish formerly known as a jalfrezi was unbelievably hot and an excellent experience, recommended for the chilli head. Staff very attentive and friendly . Strongly recommended.

The food was authentic with great flavors. The night was busy with a few large parties. Kitchen got immediately backed up and took three hours to get main course. I would suggest that the restaurant limit the number of larger parties per night.

Absolutely outstanding food and service, Bobby was great with us all night. Food - tikka Paneer and chicken Pakoras highly recommended, and the Curry Formally Known As Jalfriezi, well if you like spice then you'll love it Can't recommend this restaurant enough

Visited for a family birthday, excellent food and great service. Bobby our waiter was very attentive and seen to our every need. Proper class in the words of Bobby

This is a perfect place for work night-outs, casual dining or date nights. Went for Husband’s birthday and was not disappointed. Friendly staff, helpful in dish selections. Lovely tasty food , good selections, value for money. New Staff member Bobby very friendly (great at singing happy birthday).

Food was ok, came in good time, I found it odd the rice was on a plate. Not big portions. Needs to invest in the decor. I personally probably wouldn't go back. also a service charge of £7.20 for 2 people which I thought was weird, I would have tipped
