Snackwallah in Newcastle upon Tyne

Food just isnt up to scratch. Did not taste authentic at all. The staff although friendly didnt seem to be knowledgeable about the food they served.

Heard good things and was in the area so popped in for lunch. Simple street food - all good. Now it’s a Vegan restaurant and normally I’ve not been too impressed when places are full on vegan - but got to try things. My hesitations were unfounded. It was lovely. Good curry and samosa. Well cooked and tasty. Filling too. £12 for a full plate. Good value too. Only thing I’d like to improve is a bit of heat in the curry. But I would come back if I was around toon.

Friendly place, lovely vegan food, extremely nutritious & good value for money

Amazing food, I was so happy I found this gem. Staff really friendly too! Curry of the day is great value. I'm gutted I don't live here as I would become addicted!!

We ordered the curry banquet, pani puri, vada pao and masala chai. While the effort was valiant, it was not authentic Indian street food. The golgappa pani was more like green chutney and the masala chai tasted like instant tea.

Absolutely delightful little spot in the Grainger Market. Authentic tasty food, delicious chai and the staff are so wonderful :P

The food here has so much flavour &the staff are Amazing....very friendly, helpful, informative &leave you2get on with enjoying your food ...We will be back4sure xXx

Family-friendly atmosphere with a diverse menu. Kid-approved!

The food was very tasty and hot, the staff were nice and there is a small seating area, which was a little cool as it was January...but we'll worth a try if you're in Granger market.

Another lovely visit. The masala chai really Is the best. The curry’s are always super flavourful. I cannot recommend this place enough.

This place is amazing. Everything is vegan with a couple of gluten free options. Delicious food. Only downside for me personally was that my food was laced with coriander on top. Coriander haters, make sure you request none on your food! 😜

Fab little find, everything is vegan and a few good GF options which was a lovely surprise! Food was cooked fresh, lassi was refreshing and will definitely be back!

So it’s a tiny cafe kind of spot inside Grainger market. They serve vegan and vegetarian food. The menu is pretty decent. The food is just passable or like it’s very normal. It’s Indian food Indian food usually is very complex but you can make it in a simple way as well. It’s that simplified version of Indian dishes. The portion size is just ok. I tried the curry of the day combo. Which keeps changing everyday - today it was baingan ka bartha ( mashed eggplant with spices ) and a portion of daal ( lentils ) and rice come with a portion of naan as well. One good thing about the food is that it’s not loaded with oil as most of the Indian restaurants here in UK do. More like a home cooked meal. It’s crowded during lunch and there is a bit of wait.

The food is so tasty! A perfect spot for a quick lunch, came across it by accident and the smell drew us in! We loved would definitely go back. Baji wrap delicious

great Indian street food. really reasonably priced and utterly delicious Daal! definitely worth a try

Brilliant little Street food cafe in the grainger market. Food is amazing great value. We found it in September and went 3 times that week. Back in Newcastle and we came back again and went twice in one day. Staff remembered us from the first time. Highly recommended.

Spotted this place when walking through the grainger market and decided to give it a try. Me and my wife ordered the curry banquet along with a tiki aloo burger and was massively impressed with the quality and taste. Never really tried vegan food but the banquet gave us the opportunity to try a couple of curries along with rice, bhaji, samosas and dips which was really interesting. All were exceptionally spiced and very tasty. Would definitely try again next time we’re in Newcastle.

A locally ran lovely business. Serving up delicious meals all at great value. Eat in or takeaway. Lovely atmosphere watching the market world go by. Our go to for a bite to eat when in town for the curry of the day.

Best chai I have had in the UK. Keep up the awesomeness!

Hidden gem! Our favourite place to visit for Indian street food in Newcastle. So affordable and the taste is amazing! Highly recommend

On the Triple A Food Tour and had a wonderful street food sample from here. Fresh, tasty and great value!

We enjoyed a small snack meal very much we will go there again thank you

My go to place in Newcastle for masala chai n pakora plate... Everyday here is curry of the day... Definitely try it once!!

Authentic Indian taste. Liked it so much. Will definitely come here often

Great food, very reasonable price. Would highly recommend the Aloo Tikki

Famous Indian snacks spot inside Grainger market.

Food can be way better in terms of variety and taste. The menu is limited. Limited choices with premium a price tags. Taste is not bad but can be improved. A Mumbai sandwich is recommended.

They had ran out of the main curry so we had Daal with rice and a bhaji wrap, washed down with lassi and masala chai. Its outstanding. The only thing I would say is it's possibly too cheap. Add £1 to everything and I bet they wouldn't loose custom it really is that good. An asset to the market.

Best lunch I’ve had in a long time. I bought Puri a sandwich and an iced coffee for £12/13 and it tasted so fresh and delicious.

Very tasty stop off samosas and hot chai tea. Very busy and great atmosphere.

One of the most heart warming places to grab a bite in Newcastle. Tucked in the grainger market, this is a popular choice for locals and tourists. Food: With every visit, I find that the food only gets better each time. It took me a while to realise that everything on the menu is vegan. It is surprising how they've managed to serve great chai with vegan milk. They use whole spices in their food. This brings out the authenticity of the dishes. I had the curry banquet today. It was a well priced experience overall. I love the fact they have a rotating menu for curry of the day. Do lookout for specials over the weekend. I have had vada pavs and dosas in the past. Service: The staff is extremely friendly. The speed is quick. It is lovely to see the food served in stainless steel utensils. I think that was the cherry on the top for my experience. Atmosphere: The place was clean and spotless. It is a beautiful place with decorative tokens just to remind me of home. Thank you for the wonderful experience. It is great to have such a place to go to in Newcastle city centre.

Oh my GOD, had Pani Puri for the first time and I'm convinced I got transported to heaven! Nicest thing I've ever eaten, my other half had this sick sandwich with potato in it! Unreal. Place is such a vibe, super cool.

I am Indian and I confirm this is not owned by Indians nor authentic Indian. False advertising!

Great veggie scran - samosa daal is my favourite so far. Really nice place.

The wraps are amazing, curry of the day was amazing, the lady serving us was really friendly and they did some delicious Indian sweets. Very busy though

Snackwallah is really as it’s name is - the perfect place for a snack in Grainger Market. We went on a Wednesday afternoon, and it was packed - had to wait 5 minutes before we could get a table. We loved the food here! Indian street food which was quick, delicious and hearty. The masala chai was especially lovely. Portions were not too large, priced appropriately, and really worth it. In total, our meal ( 2 meal/snacks + masala chai) was about £11. Really worth it!

Great pit-stop in centre of Newcastle. Indian Street food and drinks. We had panoramic and bhel puri with chai. All made fresh and very tastey. Loved my masala chai. Will return.

Was diffrent all vegatiren some off the flavours where quit strong nan was kinda tuff could have been better but a really liked the fact the had little banquet that's the only reason I went may try it again

The food was excellent. I had a crepe filled with a potato based curry. It was so good. We did take away but you can sit in if you prefer. It took a little longer than I thought it would for things to be prepped but it was definitely worth it. I'll be back.

Great vegan food. Quick service and a wide range of options to choose from. I had the mango lassi and daal with rice. I would go back again!

The pickled pakora wrap was really good and reasonably priced. The wait was quite long though, so don't expect a quick bite.

Great food, good size portions, excellent value for money, definitely worth checking out

Splendid authentic curry with just the right of spice. The curry of the delay is excellent

Nice selection of Indian street food. We loved Pani Puri :) You get crispy shells filled with chutney, chickpeas, yoghurt. Then pour some masala water and eat it in one bite. It is so tasty and fun to eat. Looks very cute too! Mango lassi was so great too!

Obsessed with their Pickle Pakora Wrap! Amazing Indian street food packed with so much flavour. Went twice in two days and I can't wait to try the rest of their menu.

Amazing food (great pani puri), and such a lovely atmosphere and staff! 🙏🏼💓

Been here a few times. Always good food and reasonably price. Plenty of choice.

Very tasty and full of flavour foods. Friendly staff. Excellent value for money too. Top notch Vegan Indian!!

The SnackWallah Indian restaurant is a gem in the heart of the city. The restaurant's vibrant and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an enjoyable dining experience. The menu offers a range of authentic Indian dishes, from flavorful curries to tasty street food snacks, all bursting with rich spices and flavors. The portions are generous, and the service is prompt and attentive. The restaurant is also well-known for its fantastic selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. With its delicious food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, the SnackWallah Indian restaurant is a must-visit

Wasn’t blown away with this meal to be honest. We had very slow service with ordering even though we were at the front of the queue, we still had to wait 5 minutes to be served. The chickpea curry of the day was pretty bland for a curry, naan portion was tiny, but as a whole our meal was pretty inexpensive. On the plus, the banana lassi was delicious (but tiny) and the decorations were nice when we ate in.

Ordered the Mumbai toast and pani puri absolutely delicious 😋

Nice Indian street food. Despite the queue didn’t have to wait long for a table as people eat and go. Fine to be there on your own. Pani Puri was a snack. If you want a proper lunch go for the curry deal.

Not what I was expecting- it's a small food stall with seating for about 30 inside a market. Super delicious food. We had the samosa plate and the daal. Really top notch quality. We'll bring our children along next time.

Not recommended for chana chat, samosa chat.

Wallah a place to have a Snack! I’ve been twice before but for some reason never left a review! Just like it tasted when I travelled Southern India years ago. Authentic and simple with gobsmacking flavour. Never have I tasted Indian food this good in the UK north of London. Curry Banquet of the Day £10. A spicy Dansak curry (white cabbage, tomato, cumin, garam masala, onion, red chilli and lentils) and rice with naan bread, the best daal in the Toon, 2 pakoras, 2 samosas, green chutney, tamarind chutney and mango chutney. You could have rolled me out the snack shack. Delightful. Washed down with a good Masala Chai. Would I recommend? Get there soon Will I return? I have and I’m on a bungee now, so every time I hit the Toon it’s my go-to place. Staff are lovely too. Well done SW

Well the five stars are for the ambiance and atmosphere. I would like to rate less than zero for chana chat masala, samosa chat and Mumbai sandwich. Chick peas should never be served chilled. The same applies for samosa chat. I wouldn’t call chana chat as a chat, it was a salad with mix of chick peas, snacks and onions. I don’t see any masala in the chat, all I see is the dominance of onions and chick peas. When it comes to Indian food, what makes the food different is the aroma and the magic of the spices. These attributes are missing in so called chana chat masala, samosa chat and Mumbai sandwich. Let me know if you need help.

No frills, incredible value and excellent food.

Really tasty food at a great price. Who knew that vegan food could be so nice?

It’s a vegan restaurant, the food tastes very good, it’s quite a small portion but with the price it worth the value. The place is very clean and neat, food is presentable and good.

Lovely Indian food inside the Grainger market. The banquet was delicious, but I would have liked more rice. I'll definitely be coming back.

Steadily working our way through the Grainger Market food places and this week they got us. We arrived for 11.30am and by 12 noon every seat was taken. We both ordered the banquet for £10 each and it was delightful. Packed with flavour, piping hot and a huge array of gorgeousness. The only downside is how cold the Grainger Market is but that wouldn't stop us returning. No wonder the place gets packed out.

I had the samosa chaat here, it is pretty close to the authentic flavours. The only downside was that I felt the chickpeas dominated the samosa plate more than the samosa, flavour wise it was a delight.

Fab pit-stop for tasty food at a great price. 👍

Lovely little stop by the market

If you are from India and want to try chat please don't go for it. For the shop owner Please remove the name authentic Indian food from your name board. It may be good for non Indians.

Very nice food. The bun of the bahji butty was a bit too soggy from some sauce. Pakoras and chutneys are nice - we ordered a second plate of them - as are the Pani Puri shells.

Tasty indian street food shop. It's a small shop but it's got lot seating if you want dine-in. Takeaways available.

Good, and I mean good, healthy, and very tasty fast food served with a smile, what's not to like.

The food is so tasty And fresh super healthy can’t beat this place for taste and value love it.

I ordered a dish that was basically a tin of chick peas, onion and coriander. Was really 😞 as it was a cold dish anyway. If you are on your own it's a struggle to get a seat as a lot if people get a seat whilst their opposite is ordering

Panipuri heaven!! A must visit every time I'm in the Toon!

Masala chai and samosa chat are worth trying, must recommended for an Indian desi snack!!!

A little wonder into grainger market and curry of the day was 6 quid, forgotten what it was but for 6 quid, wuw, had to give it a go, the curry was flavourful, cabbage, lots of ingredients so difficult to describe, vibrant, colourful, comes with a little naan, fantastic.

Decided to try this place out after hearing good things and walking past the place looking busy and popular. Found the service excellent and good extremely tasty + good value. Be sure to wear a good thick coat for dining in, Grainger Market this time of year is not in any way insulated from cold! Great all round value and quality and will return.

Fantastic India Street food. Take away or sit in. Highly recommend going for a bite for lunch or just a snack. Bhaji wrap was great.

Very flavourful, affordable prices, would return.

Very good value, friendly staff and quick service. Food was served promptly and it was all hot as well as fresh. Cutlery and seating could both have been a bit more user friendly

Food was good. Small queue around lunch time here. But staff is well trained to manage the queue as quickly as possible. Both take away and dine-in orders are treated with equal priority. Masala chai was authentic. Located inside Grainger market.

Read about SnackWallah online and it was really recommended. So I thought I would try out this place. I was not disappointed. The food tastes authentic and quite spicy. The chai masala is full of original flavour. I am surprised! This is a small vegetarian Indian food stall inside the market. The food and drinks are amazing. There is a small queue around lunch time when I went and small area for sit-in diners. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

Superb authentic food and drinks, can't wait to come back, busy place and still got served very quickly

Really nice place to grab lunch. Samosa Daal was lovely! Well priced and delicious street food!

I went here for lunch, had samosa plate, bhelpuri and mango drink. Samosa plate was nice but didn't like the bhelpuri. Food quantity is good! Recommend!

I found this beautiful little place on a day out with family. Wow. Atmosphere and vibe was lovely. The menu was simple. The prices were brilliant. The staff were calm and friendly. Service with a smile. The food was authentic, smelt wonderful and was presented so lovingly on the plate. All the food has been served hot. You can sit in or takeaway but I much prefer to sit in. This place suits all budgets and ypu certainly get alot for your money. I'd eat here everyday if I lived in Newcastle. We need this in Durham

Delicious indian food and good value for money

Awesome lunch out. Super staff. Very happy.

Brilliant place for a bite to eat. It's all vegan and very tasty!

Wonderful place to stop for small bites or a full meal. Staff are super friendly, dishes are full of flavor, service is quick. The angel Puri and Samosa Daal were fantastic. Highly recommended for a quick stop!

Absolutely sensational! The food here is fantastic and such good value for money. We had the curry of the day and an onion bhaji wrap for £11! Authentic street food I would say with that western twist! Fantastic and such a delight to see them in the Grainger Market still.

Excellent loved .price good too. Bel puri chick peas deluxe plate

Amazing, authentic indian food. Big plus for the completely plant based menu. Thanks!

Fantastic Indian inspired snacks and meals. Great for a small bite during your food tour of the market.

As a veggie who loves Indian food I'm sick to death of going for an 'Indians' and getting bland, 'sauce stock' curries. Even going for side dishes they're often 'watered down' for an English palette = bland, bland, bland. What a refreshing change SnackWallah is, I only ordered the 'curry of the day' but oh what a joy! 2 curries and rice, and a dahl. All were bursting with flavour and freshness, a dahl, a black bean curry and the rice - the taste of real ingredients and food delivered simply but authentically. What a difference! Where have i been? how long has this place been open? It's what i've missed for years!!! Deffo coming back, only wish they were open later or did delivery :( Will be coming back!

Proper pani puri - so delicious. Other food looked great too. And really good value at £4 for 6 pani puri.

Really tasty, generous portions and quick service. We visited an hour before closing so the naan was a bit dry but otherwise delicious. Apart from the Curry Banquet (£10) we had a pakora wrap (£5) which was also very generous and tasty, though could’ve had more sauce in. Excellent value for money so would definitely visit again!

Visited SnackWallah yesterday with my family, tried many dishes. Served hot and taste delicious. Felt like having these dishes in Chennai, India. Price was okay, Mango lassi tastes good but quantity can be increased. Overall good experience, highly recommend to visit here.

We had the Maharaja's banquet, lovely and fresh and so tasty. Staff lovely and friendly. Would definitely use again.

Excellent tasty and spicy hot vegan food. Chilled ambience. Oddly, a customer nearby praised the food but the recipient staff member just walked off, looking embarrassed. I do not understand that but hey, people are odd. I love this place and will call again.

Very authentic Bombay Street food in a great location in Grainger market. Try the samosa chaat and nimbu paani. Or gol gappas (panipuri or phuchka depending on where in India you have been) if you are adventurous.

Average food, the masala chai is served is instant tea, so below expectation. I was served a bitter tea and when asked was said it is the left out last bits so strong or call it bitter.
