Snackwallah in Newcastle upon Tyne

Don’t know why they advertise that they’re open from 9:30 but the shutters are always down.

Great little lunch spot, fully vegan.. packed with flavour.. Chutneys are to die for! TIP: If you go on a Saturday, prepare to wait for a seat.

This place is nice and pleasant. Food they are making was really appreciated and fabulous in taste.

El mejor masala chai que he probado - me gustaría poder embotellarlo para llevar. El curry de setas era fantástico y los panes planos son justos.

Good food fresh cooked so a little wait but worth it

Wow! Heard so many good things about this place and was really excited to visit. As soon as we got off the train, we headed straight to the market and it did not disappoint! We both got the curry banquet which was plenty of food for £13. Really tasty samosa and pakoras. The curry of the day had a nice level of spice. Tasty chai and lassi too. Will be back tomorrow!

Si te gusta la especia, esta cafetería de comida callejera india vegana es ideal para una parada de almuerzo rápida y fácil. Muy razonable precio.

Excellent. Food AMAZING flavour, we had curry of the day and tasted so good. Friendly staff and good prices. Definitely would recommend and will be going back. Thank you Snackwallah.

Quality. Really good value, authentic curries. The chai is ace too

DELICIOUS, great value, masala chai really hit the spot, and so satisfyingly authentic flavours. I enjoyed the samosa chaat and bombay sandwich

Great food, authentic, comes quickly

Tasty food, nice staff, will definitely be back

Visited the new location for the first time. Ordered a samosa chaat which I have had here before. When it arrived and I tucked in I was disappointed the samosa was stone cold! Amazing flavours but the samosa should be hot

Very nice meal and good, friendly service.

Been here a couple of times now. Delicious food, friendly staff and quick service. The perfect place for a quick lunch.

The menu is very limited. Taste is not bad. A Mumbai sandwich is recommended.

Located inside the ever busy Grainger market (especially during lunch time !). I was very skeptical about this shop, but they proved me wrong! The snacks here are awesome (samosas, pani puri, bhel puri) and very nominally priced. If you're hungry, I'd definitely recommend the curry banquet as it comes with curry if the day and assortment of other things. I am giving this place 4/5 as sometimes you wouldn't get anywhere to sit and additionally once I was given the end of the pot mushroom curry with excessive cardamom in it, making it quite unpleasant to eat. Recommend this place for a casual meal.

Brilliant food. Affordable and delicious!

¡Me encanta este lugar! Perfecta, deliciosa comida cada vez que venimos y un gran servicio! El mango lassi es el mejor que he probado : )

Never disappoints, delicious food and nice service! Nothing to fault.

Visité por primera vez recientemente y siempre es difícil para mí encontrar gluten - opciones libres, sin embargo hay algunos aquí afortunadamente y el curry Baingan Bharta era delicioso! Tiene un precio razonable y hay una gran variedad de menús. Puedes sentarte dentro y me gustó el ambiente.

Delicious food . Curry of the day and masala chat. Washed down with delicious chai. Very reasonably priced.

Mango lassi was quite delicious. Samosa chaat was good but could improve.

Very very tasty! Love getting my lunch here!

Outstanding veggie curries that are very much like the real thing. The sandwich is very Mumbai. They moved down the alley to get a larger site with seating (a rarity in the Grainger market), and believe me, they could still go larger. I'd give this place a 5 if it wasn't for the random queue/table grabbing, which is a bit too authentic Indian for me.

Increíble comida india! Excelente relación calidad-precio, gran servicio, totalmente vegano. Interesantes elecciones, me sentí auténtico. ¡Excelente!

Outstanding Indian food at lunchtime today. We had the curry of the day (one a banquet which was well worth the upgrade). Chai tea a further treat. Quick, friendly service, very good value.

Delicious food and such friendly helpful staff

Popped in whilst visiting Newcastle upon Tyne on holiday. Absolutely the BEST Indian food I've ever eaten! My partner and I were like ravenous animals devouring our meals! We had the curry of the day (aubergine and courgette) and samosa chaat with banana lassi. The meal literally could not have been more perfect. If I lived in Newcastle I'd be eating here several times a week!

Food was beautiful and the service matched, some of the best food I’ve had in the city and Camille was an attentive, charismatic host who made sure my dining experience was what it was. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Had the onion bhaji wrap and it was delicious 🤤 Great service, recommend!

Great location in the market. We ordered food and drinks at the counter. They came in good time. Curry was delicious and came with nan bread. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

I love masala chai ,and smosa chat wich is my all time favorite and i always visit staff is very polite and frendly ..

I was walking around Grainger Market before I head back to London after the Great North Run and saw Snackwallah. It is a very authentic Indian cafe with incredible food. I decided upon a Mumbai Sandwich which came with potatoes, cheese, onions, cheese, green chutney, dry garlic, and chilli chutney. As soon as I saw Masala Chai I knew I had to get some! The service was quick and friendly and absolutely love this place. I will definitely be back when I return next year!

Superb chai tea combined with excellent vegetarian Indian food makes this place a must visit!! Great value. 👍👍

Visited this place after years and must say there’s a massive improvement in the food quality. We tried the pakora, Bhel, samosa and the chai. Nothing close to authentic Indian food, but the taste was way better than the last time I tried this (pre Covid). The staff was great. The chai wasn’t any good so will give it a miss on my next visit. The decor was spot on!

All 100% vegan. The food was amazing. Had the samosa plate. All the chutneys were flavourful, and varying levels of spice. The drinks were equally as fantastic. Lassi was mango flavoured with a bit of spice, and incredibly good, couldn't even tell it was vegan. Iced chai latte had the right level of spice and was delicious. The staff were so friendly.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Banquet did 2 of us a nice light lunch, really decent price for a sit in lunch. Mango lassi and Pani Puri both excellent :)

Very friendly, helpful, passionate about their food. Nice place to eat!

I’m in a hurry so I’m just going to say YUM! 😋 now it says I need to say more, hey. Anyway, try something new, food was awesome I was told the pani nimbu was an acquired taste, I thought it was delicious!

Muy rico todo, el que atendía, al notar que no habíamos probado, nos hizo una degustación y explicación de los principales platos.

Vegan heaven. The food is amazing, and it's a lovely place to people-watch in the market.

If you need a Panipuri maker then tell me

On of the finest culinary experiences of my life. Myself and my guest are both very well travelled and both agreed this was magnificent. What we had to eat and drink was amongst the finest we had ever had. Next time something different, we will work our way through the menu. I cannot recommend SnackWallah highly enough.

The food was DELICIOUS, such a good spot for lunch

Food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back Very affordable pricing as well 👍🏻

10 out of 10, Absolutely amazing food !!

So gentle he gave us free food and is so so friendly

We ate here today. I didn't know it was vegan beforehand. The food was amazing. Really flavoursome with just the right amount of spice. Quick service. I would recommend it to anyone.

Stumbled across this place while walking around the market. Great menu options - the 2 types of wrap we had were AMAZING and at around £5 each were incredible value! My wife had their iced chai which was also delicious. Overall a fantastic place, highly recommended

A great find. A tasty curry at a very affordable price. We had the curry of the day with pakora. We'll be back the next we are in Newcastle.

Amazing food and service. I was craving food back from home town in India and snack wallah satisfied it. Thank you so much team snack wallah. Will be back to snack more!

The place is located in a beautiful market hall. Colorful, nice, showing solidarity with Palestine. And bravo for that. But a culinary disappointment. Chai thin, served in a plastic cup. The tortilla is small and bland, the curry of the day is extremely spicy and under-seasoned, without a gram of salt. In short: we didn't like it.

Outstanding! Had a delicious curry banquet and lassi. Very friendly staff and quick service. Absolutely no notes!

Absolutely delicious curry of the day and the bahji wrap was also delicious. Reasonably priced. Never had masala chai before and it was really nice. Would highly recommend....will definitely return.

Beautiful food Defoe worth a visit 😋 #Goodfoodhunter10 on tik tok

Of all the stalls in Grainger Market, this place had come up in several online searches before our visit, so I headed straight there. There weren’t any tables unfortunately over lunch, as it’s clearly very popular, but there wasn’t much of a wait for food to arrive. We shared a curry banquet (curry of the day with daal, samosa, bhajis, chutneys, rice, and naan), plus a masala chai and a bhel puri. This was loads of food for two, and the portion of bhel particularly was generous. I wasn’t actually a fan of the curry (thakkali payaru - black eyed beans, spinach, and tomato), but everything else was really tasty. The chai was well flavoured without being too painfully sweet. I haven’t had coconut chutney in ages either! Well worth a visit. NB pricing on their website was out of date though when we went, I don't know if this has been updated recently or not.

Food is well priced and fantastically flavourful. The drinks are fantastic too. Best value lunch in Newcastle - lunch for £5-£6 and drinks for £2

All together a wonderful and comforting thing. Was offered in with a delicious chai tea. Being apprehensive I asked for a recommendation and I had the pickled pakora wrap and then a lassi to tame the spice. The food and drinks were amazingly tasty and in no way overwhelming in taste. The wrap was so aromatic and the atmosphere was very lively. The staff were nothing but smiles.

Absolutely delicious!! Real Indian Street food Plus fantastic value for money!! We will be back very soon! Highly recommend!

Please don't advertise drinks from 9.30am when we couldn't order a chai till 11.45 am ....

I tried the Curry Banquet for £12, what incredible value for money. The curry of the day was potato and spinach (a favourite of mine). Everything was utterly delicious. The samosas and pakora were served with 3 chutneys, they were glorious. The staff were rushed off their feet but still smiling and friendly.

Lovely chai, was looking for a relaxed place to have a tea and dont know Newcastle now- had not been to the market for yrs and was so happy to see such lovely places to eat- cuban, korean, chinese dumpling, greek, spanish and more- this one stood out- good chai, lovely vibe, friendly people, tried their delicious Indian sweets- yum- will be back for savoury- saw lovely plates at neighbouring tables- lots of different choices and vegan.

Lovely food. I wish there was more seating as it can get busy but they have to make do with the space they have.

Tasty food as always .Amazing carrot halva today

Very nice service, exceptionally well priced for the portion size and quality. Extremely flavoursome food and all vegan which is was actually surprising for how tasty it was

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.

My wife visited a local award winning indian takeaway recently and said she liked the food but the samosa chat at snack wallah was better and is stil her favourite, great food and service with friendly staff , I'd definitely recommend eating here

Simple cheap food, really enjoyable

This is real Indian food. A nice change from the countless restaurants in the Northeast that call themselves Indian when they don’t serve actual Indian food.

Had the curry platter, which was a great way of trying a bit of everything. Loved being able to have a vegan lassi!

Completely authentic street food nice atmosphere.cbest done on a warm day the grainger market can be a bit cold

Hidden gem in Grainger market. Pickle wrap was just <chef’s kiss> a delightful mix of flavours and textures with incredibly fresh ingredients. Really delicious!

Great veggie food with a real buzzy vibe located in the Grainger Street Food Market. The place itself is quite small and there is some seating but we managed to get a seat fairly quickly. It was a warmish day so we went for some of the cold dishes: bhel puri chaat and a side of pakora with various dips. The food was fab and we really enjoyed our visit there. If you have trouble finding it, it's on the corner of Alley 1 - and if you are a lover of Indian vegetarian food, this is a must visit stop.

Very good fresh healthy food so tasty just love this little spot keep up the good work guys

Gorgeous food, lovely staff and love the atmosphere of the granger Market.

Super tasty food. Friendly staff, great service. Very reasonably priced too.

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.

The food is really really good, they are so busy however that they would do well to wipe the tables down now and again. That's my only criticism was dirty tables, but I would go back again.

So, after my office I had visited this place & ordered samosa chat & masala chai on a rainy day as I wanted to have something hot. To my disappointment, samosa chat was cold as ice though the taste was really good. The only reason of giving 2 stars is amazing masala Chai with perfect sweetness & decent taste of cold samosa chat, if hot it would have been such an amazing experience. The staff was good, cleanliness & hygiene was maintained & vibe was as good as street food.

My first experience with them was great. Never regret trying Indian food with them and my friends..

Small eatery in Grainger Market. Good, friendly service. Tried samosa dal and chai. Almost authentic flavours of Indian food.

Really delicious food, I can vouch for the dhal and rice. I will be going back to sample other dishes. Lovely staff too, I can't recommend this place highly enough! Go there and go soon!

By far the best and best value food in Grainger Market. Recently went with a friend who's really fussy about authentic Indian food and he also loved it

Great selection of Indian Vegetarian/Vegan street food.

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.
