Solomons in Newcastle upon Tyne

Occasionaly one comes across a place that just oozes sytle and sofistication.

Just got charged £16 for a double shot of Gold label, in their menu it was written £6.75 for double shot of any spirit, when asked they said it’s premium whiskey but they have not mentioned anything nor written anywhere in their menu, food prices are good but the food itself is not good, there’s far more better places than this in the area.

Absolutely gorgeous Indian meal. Staff friendly and helpful.

You going here to get a few bits in Newcastle win the league Cup final and chips and a couple more of 6.30 and burgers are also the morro at the moment but it's a good idea

Spout on! Much better and it has improved a lot. Definitely will buy it again -

Whether it’s a visit to the restaurant or a takeaway, the good served at Solomon’s is always delicious. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent- I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Was recommended here by a friend and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious with a good selection of starters, curries and sides. Prices were very good considering how good the food was. Will definitely be back here again. 10/10.

5 star throughout- Quality service & quality food always

We get delivery's from solomons quite often the food is always nice and Raheem the delivery driver is always on time and very polite and professional a credit to the restaurant.

We order from here regularly the food is always amazing and all the staff are super friendly, great atmosphere. Raheam sorry if I've misspelled your name... our delivery driver tonight was so lovely & friendly. Thank you for the amazing food.

Love the food from here. Raheem delivered well on time, everything there and lovely and warm. Great food and great delivery. Would expect nothing less!

We had a Solomon’s delivered tonight by Raheem. The delivery was so quick and the driver was really friendly and pleasant. We also got our curry made mild for someone in our family who could not tolerate spice and it was the nicest curry she has ever had. The food was so nice. Definitely going to be ordering from Solomon’s more often. I would highly recommend others to do the same. Food and service was just amazing.

We live local to Solomon’s but have always travelled through to Shields for an Indians. We decided to spend my mum’s birthday here as she has been poorly at the moment and didn’t want to travel far. No regrets. Why haven’t we tried this place before?! The atmosphere of the restaurant is 10/10 even down to the lighting. The food was absolutely amazing. I got an onion bhaji starter which was gorgeous! Best I’ve ever had. For my main I had a chicken Ceylon and it was banging. The flavours were amazing. Definitely will be returning more often. The owner gave my mum a free bottle of Prosecco too which made her feel special 🥰 Thank you Solomon’s! ❤️

Great atmosphere inside. Best Indian I’ve had in a long time, will definitely be coming back

First time we’ve used this restaurant and the food was lush we got a delivery the lad who delivered Ricky rang and said he wouldn’t be long witch is a nice touch we also got a complementary bottle of Prosecco absolutely will use this restaurant again

Brilliant takeout food was delicious highly recommended and a big thumbs up for Raheem your a legend 👍

I didn’t like the way manager is taking order from us. Poor service I can say. Sorry but doesn’t like the way u treated us.

10/10 great food good staff as always

Came as a big group of 10, this did not stop the service being great and the food also.

**New updated review** I ordered the chicken tikka main that came with a plain pilau and curry sauce. I requested a madras sauce and it was delivered with madras sauce!! Brilliant. Traditional chicken tikka, it was beautifully spiced and the chicken was very, very tender. The madras sauce was a little sweet, but this could mean they use a higher volume of carrots in their base gravy which is okay, everywhere uses their own base gravy so curries will differ. Plain pilau was beautiful and the salad was very fresh. I'm looking forward to ordering again. Thank you!

First time I've been back since it has reopened, and I can honestly say it's even better if that's even possible!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just had food here tonight, family of 4, amazing food, amazing staff, reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend! 5*

Food was amazing. All the staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. We had an excellent night and will definitely be returning. Best Indian restaurant around, would 100% recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service Excellent environment

Solomons is always perfect for us and is our go to Indian Restaurant. We've been coming for a couple of years now and theres never been an issue. We celebrated a birthday last night and the service was above exemplary (he always is amazing), he made us feel welcome and made the birthday meal feel extra special.

Food was disgusting what we ordered was not what we were served. Will never go back again This is a genuine review

Delicious food and 10/10 service

Always a delightful place to visit!!!! I travel the UK with work and this is definitely the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to!!!!!😋 The staff can’t do enough to accommodate your every need!!!!👍

Where to start, great customer service as you walk in very welcoming. And the food is amazing. After an indian restaurant close by this is your place to go! Reece and Sherkhan can’t thank you enough.

Nice friendly staff and food lovely reece and sherkhan are always smart 👌

Food was good. Spicy as requested. Naans weren't the best though. Service was ok, friendly but often the staff were no where to be seen.

Just had a family meal at Solomons. The food was high quality, with perfect, filling portions served hot. Everyone enjoyed their meal and staff were friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

We had the best night food delicious. staff very accommodating with our vegan guests. Prices reasonable overall a very enjoyable evening first visit but will be going again thank you

Fantastic food and fairly priced. Will definitely visit again and they do takeaways.

Had a fantastic meal at Solomons, staff were great, definitely recommend . The restaurant is magical it really is .

My friend and I go to Solomons every few weeks and we are never disappointed.... suppose thats why we go so often! The food is amazing and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Haven't been for a least 6 years,I believe the restaurant is under new management, couldn't fault it ,absolutely superb food,lovely friendly staff...

Had an incredible night with colleagues this Saturday gone. From the start, plenty of parking. Inside looks sumptuous, with a well manucured country inn meets Indian look. Staff were smart, friendly and inviting. The food was nothing short of amazing. It was brought out hot and in a timely manner. Not bad for serving all 9 of us at the same time. Portion sizes were enough to leave all of us more than a little full. I thoroughly recommend the onion bhajis, I've never tasted better. This was my first time at this little diamond of a restaurant, but it will most definitely not be my last. 10/10.

Just came back from a lovely evening at Solomon's restaurant. It was amazing to see that this restaurant is back on point, back into the hands of the original family. This time, it is the grandson's that have revamped and re-energised the restaurant. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I'd advise you to book as I'm sure word of mouth will soon get around that Solomon's of old is back.

Lovely place been few years since been i will defo be back thanks guys

I went here for my birthday with a big group, 10 of us all together. The service was fantastic and friendly, food came really fast for a big party and they made a massive fuss since it was my birthday. Thank you to the kind staff for my bottle of wine, so unexpected! The food was delicious and I highly recommend! Thank you so much Solomon’s 😄

expensive compared to other places for takeaway

Amzing food lovely staff. Very nicely renovated . Been after a while now specially it is back to the main owners doing at it best.... really enjoyed our friends night out heading to town town now...👌👌👌😋😋😋😋😘😘😘.see you guys next month

Tasty. Took a while on delivery but it’s 20% off if you order direct. The nawabi khana lamb had a good level of spice and a great flavours. They didn’t skimp on the meat either, unlike other places. The naan was big and fluffy.

Absolutely love this place. First trip back tonight since the refurbishment and came in with the boss man (pictured below) and we all love Solomons. Next time we’ll all have the t shirt 😂 the staff are always lush and go out of their way to help us and make us feel welcome. The food is incredible and the place looks insane. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 always recommending to friends and family ❤️

Great experience friendly service lovely food. Will be back

Dropped in tonight with my brother. The restaurant ambience was lovely and the service first class. Absolutely superb food. Strongly recommended if you’re in the area - we’ll be back soon! 10/10.

Recently tastefully refurbished. Been a while since we ate here, but will definitely be back. Food was tasty and piping hot. Nice house wine, music just nicely playing in background without being too loud.

What an absolute disgrace asked for two kebab wraps, plus a main and 1 chips got charged 45.00 plus for my birthday meal. Got two trays of 3 bits of meat for a starter. My husband had no wrap tried to speak to the staff who hung up on me when questions were asked.....STAY AWAY RIP OFF MERCHANTS.....NOT HOW THE RESTAURANT USED TO BE.....

Had a Vindaloo by delivery which was exceptional tasty.

I’ve been going to Solomon’s for years and the food and service are fantastic. Highly recommend !

Ordered takeaway charged restaurant prices food average unfortunately

Great service and excellent food , the staff were brilliant and made all effort for a great night out with friends.

Had a take away from here food was fresh cooked to perfection the food was hot The staff were so friendly and helpful highly recommend

We went with our 12 year old daughter this evening, and the food was delicious. We will be back. We recommend Bora Jinga Sag and Nawabi Kana.

Great refurbishment staff really attentive food the best I have tasted lovely atmosphere

Just visited Solomon’s after the refurbishment and wow. Beautiful decor, great drink selection and food was delicious. Full of flavour well presented. Proper authentic Indian curry. Great service 10/10

Really nice food, friendly staff and decent prices. Car parking on site made for an amazing night.

Amazing meal this evening at Solomon’s restaurant! Beautiful decor, friendly attentive staff and food was first class. Will definitely be back soon! Highly recommended!

Beautiful food, plus friendly and helpful staff

We last visited here 6 years ago before we moved to live in France, we came back to visit family and had to come back here and how lucky we were as this was their first night open after being closed for refurbishment. If it’s possible the food was even better than I remember, the staff and service was exceptional. If like us you used to come here I would recommend coming back, they are open and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Fabulous food with brilliant service. Just re-opened after a short closure to facilitate refurbishment.(Place looks amazing). Highly recommended

Great restaurant. Love going. Anyone know why they’re closed at the minute?been trying to ring for a few weeks now

Have been to Solomons countless times over many, many years. We were back in Newcastle yesterday and went to get an early dinner before a concert at The Sage. Sadly all shut up and deserted despite the website saying it was open from 4 p.m. Made finding another restaurant a bit of a rush in order to get to the concert in time. A great shame if it is the end of the road for Solomons but a note on the website would have been a great help. Rather inclined to look elsewhere next time and not bother with this restaurant.

The meat quality always seems to be top notch and everything tastes amazing! Love this place! Best Indian Restaurant in the West of Newcastle!

Good food, service very very very slow. Side dishes very expensive and not a vast amount served. Wine selection not good.

So expensive now. Some items up by 40% use to Love Solomons. Ordered regularly. Visit regularly spending a lot of money at their restaurant. Ordered a takeaway. 2.5 hours and everything was cold. Took 10mins heating every portion. Completely spoiled our meal. Tried contacting them. No reply. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere from now on.

Lovey food fantastic atmosphere 👌👌

no prawns or lamb tikka available. no draught lager. onion bhaji was nice as was friends chicken tikka starter. My main of lamb pathia was too sickly sweet and a very thin sauce. friends chicken jalfrezi was nice. naans were not brilliant, small thin and very oily

Had a fab meal here on Saturday tea time. Can't fault the food or the service. The interior of the restaurant is also very nice.

A lovely meal as always. Staff very helpful nothing is a problem for them

We have used Solomons for fifteen to twenty years but after our recent experiences of their takeaway meals we are going elsewhere. Over the last couple of years (post lockdown) we have felt that there has been less and less meat in their dishes and the last straw was ordering a meal on 30 June 2023 for ourselves and another couple. The starter (tandoori king prawns) was hugely overpriced for what it was; there was very little meat or fish in the main courses. We were so disappointed that we called in the next afternoon to complain. We were assured by the manager that he would contact his area manager and that he would get in touch with us. We heard nothing so I rang again and spoke to the same manager ten days later. He apologised and told me he would contact the area manager again but that he himself couldn’t offer us a refund or any other compensation. Sadly we have heard nothing since. This is very poor customer service to say the least. We have found in recent years that there has been less and less meat and fish in all of our menus and we have now decided to go elsewhere from now on after this particularly disappointing experience.

Great deco-Food was medium-sorry But service was poor

Lovely restaurant and wonderful staff

Fantastic friendly and beautiful food great service value for money 10 out of 10

Class!! Good food , good people grtz from the Netherlands

Ordered a take away. Waited two hours for delivery. Had to ring up twice, got a cold meal and a warm can of coke.

Solomon's has been my favorite Indian restaurant for over 15 years, and I can't get enough of it! The staff there are always friendly and helpful, and it's no wonder the place is always packed—it's a clear sign of its popularity. Let's talk about the food because that's where Solomon's truly shines. To start, I always go for the bhuna prawn on Puri, and it never disappoints. The blend of spices creates a delightful warmth that adds so much flavor to the dish. And when it comes to the main course, my absolute go-to is the lamb tikka masala with a side of garlic naan. The lamb is perfectly cooked and has this wonderful sweetness to it. And don't even get me started on the garlic naan—it's absolutely divine! It's generously coated in garlic, and if you're like me and love garlic, you'll be in heaven with every bite. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine and haven't tried Solomon's yet, you're seriously missing out. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more, and I highly recommend giving it a shot. You won't be disappointed!

Eaten inside before and food was really good and not at all greasy. Decided to use them as a takeout service and food was excellent. I was a walk in from the street and it took a little time but they offered a free drink after a while. Can't complain at all

Ordered delivery at 9.40, called 10,40 to ask if food on way, phone call ignored even though restaurant open until 11.00, took payment of £30,50 by card and no food

Absolutely superb food and service. Amazing staff and beautiful surroundings highly recommended.

Bear indian restaurant around the west end of newcastle and that is saying something. Despite the long wait for the food

Got put nxt to the stairs as main restaurant to full

Amazing food and very friendly staff

Fantastic takeaway food served on time. Very friendly staff.
