Thali Tray in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing place, loved it, food was fantastic, so tasty, dog friendly too, what a find

Thali Tray is a great venue for an evening out. The food is good, as is the drink. The service is fine too - happy, friendly, helpful staff! Apart from that, it's refreshing to find a restaurant in Newcastle that charges sensible prices for a serious amount of good food.

Atmospheres and food quality is very good but very limited options to chose from for sides and mains. Lots of beer options though! :)

As someone that struggles to make choices thali tray is right up my street! Really tasty food! Sounds daft but the bread is incredible. The Currys will not blow your head off, they are on the milder side of medium but they are packed with flavour!

We took our Mother here as it was her birthday and she absolutely loved it, in fact we all did! This place has a great rustic vibe about it, the bar downstairs makes for a great starting point and then upstairs to the restaurant. The food is of a great quality and unique with it's Tray theme. If I could add anything then it would be to have just or two additional options for the mains, otherwise what's on offer was very nice! We'd all definitely visit Thali Tray again.

Amazing food and friendly service

Food was bland. If you're looking for the best Indian food in the north east, try Dilshad.

Great Street food. Really tasty curries served on Thali Tray.

Was absolutely disgusting guaranteed food poisoning

I really didn't enjoy the food. I had the vegetarian Thali tray for £20 which includes a set menu of poppadoms, a main tray and dessert. Although the food was seasoned it was horrible, inedible, mushy (as though it was all blended together) and the taste wasn't right. I didn't enjoy any of the food, even the rice! The food was clearly mass produced and microwaved as it came with a film on top. The chutney with the poppadoms was cold and one seperated as we were eating it. We also got told to leave at 9pm as they were closing, despite their closing time online being 10.30. I definitely wouldn't return. There are much much better Indian restaurants around.

I've been here a few times, not a huge choice but a nice selection and great for veggies or vegans. I would highly recommend.

Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely restaurant - highly recommend!

We visited Thali Tray for our work Christmas do and had a great time. The food was amazing and reasonably priced, and the staff were attentive and knowledgable. Excellent experience and service!

I came here for breakfast on my birthday with my fiancé and it’s one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten! Would 100% recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Great location - we were going to the match Food just that bit different and so good Atmosphere and staff really good

We visited Thali House which is upstairs in the Bealim House in December, we booked a table in advance as our visit was on the same day as a football match so we expected it to be popular/busy which it was !! Our table was ready for us when we got there. Staff were great throughout, not in our faces but available and friendly whenever we needed help with something. There were two menus available, brunch and the full one, we were able to order from either (nothing was - ‘off the menu!’). The food arrived in 15-20 minutes and was excellent, great portion sizes and taste! The atmosphere in the whole place was friendly, warm and welcoming. We will definitely return !!

Seen the viral Indian trays on tiktok and me and my partner were so excited to try that we travelled almost 3 hours to have one together on a little date day we had planned. Table booked for 12:15 on the really easy booking page! We set off from the lakes at 9:30am, travelled and parked the car and got to the restaurant just in time! To be seated and given a ‘brunch menu’ at 12:15, thinking this was a silly, easy mistake we questioned it.. to be told they in-fact were not serving dinner time food until after 4pm because the football was on!!! baring in mind none of this is stated on any booking systems, on any pages, etc.. so mine and my partners start to our day day trip was ruined and we didn’t get to try the viral trays at all. Very very disappointed.

Lovely food. Would recommend a Thali tray or a few small plates as your main. We had a small plate as starter plus a Thali tray and I was stuffed. Great venue for a casual night out with friends. Bar downstairs also handy for pre-dinner / post-dinner drinks.

Amazing curry and the little starters are even better! The staff are all super friendly and the drinks are great.

Just leaving a 5 star review because I saw some wally called Bryan left a 2 star review

Disappointing experience. Restaurant was cold. Food was not exceptional. Service was prompt but possibly too prompt which made us feel pressured. The cost was too high for the quality of food. The concept is nice and really worked in its previous location. Lost its appeal.

We weren't impressed. The food was literally thrown at us 10 mins after we arrived, it was slopped all over the edges of the tray so we had to wipe it so as not to get it on our sleeves. Looks nothing like the food in your website pics. The food was not impressive apart from the nan bread which was fresh and good. The actual curries reminded me of school dinners. Mass produced and overcooked meat. Then we waited 40mins for the trays to be removed and eventually had to go to the bar ourselves to ask for another drink.

It's a really nice place it looks nice inside a really enjoyed the food as like a little bit off everything the panner Maka I was really tasty the puri was perfect the papdoms had a really nice flavour the rice was ok and it's a really good price they also serve alcohol would recomend

Really good venue to eat and drink with friendly efficient service and relaxed atmosphere. Loved the pared back menu and the quality of the food was amazing. Topped off a great visit to a wonderful town. Thank you.

Best Indian food in Newcastle. Black dhal is the best. Good portions . Quick and efficient service. Always 10/10

Pre match brunch, perfect start to a great day (Newcastle won 4-1) Lovely food, great value and good atmosphere. Even went back after the game for post match refreshments. Perfect!!

First time I’d visited since move from Ouseburn. Delighted to see that the food remains really good, as always - naans especially are out of this world. Staff excellent and superb location.

Great spot for trying Indian cuisine. Worth the money. Do try the mango lassi, tastes very good. Great service as well.

Super service and great food as always. Beer kept flowing and the curry and chips were hot and very warming!

Four of us visited on Sunday 26th and got 4 breakfasts, one of them vegan, my first time visiting and it was delicious, great twist on a classic English breakfast. Coffees from central bean were also lovely, staff were amazing. Great breakfast top notch!

Enjoyed a lovely brunch with my husband. Experienced a great twist on a full English breakfast (full Indian). Really enjoy the food especially the Bacon, and enjoyed the lovely Toffee Latte which followed it. Staff were warm and welcoming. Planning a return visit soon.

Saw an online review a few weeks ago and thought a Full English with an Indian twist sounded interesting. We were 5 hungry men who love a good breakfast and this really hit the spot. Excellent food in a clean spacious restaurant with friendly professional...

Great food, good value and a perfect location in the city centre. Looking forward to trying the brunch menu next time.

This was the first time I had been to the new premises in Bealim House and I loved how open and spacious it was. The food, as always, was incredible, and the service was top notch. We will definitely be back.

Booked a table for 12 noon. Booking said table was ours until 1.15pm. On arrival sign on stairs saying brunch to be served in bar. Told to take a seat anywhere. Waited 15 mins till anyone came to give menus, even though place was very...

Great food. The thali is great value. Delicious and so much food I couldn't finish it! The staff were friendly and the restaurant is stylish. The food came really quickly, too!

Amazing curry restaurant with a twist!

This is a hidden gem.in Newcastle. Food is expeceptional. Tasty, great portions. Service was a little slow but can be forgiven by the quality of the food.

I was travelling on my own, and after a good curry in Newcastle. After much back and forth settled on Thali tray, and not dissapointed. Absolutely delicious, spicy excellent food. The jam with the papadoms was a delight and the Rajastani thali was fantastic. Good value and topped off with a delicious 0.0% pale ale.

Early Saturday evening, staff were friendly. The food was amazing! One of the best Indian food we have had. Would definitely recommend and return. Good value for money also

Amazing varied food, great setting, superb service, Definitely recommend and will be back regularly!

Visited their new venue at Bealim House. They have a neat little booking system online. The place was surprisingly empty for a Friday night, but could be just the new venue. I remember the old place always being packed. The food was lovely as always. We tried the pani puri, kesar thali and the rajasthani option. All items were great. Will surely visit again

First time trying Thali Tray the food was amazing & good value for money :-) will definitely be returning!

Had an amazing meal in a lovely old building with a modern feel .Plenty of choice on drinks and food with staff being very knowledgeable on both. Will be back

Great concept for curry lovers with lots of choice. I’ve been before and sadly this experience was below par. Most of the dishes were bland and lacked flavour and the meat portions were stingy. Really really disappointed.

The very best place for fantastic food before what turned out to be an amazing Champions League match at St James’ Park. Food and service were great. Lots of vegetarian options and a special menu for guests with allergies. Will definitely be there again before...

Came here post-match at the weekend. The food here was so tasty, every little section of my tray was delicious! Would definitely recommend to try something different! Feedback for improvement would be cast iron chairs were a little uncomfortable. Think we will get quite bored...

We used to enjoy our visits to the old location, Ouseburn, where the unique experience was being sat around cosy fire pits under the arches. Since then they have moved into the centre of Newcastle. The restaurant is much bigger than before and situated on...

I had a fantastic night out, the meal was good but far from amazing. We started off with poppadoms to get us going, followed by the masala fries. The fries were the highlight of the night in my eyes. Reminded me of being in Amsterdam....

Great allergy menu catering for nut allergy Also very dog friendly 10/10 Staff brilliant as always! Thanks

The food was fantastic and great value for money, our waiter was very friendly and informative. Will definitely return.

Nothing about the food taste is Indian. It's sooo westernised and bad. Everything is premade and not authentic at all. This is the worst place I've tried Indian food in the UK.

Delicious food, great service, good selection of drinks - perfect. The whole family really enjoyed it.

We came from glasgow to visit Newcastle, and we got such great and authentic indian food in UK. We really like there food, most important there behavior and service is really good. Must try there thali its really awesome.

Would 100% recommend if you're a fan of Indian street food. It's was lovely, fresh, tasty and filling.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. The staff were very friendly and helpful, our waitress walked us through the menu and what trays contain what. We really felt looked after! The food came and the presentation was gorgeous, the food looked incredible, having it served on a metal tray almost felt a bit like street food and I loved this. Everything was delicious, so flavourful and a hefty portion! The meat/paneer was cooked beautifully, these guys really know what they're doing! Would definitely recommend and will be back myself!

10/10 for the NFC. Mint food. Mint vibes. Canny class. Went with mint mates. Good and fine. Had Rajastani Curry. So good.

Absolutely bliss. Try their lal mass. This restaurant is in first floor . So just keep a close look and sometimes you may miss to locate

Thursday 7pm Absolutely terrible service Waited over 30 minutes to take our drinks order! Starts came with our mains also!! Food was excellent Service Poor

A blissful place for all Indian. Delectable lal mas thali , chicken tikka..lip smacking items...staffs are amicable...they dont leave any page unturned for palate

Nice and good restaurant, the taste was so nice and similar to india. Paneer was my favourite curry in the menu.

We visited here to sample the culinary delights of Thali Tray and weren`t disappointed. Scrummy food and excellent staff who were so accommodating and absolutely fabulous communicating with our party of 5. We are an autistic user led charity providing social group activities within Newcastle....

Went with a big group of friends and ordered the 15 quid tray. Didn't have any meat in the chicken tray whatsoever and had a tiny bit of meat in the lamb section. Woeful. Everyone else left most of theirs too. Tasted like crap and...

Good ambience... good misic and better service ... No value for money for starters. We ordered pani puri and Rajastani thali . Very different food from what they serve in rajasthan or India... was very dissatisfied with the food . Quality was not as expected....

I tried this restaurant as it was new to me, but whoever knows about authentic Indian taste will never ever go here again. As a vegetarian, I tried Kesar thali, but only paneer & naan were a little edible, but everything else was full of salt. Pakora from kadhi was fully burnt. Kadhi had a dry layer on top, which comes when you keep dal/kadhi open for long. It felt like dishes were already served and kept aside. Rice was quite dry & chewy as well. My child was very excited to try new food but couldn't eat due to loads of salt and lack of real Indian taste. I'm very disappointed...

The food, as always, was delicious but the service disappointing. The food came promptly, but when it came to pay it was difficult to get anyone’s attention and once the bill was there they staff all disappeared. I had to go to the bar and...

Lovely food at a great price.friendly staff and nice background music will definitely be going back.

Went here to sample in restaurant week & have been meaning to go for a while, having never managed to go to the Ouseburn establishment when it was there. The menu was simple enough to negotiate and once the choice made, it was delivered really quickly. The food was of good quality, hot when delivered, and a really good variety. Portions were very ample, and the starter was huge.. too much tbh. Really enjoyed it, but I felt it was a bit "fast food" & cooled quite quickly on the metal tray it was served on. Not totally sold on the idea and personally prefer the traditional "starter, main and sides" delivered one at a time, as I'm getting on a bit and stuck in my ways 😉

We were really looking forward to eating at this restaurant due to the really positive reviews, however we were left slightly disappointed. There were a few positives including the location and ambiance, but unfortunately that is where it ends. Firstly, the Pani Puri. We are...

Great place to eat with a relaxed feel. Food was gorgeous, loved the lamb curry which had such a deep flavour. All staff were friendly and helpful. Really good value and will return

I’ve been to Thali Tray a few times and always look for an excuse to go back. It was my friends first time eating here. They were not disappointed. The food as always was epic. So tasty with a great variety and fab portion sizes....

Third visit to Thali Tray and it didn’t disappoint. We were on restaurant week offer and the two tasters were delicious as were the breads. Highly recommend.

The Masala Fries are just the best , the curry sauce is amazing! We went during restaurant week and couldn't eat everything! Very filling but very tasty

Great relaxed atmosphere, excellent food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food excellent makes a good change from the standard Indian fare. Easy to put your preferred combination together

Brunch is amazing. Two of us had the Full Indian, one the vegan and one the vegetarian. All extremely happy with our choices. Chilled atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend

We had a great dining experience. Everything was spot on . Gluten free options were great for my wife & service from our server Joe was excellent. Can’t wait to return with other family members as soon as we can.

The best brunch I've ever tasted..Great service. The perfect location with a chilled vibe. Thank you

One of the only restaurants in Newcastle that is dog friendly! We were made to feel really welcome and the service was prompt - prices reasonable and food delicious. I would have liked to see more meat / fish curries especially for a Thali Tray...

I want to start by praising our server, Joe. The guy was excellent, our order got lost in the system and his awareness of the room was that he could see we were being missed, checked with the kitchen, came and told us the truth...

What an experience. We visited on a Sunday evening. It is a cool location. We really like the concept of the restaurant along with the trays. The curry was an explosion of flavour. Some of the best curry we have ever had. The naan bread...

Avoid this place if you are looking for authentic indian food. Sicuramente siamo stati attirati dall' aesthetic del tray. Peccato che la qualità del cibo è pessima, naan confezionati...curry che sanno di cibo confezionato del supermercato... tra l'altro ci sono due pezzetti di carne minuscolo ciascuno. Qualità del cibo assolutamente non autentica e non homemade. Molto delusa

The food at this street food inspired spot was absolutely fantastic, with a fun gimmick of being served in traditional style trays as you would see across a lot of the sub-continent. The selection available appears limited but is actually about 6 different styles of...

I love Thali Tray as it's not your typical Indian restaurant with the same old curries. I love the concept of a thali and find it so much easier than ordering separate items so this restaurant is perfect for me! I used to visit regularly when it was based in Ouseburn for breakfast, and only had my first visit to Bealim House for dinner recently. Personally I found their breakfast much better than the Thali I had (one of the curries had a strange flavour that wasn't to my liking), and I'm really glad they've now brought their breakfast options back! Looking forward to going again soon for brunch.

Service, atmosphere, staff, food. All fantastic. The food was great value and filled us up! The thali trays had a great variety in them and the sides like masala fries were fantastic. It's a lovely setting and I'll definitely be back.

Great atmosphere, delicious dishes. The best indian tali in newcastle. Loved it👍👍👍

Excellent atmosphere, food and service. I would highly recommend this place. I love Indian food but this was so different served on a tray.

Fantastic good and a really relaxed environment. Excellent value too. The appetisers are particularly good!

I stopped by Thali Tray for a solo dinner while in town on business. Everything was delicious and piping hot. I loved the Chili cheese naan and the coconut fin was out of this world. Curries were tasty and spicy without burning your face off.

Nice venue, and the food is awesome 😎

We visited on Saturday lunch time for the brunch menu. Got a couple of full Indian breakfasts and a couple of pints. Lovely and tasty would recommend a visit.

This place is genius. It's affordable, great food, great staff. It's just a superb place! I was stuffed 🥙

Lovely Indian style brunch, excellent quality. Venue was upstairs and nice surroundings. Very good service and choice of drinks

Absolutely loved this! Really interesting to learn about the origins of gin and our host had great banter. Perfect amount of gin to taste too!

very nice and great value, think of an Indian version of a full english breakfast, which sounds weird I know. But it was very good.

The food was microwaved and had a horrible film over the top. Service was friendly but the food is definitely overpriced.

The food was amazing as it always is, had the Rajastani thali which was very tasty and a nice kick to it. Added the masala fries as well which are amazing and a frequent pre match meal for myself! I’ve been plenty times now and...

Went for an early dinner before heading to a gig at St Jame's park, this place was a gem, really loved the food, service was excellent and all in all great value for money, would highly recommend

Visited this place in its previous location in Ouseburn so was looking forward to my return trip. The menu is pared down to just 3 choices - 2 vegetarian and 1 meat. Went for the meat option this time. Kind of wish I hadn't. The...

We enjoyed our visit to Thali tray. The food was tasty and great value for money. The menu is easy to choose from and you get a selection of things to try in your individual thali tray. We loved the masala fries side dish which...
