Valley Indian Restaurant in North Tyneside

Came here last night (25.04.25) for my boyfriends birthday on the Curry Train. From start to finish it was fantastic. Lovely attentive staff & great food! Thank you all :)! Will definitely be returning for my birthday in June.

Our annual visit from Merseyside to The Valley. The venue of our first date 30 years ago! We’ve seen lots of changes some good some not so good but we keep returning! Last nights meal was excellent. The whole experience was special. See you in 2026!

Outstanding food, friendly and efficient staff, lovely ambience. My husband likes a lot of chilli and I like very little, but we are both able to easily choose something that we find delicious. Absolutely our favourite local restaurant, we’d go far more often if it was a bit closer! Can’t believe the poor reviews on here, for us it’s been five star every time we’ve been.

Travelled from Newcastle by train to Corbridge for the day, ended the evening with a meal. We didn’t have a prior booking but were served drinks, ordered our food and taken to a table! The food was outstanding, but the star of the show was the gong, which is hit 5 minutes prior to the train back into Newcastle arriving!! There is even a side door which leads directly onto the train platform!! Perfect place for a date but genuinely impressed by the authentic food and friendly service

Awful! Extremely expensive and dreadful food! They forgot several items on our order and the onion bhajis were dry, the curries were average and it was probably the worst Indian meal we have ever had! The duck was tough and inedible! Needless to say, we would recommend you avoid eating here!

The bad reviews on here seem to be historical, not recent. We had possibly the best curry and best service ever. For a 60th birthday treat we booked a night in Newcastle and took the curry train. It's something out of the ordinary, a bit of fun. We were met by lovely polite staff. After pre dinner drinks we were shown to our table where the starters arrived immediately. The restaurant was busy (midweek) and had good atmosphere. Service was very attentive at every table. The chicken tikka was easily the best I have tasted. Larger pieces of chicken than normal but because of that it was juicy and tender. Amazing king prawns too - huge and cooked to perfection. After a surprise birthday dessert brought out by the staff we were advised that the return train had been cancelled! Amazingly, the owner insisted that his son drive us all the way back to Newcastle and absolutely wouldn't accept any payment! Excellent food with superb service. We will be back, and will use the curry train again.

My fiance and I went to this wonderful place on Saturday 12.10.24. We were met under the big clock at central station by two lovely guys who talked us through the menu and took our orders and drinks order for the train. They then took us to the platform and served our drinks on the train. We arrived at the restaurant and sat for drinks for a few moments and then were taken to our table. Every dish was delicious and the service was second to non, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent value for money. This experience is an absolute must! We will be back! The only thing I can say that could improve the overall experience and it is a small thing and was also mentioned by some other patrons; if maybe the guys whom meet us at the station to be dressed a bit more traditional,more regalia. Don't get me wrong they were smart, I just think it would enhance the experience even more.

Food ? Outstanding . Staff ? Outstanding . Service ? Outstanding . Venue ? Outstanding . Value ? Outstanding . The passage to India train experience? Outstanding.

Everything about my experience was wonderful. The restaurant itself is opulent and gorgeous. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. Our daughter and son in law took us to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary and they couldn’t have made a better choice of venue. They bought the curry train package. We were met at the railway station ( under the clock….) and made our choice from the menu. We then went to Corbridge by train. We had a terrific meal with a great selection of rice/sides/ naans and poppadums. We each chose a starter and main course. My lamb was beautifully tender and flavourful. We finished our meal with a selection of desserts- and a surprise dessert complete with sparkler. I heartily recommend The Valley. It was an exceptional experience. It

We absolutely love this restaurant and visit every year whilst on our holidays. Staff are attentive and friendly, the food is first class. It's been a really special experience each time. We plan to do the curry train trip in the future!

Dinner on 25 June. Large menu with some unusual specialities. Attentive and speedy service. Appropriate decor and ambience. Well patronised. Bradford is the curry capital. Compares with their best!

Even though we ate at an early time ( by choice) the atmosphere was good. The food is always great here and this is why we keep returning The staff are very polite and professional and the service is very good. The novelty of being part of a working station platform never loses it charm

I haven't been in a while and really enjoyed coming back. Great choice and service was prompt. The food was superb and I had a great range to choose from.

Had dinner with a friend and were treated to an excellent meal. Excwllwnt menu with lots of variety inc some classic dishes. Quality of the food was excellent. Also the wine list was very good with some good selections.

We arrived at 8. 15pm but our reservation was 8.30pm. We were asked to take a seat in reception at 8.30pm after a gentleman in a navy blue pinstriped suit asked us if we had a reservation. After that we were left for 20 mins before he asked us if we would. Like a drink which we requested a bottle of white one. Then we were left until 9.40pm when I noticed others who had followed us in much later were being asked for their orders for food. I then asked the gent wit the pinstripe suit when our table would be ready, he said he thought we were enjoying our drink and he was sorry he would’ve 30 seconds but I went to the bathroom on returning he my husband was still waiting and others if 6 or more were being given menu,s l. I again asked and he apologised saying i thought you were enjoying your drink, which is very patronising considering we had now being sitting an hour and a half and there were lots of tables spare. I have never had such poor service ever. Food was fine but it doesn’t make up for the lack of service and respect. If it wasn’t for the fact we were there for our 31st wedding anniversary we would have walked out but we were staying in Corbridge and had no other facility for food. I will never ever eat there again this spoilt our hole experience and celebration weekend. I have never been treated so badly ever.

Avoid takeaways from here, we ordered our food and were given a slot of 1745 for collection we arrived at 1745 and were told two minutes. We ended up waiting 20 minutes in total surrounded by drunks who had clearly been out all day. We asked where our food was and were told two minutes. When the food arrived we were handed the box from the manager with an apology, as we walked down the street he ran out with a missed rice and apologised again. When we got home we opened the box and found another rice was missing. They didn't really care when we called back and we are awaiting a refund for the rice. The food was very greasy, the naans were undercooked and poppadoms were stale. I won't be going back.

Over rated. Went on a Friday night with a family of 12, so wasn't unrealistic in expectations, however, still left disappointed. For a relatively expensive restaurant I though the service was really poor (20 mins just for drinks, 1hr plus before the starters arrived). Starters were good quality, mains mediocre. Don't mind paying decent amount but expect the standards to be better. Not a disaster, but far from what I expected, particularly in light of the other reviews.

This is the most amazing restaurant ever! Food is amazing and service is excellent! This is so good that I come here nearly every week!!! Love it!

Possibly our favourite Indian restaurant in the country, the setting is sublime and the curry train concept unique. The menu is extremely original and the beef dishes we've sampled the best we've ever had. Fabulous setting with every detail thought through. The service is beyond compare and staff so diligent and professional. Always a magical night out and we visit often.

Amazing 7 course meal The Valley Corbridge, service was fabulous, food was amazing, great atmosphere, definitely go if you want a great meal.

Many years since doing the curry train but very impressed , you can go on train from Newcastle organised by restaurant complete with cobra or Prosecco while on way and they take your order so it is ready on arrival but don’t be fooled the restaurant is first class , high quality fine dining indian with great service , a fairly large restaurant was full which reflects the quality , highly recommended

Expectations were raised by friends and colleagues ahead of my visit. On arrival building, setting, decor all very nice. Unfortunately the rest was underwhelming. Extensive menu but I struggled to identify what I wanted for main. Descriptions of the specials on the menu could have been better. I asked for a recommendation and they said go for a ‘classic’ dish like patia or madras which I thought was strange. Keema nan was good (although doughy and not hot), main dish was good. Kebab starter a little cold and bland but good. It was all just good but not ‘very’ good. I much prefer Zyka in Hexham which I gave 5 star.

I was bought the curry train experience as a Christmas present and it didn’t disappoint. Staff meeting us at the station were very attentive and friendly - food was delicious and loads of different options to try. Restaurant had a great atmosphere, excellent service - would definitely go again!

I attended here with my wife and eight-year-old son as part of her birthday present. Curry train experience. I will comment mainly on the restaurant but the whole curry tree and experience was really fun overall. You arrive at the restaurant which is essentially built into the station at Corbridge. The restaurant itself is really cosy with a roaring fireplace and really attentive professional waiters. The food was absolutely exceptional. From the starters mains and deserts we were incredibly impressed. The portion sizes were really generous and overall the price was really reasonable. The staff were super attentive and friendly throughout. They made us feel right at home. After the meal we were worrying about getting across to the platform edge assuming we would take the same route that we took when initially arriving. With only a couple of minutes to go until the train was due the restaurant door opened and we were there literally on the platform. It was so funny and a bit of magical experience overall We will definitely do this again.

Drink on train journey was embarrassing. Restaurant decoration and ambience was fabulous. Food was cooked well and service was attentive. What spoilt it was the exorbitant price of the beverages - left a very bad after taste and I won’t be back.

Tried to book over the telephone, female staff member was incredibly rude, not a great way to win business.

We set off from Newcastle central station on the curry train experience. We were escorted onto the train and our drinks were served and very soon we arrived in Corbridge. The staff are very attentive and the food was outstanding.

Passage to India is an innovative idea and a fun experience, which we chose instead of buying presents for each other at Christmas. We were met at Newcastle station and accompanied to the restaurant, which is stylish and comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing and came with everything we could wish for, staff very attentive and happy, and overall an excellent evening before catching the train back to Newcastle. Thank you The Valley.

Beautiful night out here at The Valley. We found the food superb on this visit and the service so much more friendly than a few months ago. The front of house staff were different this time, much more smiley than previous. This certainly was needed...

Best curry in the Tyne Valley. We are regulars here to the extent that we have to limit our visits so that it isn't embarrassing. It's an old-fashioned proper curry house but in a lovely setting. The staff are attentive and all is done correctly....

Excellent food, exceptional 10 out 10...staff were amazing....immaculately clean.....highly recommended going an we will definitely be back.....thank you for a wonderful evening

Excellent meal, one of the best I’ve had. The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommended if you’re visiting Corbridge or the surrounding areas.

The food is great, the staff are so efficient and friendly. Beautiful building and great atmosphere. I particularly like the bar area where you can sit and relax, have a drink and mull over the menu before going upstairs to your table. My 2nd visit...

Unbelievable meal was cert attentive and tasty I had the biggest prawns I have ever seen On time from Newcastle and free shot at the end of the night

We booked the curry train for my wife's 29th birthday, we met the two Indian gentlemen under the big clock at Central station, they were so friendly & made the experience brilliant, we boarded the train & they were serving wine & cobra, & asked what kind of curry we liked, they put the whole dish together for us while we sat back & enjoyed the countryside view from train with a nice cold beer! When we arrived at the station we were led down to entrance of restaurant it was absoulte beautiful bar at the front with a open log fire place, were u can have a drink whilst u wait to be seated! The food is off the planet at this place the best Indians we've ever had, gorgeous homemade cooking, and loads of it! And when you're finished just pop down & sit next to open log fire & chill out! Very romantic very well priced!

Me and three friends were a tad dissapointed with the whole experience although we could not fault the food or service. We were met by three waiters dressed in traditional Indian dress with overcoats on top ( no headress which we thought would of made...

Was really looking forward to going on the curry train but found the whole thing a bit underwhelming, we had to wait for half an hour at central station and then the train was really full and rowdy. The restaurant was so busy and full...

Dined as part of a group of six. No major complaints however none of us were particularly blown away either. Quite pricey and even more expensive if you don't watch your bill. We had £30 of drinks mistakenly added to our bill which needed rectifying.

They really look after you here, they greet you like an old friend and are there to cater to your every whim. The food was fantastic and It felt like we were dining in a five star hotel. I 100% recommend this place.

Personally met at the station and looked after constantly! The staff couldn't do enough for us. The food was outstanding! The price was perfect. The venue itself was beautiful and it was perfect for our romantic night out. We just need an event to give...

Quite a terrible experience from start to finish. The 'Curry Train' is nothing more than getting on a standard train going to Carlisle - nothing special or different about it what so ever. Drinks were brought on-board by the guys who met us at the...

Staff at The Valley excellent, they managed to fit us in on a busy Friday evening, food 5 star, the best Indian in the NorthEast,

Love this place. Service, choice, food and ambience is first class. Would recommend being adventurous and trying something new. I've never been disappointed. I always leave feeling well fed but never bloated!!!!

The restaurant was fairly busy for a mid week evening. Service was considerate and prompt. The tables had spotless white cloths. The food was a mixture of traditional Bangladish cuisine and the more usual Indian restaurant fayre. Our meal was good and we had a...

For my sons 16 birthday we booked the valley - lovely setting, excellent service and food was very good. I could not fault

We got the 'curry train' service from Newcastle to Corbridge as a 30th birthday treat for my partner. Had a little delay in Newcastle but not long. Drinks were served on the train. On arrival we entered the restaurant lounge which was a little snug...

Very average in all departments.if your party is large and over a certain amount of people beware!. you are given a 'set' menu with no price reduction for being given no choice whatsoever.party of 4 could order anything on the menu!! !(WASNT INFORMED OF THIS UNTIL ON THE COMMUTER TRAIN/CURRY TRAIN?.BLAND GARISH COLOURED BOWLS OF KORMA ETC(YAWN!) THEN CHARGED NEARLY £40 A HEAD FOR THE PRIVELEDGE.VASTLY OVERPRICED SORRY

Feels a bit tired overall and the food was only average. Not as good as we expected from the way they promote it. Wouldn't go again.

my party of 4 went to valley (nicknamed)the carriage near civic centre newcastle . food was really nice price ok and resturant clean

Like most of the Indian restaurants in Newcastle this is nothing special. A nice novelty sitting in a train carriage in Jesmond but that's where it ends.
