Zamorins in North Tyneside

Wow! Visited Zamorins a couple of weeks ago, and were thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was lively and service friendly & attentive. The star of the show was the food though, from the home-made pickles, to the interesting and varied menu, everything we ordered was delicious. Would recommend, we'll definitely book again the next time we visit Whitley Bay. Thank you to al the team at Zamorins!

Lovely restaurant with great staff and amazing food - especially the lamb! Recommending it to friends and family and will be back soon :)

I've eaten in and got a takeaway, last takeaway we got was just okay but the real kicker was the kurma which only had 4 bits of chicken in it in the whole tub. Not good value for money

Always amazing food whenever we visit here.

Consistently one of the best Indian restaurants I've visited on my many travels in Britain. Delicious recipes beautifully prepared, with friendly and attentive service.

So good we went two nights in a row

Nice ambience, great food, best service!!!!! Heart and tummy full. Highly recommended😍

Great menu, fab different meat dishes and an exciting vegetarian menu

First time eating at Zamorins. The food and service was excellent. Great portions and fantastic taste. Would definitely eat here again.

We've been regular visitors as a couple and a family for several years now. During that time we have never been disappointed in our dining experience. The food is always excellently prepared and presented by a an efficient and welcoming staff. Nebu the lowner is always out front making sure everything is in order and additionally adds anoher dimension to the relaxing ambience of the restaurant. It was a significant birthday recently and once again they did us proud and much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Went to Zamora’s for the first time last night but will certainly be returning again. The owners/staff were so warm and welcoming, the food was excellent, even the extra chilli for my husband was much appreciated. The atmosphere and decor was delightful making it a wonderful place for a night out with the family.

One of our favourite family meal venues, Zamorins never disappoints

What a place to eat! Excellent food, good menu, reasonable price too, very polite & attentive staff, warm and good atmosphere. Best to book online, we arrived at 6 pm, but no other tables available until after 9 pm. Definitely be back.

staff are lovely and food is delicious.

This is a splendid place to eat. It was so welcoming on a very cold Tuesday night and we were given a good table . The menu was extensive , all different types of food from Kerala . We were helped with our choices and the food was wonderful. Our server was so helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend this restaurant too much. We really enjoyed our meal here.

The best restaurant in Whitley Bay, in my opinion. I've never been disappointed by the food, delicious!

We visited last night as a party of 10 This restaurant did not disappoint beautiful food very interesting menu lovely staff so attentive and really helpful .Stunning decor Great value for top class food I would highly recommend I will be back

Superb food! We had vegetarian options and were really impressed with the quality of the dishes. Top tips - if you order the basic poppadoms, make sure you order the respective chutney etc you like. I can recommend the pineapple one! The only item that was mediocre was the peshwari naan. The cauli 65 starter was epic and the peas and mushroom curry was amazing!

This is an outstanding restaurant. Every dish has such a depth of flavour and authenticity. The team are so attentive and friendly. It’s deservingly busy but the service is uncompromisingly fast and the food is always hot. Having tried a lot of curries, Zamorin’s is definitely one of the North East’s most refined. We have brought our son here since he was 2 weeks old, and yesterday we celebrated his 2nd birthday at Zamorin’s; they really went the extra mile to make the evening special, and our families were so impressed and appreciative.

Came back to Whitley bay so we could try eating in. Had take out 3 months ago have been judging curries against the memory.

We've been here once before for takeaway and previously everything has been perfect, however today was really, really disappointing. My girlfriend picked up the food and as she was waiting one of the men said to the girl by the phone, "what's she doing here?". This seemed pretty rude and made her feel uncomfortable. Then we opened up the food at home and realized we didn't get the Korma that we ordered (pictured). It was a weird tomato dish that tastes like Heinz Tomato Soup. The chips and naan bread were soggy. I got the Nadan Beef Kootan which was also not nice at all. The beef was super tough and dry - wouldn't recommend. All in all, in wasn't worth the £30 we paid! We called and they said they would drop off another Korma however this took around 40 minutes. When we did get the new Korma, it was exactly the same! Some weird Tomato soup dish. I won't be returning.

Southern Indian food, slightly different menu from the usual. Really nice.

Absolutely amazing food - taste & flavours out of this world with plenty of choice. Service is fabulous - servers very polite, professional & attentive. Highly recommend.

We recently had a fantastic evening there with friends and were thoroughly impressed. If you're searching for a truly Kerala-inspired dining experience in Newcastle, look no further. Zamorins offers a menu packed with traditional dishes that are both flavorful and authentic. We were particularly blown away by their Kerala-style beef curry and pork, which were incredibly tender and full of rich spices. We also enjoyed the authentic Kerala porotta. Highly recommend Zamorins to anyone looking for a memorable and delicious dining experience.

Nice ambience and friendly behaviour from the staff. Tasty dishes feel to lick the fingers. Definitely will suggest to friends and family

A truly lovely meal with a great selection of vegetarian food. Staff attentive and polite. Best food I've had for ages and plenty to take home for tomorrow. Will be back.

OMG.. visited this place on Saturday with couples and its outstanding as it always has been ( we have been coming here for over 6 years and its AMAZING) the service... the food everything is out of this world.. please pay this lovely establishment a visit you will not be disappointed..

Delicious food and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely dine in on our next trip!

2nd time I've been here, and it has been 5 star experience both times. Food is impeccable, a real authentic flavour and range of Indian cuisine. Food served fresh and hot. Price is very reasonable for the quality of food. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable/helpful when it comes to food choices. We will be coming back here time and time again, brilliant restaurant.

Fabulous food and service. Seriously I have never had a starter taste soooo nice and my Aubergine curry was just heaven. The girl serving was lovely and the waiters had good humour.

The best curry in the North East. Absolutely beautiful.

When it comes to culinary masterpieces, few dishes can match the allure and satisfaction of a well-prepared lamb curry. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing what can only be described as the pinnacle of this classic dish, and it left an indelible mark on my taste buds. From the moment the dish arrived, its aromatic promise was undeniable. The rich, savory scent of spices wafted through the air, instantly awakening my senses and building anticipation. The presentation was equally inviting: tender chunks of lamb bathed in a vibrant, velvety sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro and accompanied by a side of fluffy pilau rice. The first bite was nothing short of revelatory. The lamb was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth. It was clear that it had been slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat. The curry sauce was a symphony of spices, expertly balanced to create a harmonious blend of heat, sweetness, and earthiness. Each spoonful revealed layers of complexity, with hints of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala dancing together in perfect harmony. What truly set this lamb curry apart was its depth of flavor. The chefs had evidently taken great care in crafting a sauce that was both robust and nuanced. The inclusion of caramelized onions and garlic provided a rich base, while a touch of yogurt added creaminess without overwhelming the spice. A subtle hint of tomato lent a slight tang, cutting through the richness and ensuring each bite was as refreshing as it was indulgent. Paired with the perfectly cooked pilau rice, each mouthful was a delightful journey. The rice absorbed the curry's essence, providing a wonderful textural contrast to the succulent lamb. In conclusion, this lamb curry was an exquisite delight, a true testament to the art of Indian cuisine. It's a dish that beckons you back, promising a dining experience that is both comforting and exhilarating. Whether you are a curry aficionado or a newcomer, this lamb curry is a must-try, offering a flavorful escape that lingers long after the last bite.

This was the nicest Indian food we’ve had in ages! The menu isn’t enormous (which is a recommendation in itself) but there’s a good variety of choices both for veggies and omnivores. The service was excellent too. Definitely going back.

We found this fairly late on in the evening as we were trying to find something to eat. So glad at is was beautiful food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Everything was delicious.

Oh my goodness best Indian food ever . Delicious, fresh flavours. Excellent service by the lovely staff . Highly Recommend.

We discovered this place by accident. It was wonderful. The food is south Indian. All of it was lovely. The service was friendly and all you could ask for really. I could not believe how cheap it was. The food is worth much more. Recommended absolutely

We went on a Saturday night, last minute without a reservation but managed to get a table for 3. As it was an, obviously, busy time it took a while to get service but the food more than made up for that. Absolutely delicious, authentic food. Freshly cooked and very well presented. I would recommend this restaurant to any authentic Indian cuisine lovers. We will definitely return.

Great food and ambience. Brilliant service as well from Jasmin. The food served was authentic and felt like I was back in India.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Really helpful and accommodating staff. I highly recommend Zamorins and plan to come here with the kids next time.

The new menu is excellent, especially the garlic chicken starter. Staff brilliant as usual.

Visited Zamorins with my family and had an outstanding experience. Specialising in Kerala cuisine, the food is authentic and full of rich South Indian flavours. The friendly chef-owners and excellent hospitality from Jasmine and the team made it even better. Highly recommended!

Stunning food. Haven’t had better

Absolutely fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Head and shoulders above nearly every Indian restaurant I’ve been to in the UK. Excellent quality. So glad we’ve found this place!

Actually pretty disappointed. Ordered delivery and was attracted by the good reviews of the food. The food is very expensive so we were expecting the standard to be high. We ordered the Goan Monkfish curry and a chicken curry. While they were ok, nothing to rave about. Just some chunks of meat/fish in a sauce. No vegetables or other textures. No real depth of flavour to either. The monkfish dish was £17! Rice portion is a small tub. It seems overpriced at £3.50. The garlic naan was rubbish. Just a round, tasteless flatbread that I would guess comes to restaurant frozen. I could have bought similar from supermarket. In summary it is overpriced and underwhelming/poor. Gave 5 star for service as estimated delivery was 40 mins and only took 25. 2 stars for food as monkfish itself and chicken were cooked well.

The best vegetarian curry I have ever had .. so flavoursome

Our food was excellent, everything was so well flavoured and tender.

Pleasant and attentive staff made us feel very welcomed. Portion sizes were very good and served at a good pace even though very busy,

A pre show meal and absolutely gorgeous. Meals were amazing in taste, staff were very helpful and polite. First time we’ve tried Zamarins and will 100% be back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We went on a Sunday night which is a quiet night out but we had a great meal and very good service. The food is southern Indian and a little different from traditional Indian restaurants with a greater emphasis on fish. The prices are reasonable and the ambiance is good. Although business in the restaurant was muted they were backwards and forwards with takeaway orders. We will be taking advantage of this service in the future when not eating out.

I telephoned Zamorins to request a takeaway after another establishment let me down. The staff were polite and helpful and went out of their way to provide a fantastic meal late in the evening. I would definitely recommend the outstanding customer service at Zamorins.

Fantastic food… outstanding service We visited this place with friends on Saturday night and was not disappointed.. Visited this place many times over the last few years and would highly recommend if. A superb Indians for Whitley bay 👍👍

We would like to thank all of you at Zamorins for making our daughter’s first birthday very special. We liaised with Nebu beforehand to make arrangements for the party and he was very helpful. Although Nebu was on leave on the party day, he reassured us that things would go to plan and he was right. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We felt very well supported by Biju, Simon, Jaggu and by everyone at Zamorins who helped us throughout the evening with everything required for the party. This included putting up the decorations and cutting the cake. The pretty personalised set menu card that was made for the party and that was laid out under the napkin of every guest was a very lovely touch. All of the guests were attended to throughout by staff and were made to feel welcome. The atmosphere was relaxed, warm and very inviting. Every staff member had a lovely smile on their face and were accommodating with requests. The guests commented on how well organised the event was. We will always remember this evening as a lovely moment in our lives. Thanks very much team Zamorins for everything. We will definitely continue to visit you in the future.

We’ve been here a few times and it is always delicious. They have a large range of vegetarian dishes which we are working our way through. The staff are really friendly and helpful. One day we might leave room for dessert!

Food was excellent and so was the service. The prices were reasonable but I'll say again the quality of the food was excellent. I couldn't fault it. If you are in the area and you like Indian food definitely try here

What a lovely restaurant- so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Great atmosphere would highly recommend. Our favourite place to eat Indian food on the coast.

First visit last Saturday. Fabulous service. Brilliant food. Monkfish curry was fantastic. Was a bit bamboozled by our Peshwari Naans but the explanation from the owner sorted it. Will definitely be back here

We ordered a takeaway from Zamorins and it was absolutely gorgeous! The goats cheese and cranberry samosa and the chicken madrasi were particularly good. We are already planning a trip to eat in at the restaurant. Highly recommend 🌟

This was our first time at this restaurant. We went with friends and had the most amazing experience. One couldn't fault the food, the service, the friendliness & helpfulness of the staff. The prices were reasonable and it was probably one of the best Indian meals we've ever had. The menu was a bit different too. As my husband suffers from some food intolerances the menu helpfully listed what was vegan, gluten free etc. We will be back!

Every time we visit this restaurant the food and service are excellent! The menu offers choices that you don’t see in other restaurants (as well as familiar dishes). The food is always fresh and well presented. You feel like you are eating a ‘special’ meal. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. We arranged to celebrate our son’s 21st here. The venue could not have been better. We were given a large table at the back of the restaurant- this made it feel like a private party. Despite being a large group of 13, all of the food arrived together. It was gorgeous , hot and freshly prepared. Our guests commented on how efficient staff were. It’s great to have a restaurant where you can have a nice celebration or a family ‘tea’ . Thanks to all the staff.

Fantastic food & brilliant service combined to create a wonderful evening at this lovely restaurant in Whitley Bay. All four of the staff who attended us were fantastic & a special mention goes to Rohan whose advice & attention to detail were very welcome. We'll be back soon to explore the appetising menu further.

As other reviews say, the food in this restaurant is just fabulous. Fresh, well presented, tastes delicious, generous portions and very reasonably priced. I can't wait to return.

Came here with my mother for dinner on a Sunday night. It was quite quiet but there were a few other diners so not noticeably lacking in atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the service was efficient. The food was excellent, and very nicely presented. The waitress offered a couple of recommendations though we opted for something else in the end! I am vegetarian so it's lovely to have plenty of options! We had onion bhaji and spicy cauliflower to start, followed by palak paneer and aubergine and lentil curry. They were absolutely delicious, though the portions were definitely too much for us 🥴 Very reasonably priced too! Will definitely be back next time I'm visiting family in Whitley.

I must say this is one of the finest and authentic South Indian restaurant in UK. Everything about the restaurant is top notch. We loved the food- especially the “Kizhi porotta” was just awesome. I can’t remember the last time we were so happy and content. We’ll definitely come back for more.

I've been here three times now the food is excellent and staff are very friendly the cuisine is southern India and tastes different to northern india

Ate there for the first time last night but will definitely go again. Nice decor & clean & tidy. Very attentive, friendly & professional people. Excellent food. We chose three different dishes & each of them were delicious.

Beautiful restaurant warm and inviting lovely surroundings very friendly staff amazing food this Restaurant is a hidden gem waiter Rahul was so friendly and helpful

Amazing experience from start to finish staff were outstanding we had two waiters looking after us Rahul and didn't catch the other young man's name food was Amazing to a Very high Standard

Visited on a Tuesday so not too busy, although we did book. Lovely atmosphere & decor. Super staff & amazing food . Can highly recommended the Lamb Methi ! Definitely will return when back in Whitley Bay.

The food from this restaurant is outstanding, it is presented beautifully and tastes delicious full of flavour. The resultant itself is a lovely place to dine with a nice atmosphere, the staff are very polite friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend a meal at this place you really won’t be disappointed it’s delicious

Still the best Indian restaurant in Whitley Bay, possibly North Tyneside. The South Indian food on the menu is just a little bit different to the bog standard grub in most other Indian restaurants around. And there’s plenty of choice. The food is all beautifully cooked, the service is always excellent and there’s a nice cosy feel to the ambience. It always feels homely and welcoming. Top marks. Thanks again!

Tasty food, good service, a different Indian with a very varied vegetarian choice.

Honestly one of the best curries I have ever had - a spicy lamb saagwana. If you're after great food and friendly service, check out Zamorin's. It is exceptional.

Our first visit to Zamorins & it was an exceptional experience, the food was beautifully cooked & presented, staff were very professional & attentive. We will definitely make a return visit.

Outstanding as always. Booked here for my husbands birthday and fantastic.. from walking through the door.to the service.. food.. the waiters and waitresses the surroundings.. this place is a hidden gem And an asset to southern Indian food in Whitley bay. We came here back in 2019.. 2020 and never returned due to covid and I will defo not leave it as long the last time.. 5/5 all around 👌👌

We atleast go once in a month and this is the place where we get our original indian tastes .... everything is really nice here ... I would like to give 5 stars 🌟 always

Top notch vegan food. We have longed for decent Indian fayre and have finally found it. Absolutely delicious and you get a discount when you order a collection. When I went to collect I noticed the restaurant was almost full - I see why!

We had the sharing platter to start which is superb, everything cooked to perfection , then had the beef pirilan with coconut rice ,masala fries and chapatis with a side order of peas panneer , we shared this between us and it was fantastic so many flavours of southern India. many thanks to all the wonderful staff at zamorins

My friend and I took another friend out to celebrate her birthday. We didn’t tell her where we were taking her so it was a surprise for her. She was delighted with our choice of venue. We were greeted warmly on arrival. The place was warm and beautifully clean, with lovely white tablecloths and napkins. The meal we chose was absolutely delicious. I would recommend the buttered chicken to anyone who doesn’t care for hot, spicy food. It was rich in flavour but otherwise mild. I loved it. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and can’t wait to go back again taking their husbands next time.

Ordered takeaway tonight from here for the first time and just wanted to say a big thank you! Really appreciated the vegetarian options offered, a nice mix of different possibilities with various proteins rather than just a curry without the meat. The food came really quickly and the delivery driver was very polite. I went for the palak paneer and it was super tasty! Luscious and creamy (but not sickly) with a deep multi layered flavour and big chunks of delicious paneer. The cauliflower starter was also so yummy with lots of different spices and perfectly cooked. Not as big portions as other places but there's usually far too much food so this was spot on for me. Fantastic food, great service, good value - can't wait to try out the rest of the menu!

The quality of the food has dropped. When is a naan not a naan? It was not fresh at all. Neither was the pilau rice. The curry portions have also shrunk in size. The highlight was just the popadom for starters. All in all, it was a bitterly disappointing experience compared to previous visits to this South Indian restaurant.

Fantastic food - lovely staff and was my first visit - I'll be back

Zamorins was welcoming as we went in, courteous and friendly. The ambience was warm and clean with immaculate table linen and settings. The meal was excellent: fresh and hot with professional presentation - delicious and generous portions.

A menu that was a bit different. Perfect, attentive service. Fantastic food. Highly recommended. We loved it! After a holiday in India, it reminded us of our favourite part: the south.

Fabulous food fantastic customer service thank you so much we loved it alongside the generous amount of chocolates you gave us when leaving . Thank you again x

Best Indian Restaurant in Whitleybay. Lovely atmosphere. staff was exceptional and top class service. The best Indian food i have had in a while. Highly recommended.

Just enjoyed my first takeaway from Zamorins and it was exceptional. Couldn't recommend more. The best Indian food I've had in the region.

Best Indian Restaurant in Whitleybay. The service was amazing, the serving staff were very sincere and polite. Hands down the best indian food I have had in a while.

This was the least professional Indian restaurant and staff we have visited. No friendly communication at all with no atmosphere. We have visited several others in Whitley Bay with lower ratings and found them far better in every way.

The food was very tasty. And the staffs and management was very helpful and energetic.

Great family meal. Warm welcome, attentive service and the best Indian food in Whitley Bay. It couldn’t be faulted and our daughters father in law, visiting from France, declared it the best Indian food he’d ever tasted. Wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend.

Have visited here a few times recently - staff always friendly and welcoming. Started with some popadoms and pickles including there home made hot lemon pickle. Delicious. I had a chicken madrasi main, my wife chicken with spinach and lentils and our friend from Oz, a beef curry with coconut. All good, this is a gem of a restaurant with a little different twist on the menus being South Indian. Look forward to our next visit.

Really good food with interesting options. The fish pickle was incredible!

Ordered a takeaway - with a pleasant 20% off. Good start. I've been before 'in person' so had high hopes. However I was disappointed. The started (samosa) was all chopped up and quite dry. Would have preferred a full samosa. In the restaurant fresh this probably works, but not for takeaway - makes the pastry soggy. The main was fine. Not amazing, but fine. The naan however was poor. More like a paratha.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zamorins, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! If you're a fan of South Indian cuisine, you're in for a treat. The moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance,creating a delightful atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the food! Every dish I ordered was an explosion of flavors.The authenticity and quality of the South Indian cuisine served here definitely surpassed my expectations. However, it wasn't just the food that impressed me. The service was impeccable. The staff at Zamorins were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their promptness and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the mea

The food at Zamorins is always beautifully spiced. I default to the biryani, which has a wonderful hint of warmth, melt in the mouth lamb and wonderful spicing. Great food and service.

Zamorins is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Newcastle! The hospitality is unmatched, with staff providing a warm and exceptional service from the moment you enter. Every dish was delicious, but the Goan monk fish curry and Chuttulli fish on kallappam were exceptional, each impeccably seasoned and cooked to perfection. Moreover, every dish was a visual delight, reflecting the vibrant and sophisticated flavors of authentic Indian cuisine. For anyone in Newcastle seeking a genuine and exquisite Indian dining experience, a visit to Zamorins is a must!

It is an Indian restaurant with real Indian food, very tasty. Formal table sitting and service. The waitress served the dishes with pleasure and a big smile. The restaurant is big and has so many tables. Luckily it wasn't full and we had our food quite quickly and hot. We are very happy to discover this little gem in Whitley Bay.

Great night staff are polite and professional and very welcoming, very clean throughout with good facilities and plenty of places to sit. The menu is not over complicated with plenty of choice. The food is excellent fresh and full of flavor, the staff are very accommodating as asked for extra spice and it was delicious not overpowering with lots of flavor, Good choice of drinks too and all reasonably priced. I'll definitely be going back and I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food and service at this wonderful Whitley Bay restaurant. Everything was amazing, thank you to all the team, we will be coming back soon.

Our favourite Indian restaurant, clean and comfortable, always lovely welcome from Nebu , all staff friendly providing excellent service. Food is amazing, and just a bit different from the other Indian restaurants in Whitley. Love the paneer starter, and definitely recommend lamb staff curry , actually we have pretty much had every thing on the menu and it’s all fabulous. If you haven’t been you should definitely give yourself a treat. Quality excellent and reasonably priced.
