The best restaurants in North East

Always such an amazing experience, service was brilliant, amazing food. Always a great experience when we come. Thank you @Simla staff.

Amazing atmosphere the owner really goes above and beyond I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here . Really friendly service and food was outstanding . The best lobster I’ve ever had and they even gave me extra !!! Cheap aswell really recommend !

We called in at the Rocking Horse cafe for tea and cake with our new little border collie pup. We spent an hour or so chatting with Andrew the owner and he gave us some really good advice on canine behaviour and very useful training tips. The cafe is very welcoming, food is amazing and it’s great that dogs are so welcome and even get to play with the two resident collies in the large secure garden. I would highly recommend a visit for both food and help with dog training and agility skills

Just had to write one final review of this excellent restaurant which is now sadly closed. We were lucky enough to have our second (and now, final) chance to try their tasting menu, and every dish was a delight. Looking forward to seeing whether there will be a new place with Michelin stars to try soon!

2 main meals (massaman curry and crispy pork in tamarind sauce) starter (moo ping) and salt and pepper chips cost £42 and with all the previous reviews I was expecting something amazing but in honesty it really wasn't great. Massaman was lacking in taste, and the sauce was grainy. The pork was cooked very well but not crispy at all, and the chips weren't cooked. Overall, disappointing and the portion size for the cost was very small

We have been coming here for quite a while now and the food is never anything less than superb, Saji’s gets a taste and flavour no other Indian Restaurant can manage , anywhere ! They don’t serve alcohol although allow you to take your own, and supply glasses and make no charge for this, the staff are always pleasant and the service excellent, we travel from Durham regularly to eat here and will continue to do so, were addicted!!

I treated my friend for her birthday to tea here. Absolutely amazing, delicious home made cakes, scones and sandwiches. The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming and well worth a return visit.

The best meal I've had out in ages. I had chicken crema, it was delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff were attentive and very polite. It was also very reasonably priced. Everything was faultless and I'm looking forward to going back. I would definitely recommend it.

Splendid! Excellent food and lovely company. We all enjoyed our whole lunchtime. I would recommend the carbonara especially.

Lovely food. Couldn't fault it. The kipper sandwich was lush. Fresh food cooked to order. Owner very friendly Highly recommend.

Excellent 👌. Prawn puri starter was amazing. Delicious tikka main and spicy veg side dish. Really good, fast service and friendly staff. Thanks

When we come here on holiday (we live in Spain) we always have a meal here, it’s one of our favourites. However something tonight was seriously wrong. The waiter had an air of complete “I don’t care” as he informed us that there was one pie left, no mash and no special left of marry me chicken. OK, we dealt with that and ordered 2 scampi’s the last pie and 1 lasagne. The scampi was dark brown served with chips and had no small amount of garnish to cover up the unappetising plate. The other plates also lacked the usual presentation. Such a shame as my mum who is a pensioner treated us and we felt really bad for her. Won’t return.

Amazing cake , sones and freak shake . All the food coming out was big potions and everyone eating looked really happy . I'll be visiting again

Couldn’t fault anything, amazing with all tables, patient and professional, highly recommend. Food was outstanding and the bill even better!! For a busy Saturday night the 2 lasses working were amazing, even handled a rather tipsy customer with nothing but respect without disturbing any other diners. We will be back.

We read reviews before going to Alnwick and restaurant sounded fab .. sadly Restaurant doing take away at present.so didnt sit in ..however it was honestly OUTSTANDING. NEVER tasted thai food so fresh it was my 50th and quite honestly it made my day....we got a takeaway and it was a meal we will never forget .This is a message to ANYONE who lives in or near Alnwick. If you want fresh... exceptional authentic tasting thai food packed with flavour and like to spend ure meals going..nom..nom..nom....out loud...this is the place for YOU.
