The best restaurants in Town Newcastle-under-Lyme West Midlands

A neat little find! The staff are welcoming and the music is great. This was hands down the best find in Newcastle. Great selection on Tap!

On a Friday night the DJ's music is far too loud for the venue. Can't hear yourself talk.

**Fantastic Food and Warm Service, with Some Late-Night Challenges** Basmati Restaurant offers a truly enjoyable dining experience, with incredible food and a staff that goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service is consistently warm and attentive, adding to the overall charm of the place. The menu boasts a great selection of well-prepared dishes, full of flavor and authenticity, making it a standout spot for quality dining. Whether you're indulging in a classic favorite or trying something new, the food rarely disappoints. That said, the relatively small place settings can feel a bit restrictive, particularly during busy periods. Additionally, due to the restaurant’s proximity to the town centre nightlife, the atmosphere can shift as the night progresses, occasionally becoming a bit rowdy. While this may not be an issue for all diners, those seeking a quieter experience might prefer an earlier visit. Overall, Basmati excels where it truly matters—exceptional food and stellar service. A great choice for a delicious meal, with just a bit of consideration for timing depending on the experience you're looking for.

There is much to be said about this establishment. As frequent visitors, we continue to be impressed by the consistent quality and care delivered by this family-run business. The food is always fresh and prepared to order, which may involve a brief wait—but such is to be expected when excellence is the standard. In a community with few establishments of this nature, it is vital that we support independent businesses led by dedicated and passionate owners. Genuine hospitality, authentic passion—and even if there is a delay, the experience is invariably worth the wait.

Quick drink with friends on a Saturday night. Place was full of PE teachers!!

Great value place to stay. Julie was very accommodating when we arrived and explained our stay to us. Very nice room and only a 20 minute walk into town. Would highly recommend.

Very nice real ale and food. Good atmosphere.

Lovely bottomless brunch - Riley kept us Topped up with lots of lovely cocktails- well worth the money. Great service!!!

My third visit. Top quality food with a friendly service. I like to go there as they are happy to tailor the food to they way I like the food. Decent food portions. I'll definitely keep coming back as long as they keep up to the same quality of food and service.

Charlotte gave brilliant service!!

Couldn’t be arsed to deliver an order to me because it was literally just over £1 under their delivery limit (FYI I’m disabled and live literally 50m away 🙄 to follow on from the reply!! I did say I was disabled and still wouldn’t deliver because of the minimum order cost !!!!!

A group of friends went and we had the best time! The staff couldn't do more for us and were so lovely. We went for the bottomless brunch with a Sunday roast and the roast was to die for. Absolutely brilliant.

We visited for a Valentines Night meal and had a great experience. Staff very friendly and provide excellent service, the food is first class with great presentation and the venue itself is clean and tidy with the restaurant being spacious. We will certainly be returning

So delicious! Went in for brunch/late breakfast, we had double bacon,sausage&egg oatcakes. Cooked perfectly! My only downpoint is the seating area could of done with a mop of the floor. Returning very soon! A bonus point for the free chocolate pikelets!x

Delicious food, great service, and atmosphere was relaxing, the staff were incredibly nice and converse, overall 10/10
