Small eatery in Grainger Market. Good, friendly service. Tried samosa dal and chai. Almost authentic flavours of Indian food.
The SnackWallah Indian restaurant is a gem in the heart of the city. The restaurant's vibrant and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an enjoyable dining experience. The menu offers a range of authentic Indian dishes, from flavorful curries to tasty street food snacks, all bursting with rich spices and flavors. The portions are generous, and the service is prompt and attentive. The restaurant is also well-known for its fantastic selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. With its delicious food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, the SnackWallah Indian restaurant is a must-visit
Great veggie food with a real buzzy vibe located in the Grainger Street Food Market. The place itself is quite small and there is some seating but we managed to get a seat fairly quickly. It was a warmish day so we went for some of the cold dishes: bhel puri chaat and a side of pakora with various dips. The food was fab and we really enjoyed our visit there. If you have trouble finding it, it's on the corner of Alley 1 - and if you are a lover of Indian vegetarian food, this is a must visit stop.
So it’s a tiny cafe kind of spot inside Grainger market. They serve vegan and vegetarian food. The menu is pretty decent. The food is just passable or like it’s very normal. It’s Indian food Indian food usually is very complex but you can make it in a simple way as well. It’s that simplified version of Indian dishes. The portion size is just ok. I tried the curry of the day combo. Which keeps changing everyday - today it was baingan ka bartha ( mashed eggplant with spices ) and a portion of daal ( lentils ) and rice come with a portion of naan as well. One good thing about the food is that it’s not loaded with oil as most of the Indian restaurants here in UK do. More like a home cooked meal. It’s crowded during lunch and there is a bit of wait.
Absolutely sensational!
The food here is fantastic and such good value for money. We had the curry of the day and an onion bhaji wrap for £11!
Authentic street food I would say with that western twist!
Fantastic and such a delight to see them in the Grainger Market still.
Snackwallah is really as it’s name is - the perfect place for a snack in Grainger Market. We went on a Wednesday afternoon, and it was packed - had to wait 5 minutes before we could get a table.
We loved the food here! Indian street food which was quick, delicious and hearty. The masala chai was especially lovely. Portions were not too large, priced appropriately, and really worth it.
In total, our meal ( 2 meal/snacks + masala chai) was about £11. Really worth it!
Nice selection of Indian street food. We loved Pani Puri :) You get crispy shells filled with chutney, chickpeas, yoghurt. Then pour some masala water and eat it in one bite. It is so tasty and fun to eat. Looks very cute too!
Mango lassi was so great too!
Wallah a place to have a Snack!
I’ve been twice before but for some reason never left a review!
Just like it tasted when I travelled Southern India years ago. Authentic and simple with gobsmacking flavour. Never have I tasted Indian food this good in the UK north of London.
Curry Banquet of the Day £10. A spicy Dansak curry (white cabbage, tomato, cumin, garam masala, onion, red chilli and lentils) and rice with naan bread, the best daal in the Toon, 2 pakoras, 2 samosas, green chutney, tamarind chutney and mango chutney. You could have rolled me out the snack shack. Delightful.
Washed down with a good Masala Chai.
Would I recommend? Get there soon
Will I return? I have and I’m on a bungee now, so every time I hit the Toon it’s my go-to place.
Staff are lovely too.
Well done SW
Very nice service, exceptionally well priced for the portion size and quality. Extremely flavoursome food and all vegan which is was actually surprising for how tasty it was
Amazing food, I was so happy I found this gem. Staff really friendly too! Curry of the day is great value. I'm gutted I don't live here as I would become addicted!!
Obsessed with their Pickle Pakora Wrap! Amazing Indian street food packed with so much flavour. Went twice in two days and I can't wait to try the rest of their menu.
Very good value, friendly staff and quick service. Food was served promptly and it was all hot as well as fresh. Cutlery and seating could both have been a bit more user friendly
Wonderful place to stop for small bites or a full meal. Staff are super friendly, dishes are full of flavor, service is quick. The angel Puri and Samosa Daal were fantastic. Highly recommended for a quick stop!
Great pit-stop in centre of Newcastle. Indian Street food and drinks. We had panoramic and bhel puri with chai. All made fresh and very tastey. Loved my masala chai. Will return.
Lovely chai, was looking for a relaxed place to have a tea and dont know Newcastle now- had not been to the market for yrs and was so happy to see such lovely places to eat- cuban, korean, chinese dumpling, greek, spanish and more- this one stood out- good chai, lovely vibe, friendly people, tried their delicious Indian sweets- yum- will be back for savoury- saw lovely plates at neighbouring tables- lots of different choices and vegan.
Authentic Indian taste. Liked it so much. Will definitely come here often
Really tasty, generous portions and quick service. We visited an hour before closing so the naan was a bit dry but otherwise delicious. Apart from the Curry Banquet (£10) we had a pakora wrap (£5) which was also very generous and tasty, though could’ve had more sauce in.
Excellent value for money so would definitely visit again!
Hidden gem in Grainger market. Pickle wrap was just a delightful mix of flavours and textures with incredibly fresh ingredients. Really delicious!
