Reviews Raval Indian Brasserie & Bar

Visited on a Wednesday evening and the service was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was very pleasant in a very nice setting just off the Tyne Bridge. There is plenty of parking close by, walking distance to Gateshead Metro Station. Walking distance to other good bars such as mircrobus and central for a drink before or after. Food wise, thick curry’s packed with flavour. Food is piping hot and glass window allows a peak into kitchen to see chefs preparing food. Manager added personal touch during visit which was nice whilst taking parents out.

We went as a family for my birthday. Food was fabulous, great portion size too. We had lots of the small plates as wanted to share and try lots of different things. I had the lobster and mango, gorgeous. The scallops were on a lovely puree base. They were cooked to perfection. Massive battered prawns, also three fish fillets that were so tender they just fell to bits in your mouth. There were 3 flattish sort of onion barjis as a starter, even the rice was lovely. One of the party had the £15.95 special which is served early evening and really enjoyed it. Even the dips are made in house, eaten with poppadoms they were all different, and my favorite was the sweet chilli pineapple. Also I don't like a lot of chilli so they toned it down in my food so it was there to taste but delicate. Not cheap but excellent quality and we will be back. Even the wine wasn't too bad a price. ☺️ Staff and manager very helpful and friendly, great for advice. I think they also do takeout and a couple of delivery drivers called in to collect while we were eating.

Customer service second to none, well played Alam. Very rarely do i feel refreshed by a warm welcoming gentleman to be made to feel in safe hands, not forced hospitality it was in his nature and rolled of the tongue. All food was delicious and freshly made I could taste the flavours bursting out of the food, wait time wasn't bad either. Had a lovely evening with the Mrs and left with full bellies, will return in the near future. Thanks again, James and jade.

Had a Just Eat delivery from here, arrived piping hot in speedy time and with friendly driver. Meal was well packaged and tasted delicious. I got a Garlic Nan which smelled lovely and tasted equally dipped in my Goan Fish Curry, the sauce was amazing and there was plenty of fish in the curry. As for the Manjal Chicken Tikka starter i would say it was really nice, could do with some jazzing up tho, i felt it was just a tasty chicken breast that i would have had with a main meal not a starter. Anyways all in all it was tasty and i would recommend the Goan Fish Curry if you like fish and authentic currys.

Dined as a family whilst visiting our daughter at university. She had previously dined here and loved it and how right she was. We ordered four different curries and all were genuinely delicious. The staff are very courteous and want you to enjoy both the food and experience. We will definitely make this our restaurant of choice when we next visit and recommend to all .
