Best indian food near Tyne bridge, tried bhel puri, samosa, kadhai paneer, kofta curry, paneer & cauliflowers all are good...don’t forget to try garlic naan in breads
Home away from home.. authentic Indian food in UK! Went there twice in a week, that's how soulful it is..
The portion size can be more though..
overall, good experience and great staff too
Your craving for good Indian food is about to end :) The place is one of the best places in Newcastle for Bombay style food - They do insanely good food and everything from the drinks to starters to the main course is awesome. Dabbawal is a must visit restaurant guys. Love their vada pav and samosa chat - must try.
We came for dinner tonight and ordered from the early evening menu. Food and service was fantastic, especially the butter chicken which was so tender. Also the chilli chicken fry was great with the perfect spicy level.

Great lunch menu. Food extremely tasty, staff very friendly and made my dad feel special for his birthday. Would highly recommend.
We had dinner at Dabbawal with friends and had a great time there. Both the food and drinks were excellent. We started off with Indian inspired cocktails which were delicious. We decided to have the Chef’s Surprise menu and it was definitely a good choice. We received appetisers, grilled lamb, salmon and chicken starters and a variety of curries with chicken, lamb and seafood, sides of plain and saffron pilau rice and plain and peshwari naan, the latter of which fantastic. Everything was excellent and I would definitely recommend a visit for Indian food lovers
A wonderful restaurant with a great ambience, amazing food, and warm, friendly, attentive service.
I went for my birthday which the staff picked up on immediately, they went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I had a great time.
The food was well portioned and every dish tasted amazing. It was tough to pick from the menu, because everything looked and sounded fantastic!
Thanks to Baba in particular who looked after us, and made our visit extra special.
Will definitely be going back soon, and recommending to others!
The food could have been a little better the Dall was a bit dry the curry was ok was diffrent the got the diffrent nans witch could have also been better the place is nice inside kinda small and tight it's kinda pricey aswell the drink was not as I spected wanted the tahli but wasn't available in the evening but disappointing
The service was wonderful, staff very friendly and the food was nice. We had the Early Evening Menu for £16 which gets you a starter, main and rice or naan (from a selection of few menu items).
We started with the papadoms and chutneys, the mango chutney and mint sauce was the usual, but they also had an Imley chutney, which was different and refreshing. They didn't have the usual papadoms, but three different types, which was pleasant.
I ordered the Chicken Chilli Fry for starters, and it was decent, the main was the Chicken Dansak, which was okay, same as something I get from a takeaway, and the naans were very thin.
The atmosphere was really good and I would recommend people to visit.
Very very nice.
Really quite different from your usual Indian food in a great way.
Unless you are super hungry order a lot less than they recommend. You can always order more.
Very quick for service.
Drinks v expensive.
Lovely decor.

Ein sehr authentisches indisches Restaurant. Man kann hier die Option wählen, ob man ein indisches Tapas oder auch größere Hauptgänge essen möchte. Zudem kann man hier die Beilagen zum Curry frei wählen. Die Curries sind geschmacklich wie man es sich beim Inder vorstellt, mit einer unglaublichen Vielfalt an Gewürzen. Das Fleisch war bis auf ein Curry sehr zart und gut geschmort. In einem Curry war es ein bisschen fester aber nicht weiter schlimm! Wir haben noch einen Naankorb mit einer Auswahl von drei verschieben Broten bestellt. Die normale Variante war hier leider ein bisschen trocken. Dennoch möchte ich hier keinen Stern abziehen, weil der Rest sehr lecker war. Die Variante mit Kokos gibt zu dem Curry einen sehr interessanten Geschmack.

A very authentic Indian restaurant. Here you can choose whether you want to eat an Indian tapas or larger main courses. You can also freely choose the side dishes for the curry. The curries taste like you would imagine an Indian would, with an incredible variety of spices. Except for a curry, the meat was very tender and well braised. In a curry it was a bit firmer but not too bad! We also ordered a naan basket with a selection of three breads. Unfortunately, the normal version was a bit dry here. However, I don't want to deduct a star because the rest was very tasty. The variant with coconut gives the curry a very interesting taste.
For someone who is picky about hot chocolates. Highly recommend the salted caramel hot chocolate from Dabbawal High Bridge. One of the best hot chocolate I have had so far.
Thank you Federico ☕️
The table was set for my birthday and one of the members made sure all our guests were accommodated and food was served in time. And as an added bonus one of the members of staff named Baba, arranged a small cake that I didn't ask for but was a very nice gesture from the restaurant. Overall a memorable experience and would do it again.
First time going today. Amazing food. Relaxing atmosphere. Great service. Highly recommend. Will defo go again.
One of my two favourite Indian restaurants in Newcastle! I've been a couple of times and the food has always been delicious. Great vegetarian options, though I tend to stick to the thali - which is amazing - but I'll definitely be branching out next time I go!
Good venue in a central location, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.
Food was delicious and staff were friendly. One member of staff was a little bit unwelcoming (believe his name was Ranna and supposed to be the manager..?) as he did appear randomly throughout the service to ask if we were going to order with some haste/negativity, while we did have a waiter who was tending to our table already and doing a fabulous job!
Besides that can't knock the restaurant, will visit again!
Really good quality food. Service was spot on. Staff were very fantastic will definitely be back.
What a fantastic meal we had. We opted for the suggested '3 dish tasters' (2 of us, so had 3 tasters each) with additional rice and nan bread. Great portions and what wonderful flavours we experienced. I eat out quite a lot, and this place stood out in my experience.
We are tourists in the Toon and Dabbawal came iup highly in ratings so we booked ahead. Glad we did on a Wednesday night as it was busy. We chose to have our food come all at once but next time would choose to spread it out. We had onion bhajiis nice and spicy. Deep fried okra mega crispy. Loved it! 3 delicious lamb chops, perfection and naan bread. My husband had chicken tikka. Bottles of Cobra. The bill came to £62.00. Well worth it.
