SnackWallah — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Visited SnackWallah while roaming in Newcastle. We reached just as they were about to close for the day. Initially we opted just for a masala chai, but looking at the menu were tempted to try the Samosa Chaat. We got talking to the owner about the story behind SnackWallah. We were offered some lassi, curry and dal on the house to try. I must say, the food was excellent. The chaat was very close to what you might find on the streets of Mumbai and the curries were extremely flavourful, just like authentic Indian home made food. All ingredients were freshly prepared and you could tell the difference in taste. The price was reasonable and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. It's a shame we reached so late and couldn't try the dahi toast. Reading about this place on the Internet, I was impressed by the sustainable nature of the business as well as their other initiatives to support the local businesses and their ethical stance on employee benefits. I would highly recommend this place, whether you want a taste of authentic Indian Street food, or are just looking for an excellent vegetarian...

One of the most heart warming places to grab a bite in Newcastle. Tucked in the grainger market, this is a popular choice for locals and tourists.

Food: With every visit, I find that the food only gets better each time. It took me a while to realise that everything on the menu is vegan. It is surprising how they've managed to serve great chai with vegan milk. They use whole spices in their food. This brings out the authenticity of the dishes. I had the curry banquet today. It was a well priced experience overall. I love the fact they have a rotating menu for curry of the day. Do lookout for specials over the weekend. I have had vada pavs and dosas in the past.

Service: The staff is extremely friendly. The speed is quick. It is lovely to see the food served in stainless steel utensils. I think that was the cherry on the top for my experience.

Atmosphere: The place was clean and spotless. It is a beautiful place with decorative tokens just to remind me of home.

Thank you for the wonderful experience. It is great to have such a place to go to in Newcastle...

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...
