Perfectly crisp pappads paired with a vibrant selection of homemade chutneys. Really good. Nice way to ease into a good meal. We started with Nadia Chicken Pakora (gae) Tantalizing chicken morsels in a spicy batter, complemented by mint yogurt. Pretty tasty. A little heat but just right. Bihari Chicken Jalfrezi, Spiced chicken tikka with onions and caosicums. infused with ginger, cumin and coriander. So good! Incredible smells and flavors. Such good food and incredibly reasonable prices. I can see why this place gets such good reviews. Only knock was we felt a little rushed to put in our order and order traditionally with a started and main each. We don't do that much anymore. Outstanding food and value. A few songs but so worth it.

The worst service ever. Called ahead and made a reservation for 2 for 4:30, even showed up early…read moreand was seated shortly after. No one came to our table for 30 minutes - not even to ask for a drink order - and the waitress that sat us wouldn't even make eye contact. We finally go up to the bar to try to order and are told someone would come to our table within a few minutes. Sat around for another 10 minutes and still no one, my boyfriend went to the bar to pay for the beer he got before we got seated and waited around for another 15 minutes, still no one to our table.. We waited for an hour and no one came to us, even after we tried to order food at the bar. Absolutely horrible service for a restaurant that is supposed to be "nice." Extremely disappointed.

We went out dancing at As You Like It and had a fun time grooving to the cheese fest live band…read more Drinks seemed to be coming astonishingly quickly at the bar given it was a Saturday night, which was a plus. The crowd was generally all right although there is inexplicably a trapeze hanging over the middle of the dancefloor which drunkards kept launching themselves onto only to find themselves being manhandled of the premises by an enormous bouncer. I seriously did not appreciate (a) one of the people swinging kicking me in the shoulder (b) being shoved aside by the bouncer more than once. Seriously, get rid of it before I get your staff done for assault.

The hotel is beautiful so I hoped the restaurant would be great, at least compared to other hotel…read morerestaurants - unfortunately I was wrong. Sure, the food is well presented, but it's nothing special, it's quite expensive for the small portions, and the service is terrible. What particularly brings my rating down though, is the service, or lack thereof - the hostess was OK, as was the person that brought my food, but the waiter was the most unhelpful and unpleasant one I've likely ever had across multiple countries and classes of restaurants - why hire someone like this? He made the same food suggestions 3 separate times, quickly left after each time, and every time he dropped by he had the same unamused expression, body language, and tone. Simply following a script without any genuine intent. Continental breakfast is only OK because it's self serve.

Hmm not my favourite destination in Newcastle mainly as it's a little overpriced and pretentious in…read moremy opinion! Brown's has definitely got a glamorous feel to it....very modern,spotlessly clean and ample comfortable chairs or booths for seating! The menu,although offering a large variety of different wines,spirits and cocktails,is very expensive. I met a friend after work and it cost me £5.75 for a single G&T which even for Newcastle is a bit steep. I've not sampled the food so cannot comment on that. The staff are very quick to serve you at the bar so the service is efficient but it wouldn't hurt to look a bit more cheerful! This place is great if you fancy a quiet drink and easy conversation without having to worry about overly loud music. Overall it may be worth a visit but not if you're on a budget.

Far too watery but at least they delivered the right mix of product. Wine list about what you'd expect for somewhere fair to middling in the UK. Nothing at all special but do not avoid it.
