We tried the patatas bravas, meatballs, garlic prawns, paella and fried chicken wings and they were all cooked well and were delicious with good flavours. I thought the serving size was fine for the 4 of us. They have a choice of banquets but I have never seen a banquet that wasn't overpriced anywhere, so I steer away from them. Order from the menu and ask for double serves if you are a large group. You can always order more! Their wine list contains a lot of wines from Spain but they are not overpriced and you can try to relive that last holiday in Barcelona, sitting in the sun by the sea with a glass of the rose!

When I arrived in Newcastle I was told, "you have to try Bocados". As a huge fan of paella, I was…read morequick to oblige. I went to Bocados with my younger brother and we're both known to be quite big eaters. We ordered paella (however the waitress informed us it would be green), chicken wings and bread. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal. With a good serving of seared salmon on the paella and fresh seafood, this matched the strong lime flavour of the paella delightfully. The wings had a good amount of spicyness, but were definitely over-priced for the small serving size. To conclude our meal, the only sensible option was to order churros. I wasn't overly impressed with this desert. The chocolate could have been sweeter, and the churros could have been slightly more crispy on the outside. However, I'm willing to give bocados the benefit of the doubt that if I were to return, the desert would be on par with the main meal. Overall, Bocados is a great Spanish restaurant. My advice would be to get your fair share of wings, maybe this would be a fantastic first date location, especially if your partner is hesitant to pig-out on food..

We ordered the prawn spring rolls and chicken satay for our appetisers. Deep fried pastries with king prawns, a must try. The chicken satay was served with a flavourful satay sauce on 4 skewers.

Big chunks of beef and potato with coconut milk and cashew nuts. We also ordered the pad see ew, thick noodles with soy sauce, egg, and veges. Would love to go back and try the pineapple fried rice, pan gang curry, and some other apps. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Staff were nice and restaurant was very comfy.

Opting for the baalbak banquet at $55 per head including dessert. Definitely on the pricey side. I simply cannot see there being $175 worth of food included, but it was absolutely delicious! Mixed grill (chicken, kafta and chips), smoked rice with lamb cutlets, house made hummos and motuttabel (eggplant, and possibly my favourite dish). Tabouli has become an overpowering component of your local kebab store (in my opinion), but this was the real deal. So fresh and subtle. Kibbi and sambouski (Lebanese meat pie) needed an equal share for the price. 2 of each was an odd sharing portion. One each would be more appropriate. The dessert selection of traditional Lebanese sweets was interesting. My partner enjoying baklava was a surprise. The other pieces I could take or leave and probably not suited to anyone touchy about rose water but for a first time visit it was nice to have the full experience. I may sound picky over a few things but I left very happy. Not full but certainly not hungry; just right. Also, it is BYO with corkage of $5 per bottle. Once again a pricey deterrent but the occasional splurge is necessary.

I enjoy…read morethe butter chicken and lamb korma with the meat plentiful and tender with lots of accompanying sauce. The beef madras tonight was a bit chewy but still enjoyable. I thought I'd treat myself on the way home and ordered the onion bhajis. They are the cheapest of the entree options and I think that shows in the final product. Pretty bland except for a quick bite from a cumin seed or large piece of onion. The garlic naan was great to lap up the curry sauces but was a little charred. The service is the main reason however for giving 3 stars. When I called I was asked to hold the line (no issue with that) but was left to hear banging, clanging and talking in the background. Hold music would be more professional. When I came to pick up my order I was reluctantly served by a young girl that either wasn't well trained or just lazy. She pretty much had to be coaxed to serve me.

The naans really steal the show, and they're what put it over Raj's for me. We always get the Garlic + Cheese Combo Naan, and they are always cooked just perfectly, with the crispy edges and the gooey, cheesy middle. Honestly, I just can't say enough good things about this place. It's so good, we've made room for it in our weekly budget. Definitely give it a try!

Still wise to book ahead! The food was served surprisingly quickly. I had the prawn spring rolls with the always tasty dipping sauce. Most entree items are priced per piece (eg $2.90 for one spring roll) so get adventurous and try a bit of everything. If you like a little heat the red curry is perfect. Just the right amount but don't get cocky like I did and assume the next slice of chilli will be as mild as the previous. 20 minutes later and still sucking on ice from my coke to put out the fire.
