It's very close to centre which is also a bonus as it's only about a five minute walk to the bus stop. I really like the chicken dishes they serve and always have one of them. I especially like the ones with a creamy sauce and i also enjoy the ones with ginger added. Yum!

Eh, went to Rajpooth the other night for the first time in a long time and it was ... not great…read more There were tons of students waiting around to be seated, perhaps due to the set menu special on Sunday nights. We waited quite a while to be seated. When the food came it was just ... not great. The flavors seemed off, sort of bland, nothing had the right spice level. I would head to Spice Lounge over Rajpooth.

I cannot begin to describe the amazingness that is this restaurant. The host was extremely friendly, one of the things I remember even a year later. The waiting staff were all very responsive and friendly as well. Their explanations of the dishes were very helpful and informative. The food was amazing. The best Indian food I've ever had. They have a diverse selection of dishes as well. Some items were nice and spicy while others were more mild. The deserts were awesome too. I seriously can't say enough about this place, it's one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The next time I'm in the UK I am making it a point to get up to Newcastle again so I can go to Spice Cube.

My friend and I stopped by Saathi after a long day of exploring Hadrian's wall, as per the…read morerecommendation of a man in a tea cart. We had a bus and then a train to catch later that night, so we ate at around 5:30, when the restaurant first opened. At the front of the restaurant was a full bar, and in the back was the main dining room. We were the only customers there, at that time, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. The waiters were there when you needed them, and the ambiance, a softly lit kind of orange-toned-soft-wall kind of place, was enjoyable. Occasionally people would stop by and get take-away, and the restaurant seemed to readily accommodate this. What really set this place apart was its food. My friend ordered what I would discover was the best daal I've ever had in my entire life. She had it with a plain pilau and a garlic naan, and both were very satisfying. I ordered a lamb curry, which was a perfect mix of spicy and meaty, and it came in a reasonable portion. I also had an incredible nut pilau, which was flavored with saffron and crisped onions and cashews. Delicious delicious delicious. If you're ever in the area, I do recommend stopping by.

Thou the staff are lovely guys I think its probably time they sproosed themselves up along with the restaurant as I think they are a bit too laid back but in general this is still a decant place to eat.
