What a lovely little cafe in Tynemouth - why don't we have more places like this in Newcastle?…read more There's so much attention to detail in the decor. All of the sweets look absolutely amazing, but I just had lunch and tea. I had a Thai Chicken Salad for £7 and a pot of peppermint tea for £2, and both came out very quickly! The salad was full of vegetables, and the chicken was marinated in a very flavorful dressing. The meal was fresh and light, and really hit the spot after a long walk. My friend also really enjoyed her Indian chicken wrap thing, which was huge! Much bigger portion than mine and it looked delicious. I'd come back anytime I'm in town, everyone's food looked gorgeous coming out of the kitchen, with lots of fresh produce and vibrant colors. Just what a cosy cafe should be. I only wish they had loose tea instead of teabags.

Food is very tastey and fast delivered, Very happy.read more

Yes, a typical Chinese Buffet with a grand selection of food available from starter to pudding. As…read morealways eyes bigger than belly but if you starve yourself all day it's worth the £16 for Experience, especially if you don't have a preference of what type of meal you want. To me these places are spoilt by greedy people who waste more than they eat. In the main this is a good place, plates cleared away pretty quickly as you eat. Remember to keep you knife & fork!. The diet starts tomorrow!

I'll have to admit that buffets are not my favourites but one particular friend loves buffets. I…read moreguess it is cheap and cheerful, you don't have to wait for food and you get to have whatever you want and however much you want. As far as buffets go, this is the fanciest I've seen. It's also an Asian-fusion style buffet that also serves on-demand grilled food, sushi, dim sum, fresh salad and pizza. The menu is adjusted slightly from day to day and time but you can always guarantee the staples you expect from a Chinese buffet. Most importantly, there is a large range of dessert all separated into small, cute containers so you can have a bit of everything from jelly to cake to ice-cream and fruit! The price is decent for the buffet and a drink, the customer service is average and there's cubicles for larger parties and plenty of seating. It does get busy and noisy though. Access on street level and a part of intu Eldon Square, this is a popular and easy to get to choice for lunch and dinner.

This is the type of place you only see in movies and think there's no way it exits in real life. So…read morepicturesque it's insane. Everything from the ambiance on a cold winter day to the food was amazing. The soundtrack that was playing tied everything together and the intimate seating adds to the experience. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The langoustines were the star of the show, and I wish we had had a full dinner here but were going somewhere else and just needed something small to hold us over. This place will live in my head rent-free for the rest of my life.

First of all, we have been waiting for food for lunch for over an hour and a half. We came down…read moreand our drinks were brought right away. But from what I've been witnessing, only the people that had bookings are served right away. Walk ins, like us, just have to wait and wait and wait. There is no way any food coming out of this grill kitchen could change my mind about giving this place a 2 star rating.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating: from the greeter who took our table request, Barman, the lady who initially served us, our waiter - Keith etc... The food was ok.

I chose the Chef's choice and was not disappointed with the generous portions and selections made. There were things I might not have tried otherwise and was glad to have been offered. It's a great way to sample the menu at a great price. The drink menu was also fairly extensive and they had some fun gin pairings. Go, eat heartily, and enjoy.

We had booked a table for 6pm however arrived slightly late due to the bad weather (I believe Hurricane Kate is the culprit!) However, we were sat quickly and when telling our server we had limited time due to our cultural theatre trip it was recommended that we keep away from the signature curries as they take time to cook through. We started with a bottle of prosecco (this is getting predictable now?) and opted to share the bombay bombs and hara chicken parchey to start. The bombay bombs were delicious filled with mashed potatoes and a homemade sauce they were incredibly flavoured! The chicken arrived looked a cool shade of green with a yogurt dip it was also delicious. Next I opted for the burgh tikka makhani masala which was a butter based rich tomato curry with plenty of succulent chicken. With a side of mushroom pilau (one portion is enough for two really!) and a side of tandoori roti I mopped up every last bit of the rich sauce! Competing the meal was the standard cosmo which I ALWAYS get when I go here as it has a nice twist on the original. I must say the lamb railway curry is still my favourite however I am yet to try their signature Korma so watch this space!
