"Upon our arrival, Dad was greeted like an old friend, and we were promptly shown to our table. I noticed a few families speaking Indian dialects, which I took as a great sign that we were in for some authentic cuisine. I was not disappointed! For our starter, we ordered the chicken poppadoms, which were a fantastic light and tasty entrée, featuring a lovely crunch from the poppadom topped with a generous amount of chutney, coriander, and spices that complemented each other beautifully. For our main courses, Dad went for his favorite lamb rogan josh with steamed rice, while I chose the chef's special, chicken tikka pulao rice, accompanied by a few chapatis. Judging by the silence at our table as we enjoyed our meals and the subsequent clean plates, both dishes were a hit! The lamb was cooked to perfection, and mine was a dish I had never tried before but will definitely recommend. Can I recommend this place? Absolutely! If you're in the Northeast, especially near Newcastle upon Tyne and craving Indian cuisine, look no further. While the prices might be slightly higher than at other restaurants, the exceptional service, outstanding food, and overall wonderful experience are well worth it."

"Room 305 is located in central Whitley bay, so easy to get to by foot but parking is a little limited. The food is of a Turkish Greek style, with lots of meat, vegetarian and vegan options available. We’ve been a couple of times now on a Saturday afternoon and it can be quite busy so if you want to be certain of getting a table it would be best to book as it is very popular. They do serve food quite late, and it does seem to be popular late on as well. Every time we’ve been the service is excellent, with the food arriving very quickly, always freshly cooked and tasting absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend the Harrissa Hummus with Chick Swarma and the Beetroot Hummus. The menu has a good range of options for main meals, light bites and flatbreads, with a breakfast menu served until 11."

"I am never disappointed by my visits. But yesterday’s lunch broke all records for deliciousness. It must be years since we last had minestrone soup but what a tasty warming choice for the first day of November. And then … great big generous king prawns in cream with a touch of chilli and a life enhancing splash of ouzo. A taste sensation! And absolute bliss."

"I had heard great things about this place from family and friends but had somehow never got round to visiting. So after an early finish from work we decided to go for lunch. There is a very chilled atmosphere and an eclectic mix of music playing in the background. The lunchtime menu includes a few main dishes with various paninis. I opted for the lamb and harissa burger while my wife went for the cauliflower and chickpea samosa. They don't sell alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own. The bill came to £30 that included soft drinks and coffee. The staff are super friendly and very informative when it comes to explaining the various dishes. We will return to try the dinner menu."

"Once they entered the omni cafe and examined the menu, we could say that we visited something special somewhere. the lunch menu offered 6/10 exciting vegan options and a large selection on the side as well. we ordered the banh mi and a mango, chili, erdnuss and tofu Vietnamese salat with a side of sweet knuckles in a soy and sesame broth. the Vietnamese salate was lively, fresh and aromatic with a series of textures and perfectly cooked and seasoned tofu, while the banh mi was crisp, bursting with taste and well seasoned. again the tofu was absolutely excellent. the dumplings were also delicious and a perfect companion to the net. Overall we spent just over £30, what some can say is expensive, but if the quality of eating is so good, it doesn't matter to them to pay something extra. the owners have a great decor and atmosphere here, with nice staff and I cannot expect to come back."
