Had the wonderful experience of visiting this restaurant recently. The interior design is exquisite, and lots of care has been taken to maximise the effect. From the beautiful Murano glass chandeliers, to the subtle effects of lighting. The real highlight was the food. Truly delicious and plentiful. I had a favourite of mine - tempera vegetables, and they were crispy, delicious with a wonderful dipping sauce. You can always tell the quality of Thai cooking by a green curry, and this was one of the best I've had. The portions are so generous that they had no trouble at all packing the left-overs for us, and we enjoyed them the following day. The staff their are so friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable of the food they are serving. The will gladly talk you through the menu and offer recommendations should you need it. I can't wait to go back to visit my family in Newcastle, as the Buddha Lounge has become a regular fixture of my visits. If you have not already been, I would recommend it as soon as possible. Thank you so much for a wonderful and memorable evening. read more
