The naan's are really tasty. Our favourite dishes are the Chicken Grilled and Lamb Kofta kebabs, although the barbequed lamb chops are also amazing. We've tried the pizza once and it was also yummy, although not the big draw of this place. The prices are really cheap for the quality of food you receive and the service is fast. Baba's has a delivery service through just-eat.co.uk which we've used several times as well. Definitely check this place out - worth skipping over your local kebab place in favour of this West Road gem!

We ordered chips with it which were much nicer than the usual takeaway chips you get these days and the bread was more like a nana than a pita bread which was also lovely.

Thanks to good old Yelp I did not have to worry or fret about where to eat whilst visiting the…read morelovely Newcastle Upon Tyne. Thank you fellow Yelpers! You rock. I probably would have actually passed this place by had I not had the Yelp-knowledge I now have (Muhahaha!) as it does not look particularly 'stunning' from the outside and it's situated in a part of town surrounded by lots of kebab shops and other such take-away joints, but i TRUSTED the Yelpers not to do me wrong so in we went... Must admit we got a wee shock upon entering - it's rather teeny downstairs and we did not realise there WAS an upstairs *gulp* Wishing we'd booked a table now we approached the waitress; 'Table for 2? Have you booked?' 'No...' 'No problem, follow me' and upstairs we went, cue huge sigh of relief (I didn't have a safe back-up plan had they been fully booked) We were seated and given menus. Having never eaten Persian food before I didn't know quite what to expect, but again I trusted the good Yelpers! For starters we chose the Dolmeh (stuffed vine leaves) to share and for main I opted for the Joojeh, which is chargrilled & marinated chicken breast chunks, with rice and a nan bread. The Boy chose the Fesenjan - a chicken breast stew with a pomegranate & walnut sauce and rice also. Service was swift but not rushed and the Dolmeh were delicious. The main courses we had were both very very tasty ~ my chicken was melt-in-the-mouth and the Boy's stew was so tasty. The rice & nan were both also very good and the surroundings were pleasant indeed. Staff were friendly and efficient and it was very reasonably priced. All in all we had a great meal. Deffo be back if I'm in the Newcastle again. Just wish they had this restaurant in Glasgow.

We tried: - Humus (sooo creamy and gorgeous) - Mirza ghasemi, which was a dip with aubergine, garlic and tomato - Dolmeh (stuffed vine leaves) - and some olives and Nan bread For mains we shared: - Three skewers, chicken, lamb and "koobideh" which was minced lamb. All the meat was juicy and delicious! - Stew of lamb, spinach and prunes - The lamb was really tender and went well with the stew. - Stew of chicken, crushed walnuts and pomegranate - this was sweet, and a new flavour for me, but really tasty. The deserts were all amazing too... although I can't remember which three we tried! The night we ate here was Persian new year, so the staff had all their party food and drinks laid out ready for their celebration after the customers went home. I hope they had a good party as they really deserve it!

The service was efficient and friendly - we were asked to order drinks before we even sat down, so things kept moving at a brisk pace. We took recommendations from our server, who was very personable and wore a big smile on his face. After our poppadoms, we got our mains of Chicken Tikka Punjabi Mossala and lamb Nawabi Khana, a side of Sag Aloo (potato and spinach), garlic chili naan, and pilau rice. First of all, nothing was greasy, and everything was truly full of flavor. The Nawabi Khana was described on the menu as the most complex of all the curries, and it truly was - you could taste a plethora of spices in each bite, it was really impressive. The lamb was tender, and the sauce was gorgeous, it had a truly home-cooked flavor. The chicken tikka was also good - nicer than the average chicken tikka masala, with a lot more flavor and very juicy chicken. I love that their vegetarian dishes are available as sides - often they are only available in main sizes - so for only a few pounds more, you can get a nice veg. The garlic chili naan was lovely and light. We made short work of it all, and the prices were very reasonable. We'll surely be back! Order off the house specials menu, and take the servers' recommendations if you want the best experience.

The Botanist was an excellent find when we stayed the night in downtown Newcastle. Located on Monument Mall, you have to up three flights of stairs or take the lift (elevator) to reach the main bar and lounge that has a strong botanical garden theme that is quite beautiful, especially with the location being under a dome. The dome is gorgeous and really enhances the botanical garden and atrium effect. The cocktails are very good as well. I ordered a buttered coconut old fashioned that was quite rich and creamy, but very satisfying with the toasted coconut and butter-washed Makers Mark bourbon with homemade salted honey syrup. My wife enjoyed her Botanist Ultimate Gin & Tonic as we took a table with these plushy lounge chairs. The bartender was fantastic and friendly in making us the cocktails. Really nice guy who made us feel at home. Additionally, they have a rooftop balcony to enjoy the drinks; however, on this evening, it was windy and cold (at least for us Floridians) to where we decided to stay warmer inside. But we would return in a heartbeat.

Situated on Westgate Road near the O2 Academy, Reza is a small family restaurant run by a husband and wife team. The food is delicious, reasonably priced and plentiful. The dish of choice for most Iranians is kebab bargh - barbecued lamb served with rice and wonderful charred tomatoes. Chicken kebab runs a close second. Forget greasy corner shop donner kebabs, this is delicious elegant food served simply. Start your meal with grilled aubergine dip and their home cooked thin bread and you'll be planning your next visit. Iranians don't do much on the way of desserts and so choice is limited but that's no big deal.
