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.

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!

Nice atmosphere and amazing food at very good prices.

I'll be honest, we were tempted here by a £10 meal deal and on that basis I wasn't expecting much…read more How wrong I was! The deal may have been cheap but the food was certainly didn't taste that way, and whilst our selection of dishes was limited, they still covered a good range of palates. After the pints of Kingfisher were delivered the Poppadoms arrived with a selection of sundries (and what seemed to be jar provided Mango Chutney, a bit of a disappointment to be honest). They soon disappeared and we didn't have to wait long for our main courses. We ordered three different types of rice and a couple of nan breads to share between us, and the portions were a good size. Chicken Pathia for me which had a nice little spicy kick and tasted really fresh, the thick, chunky sauce was a pleasant change to the usual bright red affair I've had in other places. I got to try some of the other dishes too and all were both familiar but different enough to be memorable - the Lamb Biryani especially. Price wise, even though we were on a fixed meal deal, it looked reasonably competitive too so if I'm ever back in Newcastle and fancy a good curry, this is where I'll be heading!

Service was terrible; we sat around waiting for our bill for the longest time, but hardly any person came around to check on us. Overall, I would not come back again, and I think I would prefer a place that didn't play Chainsmokers in a really awesome, high-ceilinged dining room. Bold naan. Bland chicken. Bad service.

I discovered it's in the place formerly occupied by the Rupali owned by Lord Harpole who made "Curry Hell". It was then the Taj Palace after Mr Latif died, and now The Karma Kitchen.

I could easily have had anything on the menu, but went for a sharing platter with Tofu and a quest desi. A Mexican Indian fusion. Both were fantastic! I almost forgot that we started by ordering a turmeric latte each. Beautiful, subtle with a lemony top. Wow. Gorgeous. We will definitely be back soon for lunch with our friends. It's close to my work, and very reasonably priced! It makes me so happy that I'm lucky enough to be able to come often.
