This 2020 newcomer in a Victorian building just off the Quayside creates “unusual twists on Indian cuisine” by using a modern Josper grill to recreate the ‘primal’ smoky flavours of the subcontinent’s traditional regional cuisines. Top Tip – “wonderful cocktails”.

“A brilliant newcomer to Newcastle Quayside's dining scene” launched in the unfortunate times of late 2020, and offering retro Indian comfort food; its 'smoke play' dishes – cooked traditionally over red-hot coals and burning wood in a special Josper oven – are “really high quality” by early reports, with “lots of unfamiliar dishes” and a “great-value set menu”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Gordon Ramsey has just said Khai Khai made him the best curry he's had in his life, and we can believe it. Utterly delicious food, well prepared, with great staff and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. Highly recommended!"
