Summary
“Love this place” – “the Indian street food flavours are wonderful” and “very different” at this Jesmond outfit with bright interiors, an open kitchen and verandah, which compares favourably with the city-centre original.

Summary
The home-style Indian street food can be “out of this world” at this quirky, colourful Jesmond sibling to the city-centre HQ, and preferred to the original by some; fans can’t get enough – and “even get take-outs from here now” (well it is named after Bombay’s proto-Deliveroo lunch-delivery men).
Summary
“They avoid the usual gloopy sauces” at this Jesmond spin-off from the city-centre original, which offers a similar on-trend Mumbai street food formula comprising some “fantastic, healthy Indian bites”.
Owner's description
At our colourful, buzzing kitchens we bring you the fresh tastes of the street — Indian snacks and chaats, tapas-style grazing dishes, classic curry plates and unique street combos.
Unique Indian food, served tapas-style in our friendly urban kitchens — eat, graze, share — love Dabbawal!
The heart of every Indian home beats in the kitchen, and at Dabbawal, you meet and eat any way you like. Our tapas-style street combos, side dishes, and curry plates are fresh, relaxed and laid back; your food comes as it’s cooked and you share — or keep everything to yourself!
Our Bombay Bomb is one of our biggest sellers, our Bhel Puri is always a big talking point, and we have yet to meet anyone who hasn’t loved our Railway Lamb Chops. This is the taste of the street, Dabbawal style!
We created our urban kitchen concept, named for the famous Dabbawalla lunch delivery men of Indian cities, long before the craze for street food hit the UK, and we’re still breaking the mould — serving up unique dishes derived from traditional street favourites in busy urban kitchens which buzz with conversation and comings and goings — just like home.
Eat, graze, share... love Dabbawal!
