Harden's survey result
Summary
“Delicious, interesting dishes” inspired by the street food delivered by Mumbai’s ‘dabbawala’ bicycle delivery men, are to be found on the menu at this brightly coloured Jesmond venue with an open kitchen and verandah. It’s a spinoff of the city-centre original.
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).
For 31 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).
