Dabbawal: Newcastle’s Original Indian Street Food Pioneers

Winners of the UK’s Best Casual Dining Restaurant (British Curry Awards, 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2020).

Dabbawal was the first to bring authentic Indian street food to Newcastle, pioneering a vibrant dining experience inspired by the bustling streets of Mumbai. We’ve always been about blending the heart of Indian home cooking with the bold, fresh flavours of street food culture.

In our buzzing kitchens, we serve up Indian snacks and chaats, tapas-style grazing plates, classic curries, and signature street combos - all made fresh, all unmistakably authentic.

Whether you’re visiting our flagship restaurant on the cobbled streets of Newcastle city centre or nestled away in the leafy suburbs of our Jesmond venue, Dabbawal promises a dining experience that’s relaxed, exciting, and truly original.
