Dabbawal, Jesmond

Dabbawal Jesmond – Indian restaurant & bar in Jesmond, Newcastle

Dabbawal’s second venue, set in leafy suburban Jesmond and designed as a proper neighbourhood spot for relaxed dining and easy get-togethers. Expect a lively open kitchen, bright interiors and bold illustrations channelling Mumbai’s vibrant energy – equally suited to a casual meal or settling in for cocktails and sharing plates.

The draw: The Vrooma, a stylish private dining space for celebrations and group dining, and The Veranda, a fully heated, plant-filled outdoor space that works year-round.

Hours:

Mon–Thu 12–2:30pm & 5–10pm

Fri–Sat 12–10:30pm

Sun 12–9:30pm (last orders 15 mins before close)

Vibe check: warm and sociable — a go-to for good Indian food among friends, with enough polish (and the Veranda) to make it feel like an occasion too.
