Amazing tasty food and great service Lamb chops are delicious
The NNB was buzzing, loads of atmosphere and the food was delicious.
Authentic top quality Indian food, as always. Great service too.
Great food, cheerful and attentive service.Good choice of dishes .Food was fresh, hot and nicely presented. Generous portions. Restaurant was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean .If I was being picky which I am the lighting could be less bright -more restaurant less cafe but a minor niggle and entirely personal
Place was extremely busy and food was great and plenty of it...stuffed!
Excellent food and service as always. Has the chicken korai this time- amazing!
The food was amazing, the tastiest Indian meal we have had in a long time. The service was excellent, teamed with a personal touch of remembering my name as I left to thank me personally! I would highly recommend this restaurant.
The chutneys accompanying poppadoms could have been better quality. Food a bit salty. Service pleasant.
Convenient location with good food, friendly staff and decent price
Another vert good meal and great service at the New New Bengal, our favourite restaurant in Gosforth. Thank you again, see you again very soon.
Excellent - Food was great and would recommend it as an great choice on gosforth high street Atmosphere price staff all very good and will be back again Thank you
Lovely meal, food nicely cooked and service was excellent. Large portions and good value for money. Would recommend and we will be back soon I hope.
Brilliant night with friends. The manager greeted us by name as we were shown to our table and later his father came to speak to us too, wonderful. The food was amazing, 2 members of the party tried dishes they hadn’t had before and were not disappointed. The restaurant never rushes you, the staff are attentive but not over the top. You’re given plenty of time to make your choices, and the food is served piping hot , Love this restaurant will definitely go again
Another great meal at Gosforth's best Indian restaurant. I love the Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi and it's always good. Great food and great service, thank you again.
Really really enjoyed this. Popadums and starters were really big. We both had madras curry which was very tasty. We will definitely be back soon.
They serve great Indian food. We have been there a number of times and each time food has been good. I would definitely go back.
Great atmosphere, great service, best curry for miles around and value for money. Shame they have taken off the bottled bitters which are an unusual offering in most curry houses: but still highly recommended.
We found that the menu was slightly limited, and missed out on a bhiriani, but the food that we ordered was excellent as was the service. Would happily recommended.
Fabulous food, beautifully spiced and well presented. Great service although a little slow once we had finished our meal but to be fair, the restaurant was very busy.
Looks like a small venue but it's larger than it looks, has a first floor, and looks very clean. Staff managed to fit in our requirements (party of 4 on a budget), and arranged for a pleasant evening with plenty of food throughout. Food was really good, and to top things off, its location is right at the start of the high street (next to Gosforth Hotel). Will be back!
Menu is great. It has a good mix of classic Currys and some items are bit different. The food and service is always excellent. I love this restaurant.
We visited again last night and were not disappointed, from the moment we walked in the staff are attentive and friendly the food was wonderful, a great night out
Another great meal at the New New Bengal, this time there were seven of us. Really great food and great staff. Thanks once again for looking after us.
Excellent service, all staff very friendly and attentive. Food was of high quality and portions were massive. Reasonable wine list and not too expensive. Highly recommended.
This is a great restaurant the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The service and food were 1st class. We all had a great night and will definitely be returning.
The staff were friendly. They provided excellent service . Good range of food on the menu. Food was excellent and served fairly quickly. Definitely recommended
The New New Bengal is the best. Fact. Fact. Fact. Quite simply the best sit down curry in Gosforth Love it and highly recommended Go.
Lovely food and good service in a very nice setting. There is a good selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options and the menu is clearly labelled.
Excellent food, wonderful service, what more could you ask for. It was my wife's birthday & she was spoilt rotten. Good choice on menu of traditional & something different
Lovely meal. Everyone in party of 5 agreed that food was fantastic and service was great. Prices more than reasonable. What more do you need?
A very nice meal with a friendly atmosphere and staff were pleasant and helpful. The food was excellent and there was a good range of different dishes
The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive . Always made to feel welcome. Little touches like remembering your name. No hesitation in recommending this restaurant
We've been going here for years and couldn't wait for it to reopen. Great food, friendly and polite service. Best curry in Toon: a little gem.
Excellent service, great food and even an unexpected birthday cake presentation for the occasion. Staff very attentive, courteous and polite. We’ll certainly go back again in the future.
Always a pleasure, this is our regular Indian restaurant night out. They look after us really well and the food is excellent. Love it. See you again soon.
Lovely food and wine only problem not a lot of atmosphere and waitresss not very happy overall would still return for the food very good
Bedienung war tadellos. Das Essen wie immer köstlich, was ich Von NewNew Bengal erwarte under die enttāuschen nje, sei es das Essen zum Mitnehmen oder I'm Restaurant.
Good food in pleasant surroundings. Our first time here having past the restaurant on our many journeys to Newcastle from our home in Cramlington, wish we had tried it before now.
Service started really good then went down hill whilst eating main course. I asked for dessert menu but was told no. We were hurried as thw place was getting busy. I only eat out on special occasions. So when i do eat out i expect the full experience.... i felt like i couldnt even ask for coffee.. shame as the foid was quite nice.. i will return for a takeaway ..but would go elsewere if i want the eat in experience....
we had really tasty food, lovely busy atmosphere, reasonably priced for the quality and the location of the restaurant. booked table on time and table was waiting for us . excellent service
I’ve previously ordered takeaways from here and was impressed both by the service and the food enough that I thought I would book a table for me and my friends. The staff were courteous and took orders promptly, the food arrived a little later, however to my disappointment my lamb jalfrezi tasted a little of burnt spices, the lamb was also a little overdone and slightly tough to eat. Also I felt the restaurant while sitting in it was too bright. Because of my initial good experience though I will consider trying once more.
Excellent food as always, we will be back, yet again,soon.
Lovely food and attentive staff. However spoilt by a group of men who were using bad language and inapproptiate conversation. They were obviously fairly well served and I understand it is a dilemma a for the restaurant but it should have been dealt with as it did spoil our first experience ofvdning atvthe restaurant. However we won't let this put us off returning
Excellent restaurant, excellent food and excellent staff. We’ll be back yet again quite soon. The best Indian food in Gosforth. I love the Chicken Jalfrezi!
We've now been twice to the New New Bengal (surely the next owners have to come up with something a bit more original?) and on both occasions the food has been exceptional but the service 'eccentric'. The menu blends some classics with a range of dishes we'd never heard of and the quality is superb, light and distinctive, quite the best Indian cuisine we've enjoyed. The service is eccentric in that the staff are friendly and helpful but - and this may be a case of a relatively new business still finding its feet - a tad chaotic. On both occasions we'd booked in advance but our arrival seemed to be something of a surprise, with the first time involving a 30" wait for our table. On being seated we were immediately asked for a drinks order, literally before we'd sat down and seen a menu, but taking our food order took much longer and one course failed to arrive at all. The demands of serving both the restaurant customers and a very busy takeaway service may be the cause of the confusion and the two areas would benefit from being kept separate. The prices are a bit on the high side but the quality of the food justifies the expense - in future we may be more likely to use the takeaway, slightly cheaper and with an extraordinary range of dishes (over 130!). In its relatively short new identity the NNB has proved very popular and as such may be the victim of its own success in struggling to meet demand - simply a couple more staff and a bit more training would likely iron out the quirks in the service. Overall a safe recommendation for an excellent night out - you just may need to be a bit flexible if you're hoping for a smooth flawless dining experience.
Hadn’t visited this restaurant for some time but well worth the wait. Food was delicious, service was polite and attentive. Prices reasonable. Only downside slightly cold, but it is January!
The staff at this restaurant are absolutely lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Food is fresh, delicious and very reasonable priced. My new favourite Indian in Jesmond / Gosforth area
Lovely authentic Indian cuisine. Excellent service. Ambient atmosphere friendly staff. Will recommend to others. The restaurant was very busy, but there were lent of staff serving.
First time we've been for YEARS! Really pleased to see all the changes/improvements that have been made and also see the owner is still there and still looks happy and friendly! The food was absolutely first class, generous portions and a really excellent range of options for vegans. The staff were brilliant - friendly and attentive. Perfect!
Good service. Very tasty meal. Generous portions. We will definitely return. We went early, pleased we did as within an hour the place was packed.
