Hei Hei is some Korean place now.

[Sho'Time]

Cheers gents, fingers crossed nee f***er comes back with a 'strictly no Indians' ask.

I've lived down the coast for years and can also vouch for Gulshan and Shampan. You will not be disappointed with either, great staff too. Gate of India on Front Street has always been good when I've went, albeit last time was a couple of years ago and it does look a little dated but I quite like that. Bilash in Cullercoats makes great food but very small. We have a wealth of great Indian food places down here but the Italians are severely lacking. There is two Davanti's in Tynemouth and one in Whitley. All done out ok but the food is totally hit and miss. Honestly can't think of another. Pub grub is pretty reasonable but dodge Front Street for that from Friday - Sunday evenings as full of drinkers. The Grand hotel has a nice bar that does good food too. On the fish quay The Ships Cat has just opened and is a cracking pub with a decent looking menu and there is also The Staith House.

Went to Heaton Ingrediant earlier for breakfast, would recommend.

What did you get? Bong water + 2 tabs double dipped?

Same Chinese owner apparently. Looks worth a try though.

Went to Scream again last night for pizza, definitely the best about at the moment.

Sat in and ordered 7 pizzas to go the other weekend when I was back home. They've got a really good thing going, I loved how laid back the whole operation seemed. Pizza was tremendous.

Pizza Express on the verge of going under it would seem.

Moving in...

What are their pizza's like? The ones you can get from the supermarket are bang average for the price.

[Disco]

Bang average albeit a lot better than the shop ones, and expensive if you don't have one of about 600 vouchers they do.

Probably grew far too quickly as there was only really Italian places/Pizza Hut as competition but independent/smaller market has caught up and massively surpassed them in the last 5 years.

If they're folding, will they become Calzone Express?

Staith House Sunday roast is as good as ever.

[SheikhShearer]

Went to Heaton Ingrediant earlier for breakfast, would recommend.

Last time I went there I was up all night shitting and puking my guts out. It wasn't because of the food - it was due to a virus that most people in my family had caught - but I now associate it with that. Shame as the food was banging

Barrio Comida is absolutely excellent. Really authentic. The restaurant week menu was cracking value too.

Been to the reopened one in Durham today. Would highly recommend to if you dig tacos.

Shame about the locals mind.

Were the locals not of the proper ENGLISH authenticity?

I went to Gulshan for the first time last week. The starter I had was amazing, but the main course was fair/average. It is owned by the grandad of a someone who I used to work with. He once brought me in a curry a his mam made which was unreal.
His cousin owns Shakira in Whitley Bay. Shakira is unreal, the service is great, the food is unreal, and theirs a reason why they constantly win national awards.

I see Meat Stack are opening a restaurant.

I mean it's another burger place but damn their burgers are good.

Aye, best burgers in town.
They do their burgers in the Dog & Parrot, but they aren’t as good as they are only supplied by Meatstack, and not cooked by them.
They are keeping their Grainger Market location open as well, which is good.
Hopefully the Bigg Market restaurant will help them open up on the likes of Deliveroo, Uber eats, and Just eat. I wouldn’t like to go to the Bigg market restaurant on Friday, or Saturday night though.

I work very near there. Personally, I will not eat there. A couple of incidents makes me think their hygiene isn't everything it could be. Also building control shut them down temporarily because they didn't bother putting in the fire escape they had in the conversion plans. They had to rectify that quickly. They seem a bit cavalier with public safety as far as I can tell.
