"What a beautiful restaurant. Staying in Hexham for a few days and this was a birthday celebration meal. Certainly did not disappoint, food was excellent; service and attention to detail outstanding. Would certainly recommend and will return next time we are passing through. Thank you for outstanding meal and friendly efficient service."

"We looked at all the reviews and thought we'd try this place out whilst working in the area and what a good choice that turned out to be !
We had a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived and took through the arch to a lovely bright and welcoming restaurant
The menus look and feel like quality and a very good selection of food to match. We both went through the chef specials and both went for the spicy curry with orange peel in it. Wow what a good choice as it tasted amazing and unlike any curry I've had before
We also had some Bombay potatoes, mushroom rice and a garlic keema naan, all of which were delicious and tasty.
The owner came and spoke to us and he was lovely, we both told him how much we enjoyed it and we will definitely return next time we are working in Hexham 👌🏻"

THE 15 BEST Restaurants in Hexham, Northumberland
Visited with some work friends, starters very nice, main courses a good size but I would say a little sweet. The waiter who was dealing with us was very friendly. Only reason for 4 stars is that 5 poppadoms and a pickle tray were £10, this isn't right these should be complementary.
