Raval Luxury Restaurant & Bar in Gateshead

Staff was friendlyTime taken since ordering to deliver took more time. Appetite have gone downTaste wise it was not impressive to me.Food should be served faster to retain customers back.

Had a Just Eat delivery from here, arrived piping hot in speedy time and with friendly driver. Meal was well packaged and tasted delicious. I got a Garlic Nan which smelled lovely and tasted equally dipped in my Goan Fish Curry, the sauce was amazing and there was plenty of fish in the curry. As for the Manjal Chicken Tikka starter i would say it was really nice, could do with some jazzing up tho, i felt it was just a tasty chicken breast that i would have had with a main meal not a starter. Anyways all in all it was tasty and i would recommend the Goan Fish Curry if you like fish and authentic currys.

Food was poor having been to india several times it tastes the same as their street food very watery not the quality for the price you pay and the deserts were served to you very over priced ever dish was nearly chicken no prawn dishes I've travel the UK and this was the worst ever won't be going back

Lovely room, nice and spacious with tables well apart (good for social distancing). Prices are a bit above your run of the mill Indian, but worth it for the quality of food. Some interesting and novel dishes alongside old favourites. The kitchen is visible through a glass divider so you can see how spotless it is and watch the chefs create. Wine choice was sadly limited, although there is an interesting and separate gin menu instead! Really enjoyed my meal here.

Really good food, I have tried the vegetarian options packed full of lentils and chickpeas. Classy looking restaurant and good service. Great for pre show before going to The Sage. Prices are a bit more than other restaurants in the area or it would have been 5 stars.Takeout is a bit cheaper which is good.

Very friendly and welcoming team. Reasonable choice of dishes, although you may notice some of the 'standard' Indian restaurant ones missing, there is enough to choose from. Had the Tamil Chicken Madras and it was delicious.If you're not a picky eater, you'll find something to enjoy. Recommended.

Best Indian restaurant in the north east. Food was fantastic, service was excellent, extremely happy with my meal. A modern take on classic Indian food, simply delicious.

Service was very friendly. Food beautiful. Great location for pre-show or post-show meal if you are going to the Sage. About 20 mins walk to the Arena. Let staff know on your arrival what time your show is are they will do their best to ensure that you eat and leave in good time. Parking opposite restaurant (Pay by Mobile). Highly recommend Raval.

The restaurant itself is very nice and all done to a high standard. Service was attentive and friendly. My only feedback was that I felt the prices were too high. The cheapest large bottle of beer (Tiger or Cobra) was £6.95; that's more than I have paid in London. A chicken Korma was £11.95 with a bowl of Pillau rise costing £4.95. It was a good sized portion, but at £16.90 for one meal, I felt it was overpriced. (Again, I've paid less at Indian restaurants in London, where I expect the prices to be higher).

Fantastic Indian food, really explodes with flavour. Nice gin menu & wide choice of beers to accompany it as well. Staff are great here, attentive but discreet: Safi asked to be mentioned by name, so got gotta respect that. Would definitely recommend & we'll be back for sure.
