The Story

Dosa Kitchen is a cosy, family-run Indian restaurant in the heart of Jesmond, offering traditional homemade dishes, fresh ingredients, and a warm, authentic atmosphere loved by locals and visitors alike. The kitchen draws its inspiration from the Tamil Nadu region of South India, and the menu — largely vegan and naturally gluten-free — is a revelation for anyone who thinks Indian food begins and ends with curry. The namesake dosas are the main event: thin, crisp rice-flour crêpes fermented over days and served with sambar and coconut chutney, or filled with spiced potato in the classic masala style.

What To Order

The Sunday Sapaad feast — a South Indian spread of multiple dishes served together — is the ideal way to experience the kitchen’s full range in one sitting. The South Indian Grill, or Sutta Kari, is another highlight: meat marinated overnight in chilli, garlic, black pepper and curry leaves then cooked over open flame. Dosa Kitchen is one of those restaurants Newcastle should be prouder of than it is — seek it out.
