Award-winning Indian restaurant Khai Khai has received a glowing food review in The Guardian, bringing it another share of the national spotlight with dishes described as 'outstanding' and 'incredible'.
Its restaurant critic Grace Dent was full of praise following a visit there, describing "the kind of food you pause halfway through eating so you can text friends about it". Her review of Khai Khai referred to one murgh tikka dish as "really quite astounding".
The restaurant boasted a whole new dining concept when it opened on Newcastle Quayside in 2020, initially as a takeaway until lockdown restrictions eased enough for its proper launch and it won the title of UK's Best Innovative Restaurant Concept at the British Curry Awards within its first year. The traditional smoke and fire style of cooking used in its 'retro Indian comfort food' dishes has helped it earn a central spot in the city's dining scene.
