Vujon - Overlooked Extravagence

Despite being situated in Newcastle's centre of gourmet excellence - Quayside, this hidden gem often goes  unnoticed. Probably due to it lying in the shadows of Rasa's uncommon South Indian delights and Rani's long-standing reputation. But Vujon certainly does have something different to offer. Although the food isn't entirely authentic Indian cuisine, the menu does boast some seriously exotic dishes from India's surrounding regions. Such dishes include venison Jaipur style and Duck Salan, and like the rest of the menu they are well prepared and will leave you feeling like your dining with Persian royalty. As does the high-standard of service. The only let down to their flamboyant menu is the associated price tags for the more interesting dishes, with the pricing for drinks being equally cheeky. If you're looking for something far more absorbing than your standard curry house or for a special occasion this place will fit the bill. However, don't expect to have much left in your wallet after. Unfortunately Vujon also exhibits another terrible case of disgusting house wine, avoid it all costs. Cat urine is probably tastier. 78%
