Singh's Indian Restaurant-Affordably Authentic

The site itself my look like an abandoned warehouse at the edge of the Bronx, but once you've been welcomed inside you will be pleasantly surprised. As you step into the Punjabi banquet hall you will be met by an aura of a luxury, greeted by very friendly staff and mesmerised by the spice infused aroma of Indian cuisine. The menu is truly representative of Punjabi cuisine, right down to the home-made style classics such as saag paneer and tinda masala. The dishes are well prepared and accurately seasoned, but without the degree of fire that is customary to Punjabi food, although this may disappoint some. You won't find yourself drowning in grease like you would in some of Newcastle's more questionable Indian restaurants either. Best of all the pricing if the menu is extremely favourable, there are even discounts available for students and gourmet society card members too. Although Singh's isn't the calibre of some of the higher end Indian restaurants in Newcastle, it is an absolute must for those hunting for credible Punjabi cuisine for a fair price. 71%

Noosh - Moroccan Revamp

What was previously a very good contemporary-style restaurant with a wide range of dishes seems to have recently changed hands. But not all change is bad, and the new Moroccan theme looks to be set to please. The interior retains the same welcoming but sleek feel to it, which compliments the new menu really well. As typical to the cuisine, the dishes are rustic and wholesome, with   the added warmth of Moroccan spices that you would expect. The Fat Spoon recently indulged in their lamb shank tagine, a delicious medley of slow cooked lamb, vegetables and lentils infused with a myriad of subtle but complimentary spices. The meat being tender enough to fall off the bone with the stroke of a fork made this dish exceptionally tasty. The prices may be a little steep for some, but the offer of set menus and gourmet society card discounts make this place a worthwhile venture. The waiter was keen, but frankly a little pungent (it had clearly been a long shift for this chap). Definitely worth a visit if you fancy something a little out of the ordinary. 70%
