Hyderabadi kitchen & bar

You're walking into something genuinely different on this stretch of Jesmond. The kitchen here knows what it's doing with Hyderabadi cuisine, which sits somewhere between the North and South in the best possible way. Expect biryani that's actually fragrant, haleem that's been slow-cooked properly, and curries built on layers of spice rather than just heat. It's the kind of place locals keep coming back to because the food tastes authentic without being precious about it. Staff are proper hospitable too—the kind who actually chat to you rather than just taking orders.
