Khai Khai (খাই খাই) Indian Restaurant Newcastle Upon Tyne

You'll find yourself on Queen Street in the city centre, walking into somewhere that feels genuinely unpretentious—the kind of place where they're more bothered about what's on your plate than how it looks on Instagram. Khai Khai does Indian food with real conviction, the sort of menu that tells you the kitchen knows what it's doing. The ratings speak for themselves: over a thousand reviews and sitting pretty at 4.5 stars tells you people keep coming back because the food's actually good. It's comfortable without trying too hard, busy without feeling chaotic, and the kind of spot where you can grab a curry with mates or take someone on a proper date.
