About Soho Tavern Gateshead
Soho Tavern Gateshead is an Indian restaurant and gastropub in Gateshead, on Kibblesworth, open daily. Its menu puts curry on pizza, with a Punjabi curry pizza and a Create Your Own option for building a topping combination. Curries such as chicken tikka masala and korma cover the more traditional side, and Peshwari naan comes as an accompaniment. Chilli chips and salt and pepper chips are ordered as sides. Orders are placed at the counter, and the team brings the food to the table. Large screens in the bar area show football, which suits groups watching a match over a meal.

Customer Review Summary
Curries draw the most praise, led by the PB XII Chicken Curry made extra spicy and a Chicken Tikka Masala at medium heat, with reviewers calling portions spot on. Close behind are the pizzas, including a Create Your Own Punjabi Curry Pizza and a lamb bhuna pizza, plus the Soho Naan and a Peshwari naan. Chilli chips and salt and pepper chips come up as sides, and one reviewer's grandfather, who says he doesn't eat this kind of thing, finished the Korma. Service is described as friendly and accommodating, with one party of 14 served together exactly as ordered and a group of 20 handled without fuss. Others mention staff explaining the menu, food arriving hot, and the new Kids Menu Thali tray. Football on large screens in the bar area adds to the atmosphere, and one reviewer says the restaurant is very busy and suggests booking before going. The one practical note is that a diner who couldn't finish everything was given proper takeaway containers and bags without any trouble.

“Went down on a Wednesday night and the place was fairly busy, with a really good atmosphere, especially with the football being shown. There are plenty of large screens in the bar area, making it a great place to enjoy the sport while having a meal. The staff were very friendly and welcoming on arrival. I was shown to my seat and given the menus, with the layout of the restaurant explained clearly. The food was amazing, with generous portions and very reasonable prices. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back again.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve used Soho Tavern to provide food for our HAF holiday camps, and the service has been fantastic throughout. The food has always been excellent, with a great variety of options that the children have really enjoyed. Everything has been well prepared, organised and delivered with a high standard of service. Providing food for a busy HAF programme isn’t always easy, but Soho Tavern have been reliable, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. A huge thank you to the whole team for supporting our camps and helping us provide quality meals for the children attending. We would highly recommend Soho Tavern and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future! ⭐️ Gateshead United fc”

“I’ve been here numerous times before for Curries and they’ve always been outstanding, so couldn’t resist trying the pizzas. I used the Create Your Own option to have the Punjabi Curry Pizza and it was incredible. I’ll 100% be back for it. Also my 89 year old, typically unadventurous Grandfather absolutely demolished the Korma and Salt and Pepper chips. He always says, “I don’t eat this kind of thing”, but loves to come here!”

“Lovely welcome on arrival. Seated quickly. Very attentive Service from Chris & staff throughout our 2.5 hour visit. Food was delicious and well presented. The Soho Naan was amazing. So much food envy when I had that placed in front of me! 14 guests and every meal served together and perfectly as ordered. Loved the new Kids Menu 'Thali tray'...looked very impressive. Will be back soon...”
