Being a picky eater, I was very skeptical of trying 'Yum Cha', however Kingsland has made me fall in love with Yumcha!! The amazing variety of dishes, there really is something for everyone, the staff are wonderfull, service is quick and all food was wonderfull! Definanlty glad I stepped out of my comfort zone!!

Mr foongs have amazing chinese food, and amazingly affordable compared to most others!! The portion sizes are huge and always fresh and delicious.

Highly recommend them for chinese food!!

The esplanade takeway, although do have absolutely wonderfull food, really need to pick up on customer service and wait times. I waited a good 30-35minues for a few cocktail fish. The lady was a little rude and they are a little pricey, I did really enjoy my food, but will not be ehading abck due to wait times and poor customer service!

AMAZING Kebabs, and their pides are JUST as good!! They remember you by name, and order, so you don't even need to order, they just nod and ask 'the usual?' and they make it up and you're ready to go! The kebabs are beautiful, I generally have a chicken kebab, always fresh and enjoyable. Best customer service from a kebab shop ever!! If you love your kebabs, go see these guys!!!

Oasis Kebabs are sooo tasty!! They are the best kebabs I have had recently. The customer service is somewhat poor, but the great food makes up for it!! Considering the amount of drunk people they deal with everyday, I think they do well! Brilliant food, very affordable!

BRILLIANT ARTWORK. Some of newcastle's best tattoo artists work here. I have had one tattoo done by them, and a tongue piercing! Many of my friends swear by Diabolik!! The tattoo quality is just out of this world, the artists are so very talented! The piercer is also amazing, making my tongue piercing swift and painless (without any numbing agent). They were happy to answer any questions, and offer free jewellery downsizing. I highly recommend all artists at Diabolik and the piercer they are amazing! you wont regret it!!

Munchies is THE place to go for lunch, they have a good range from sandwiches and roast rolls through to fish & chips and they are huge servings! The customer service is brilliant, however wait time is soemtimes a while due to heavy business. I personally love the fish & chips or chips & gravy, and their homemade gravy is amazing!! Highly recommend!!
