Cant fault the service, the food, the restaurant itself was nice (good to see it busy and thriving). The bill at the end didnt break the bank and we all left saying "id go there again" which we dont say a lot in town as theres a lot of mediocre places (chains)

Absolutely fantastic service tonight, first time we've been in and it won't be the last. The food was tremendous! I had the Jalfrezi and it was deliciously hot thanks again for the great service.

Nice food at Sachins. Situated at the back of the Newcastle train station, you enter via a small lobby, and are shown to your table. Service was good, and drinks were regularly brought to our table. Good selection of dishes available, although one of our orders was incorrect and we had to send it back which was a little disappointing. Overall, an enjoyable evening.

Take it from a person from India- this place serves some amazing delicious Indian food. Some really wide range of options on the menu.
Reservations recommended on weekends.

Excellent service. Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Covid is so difficult for businesses at the moment and eating out can be a bit traumatic. So finding a restaurant that puts themselves out so much to give great customer service is an absolute find.
