Dabbawal
Newcastle, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Dabbawal takes its name from Mumbai's lunchbox couriers and its menu from Indian street food, served on High Bridge in central Newcastle. The format is small plates rather than the curry-house template: chaat, kati rolls off the griddle, a Goan fish curry, things designed to be ordered several at a time and shared across the table. Vegetarians get a genuine share of the menu rather than an afterthought section. At around £14 a head it works as a weekly habit rather than a special outing, which is exactly how the city uses it. High Bridge is a narrow lane of independent places, and this is the one that stays busiest through the week.
