Mantra Thai Dining in Newcastle upon Tyne

Always a lovely welcome, some of the best service in Newcastle. Food is always delicious.

The food was great, best green curry I ever had, the fried rice was impressively perfect. It would be nice to get better suggestions on the homemade sections. And the background music is a bit too loud.

Absolutely superb 👌. Last visited 6 years ago and was as good as i remember.

Had a lovely tasty meal at Mantra tonight. Will definitely be back soon! Great service too x

Lovely meal for NYE. I thought it was a little expensive for the portions and the taste wasn’t the most authentic when you compare to Thai House Cafe or Bangrak Thai. However, it was an overall pleasant experience.

Arrived without booking ahead of an event at the Arena. Shown to a table within two minutes. Modern relaxed atmosphere. Service very good. Food excellent. Very tasty, nicely presented. Would definitely return allowing more time to enjoy

We had a delicious meal here over Christmas. Tasty, fresh food and great service, I’d highly recommend Mantra if you’re looking for somewhere to eat in Newcastle.

Good Thai food in nice surrounds

Been here before lovely food ,great service would definitely recommend.

High quality food with a mesmerising service from our waiter.

Very nice stay. A hotel worth recommending. High-level service. Nicely decorated room.

Our favourite Thai restaurant and regular visitor

Amazing authentic traditional Thai dishes. Lovely staff and service! A must to go to and return too. Highly recommend!

Came here for our wedding anniversary dinner after a visit to the pantomime Lovely food, lovely staff, great service No complaints whatsoever Thank you for a lovely evening

Experiencia decepcionante. Habíamos reservado para las 5 de la tarde para darnos un montón de tiempo para llegar a un evento cerca. Después de que se tomó nuestra orden, después de una aceptable de 30 mis, en los siguientes 20 minutos se nos acercó dos veces y se nos preguntó si estábamos listos orden. Después de media hora se nos acercó para decirnos que habían perdido el pedido y que podían volver a tomarlo. Ya no teníamos tiempo para una comida completa ahora, así que solo pedí un plato principal. Cuando llegó nuestra comida estaba bien, pero teníamos que apresurarnos, pedí la cuenta, pero terminé teniendo que perseguir esto. Al liquidar la factura, y ahora tarde, me ofrecieron una disculpa por el servicio y un 10% de descuento. Acepté esto y me fui. Más tarde, al ver el recibo, vi que la reducción del 10 % era, de hecho, el cargo por servicio discrecional. Se pueden cometer errores, y rara vez escribo críticas negativas, sin embargo, pensé que la manera en que se estaba reduciendo el proyecto de ley mientras mi partido claramente tenía prisa estaba en marcha. No vamos a volver, y me gustaría aconsejar a cualquier otro cliente a ser consciente.

We had an amazing time trying their Adventure through Thailand tasting menu. The staff were so kind and gave us so much detail about the history and culture behind the food. There was also so much attention to detail, even our names on the menus! So professional and on the whole amazing tasting food. The most authentic Thai in Newcastle hands down!!

Gorgeous food and restaurant. Always amazing service when we have visited and the food is such good quality. The early evening menu is great value too. If you enjoy Thai food you have to try mantra Thai. The mantra magic drink is a must try!

We recently experienced Mantras 8 course tasting menu and couldn’t fault a thing - food was faultless, staff were attentive and knowledgeable and the restaurant is as beautiful as the food

El lugar, la decoración y la calidad de la comida es simplemente increíble, se paga por la buena calidad y el servicio excepcional. Esto es tan bueno y Newcastle necesita lugares más destacados como Mantra Thai. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

No podría recomendar este restaurante lo suficientemente alto para la calidad de su comida y servicio. Absolutamente deliciosa comida y el servicio es de primera categoría, incluso cuando está lleno. Si visitas Newcastle y te encanta la comida tailandesa, debes poner este restaurante en tu lista.

Absolutely flawless restaurant in every way. Food is consistently exceptional, service is incredible and the restaurant itself is gorgeous. We would dine here every week! Thank you for a brilliant dining experience. (@the.northlife on Instagram)

6/5 🤩🤩🤩 I am soooo in-love with this place 🥰🥰 It is sooo perfect 🥰 The ambience is perfect. The food is mouthwatering. The staffs are great! Been here twice already, but pretty sure I will come back 😉

I had the King Prawn Choo Chee curry and squid tentacles with Thai sticky rice on Sunday evening - one of the loveliest meals I have ever had in my life. The service is excellent - the servers are very attentive; always checking to make sure I had the best time of my life that I didn’t even feel like I had the meal all by myself. Definitely worth it and will come again for sure!

No he estado aquí por muchos años y para una ocasión especial eligió aquí. Estaba bastante decepcionado, en primer lugar las bebidas dos veces tardaron años en llegar. Incluso cuando estaba bien con el personal de pie. El asiento que teníamos estaba en la parte superior de las escaleras y al ser una noche ajetreada me sentí molestado por la gente arriba y abajo. Por la comida. Los entrantes eran preciosos y llegaron rápido, pedimos un pequeño descanso antes de la principal, pero aparecieron con ellos después de unos minutos. Las porciones eran bastante pequeñas, solo un poco de carne. Por el precio que esperaba más. Siento que este lugar está sobrevalorado y caro. Hay mejores lugares en la ciudad. Es hermoso por dentro y la mayoría del personal era encantador, pero era mucho o el personal simplemente se paró o se preguntaba por.

Amazing food and service! Best steak I've ever had! Highly recommended 👌

Food was really delicious and staff was really helpful. Everything was spot on. Can’t wait to go back again.

Very good food, good portions and excellent service

Good food had the tempura king prawns for a starter they were delicious

We booked Thai Mantra for 70 people when filming in Newcastle and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The staff were so kind, the food was delicious and we'll be visiting again when we return to newcastle. Thank you AiR and the rest of your lovely team.

Really romantic lovely places with delicious & authentic dishes. My favourite are the desserts.

Food was nice but portions weren't huge, especially the rice. Considering it cost £5 there could have been more. The food is expensive and didn't appreciate a 10% service charge being added to bill. I don't recall this on the menu and we certainly weren't informed of it.

Service was a bit slow but maybe it was a Friday night and busy but overall good experience

Food always fantastic and very well presented. Service excellent and attentive - very friendly. Nice ambience. This is my favourite Thai restaurant in Newcastle and well worth a visit 👍🏻I most recently came with a larger group of friends and service was still excellent. Recommend pad Thai, chicken satay skewers and dumplings. Lunch time menu is good value for money.

Really delicious Thai food, and a great location near the Quayside and hotels. Very much enjoyed the chicken Massaman curry. Recommended!

Really delicious Thai food, and a great view over Newcastle city centre. Recommended!

Denne resturanten er et must om du er i Newcastle! Maten var fantastisk! Og personalet var svært vennlige. Anbefales på det sterkeste

Starter was amazing. Main was ok, not happy about a service charge of £10 to serve 2 people

Had a lovely Sunday night dinner at Mantra Thai. The food was fresh and tasty. I'd recommend the satay chicken and thai green curry plus sticky rice. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere was full. Good gluten free options. Ideal locations for a pre/post dinner walk down the Tyne

This is one of the best Thai restaurants you will ever visit the service, and staff are efficient and friendly. The food is excellent. The pork skewers are moist and succulent, and the duck with honey with tamarind is one of my favourites. My only criticism is that they are not nearer London. Having said that, I would probably put on twice my weight! I can not recommend this restaurant enough and is a must to anyone who visits Newcastle.

This was more upscale than we recognised when we decided to go, and that translated into small portions at hefty prices. Nearly £20 for a small plate of curry? £4.50 for a bowl of rice? (You can buy a box of rice for that!) I mean, it was good in flavour, but nothing outstanding. It was also disappointing to find they only have a children's menu until 5 pm, which meant that our children had to order adult portions, which of course they didn't finish. There were lots of young staff and they were all friendly. The glasses of water were tiny and we had to keep asking for refills, since they wouldn't just bring us a big jug. We did like the flavour, but felt we were mostly paying for the fancy decor.

Amazing food, great atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again

Lovely restaurant, good service, but the portion sizes were terrible, think we paid 18 quid for ONE soft shell crab , the prawn pad Thai had 5 prawns , no peanuts or ground chilli , beef chilli Basel was tiny and beef was chewy,. Cost £100 for two people, not value for money 😔

A bit more focus on bling than amazing food.

Great place to dine - good authentic Thai food - would recommend

My first visit with a friend for lunch. The food was excellent as was the service. I'm not a regular visitor to the city but it's pretty well on the edge, has it's own car park and is next to a multi storey car park for any spillover. The prices were reasonable but that was during "restaurant week" when quite a few restaurants offer special deals so not certain enough of value to safely give five stars. A lovely spotless venue for gatherings.

A birthday treat for my little boy, the food was delicious and service brilliant and attentive. Thank you so much. We will be back next time we are in Newcastle.

Our favourite restaurant in Newcastle Staff attentive and super polite from the welcome all the way through the meal until leaving Amazing Cocktails Consistently Fresh , clean tasting authentic food with every visit Tom Yum soup remains our favourites . Galangal , Lemon grass and just the right heat tube as much as you can take

we went for a restaurant week special offer. however, on looking at the prices we were only saving £2.50 and the portions were obviously smaller than regular price so really no saving. all the food was lukewarm and obviously not cooked fresh. we like our food hot. no one came and asked us if the food was okay or we would have said this. dont believe in automatic service charge of £12 as we did not get good food or service. wont be back again

Food is always fabulous. Mantra staff are the best in Newcastle , can't praise them enough. We go here often and love the food, the lunch menu is excellent value.

Very tasty food, staff very friendly.

Been there twice during our stay in Newcastle. Service is spot on, everybody is so friendly, we even ordered take aways for next day ensuring that we’ll come back. Very delicious food, pad thai really nice and balanced in flavour, same as soft shell crab curry. Second time we had seafood player and coconut chicken mushroom soup. Very nice, with a kick of chillies. Sea bass was wonderful as well. It’s been a while since we had such a nice oriental experience. Definitely recommend if you’re into thai cuisine or you want to try something new. Regards to waiters and managers who remembered us from first day.

Food was lovely,staff friendly well worth a visit

Excellent food, excellent ambiance, excellent service. Food was 10/10! Definitely recommend.

I can’t fault this place. My third visit and the food is always impeccable. There’s so much choice but I keep coming back to the Lamb Shank Penang curry. Very authentic and generous portion, the lamb is so tender. My partner got the Thai Red Curry with beef. We share Salt and Chilli spare rips with the Duck Spring Rolls to start, aswell as the crackers which are simple but great. Washed down with draught Tiger🤌🏼. Great service, great food and a nice atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food and service

Nice place and Food so Yummy Best Thai in UK!!

Food and service is absolutely first rate! Cannot praise them enough! Booking to avoid disappointment is recommended.

Terrific food and service. Can't fault them!

I had my first visit here a couple of weeks ago the food was amazing and fresh and the staff couldn’t do enough to make sure you have an amazing experience.

I really enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant. Attentive staff who took care of what we needed. Food was top notch and we will definitely return to this place. The mint chocolate served on the end is absolutely delicious.

Service is absolutely amazing very welcoming on arrival. The Food is 10/10 absolutely delicious all in all an amazing place highly recommend

Had a lovely evening meal here whilst visiting the city. Pleasant atmosphere and kind staff. I would recommend the Moo Ping starter.

I booked this restaurant for a friend's birthday. I chose this restaurant after seeing previous reviews that said the service was good and that employees would sing happy birthday on his birthday, but in fact there was not. There is no student discount now, and the price of chicken skewers has been increased from 4 skewers to 3 skewers.

Went in for a late lunch around 3.30 and had a selection from the 2/3 course early evening menu. Food was excellent and the service was exemplary. It was a little more expensive than other Thai restaurants I have visited but it didn't feel like unfair pricing. The building is beautifully decorated, the staff were very attentive to our needs and you could see the food was made with fresh ingredients. A great experience overall and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.

I have been here several times. food is always perfectly presented and wonderful in taste and flavour. Large menu selection too.

Nice Place to been! Good food, lovely Service and Nice Location!

Gorgeous food, staff are lovely, I go here frequently as the food is so good

Service is nice but all curry tastes the same, all Thai red curry with coconut milk. We went as a group of 6, it’s £60 per head place but when we shared our dishes we were disappointed to find out all curry tasked the same.

Impeccable service, delicious set lunch, flavourful green curry, couldn’t fault anything if I tried! I only wish this restaurant was local to me!

Best Thai place ever! Got the ribs, golden parcels and the chicken satay (all shared) Then for my main I had the beef red Thai curry with sticky rice. The service is very very good and food is also very very yummy 🤤! 5 stars. Sunday 5th June. Also get prawn crackers while you wait for your food.

Excellent service and food. My first visit was good. I have since returned, again for lunch. The staff were excellent on each occasion. I shall definitely be returning.

What a gem of a place this is beautiful food fresh and delicious

Probably the best Thai restaurant I had tried in the UK. Food is authentic and very nice and lovely staffs. Reasonable price and very good environment.

Amazing food, good service and a lovely place to eat. Would highly recommend. 😎😎

Good food, service was wonderful and it had such a lovely ambience

Lovely restaurant- really lovely and helpful staff making us feel so welcome. Food delicious

The best Thai I ever had! Amazing service and amazing atmosphere!

Overall, the 8-course tasting menu at Mantra Thai Newcastle is a feast, offering a well-rounded and immersive experience of Thai cuisine that leaves a lasting impression.

Absolutely fabulous atmosphere and service. Lovely decor and was good with our large group of 9 people

Amazing food. Staff were absolutely fantastic and lunch menu excellence value, starter/main and selected drinks (Mantra magic 🤤 and Prosecco) £55 including tip.

Superb food & very attentive service. Highly recommended.

Amazing restuarant! unforgettable experience. ❤

I visited Mantra Thai today with my family. The food was lovely. Staff so friendly, helped us with our son who is only 6 year old and very fussy with the food. Great relaxing atmosphere with the quiet music in the background. My wife had a Birthday and the Staff came and sang her Happy Birthday, we were all very surprise, it was so kind of them. We definitley come back. The only thing I would sugest to the owner of the restaurant is add some kids menu, maybe some fruit shoot drink or something similar. Thank you Matra Thai.

Lovely food and great service! The Lamb Massaman was beautiful. The nicest lamb I’ve ever had.

This was our first visit ( I have absolutely no idea why?? I have been meaning to come for ages).. I'll blame Covid 🤭 Decided to bring my niece here for her birthday. We were all very impressed. Great service and lovely food. Wouldn't hesitate to return and looking forward to doing so 👌

Superb, as always! Food, service, everything was spot on!

A modern deco setting with a separate bar area for a drink before your Thai meals. Good ambient and great food, throw in good companies and you will have a whale of time.

Food was great and served quick.

Food was excellent but the service was too slow. We were not attended even though we were on time and the table was free. During the dinner time also took too long from taking our orders to up to getting our mains. Surely the atmosphere and the food is of exceptional quality which is then reflected in the price but to us it seemed quite on a higher end, especially the starters.

Food and service were excellent. They added a 10% service charge at the end automatically, which I didn't notice until I had already left a tip on the table. I won't be returning to any restaurant that does this, hence the lower review. (The 10% was around £35 on the size of the bill, not a small amount!). This is a horrible American practice that is finding its way over here, and should not be allowed.

Rarely visit same place twice, and really happy with the food that tastes authentic, plenty of options, and surprisingly really good cocktails.

Amazing. Absolutely recommend and would happily return.

Combining the two friendliest people in the world (Geordies & Thais) with the best Thai food makes this place a MUST go for anyone visiting NCL. The best Thai food I’ve had in the Uk over 15 years. I will come back to NCL just to have food here…

Absolutely stunning food. Me and my daughter went for dinner we had a buggy and they could not be any more helpful the 2 men carried the buggy up and back down the stairs for for us. They were all really polite and very pleasant. Fabulous food and absolutely amazing staff. 10/10 will defo be returning…

Simply superb! Wonderful restaurant. Top notch service and the food was right up there. Will definitely recommend this restaurant and we look forward to coming back when next in Newcastle.

This IS located near my home. And all was good.

Absolutely exquisite food, faultless service, a beautiful setting - made lunch into an event and brightened up a wet Thursday afternoon!

Beautiful food but slow service

Very nice place to have some good Thai food. Excellent service. Good option for conversation and business and dating. A bit expensive.

Great food selection beautifully presented by friendly staff. The food is really tasty with a good selection
