A North East restaurant is celebrating after being named in the list of the UK's top 100 Asian restaurants.

Raval Indian Brasserie & Bar, perched beside the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle, has proudly brought a national accolade home to the North East after being honoured at a prestigious House of Lords ceremony in Westminster.

“We are humbled and deeply grateful for this recognition,” said Nas Islam, manager at Raval.

“It’s only possible because of the incredible support we’ve received from the great people of Newcastle, Gateshead, and our wider North East family.

"Without you, we would never have achieved this — and now we’re proud to represent our region again in British Indian Restaurant Week.”

Raval is a multi award-winning restaurant located at the southern end of the Tyne Bridge, neighbouring the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead and The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.

Known for its fine dining approach to Indian cuisine, Raval combines authentic recipes with innovative presentation, using the best of British produce.
