The Thali House

Time and tide wait for no man, so said Geoffrey Chaucer. Well in this little tranquil corner of Newcastle the time goes slowly and if your lucky enough to have a window seat you can watch the tide ebb from the House of Tides....... From being greeted to seated and throughout the evening the service was impeccable with an attentive relaxed smile. The star of the show, small but perfectly formed gastronomic delights, served with a description that doesn't leave you guessing what your next course is. The building is fantastic, lots of old original features blending seamlessly with very modern cuisine. It's not going to be the cheapest dinning option in Newcastle but it was never designed to be, it may however be the best and I believe you really will struggle to find better service. Nothing was rushed and it was a fantastic evening. Thanks 🙏

We went on Saturday for the taster menu, and it was superb! The service from Alice was excellent, and the food was incredible. Would recommend the wine pairing too, as this was exquisite and added to the experience. Will definitely be back, the sooner the better.

We really enjoyed the Sunday steak frites. Great portions and lovely well cooked steak. Lovely surprise to get free seconds of steak and chips.

My daughter and I visited House of Tides while travelling from Coventry to Newcastle to celebrate her 12th birthday, and what we experienced was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for, and that feeling never left us. Every single member of the team delivered service at a level that is incredibly rare. It wasn’t just professional it was warm, thoughtful, and deeply human. You could feel the pride, passion, and love for what they do in every interaction. I won’t mention individual names because everyone was exceptional, but it was a privilege to meet Chef Patron Ken Atkinson and the incredible kitchen team behind this magic. For my daughter Victoria, this was beyond a meal it was an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. Seeing her excitement, joy, and amazement throughout the evening is something I will cherish forever. The team made her feel truly special, and that is something you simply cannot put a price on. The food… honestly, words fall short. Each dish was flawless, beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavour. It was without question the best food experience of our lives. Every course felt like a story being told, with precision, creativity, and soul. If I had to rate the service and memories on a scale of 1 to 10, the only honest answer would be 100. This was not just dining it was artistry, hospitality, and emotion combined at the highest possible level. We wholeheartedly recommend House of Tides to anyone looking for something truly special. This evening will stay with us forever, and we promise we will return. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
