What People Are Saying
Loved the menu as it’s not your same old dishes they really captured the true taste of India including a fusion menu and street food menu. Nothing but an all round good experience here. Staff are kind and welcoming and always smiling. Food and wine was great. A very happy couple. 🫶Drop by and indulge in some delicious cuisine with Rohit and staff.

Loved food. Lots of options.
Don't just have the butter chicken - try one of the other dishes. Chicken Tikka masala was the best version of this I have had for a very long time. Indochinese options very authentic Have a chat to one of the owners when you are there and take their recommendations!
Bronwyn Avard
Absolutely outstanding experience at The Ark Newcastle! The food was full of authentic flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. A perfect place for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended — easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Newcastle!
