Negombos in Newcastle is a hidden gem for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine! As a Sri Lankan, I can confidently say this is one of the best places I’ve visited. The food truly captures the essence of home, with generous hospitality that warms your heart. They were incredibly kind and welcoming, even treating us to ginger plain tea and an incredible cashew curry, which added such a special touch to our experience. Every curry was bursting with flavor, but the standout for me was the mutton curry—took me straight back to my mom’s cooking. If you visit, don’t miss out on the mutton curry! What a fantastic name, too—“Negombos”! Wishing them the best and highly recommending this spot to anyone who loves good food. Thank you for such an amazing experience, Negombos!”

We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! 😊

Well this is a hidden little gem, the food is amazing, the noodles and curry are stunning, but for me the kottu is the stand out, love the chicken and beef but the mutton WOW. We tried here for a change now it's a regular, all food is freshly made to order as you wait very good. …More reviews

We tried here for a change now it's a regular, all food is freshly made to order as you wait very good. Also the rooms,buns and the rest of the take away snacks wow but beware of the gunpowder triangle if you like heat 🥵 it's the one to go for. Every is spiced perfect if heat is there you can still taste all the flavours. I would highly recommend not to be missed

Food was definitely worth the travel from Lancaster. Service was excellent as they were very friendly and accommodating. We had an al fresco dining experience. I would recommend this place especially for those who are craving for authentic Sri lankan cuisine.

Absolutely cracking family run place - quietly tucked away you could easily miss it. Small batch hand cooked Sri Lankan dishes such as Kottu & Devilled styles head up the menu along with a range of fried rice / curried dishes & ‘short eats’ such as the notorious mutton roll & gunpowder triangle. Authentic, well spiced food served by a lovely team whose passion shines through its service & dishes. And yep . . superb value for money too. Lucky to have such a place so local.

I had the full English breakfast with toast, tomatoes, hash browns, beans, sausages, mushrooms, bacon, and eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted fantastic. It was hearty and satisfying, just what you need to start the day. They also have a great selection of lunch options, snacks, desserts, and drinks. The cakes are a must-try – they’re delicious and go perfectly with their coffee. The place has a cozy atmosphere and the staff are super friendly. It’s perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. If you’re looking for a new daily spot for breakfast or lunch, give Negombos a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing food, amazing people. One of the best place in Newcastle to try authentic Srilankan cuisines. Limited dine-in space, highly recommended for take-aways. Priced less compared to the quality of food offered. Must try place for spicy food lovers!!!

This is a small local establishment that offers Sri Lankan takeaway, though it does have two tables that allow a small group to eat in. We got two of the boneless lunch boxes (deviled chicken, and beef bistake) with two iced lattes. The food was flavourful and very nicely cooked and seasoned, and the portions were very reasonable considering the price of 5.99. Wouldn't mind a little less ice and more coffee in the latte, but it tasted very good all the same! We also tried two of the fresh pasties out of curiosity, both of which were crispy and delicious. All came to about £21. Definitely recommend visiting and we will be returning again to try some of the other lunchtime dishes. Edit: Quick addendum to say that the owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the premises were clean, cosy and well kept. Great experience!

This is the first place in the city to offer an authentic experience. The selection of 'short eats' are outstanding and they've really balanced the flavours to suit all tastes. You can also find some Sri Lankan drinks and treats that are unavailable elsewhere. Though Sri Lankan food is not so well known to those who haven't been there, I would highly recommend this little café to anyone wanting to try something new. Lovely owners too!
