CRACKING vegan food!! - Edit
I've been here twice, and each time never fails to be tasty and filling. This place is well priced, and is sitting in a lovely old market. Great spot.

Delicious Indian street food - Edit
Snackwallah is an absolute gem in Newcastle’s food scene. Every visit feels welcoming thanks to Rachel and her wonderful team, who are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The food is consistently fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour.
Read moreMy personal favourite is the Pickled Pakora Wrap — it’s packed with so much taste and texture that it’s even won-over several of my non-vegan colleagues! Whether you’re vegan, vegan-curious, or just looking for delicious, satisfying food, Snackwallah is well worth a visit.
Pros: Fresh, delicious food, Friendly, attentive staff, Reasonably priced

Some bad reviews must have caught them at a bad time - I was there at a Saturday afternoon and ordered, waited, got food, found a seat, ate ✔️

This is my favourite food place in the Grainger Market. I've never had a bad meal here, and pakora is tasty! Reasonably priced too.

Lovely food but service needs improvement - Edit
Visited July 2025 for lunch. We sat down at an empty table and were told to move as we hadn't yet placed an order (even though we were just about to!). When we ordered, there were limited seats and we felt very much like an inconvenience. There was 1 server who seemed quite overwhelmed and flustered, and unfortunately we saw several instances of poor interactions with customers - maybe some further support would help. When food arrived, this was all really tasty and we felt good value too. Especially enjoyed the lassi which was delicious.

Nice little place in the market. Fully vegan. Curry was ok, but wish there was a mild option.

Dissapointing - Edit
I really wanted to like this place but I was really disappointed. Staff wasn't friendly, although it was quite busy and that might be the reason. I had the curry of the day which had a kick to it, but was just really bland. The dhal had no flavour either and the the rice was slightly undercooked. I felt like I had to rush and leave as soon as I finished because there was not much seating.
Read morePros: Portion size, Price
Cons: Bland

Wish I had come sooner! - Edit
Walked past Snackwallah in the Grainger Market for years now. Wish I had come sooner! They offer dine-in and takeaway (unsure about the full menu but definitely for the wraps and baps). Very affordable - no regular curry or chaat is more than £8, and that is including rice! A good lunch-sized portion with something for everyone on the menu. I will be back to try their iced drinks too!

good at wylam! - Edit
snackwallah had a tent at the curry themed wylam food event this weekend, and we tried both their menu options. i can't remember the names but one was a sort of indian fried sandwich, which i wish i could describe better, but it was honestly great, i couldn't fault it! the second was a sort of curry with a dipping bread. this was also nice, but i didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as the sandwich, i couldve eaten that over and over again!!

Heavenly Snack Food - Edit
Friendly Service and a lovely menu all freshly made. Nice corner to sit in and watch the eclectic world of Grainger Market go by. Had main meals but best for stopping in for a snack. 100% plant based and one of the nicest Masala Chai around.
