About
Khai Khai offers a true taste of heritage Indian comfort food, crafted over fire and smoke in a charming Victorian Grade II listed building overlooking the Newcastle quayside. The menu marries authentic regional dishes with contemporary twists, while the relaxed, home‑like atmosphere invites diners to experience a warm, communal dining setting. Whether you’re sampling sizzling kebabs, savoring a fragrant biryani, or enjoying a seasonal cocktail, each bite is a journey back to the primal joy of “smoke play.”
