Dabbawal, pioneer of Indian street food in Newcastle, is serving up a delicious way to tackle the midday slump – the Dabbabox – promising bold flavours, convenience and a welcome break from the ordinary.
“We know how uninspiring weekday lunches can be,” said Dabbawal owner Jaf Ali. “That’s why we created the Dabbabox – which is tasty, compact and neat. Takeaway food doesn’t have to be messy or chaotic and we wanted it to feel as close to the dine-in experience as possible. With cutlery and a wipe included, it’s a little bit of luxury made for wherever your lunch break takes you.”
With venues on High Bridge in the heart of Newcastle and in Jesmond, Dabbawal has been reimagining Indian food since 2008. There are three Dabbabox options, all inspired by the signature flavours and cooking techniques Dabbawal is famous for –
WRAPS
Roomali roti rolled around either Punjabi chicken tikka or paneer tikka – with seasonal salad, gunpowder chips and homemade chutneys.
BURGERS
A handmade patty in a soft brioche bun with salad, chutneys and gunpowder chips. Choose between a smashed lamb burger or Indian vegan burger.
CURRIES
Fragrant, slow-cooked curry served with pulao rice, salad and chutney. Take your pick from Old Delhi-style butter chicken or a fiery vegetable jhalfrezi.
Dabbaboxes can be collect from both restaurants for £10–£12.
