About This Pub
You know, when I popped into Soami's Trio, it just felt like one of those hidden gems that makes a night out worthwhile. They've nailed the food side of things – think fresh, authentic dishes from Indian, Mexican, and Thai kitchens, all prepared with real care and a dash of creativity that keeps things exciting without going over the top. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and that personal touch that makes you want to come back. It's got this relaxed, buzzing atmosphere that's perfect for catching up with mates over a meal, and the prices won't leave you feeling short-changed either. On the downside, if you're not in the Consett area, it might take a bit of effort to get there, and with so many options on the menu, you could end up umming and ahhing over what to pick. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a proper good feed and a bit of variety, though it might not be the go-to for a classic pint-and-chat pub session.

The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing with a great buzz. Service is great, everyone is lovely, and they always remember you (I've been many times).
Every time, the food is fresh, and you can see the time and effort that is put into it. Highly recommend.
A welcoming ambience, modern decor and a relaxed and chilled vibe that enhances the dining experience.The menu has a variety of 3 cuisines and the chef has generated authenticity. The staff are welcoming and attentive. Reasonable prices. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic food and a pleasant time dining.
A 27 mile trip for a good curry...
When Soami's moved to Consett from Peterlee a few years ago, I was disappointed as I could no longer order a takeaway.
I kept Soami's in the back of my mind since they moved. Last night (1st August) me and my partner finally came to Soami's to dine and, as I knew, the food did not disappoint and it was as good as I remember.
This is what we had...
A couple of fizzy drinks then a cocktail each. I had an espresso martini (never had, it was lush but strong) & a strawberry daiquiri
I had a Korma with Pilau rice and a keema naan, while my partner had a Murg Makhani Masala with a cheese naan & chapati
Desserts were incredibly nice, we had a masala chai cheesecake and a Gajar Halwa.
100% will be coming back.
P.s the female owner and the young waitress were incredibly professional, thank you 😊
One of the best curries I have had in my life. Extensive imaginative menu beautifully cooked and served by lovely people in a smart comfortable restaurant. I’m an onion bhaajis fanatic, these were the best I’ve ever had.
I went with my sister, brother in law and their kids here for a meal last Friday and I must say it was amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly. By far the best evening we have had for years.
