About This Pub

Ah, Zamorins – what a lovely find for anyone craving a proper taste of South India right here in the UK. From the reviews I've seen, the food is just brilliant; it's all about those genuine, mouth-watering dishes that transport you straight to Kerala or beyond, with everything from soft idlis to fiery biryanis done to perfection. The staff really shine too, being so attentive and cheerful, and they've got a knack for making occasions feel special, like surprising folks with a cake on their anniversary. The ambiance is another winner, all quaint and regal, like stepping into a piece of Indian history. On the downside, though, it's only open evenings, which means you have to plan around that if you're thinking of popping in after work or on a whim. And if you're not local to Whitley Bay, it could be a bit of a trek, but honestly, from what people are saying, it's worth the effort for a memorable meal with friends or family. Overall, it's a solid spot that does South Indian cuisine proud, with that high 4.8 rating speaking volumes about the good times had by all.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely spot-on, with authentic South Indian flavours that really hit the mark – think delicious idlis, spicy biryanis, and standout dishes like Kerala Pork Varattu.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and even thoughtful surprises for special occasions, like an anniversary cake.
  • The atmosphere is charming and evocative, making you feel like you're dining like royalty in a bygone era of India.
  • It's got a great selection of dishes and drinks, plus options for dine-in or delivery, which adds to the convenience.
Cons
  • It's only open in the evenings from 5 PM, so if you're after a lunchtime bite, you'll have to look elsewhere.
  • Tucked away in Whitley Bay, it might be a bit of a journey if you're not in the area, potentially putting off those further afield.

Every dish we had was absolutely amazing, but the standout was the Kerala Pork Varattu! The staff were incredibly friendly and smiley, and the atmosphere and decor were great. I’d happily travel back to Whitley Bay just for another curry here!

I’d drive to Whitley Bay JUST for another experience in Zamorins 🔥🔥 it was that good. We were recommended by friends to give this Kerala-specialised Indian Cuisine a try - they describe it as the most authentic it can get to the actual Kerala experience (I’ve travelled to Kerala before, and loved every bit of my experience there. The food is heavenly). Since we were already in Whitley Bay for a walk to get Baby Ru some fresh sea air, we thought, why not Zamorins. Our friends were right. The very first sides served along with the papadoms blew us away! Extremely rich and spicy, like none I’ve had before - the chef recommended ‘Kerala Fish Pickle’ and ‘Pineapple Pickle’ were out of the world. If you like spicy, tangy sour and you like fish, you MUST have this. The Zamorins Vegetable Briyani was a first for us - generous with condiments, standing out because of the nuts. Loved it. We also had the Goan Monk Fish Curry - I thought it’d be more coconut milk based as I remember in Kerala, but still, pleasant to the tongue. This was also accompanied by the Malai Methi Mushroom Methi, and 2 mocktails - the Virgin Alphonso and the Malabar Mind. The founders of Zamorins, Nebu & Viju, have been friends since their days in Kerala as students, all the way to Geordieland. Nearly 20 good years later, they start up Zamorins - and have been serving loyal patrons - some which travel regularly from Newcastle for their Keralan delights in Whitley Bay. Definitely recommended - especially if you want to experience authentic Indian cusine from Kerala 🔥

Every dish I ordered was an explosion of flavors.The authenticity and quality of the South Indian cuisine served here definitely surpassed my expectations. However, it wasn't just the food that impressed me. The service was impeccable. The staff at Zamorins were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their promptness and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the mea
