Newcastle Tandoori restaurant put up for sale as owners announce retirement after 30 years

The site of one of Newcastle’s most established and well-regarded Indian restaurants has been put up for sale.

It comes as the team behind the restaurant announce their retirement.

Founded in 1994, Raj Tandoori has been a popular fixture of the city’s dining scene for more than three decades.

The restaurant sits on Pudding Chare in the city centre.

Christie and Co, the team tasked with selling the site, say the restaurant offers multiple acquisition routes, available either as a going concern or with vacant possession.

The property has seating for approximately 70 people, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and a premises licence.

Marslie McGregor, Senior Business Agent – Pubs & Restaurants at Christie and Co, commented, “Raj Tandoori is a truly iconic venue in Newcastle city centre, and opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare.

“Its established reputation, excellent visibility, and flexible purchase options mean prospective buyers can step into a well-known business with immediate trading potential or reimagine the space for a new concept.

“With the owners now retiring after more than 30 years, this marks the end of a memorable chapter for them, and an exciting new one for the site.”

The site is listed for £325,000. The full listing can be found on the Christie and Co website.
