The menu in Panis seemed very inviting, but unfortunately the quality of the food did not live up to the promise. House wine was OK and cheap enough, but if this is typical of the food offer, there is better to be had in Newcastle for the price.

We popped into Pani's for a quick meal before going to a show. The manager took us to our table and we explained that we didn't have much time .The place was quite busy but he said 'no problem', We chose our dishes and were served them in about ten minutes. The food was very tasty and served with a... More

It's always packed which is always a good sign but not so much where you have to wait for a table... More
