Regardless, me and my partner went for a meal a few weekends ago. The service was extremely prompt, with drinks, starters and main courses arriving in record time. The main courses arrived whilst we were still eating our starters. The staff seemed friendly enough, but tended to ask if we were ok/if we were enjoying the food far too often. This general rush meant that we had no time to talk between courses, and the tables were also far too wide. I could hardly hear my partner across the table.

I opted for mix of Thai and Indian, with some form of beef ribs w/sauce for starters and a Chicken Dopiaza w/rice for main. The ribs were really fatty, and didn’t contain much meat. Due to the speed, one has to wonder whether these meals had just been microwaved.

The main was better, but wasn’t up to the standard of other Indian restaurants in Whitley Bay.

This is a nice place, the restaurant area is very nice, and there is a large model of an elephant outside. If the service was a little less punctual and in-your-face, and the food of a higher standard, then I would recommend the Siam Bay, however I won’t be in a rush to return anytime soon.
