DOOD brings the ancient flavours of Persia and the Levant back to life on the Quayside of modern Newcastle. The restaurant is housed in a Grade II listed building once home to a map printing house that produced navigational charts for Newcastle’s maritime industry. Today, DOOD is more than just a restaurant. It's a place where travellers from every part of the world can come together to experience the culinary legacy of the ancient Silk Road. Every nomad that finds us is rewarded with a feast of classic Persian and Levantine dishes cooked over open flames using spices such as saffron, nutmeg and sumac first brought to Europe by ancient traders. To visit DOOD is to open your mind to different cultures and flavours. Our guests break bread with fellow travellers and step into the shoes of the nomads, merchants and adventurers whose journeys have shaped our world.
