Dood Launches Silk Road-Inspired Sunday Roast on Newcastle Quayside
Newcastle restaurant DOOD is putting a new spin on one of Britain’s best-loved dining traditions with the launch of Nomad’s Sunday Roast, a Silk Road-inspired Sunday lunch served on the Quayside.
Launching Sunday 28 June and available every Sunday from 12pm to 4.30pm, the new menu combines the comfort of a traditional roast with the bold flavours, charcoal-led cooking and generous hospitality that define DOOD’s Persian and Levantine-inspired food.
Overlooking Newcastle’s Quayside, Nomad’s Sunday Roast has been designed around the simple pleasure of gathering around the table. The experience begins with Kashke Bademjan, a rich aubergine dip served with freshly baked taftoon bread, before guests choose from a selection of signature mains.
At the heart of the menu is the Lamb Ouzi Roast, featuring 12-hour slow-cooked lamb shoulder served with carrot and walnut purée and rich sabzi jus. Other options include Morgh-e-Bereshte, a harissa-roasted baby chicken cooked until golden and succulent, Mahi Kababi, house-spiced grilled barramundi, and Mangal Cauliflower, an Advieh-spiced cauliflower steak chargrilled on the mangal with roasted pumpkin seeds, barberries and chilli oil.
Each main is served with batata and roasted parsnips, with optional extras including Hellimli Yorkshire, flavoured with halloumi, dried mint, nigella and sesame seeds, and home-cut Aleppo chips served with garlic sauce.
Desserts continue the regional influence, with a choice of Riz Bi Haleeb, a delicate vanilla and rose rice pudding, or date tart served with pistachios and crème fraîche
Priced at £30 per person, or £37 with dessert, Nomad’s Sunday Roast reflects the same philosophy that runs throughout DOOD’s offering: generous plates, bold flavours and unhurried hospitality.
“Sunday lunch is one of Britain’s great dining rituals,” says DOOD manager Federico Khamaneh.
“With Nomad’s Sunday Roast, we wanted to honour that tradition while introducing some of the flavours and ingredients that inspire our kitchen. It’s designed for sharing, gathering and spending time together around the table.”
Located on Newcastle’s Quayside, DOOD celebrates the foodie influence of Persia, the Levant and the wider Silk Road through dishes cooked over the mangal and served with warmth and generosity.
Nomad’s Sunday Roast launches Sunday 28 June and will be available every Sunday from 12pm to 4.30pm. For reservations and further information, visit thedood.co.uk.
