Now by now, you’ll know I’m an advocate of a Paleo diet, for those who don’t know what Paleo is it’s eating like a caveman quite simply. I get awful pains in my stomach if I eat carbs; bread, pasta, rice. So when The Naked Deli opened on Chillingham Road in June 2014 I was in my element.
Being a frequent visitor and enjoying some of the finest Paleo dishes I’ve ever had, from line-caught salmon and chargrilled vegetables
On Tuesday I was doing a bit of my favourite kind of cardio, shopping in Newcastle and was feeling hungry. As I’m back on my health kick to lose weight for my friend’s wedding in May, I’m back on the Slenderiiz and eating clean so in a hurry, I stopped by the gorgeous revamped Fenwick’s Food Hall which gives Harvey Nics & Selfridges a run for their money and ogled over The Naked Deli chiller counter.
My eyes hit the halloumi salad and I instantly thought YUM, halloumi is my ultimate favourite cheese (even before Nandos was a big hit). Then I saw Cajun swordfish and I knew I had to have it. Priced at £4.95 this was a true steal
What kind of food does The Naked Deli Newcastle sell?
In a spin at The Naked Deli
Swordfish is my second favourite fish, after halibut, it’s delicious and meaty (rich coming from a pescatarian). The Cajun swordfish was exceptional and teamed with the raw slaw was an absolute winner! I’m a spiralizer obsessive, anything spiralized I am instantly in love with. It always tastes much healthier and more flavoursome.
Cajun Swordfish
I tried their Cajun swordfish paired with raw slaw, and it did not disappoint. As a pescatarian, swordfish is one of my favourite fish options and this particular dish was exceptional. The Cajun seasoning added a great kick to the meaty and flavuorful swordfish. The real standout, however, was the raw slaw that accompanied it. As a self-proclaimed spiralizer obsessive, anything spiralized instantly catches my eye. The combination of courgette, carrot, onion, red cabbage, and a few spinach leaves was fresh, crunchy, and incredibly delicious.
While the raw slaw was meant to be dressed in mango, I opted out of this as I found it a bit too sweet and did not want to detract from the flavours of the Cajun swordfish.
Avocado Dessert
The dish was a true winner and left me feeling satisfied and energised. To finish off my meal, I indulged in an Avocado Chocolate Torte, which was heavenly. It was packed full of goodness, leaving me feeling slightly naughty but still quite healthy.
If I worked in the city centre, The Naked Deli would definitely be my go-to lunch spot. The food is clean, healthy, and most importantly, delicious. It’s no wonder they have gained such popularity in the industry. If you haven’t visited yet, I highly recommend you do so.
