Dominic Lagudi, 18, and Amelia Rose Weller, 31, were charged with two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm over the alleged stabbings in Devonshire Street in the early hours of January 19.
Neither Mr Lagudi nor Ms Weller entered pleas on Wednesday and the matters were adjourned until April.
Mr Lagudi did not apply for bail, while Ms Weller made a failed attempt to be released on conditional bail.
Police said emergency services were called to the laneway about 3.35am and found two men suffering stab wounds. Both men, who are chefs at Newcastle's Sapphire Indian Restaurant, were taken to hospital. A 25-year-old man was said to be fighting for his life after being stabbed in the neck, while a 28-year-old man underwent surgery for a stab wound to his arm.
Following investigations, police arrested Mr Lagudi and Ms Weller at a home on Blue Gum Road, Jesmond about midnight Wednesday.
