Abbey’s South Shields in South Tyneside

Used to go here years ago, when I lived in South Shields, It didn't disappoint, ordered double so I could freeze a meal.... Superb value for money...

Bhajis were like leather, chips seemed old and had been reheated. Had some chicken which smelled like bad eggs so left the rest. Never had a problem before but won't be ordering from there again.

Food is great and can't knock it, however the attitude on the delivery driver is absolutely disgusting and they need to replace him so sadly won't order again due to this

Fast service, staff very pleasant.

Nicest Indian meal we have had for a long time. Would recommend to anyone .

Perfect wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Fresh tasty no grease lovely and hot when delivered . Beautiful!

First time order , not the last .👍🏻

we were charged for 2 popadum never got them not and wrong chips. NOT the 1st time this has happened. If don't read the next order won't be coming back.

I'm a regular at this takeaway and the food and service are always too class. Would recommend this business to everyone, always a brilliant experience. Thanks very much

food was lovely, just ended up losing weight waiting for it.

great quality great drivers a+++j

would really recommend food is always perfect driver's are always friendly

Food was beautiful, pricing is good and the food arrived hot from a lovely delivery driver. Only small complaint was that food was late.

again another excellent meal and great service drivers are the best I have encountered well recommended

100/100 Top marks. Beautiful food! Thank you!

@last am authentic curr.y Full of flavour jst so tasty.

food was great but they didn't put my chips in

it's the go to Indian take away. never had a bad curry from here.

Food came 30 mins before it was due which would have been great if we were given the correct items. Gave us chips instead of naan. We don’t eat chips hence why we ordered a naan. Payed almost £30 got offered free starter but missing the free starter. Onion bhaji were cold as well. Curry’s were fine but not very hot. Rice was the best thing. Disappointed when paying so much deffo expected better :(

Was initially put off by the neon red colour but it was very tasty, light and fresh. Will try more.

Food was as always excellent, great quality and quantity. Buy from here you won't be disappointed.

Good service also curry was delicious as usual

Excellent. Huge amounts of chicken, prawns, etc. in the Mixed Special. Very tasty indeed.

Wouldn't go anywhere other than Abbeys. Not had a bad experience. Tonight however I ordered my usual and an extra curry appeared in my delivery in error. Called the shop to let them know and was told to keep it and enjoy it! Food is always amazing and service is even better!

This complaint is not for Abby's it is for two Sundays dinners I ordered on Sunday it took my money and the restraunt was closed I want my refund and how come I don't get any discount vouchers all the orders I do

First time ordering from here and won’t be the last! Arrived early piping hot, fresh and absolutely gorgeous!

10/10! The best in the business. You want the best best, then come here. Beautiful food. Thank you!

was absolutely amazing loved it

drivers always friendly and polite really recommend

Absolutely beautiful always go here we a taxi special each we are respose workers and we eat it in car lol beautiful curry x

always good service quality is always amazing

The staff curry i had off the menu waa really bad full of okra about 3 pices of chicken all so dry cld not eat it the curry went in the bin i have pictures of this normally nice from here but sorry that staff curry was vile i wont order again

Ordered over £70 worth of food for the family and everything was spot on. Nothing missing or incorrect and tasted great thank you.

Ordered chicken tikka main, vindaloo chicken, chips, rice, nan bread, sheek kebab. The chicken tikka was yesterday’s. It was hard and had a rancid taste. Also the chicken in the curry tasted rancid. I’ll stay with Viking tandoori next time. Only went here on a friend’s recommendation. Never again. Rotten. Getting money back.

food was hot and lovely as usual

food was meant to come at 8 didjt come till 4 minutes till 9 and then food arrived cold not impressed got evidence on the ring door bell

amazing curry really enjoyed it and delivery driver very friendly

Lovely tasting food,Good sized portions.Fast delivery.

Amazing food at food price. A little time to wait but well worth it

Outstanding delivery service food outstanding

Absolutely fantastic and delicious! 5 stars from me!

Everything was tremendous especially the Sri Lanka and the balti naan was perfect as it was cooked that bit longer

Missing a few bits but everything didn’t taste right. I ordered a SRI Lankan that tasted like a bland curry. My partners bread for her mushroom puree was missing and daughter’s masala was way over sweet. Sadly won’t be returning as everything was just a bit average. Chicken also wasn’t great and quite dry.

Excellent, perfect portion size, hot and quick service

I normally order from the Dilshad but have not received parts of the order for the last 3 orders so have tried different shops, all very bland and sometimes cold. We orderd from Abbey's and I can tell you we won't be going anywhere else now!! Food was hot, rice was spot on!! and the curry was probably the tastiest we've ever had!! Full of flavour! Top marks to the chef *****

Absolutely awful the curry was too sweet and it was only Luke warm worse curry ever

10/10 Unmatched. Beautiful food. Thank you.

Food nice. Issue time and again is the delivery time. 3rd time ordering and 3rd time app updates to say courier is on the way only for it to take over an hour to arrive. Been given back £3 each time for cost of delivery, however tonight's order, app said on way at 19:30, only for the lady on phone to say driver was given food 5mins ago at 20:25! At least be accurate and honest!

Turned up lukewarm and watery.

Ordered 2 hours ago Grandaughter gone home Grandson fell sleep I've gone to bed Hubbie n son still waiting for food Shocking service

Hi sorry to have to say this but order was wrong I ordered a prawn rogan Josh and a chicken rogan Josh was delivered not sure why you have a time slot as was 45 minutes late when ordered at about 6.30pm for a 19.45 slot . Yes your food is good but you must improve on customer service

Food is lovely but if you are placing an order don’t be fooled by the expected delivery times as they are NEVER correct. If you do ring to ask when it will arrive you can expect to be advised that it’s next delivery….over 2hrs later it will arrive and probably be missing something…. Update, order placed 18:44, arrived 21:15, was due 19:57 and rang 20:30 for an update and was advised it would be 20mins by a rude individual …apparently they are very busy and website times don’t need updating 🙄. I have used for over a year but service is getting worse and this is my last order.

Always great food but over the last month or so, orders have been very late

15 minutes late but still delivered hot and delicious for mothers day treat 😋

I ordered from Abbey on a recommendation. Unfortunately the food took nearly 2 hours to be delivered, despite me living 1 mile away. The madras was weak and had a thick/ bland consistency. It had no trace of spice at all. However on a bright note, the poppadoms, chapatti and sauces I ordered were spot on. Also the lamb in my madras was cooked to perfection.

Absolutely beautiful as always, wraps are amazing

Really nice food / owners. Polite, fantastic service. Well done 👏 ✔️ keep up the good work.

First time ordering here yesterday, 24/02/24 lady on phone was lovely, food was delicious! Always get nervous trying places for the first time, but can definitely say we will be ordering again! Thank you

Brilliant food !! Tried Abby’s special kebab for first time and will be getting it again !! Curry’s were perfect and tasty !! All food came piping hot !!! Shields number 1 takeaway

The last two orders from here the delivery time has kept changing and ended up being 3 hours for delivery. Tonight the delivery time was being changed again, so I rang to say we would collect instead as we have a child who was hungry. The woman on the phone was very snotty and just said you won’t get your £3 delivery fee back. Food wasn’t great, onion Bahjis were very overdone and very hard! Will not be ordering from here again and have ordered from here for years!

The food is absolutely faultless, abbeys never fails to impress. The only issue is the delivery time being late, which is a common occurrence. Well worth the wait

Been getting a curry from here for a while now and it's never disappointed, definitely recommend

Fantastic service. Fast delivery and a gorgeous meal. Definitely recommend.

First time trying, lush food, will return in a couple of weeks but will try something different 👍

The curry was mostly water and tasted of nothing

Always top quality, tasty and fast. My favourite takeaway

beautiful food hassle free delivery I highly recommend

Over an hour an a half wait for a cold food. This is abbey… more this like this rubbish

Food was stone cold over 30 mins late and my pop was missing from the order never will I be ordering again from here first time and defo my last

even tho was 5 mins late, it was well worth the wait best food iv had in a long time. defo be going back

Very tasty food and good portions.

Love it but 1 pound for a singular pompadom is just ridiculous, every other place we order from give you a few.

Order didn’t arrive I would like a refund please

Beautiful food very nice delivery driver I absolutely recommend

Lovely from here , chicken madras is tasty and the chicken is cooked to perfection

Great food from here highly recommended

Amazing food! By far, the best Indians in shields

spot on as always wouldn't go anywhere else

Food was delicious but I ordered and paid for a poppadom and didn't get it.

A++++++ Perfect in every way. Outstanding food. Thank you very much.

food is delicious piping hot friendly delivery guy only second time ive ordered but would defitely reccommend

Unfortunately no taste at all. Also asked for it to be hot and it was very mild. Unusual for this place but I feel I’ve wasted my money tonight.

Brilliant tasty food.Good sizes portions.

always great quality and flavour. portion size is spot on too. tasty madras too

Really good food, will definitely be ordering again soon! Thank you

Always delighted with my meal cooked beautifully and a pleasant delivery driver I absolutely recommend 5*

Food was fab as usual but delivery was 30 minutes late, this has never happened before, I even rang the shop to be told it had left the shop but still had to wait another 20 minutes

always good food. I don't order from anywhere else now

Lovely Good great Value for money a true authentic curry shop

Food was really good when it arrived (as always). Food was ordered at 18.20hrs, with a delivery estimate of 90 minuted. No problem with this estimate, however we didn't get our food until 20.55hrs. This was far too late (especially as Restaurant is 0.5 miles away). Restaurant should call customers if food is going to be excessively late, or provide a more accurate delivery time when order is initially placed.

Would highly recommend here the food is lovely

Beautiful, would definitely order again

Beautiful food great delivery service

I ordered and it said would be an hour or so, it updated to say it was delivered when it wasn't and when I called the restaurant to ask what was happening I was told it hadn't been made yet

Says it’s been delivered and I’m still waiting for food. Just spoke to shop and they said it would be at least another 15 mins.

Wuick service and fantastic food.

Absolutely beautiful food will definitely b bk 😋

Currys from here a lush and av tried most places in South Shields here is the best about

Beautiful food delivered in good time would recommend

Fantastic food excellent delivery service 5*
