Aramee Bangladeshi & Indian Restaurant in North Tyneside

Another visit to this excellent place, food was perfect, starters and especially the mains ,lamb vindaloo and chicken tandoori. Service was excellent. We took our own drinks as it doesn’t have license. Well worth another visit.

We’ve just enjoyed a really delicious meal at Rajapur, the mixed tikka starter and paneer starters were lovely, hot and full of rich flavour as were the main courses of keema tikka and prawn sag. Definitely as good as the curry we enjoyed whilst living in West Yorkshire many years ago. So glad to rediscover this little gem in North Shields, different name but the same fabulous chef and very friendly and helpful staff, thank you Mo for looking after us so well 😁

The best Indian food I have had in a long time. Extremely kind staff and you can bring your own alcohol inside! Highly recommend dining here.

My son said this was his favourite ever curry meal which we all agreed. He said” if I was on Britains got talent then I would press the golden buzzer 100 times if I tasted that curry and the Bhuna prawn on puri was the best ever!!!!! 11/10 😃 Hector age 8 North Shirlds

We ordered a take out from the restaurant in advance to be delivered at a specific time. The order was 40 minutes late and stone cold when it arrived. We contacted the restaurant to chase up the order when it was 20 minutes late and they were really unhelpful. When it did eventually arrive we were missing parts of the order and the poppadoms were completely smashed to pieces, photo attached, The meal cost us almost £50 and I feel completely robbed, we will not be using this restaurant again.

I visited with my family and really enjoyed the food. The mango lassi was great and helped to temper the heat of the curry. Be aware that the fresh chili's that they use can be very hot! I was pleased to see that they mentioned which dishes contained sugar. The service was polite and prompt and the prices reasonable

Great service. Both starters and main course excellent, plenty of flavour, good quality and of course good size portions. Bring your own booze, not a problem.

Delicious food great service, wide menu choice, some unusual options. Recently reopened seated restaurant. Well priced. Generous portions

Can’t fault the quality of the food or the prompt delivery but there is always an issue with the order, important elements of the meals missing which constantly has to be addressed with the restaurant. They always send the missing parts but it takes at least 10 mins. This has happened more than 7-8 times now which ruins the meal. Very disappointing

Order from here all the time. Food is delicious! The delivery can be a bit slow but the people who deliver it are friendly and polite so makes up for the time taken. ( Could be, that their very popular so are very busy.)

Fancied something spicy so opted for this place based on reviews. Have to say I wasn't disappointed. The chat was really great - a different take to the normal. The curry was nicely spicy too. The only downside (hence the 4) was the naan was a little dry. But definitely worth a visit (or a takeaway).

My wife & I just had our first takeaway curtesy of a menu dropped through our letter box today and boy did it deliver!!!! We have not tasted food as good in a long time ( and we have some good restaurants in Whitley Bay) Outstanding quality, taste,quantity & service, these staff know how to deliver customer service and when restaurants reopen we will be booking a table not only for us but also our friends. Keep up the great work and please do not let negative comments affect what you do. Totally Amazing!!!!!

1st time here,food very poor! Rice was chewy and tasteless no veg in it, madras was watery and no spice or taste at all, masala sauce tasted overly sweet and sour at the same time, chips were dry and tasted of old fat,5 of us ate it and none of us enjoyed it, worst curry we’ve had in a long time

Best curry i've had in a long time. Lamb Laziz on new year's eve was very tasty. Friendly staff. Would recommend

First time we have ordered from this takeaway, it won't be the last! Our order is difficult to get right as a takeaway, garlic nan, a couple of chicken tikka shaslik's and two sauces, as in a restaurant it's served on a sizzler. This was one of the best we have had, eating in or takeaway, absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked, generous portions and so tasty. The guys were super friendly too. It's great to have such a good Indians back in North Shields. We were recommended this food and i can safely pass that recommendation on.

Hi We ordered tonight based on the reviews but the lamb was tough and had gristle in it. The curries were supposed to be mild to hot but both could have been Tindaloo and we are going to slow cook them tomorrow with tomato and in a slow cooker...I do not know how this restaurant achieved the ratings it has and would never recommend it to any friends.

We ordered a takeaway meal from here tonight and it was absolutely delicious! The Murgh Mango was gorgeous and the chicken tikka masala and sag paneer were spot on too! The meal was piping hot when it arrived and delivery didn’t take long either which was good considering it was a bank holiday weekend. We will definitely be back, highly recommend!

First time I have ordered from here and best Indian I have ever had. Ordered chicken kashmiri for whole family and had plenty of banana and chicken was really tender. Would highly recommend. Even the chips tasted fab.

Been a few times on a Thursday for the special. Been top notch every time. Soft lamb fluffy rice garlic naan. Poppadoms dips and starters. Only 9.95. Considering a takeaway is almost the same price for 2 these days I consider this a real bargain. Oh and the staff are very nice.

Went here for the first time WOW food was amazing fresh and hot starter and curry rice and nan and spicy chips where lush to if you haven’t been before its defo worth a visit

Visited Thursday for a thursday night special (2nd time in a few weeks). Can't fault the place. Service and food first class. We'll be back shortly 👍

Fabulous food and service, complimentry popadoms and dips to start makes all the difference, starter and main meal was delicious as usual and highly recommended

We had a first class meal last night - the restaurant was about half full and the service was excellent. Food was the usual high standard, we eat at Aramee every couple of months as we like to patronise the local businesses. The atmosphere in the place was particularly friendly with conversations piping up between strangers on nearby tables! I've never had a disappointing meal at Aramee and it's excellent value for money. This is the first time I've bothered to write a review though - don't know why! We will be back for more another day.

It's not often we take advantage of what's on our doorstep but last night we did and it was a fantastic decision. Aramee Restaurant was bright and airy with a comfortable atmosphere. Staff were friendly, professional and helpful. Four of us ordered different dishes and from everyone's reactions, we had to try each one - they were that tasty. Every mouthful was a taste sensation and I finished everything. Normally when I go out to eat, I'm so full and there's always food left. However, Aramee is one of the first restaurants where I wished there was more because it tasted that good.We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will be back. It's such a pleasure to find a jewel so close to home and would highly recommend a visit.

It was Saturday night at Easter and I was surprised to find we were the first diners of the evening, it remained quiet for a while but soon filled up. The food was fabulous and filling, the waiting staff friendly. We had a lovely evening and stayed much longer than we had anticipated such was the atmosphere. Very good value for money.

Thursday night is special night and it certainly was special. Good food very well priced. First time I have been and nothing at all to complain about. Excellent staff, attentive and polite. I'll be back.

Stunning service and even better food, perfect for a last minute date night, 10 out of 10 would come again

We visited here twice over the last month had lovely meal both times. We had friends over from different city and they enjoyed it so much that they asked if we could go back. Anyone who has been here for a meal before knows that it is one of the best if not the best in the North East.

A wonderful restaurant that I would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the best Indian food whether they want takeaway or experience their wonderful service and family atmosphere.

We went with two friends on a Thursday evening. The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful, proper old fashioned Indian cooking. Delicious. We have been back twice since and each time it maintained the same very high standards.

A large family get-together and it was not just myself who was impressed with the food here. I cannot recommend it enough...

I have been to this establishment for 20

Me and my mates have been here multiple times over the last 10 years and it never disappoints.. really top quality food, nice staff and nice atmosphere. Brilliant local restaurant.

as stated its defo one of the best places for a curry , chicken chat starter then I had chicken madras it had large pieces of meat in it and it was cooked perfect .

First time going to this restaurant but certainly not the last. Meal was fantastic staff were very friendly and was a lovely evenin

We visited aramee with friends on a Thursday which is a special night, basically a 3 course meal for £10. There is a choice of about 5 starters and main courses, but I think you can choose something from the main menu if you prefer. All in all a very pleasant experience, excellent food and 1st class service

Certainly one of the best Asian restaurants in my experience. Having spent my first 40 years in the West Midlands , including regularly visiting the “ Balti triangle “. Good food, beautifully presented, with impeccable white linen cloths and napkins and Friendly staff .

Had a nice meal Friday night. Restaurant is clean and staff friendly. Very quiet sitting in restaurant it’s small but nice and warm. Prices and food ok.

We had a table booked for 7.00pm. No one bothered to take our order and we noticed the people on the next table, who had come in after us, got served before we did. My friend complained and it still took them another 10 minutes to take our order. The starters did not arrive until 8.45 and the main course came about 9.15. We then ordered coffees which one of my friends had to go to the bar to enquire where they were as by this time the staff were just standing around chatting. A lady on the next table sent her curry back as it was cold and the table on the other side had ordered a portion of chips with their meal which did not arrive until they were nearly finished their meal. All in all it was more than a bit shambolic.

Very pleasant service and a lovely meal; kingfisher on tap along with a beautiful rogan josh. Worth a visit

North Shields no parece muy estimulante como la primera vez que explora, pero en una inspección más encuentros agradables sorpresas. El Aramee es uno. Situado en una pequeña calle de tiendas detrás de la principal zona comercial es el restaurante bien presentado. Tiene una fachada agradable, en lo que fue una casa privada. Cuando uno entra en el hall de entrada hay un restaurante a la izquierda, donde vimos las mesas dispuestas con manteles de lino encaja perfectamente planchadas en una habitación atractivamente decoradas que va desde la parte delantera a la parte trasera del edificio. A la derecha al entrar hay una sala de estar con dos sofás y algunas sillas y una pequeña mesa con menús para llevar. Hay una selección de comida india. Había cuatro de nosotros. El Cordero Dinaj puri era excelente, con preciosas piezas de cordero tierno creo en un espléndido curry, el cordero del Báltico asimismo, Pollo Korma y pollo Marsala también eran altamente calificado. Nuestros platos de acompañamiento, y comenzado, Bhindi Masala Dal eran excelentes. Los cuatro cada uno decía que era una de las mejores comidas indias que habíamos tenido. Los tamaños de las raciones eran abundantes. Hay adecuado aparcar en la calle. Accesible en silla de ruedas. El personal era muy bien presentado, servicial y educado. Una cena compañeros dijo que había estado viniendo regularmente por más de cinco años.

Hemos estado yendo a la Aramee desde que abrió y lo seguirá haciendo. La calidad y variedad de la comida siempre ha sido de primera clase y el personal ha sido siempre muy cortés y servicial. La voluntad de ajustar las comidas anunciado en el menú para todos los gustos individuales ha sido siempre un factor atractivo. A diferencia de algunos restaurantes indios, la habitación es luminosa y brillante, y siempre es, como decimos, hacer una limpia. Es, sin duda, nuestro restaurante favorito de la India. Pruébalo y no te decepcionará. Un grupo de nosotros tenemos una reunión en diciembre cena anual cada año y el voto es siempre "Aramee".

He estado viniendo aquí para visitar a mis padres a lo largo de los años. Es su restaurante favorito hindú en North Shields. El servicio es excelente, y opciones en el menú son abundantes. Entrantes y platos principales son siempre muy sabroso y el acompañamiento pan Naan y arroz es deliciosa. El bar completo lleva cerveza kingfisher en proyecto, junto con vinos de todo el mundo. Recomendado sin reservas. Siempre un lujo y un placer de comer allí.

Been coming to this restaurant for over 5 years now and it's still as nice now as it always has been. Went last night with my family and thoroughly enjoyed the food,drinks and service. Highly recommend!

Me and a friend of mine went there last Friday. The food was delicious as always and the stuff were very friendly and attentive. We will be coming back! Highly recommended.

Fuimos en grupo de 7 para el cumpleaños de un amigo. No había estado aquí por un largo tiempo, pero sabía que aún estaba bien considerado en North Shields y ha estado alrededor por años.

I have bought takeaways from the Aramee for years and never, ever been disappointed. The dishes always taste fresh and the dishes clearly differentiable in their spicing. A favourite for our family get-togethers, ages from 14 to 72!

Our favourite curry house in the northeast. The location, setting and decor is average but the food is awesome. Onion bhajis are fresh and crunchy. Rang puri lamb is just what I'm looking for from a curry - tomatoey, meaty and a bit of punch. Good value and a nice treat.

It's been some time since we last visited but I'm pleased to say this restaurant still has what it takes to be top of my list when it comes to Indian food. Aramee is located in an old bank. Whilst the decor is modest. The tables are set with crystal glasses and linen napkins. The welcome was as warm as it has always been and service exceptional. We visited on Friday night and I was surprised to see how many takeaways were being ordered and collected. However this did not detract from the service in the restaurant. We opted for mains only, as we remembered how generous the portions were. Whilst we waited for our food, the waiter brought us compliments popadoms and pickles. Which went down a treat. Our food arrived after a short wait and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Quality ingredients with loads of flavour.We'll definitely be returning soon.

Its not in the Balti triangle but this is the most reliable and competant in the North Shields area for a ruby.

This is a lovely Indian Restaurant with a large choice on the menu. It was a busy Saturday night, but we still had very good service and the food was delicious. This restaurant had been recommended by a friend in Tenerife and it lived up to our expectations. We were told to try the King Prawn Curry with shells on although this would not normally be our choice we tried it and it was delicious. There was four of us and we all tried different dishes and all were delicious definitely worth a visit .

We've eaten in previously and had a takeaway last night and both times the food has been excellent. Really fresh and tasty and not swimming in oil. We ordered too much but left with a doggy bag first time, and purposely over ordered for the takeaway so we could have it two days, it's just a delicious next day! The staff have always been extremely polite and welcoming which was nice because it seems a little bright and intimidating on entry but we didn't need to worry. We'll be sure to be back to try the set menu on a Thursday which looks like exceptional value at £9.95pp - what's not to like?! Thanks everyone and see you soon!

I always get a takeaway from this restaurant as it's always lovely, staff are always friendly and the food is fantastic.

The service at this restaurant was absolutely excellent. Food was really good and the portions were huge. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back.

This was our first visit in a long time and we were not disappointed. When we arrived we were shown to the waiting area until a table was prepared for us as we had not booked. When we were show to our table it was near the window at the front of the restaurant. We were given the menus and the drinks menu. We chose onion bhajis for starters and chicken bhuna and chicken rogan Josh with pilau rice with a plane nan bread. After placing our order the waiter return with two complimentary poppadoms along with a selection of dips. The onion bhajis were first class tasty and filling. Our main courses were also very tasty and filling. Just the right amount of taste although quite a lot though I am not complaining. A great meal out. Thanks go to the waiters and the chef.

Been here a few times as my family are a fan. Always enjoy a lovely meal and good service, food comes out in reasonable time especially when there has been up to 15 of us at some points. Beautifully tasting curries and good service

Authentic Indian in the heart of North Shields. Immaculately clean. Food superb and staff very attentive.

We joined a few friends for an evening out in the Aramis as we had enjoyed previous visits there.The selection of dishes on the menu are varied along with a decent range of wines spirits and beers.The staff are attentive and give advice on what spices are in the food ordered.The restaurant is neat and clean and the service by the staff is prompt and efficient the Aramis is well worth a visit it is a very good Bangladeshi and Indian restaurant.

Aramee is our first choice Indian for both takeaway and dining out, we've never been let down by their food and we've used it for many years!

Spot on as always, great value and service - I would recommend the Bahar kebab and lamb laziz as both are always excellent

I have been coming here for many many years and can honestly say it just gets better. Very sophisticated restaurant with beautiful dressed tables and crystal glasses. The food is superb and the staff are not only attentive but also extremely friendly.

The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere welcoming and the food is so flavoursome, what more could you possible want? Great little restaurant on our doorstep :)

We have been coming to the Aramee for many years and have never been disappointed. Even though we moved out of North Shields a couple of years ago, we still go back, having tried our new local restaurants and them not being as good as the Aramee

We love this restaurant having visited on many occasions, it is our favourite. You are always greeted with a warm welcome and the food is always excellent with a wide variety of meals to choose from. The service is always good and staff very helpful and friendly with nice atmosphere. If you have not visited before, give it a try.

On our way for fish and chips we were passing this restaurant. We decided to stop and see if they had a table for two. The restaurant looked very pleasant. Tables nicely set and covered with white cloths. We were greeted warmly and asked to take a seat in the waiting area while a table was prepared for us. All of the staff were very attentive, without making us feel hurried in any way. Which is as it should be and made for a relaxed dining experience. The food was lovely and the service was first class. We will definitely return.

Visited for the first time tonight. The waiter Salman (Sam) really looked after us. The food was outstanding, a great menu with all the favourites plus some mouth watering specialities (a chef of 35 years experience) . The venue is really welcoming and cosy with great dark wood décor. The owner Mr. Osman Guni (sorry if my spelling is incorrect) came to speak with us and was really keen to ensure that we enjoyed our visit. The ethic is to ensure that the customer is happy - and we were - with everything. Friendly staff, great food, great venue. We will be back to visit shortly and so should you.

Another excellent meal tonight. Lovely atmosphere, full of happy diners - the restaurant was buzzing! The food never disappoints and the service is efficient and friendly. So nice to see a local business doing well despite economic hardship. The Thursday and Sunday deals are particularly good value.As regulars we were shocked reading some bad reviews on TA and can only assume they were trolls with an agenda to grind! Ignore them and see for yourself.

My family and myself had a fantastic meal here last night for my mam's 60th birthday! The staff were very attentive and welcoming and the food was delicious, everyone enjoyed it. They even let us bring in food from next door for my nephew as he won't eat Indian food, I thought that was a lovely touch.

So glad we have Aramee as our "local" - ate there this evening and enjoyed a great meal as we always do, they even boxed up what we couldn't finish for tomorrow - fantastic service!

We have been to so many different Indian restaurants and this is by far in our opinion the best, for both dining in and take away. The food is so tasty, best dupiaza I've ever had. Tried lots of different dishes and always consistent and tasty whenever you go, we've never had a bad meal. Lovely staff, so friendly, courteous and attentive but also when dining in you are left to enjoy your meal. What more can I say? Visit Aramee and I can promise you will not be disappointed.

I have been coming to the Aramee for over 5 years now, either eating in or taking away and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal here. The staff are always courteous and polite and the food delicious. If you haven't been yet...... GO!!!!

Whether it's a flying quick stop takeaway or a sumptuous meal you simply can't go wrong with the Aramee. Outstanding food, polite, courteous service and quality table settings. Having a sweet tooth - I have to particularly rave about the quality, selection and portion size of desserts which can generally in Indian restaurants be very limited however don't expect the desserts to have been made on the premises (and why would you). In summary- stop reading this review and get yourself to Aramee for a fantastic meal. At the time of writing this review Thursdays nights were promotion night.

I've tried a lot of places and none of them have met up to the standard of this restaurant; the food is quality and the service is spot on, definetly recommend.

Just got back from the Aramee and as usual it was beautitful! Me and my nanna, grandad, and uncle have been going for well over 10 years and it has never disappointed! I usually order the Sizzler Murgh Bahar (chicken on a sizzler) but for a change I fancied having fish instead. Although not on the menu, I asked if it was possible to have the same dish but with fish and to my delight it was no bother at all. The fish dish was absolutely gorgeous and had a lovely clean taste. I'm a creature of habit so that will definitely be what I'll be ordering next time, and the time after that, and the time after that, and the time after that...you get the idea! When it comes to food I'm a little picky and have known to be highly critical, but honestly the meal I had tonight was absolute perfection, as were the staff.The staff went out of their way to be attentive and were incredibly friendly, as usual. Since we are 'regulars' it was a lovely touch at the end of the meal to be told we could each get whatever drink we would like and to have it on the house.The perfect end to the perfect meal!10/10: Food10/10: Service10/10: AtmosphereHIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Me and my family can't get enough of the food here. The staff are always very pleasent and make us feel like we are truely appreciated customers. If we come out for a meal we look no further then this restraunt and recommend to everyone! Yet to have a bad experience and the mint yougurt is to die for!

This is the best restaurant by far! I have been coming here for some time now and I have never been disappointed. Every member of staff are extremely polite and the food is always delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent service from beginning to end. Delicious. Lovely staff were so helpful. So impressed by the quality of the food. - inspired! Well gone.

!!Please don't read the negative reviews!!!Me and my girlfriend come in a lot and we have nothing but love for this place, very welcoming and polite. Food is amazing every time never have a fault to pick with anything. Waiters love to make sure their customers are ok we always get a handshake when we come in and leave. Best masala around and prices are great! Deals on a Sunday and Thursday are spot on too can't go wrong! Keep up the good work guys!

Visited for our first curry of the New Year. Chose the Aramee as it has been our favourite local curry house for some time. The food here is usually very good though there is little in terms of atmosphere. Sadly from the very first bite of bhaji we were to be disappointed. Don't know if they have changed the chef, but the food was only ok, not up to it's previous higher standard. There was certainly more sag than chicken!

Love coming here for food the place is very friendly warm n welcoming, everyone who works here r friendly n polite everytime. The food and service is always amazin n we go often n have never had a bad experience. Keep up the gd work guys n we will c u soon

We went to aramee for new year eve.Firstly we had booked a table for 8:30pm and they put us in the waiting room.We ordered some drinks while we were waiting and then got a seat at 9:15 and then had to re-order the drinks that we ordered in the waiting room.We ordered the starters and main and waited 1hr30 for the starters and then around about an hour later be got the main.The main was very nice but then realised there was a dish missing.We got the dish and when we were eating it there was a big long hair in it. The food is really nice but some of the waiters attitude weren't very good. I think we are just going to stick with takeaway.

Visited here with family for a New Year's Eve meal, and from the moment we walked in it was nothing but a disappointment. Firstly, we were booked in for 8:30, had our drinks ordered.. Only to be totally forgotten about after being shoved in the corner half an hour later. We had to have our drinks reordered twice, (the glass of cava 'on arrival' came 1hour and 15minutes later after we mentioned it three times) secondly we weren't advised that it was a set menu due to it being New Year's Eve (it was also a scabby old valentines menu with Valentine's Day scribbled out) why is it so hard to let customers know that it's a set menu?! Thirdly when our food finally arrived one of the dishes were missing, and fourthly when they brought it over it had the longest hair in it, I actually mistook for for stringy cheese at first!! one of the staff were so rude, had a horrible attitude and really struggled taking quite a simple order, it did make a few of our party feel quite uncomfortable. Although the food is good and majority of the staff seem lovely, I think it's crucial (having worked in restaurants twice the size) to let your customers know what your paying for especially if it's a set price per person! The young waiters were so lovely and they did try their very best, also the man in the black suit (looked like a manager) was also lovely. Unfortunately i wouldn't recommend it and definitely won't be returning anytime soon. I hope for the sake of the (very selected few) staff it improves.

Honestly!! There where so many things went wrong tonight ( New Years eve) it's almost impossible to write it all down. Shocking service, 2 hours before our starters arrived and 1hour before drinks arrived. Hairs in main meal?? Generally bad service .Spoilt our New Year's Eve , disgusted!! Used this place for takeaways but Never ever again.

NEVER go to this restaurant as they want you out as soon as you have ordered your starters.. I was just enjoying my starter and my plate was whizzed away from me before I knew it.. I got up and left before my main course because that will have been another event.. Off for a kebab.. THERE AWFUL!!!!!

This was my first visit with friends and I have had some lovely Indian meals so just expecting the same thing again. I have to say this has got to be the best Indian meal yet. The menu was so different and there was the traditional dishes as well. We did not order starters but had poppodoms and pickle tray. I ordered a tikka chicken jalfraz on a sizzerling dish and my goodness it was well worth trying. Lovely chicken in a spicy sauce that was perfectly hot. We all really enjoyed the food and service and will definitely be back as I need to try the starters. It was lovely to see families with there with their very well behaved children making it an enjoyable evening

We arrived as a party of four for a small Birthday mean. The place is nice and does the job and the staff were friendly and to our service the whole time. I must thank them for that, keep up the good work. For starters I had the onion bhaji which was nice on the outside but full of soggy onion on the inside. Another partner on our table had the same result and left one bhaji. The majority of the table had the Lamb Karahi which was well presented and tasted lovely> For my personal tastes a little bit more spice would have done it good as it seemed kind of bland for being a medium spiced meal.One party on our table had a Korma which I sampled and tasted very nice. Would I go back there, yes for the price as it was a Thursday it was £9.95 for three courses and it had a god atmosphere.

We used to like this place. It used to be good. Then it extended and became poor. Very poor. Now it has improved again but it has poor poor service. Tonight we have ordered a take away, been told it will be ready in 20 minutes, and then arrived on the 20 minutes slot and waited a further 15 minutes. And we're still waiting. They are very good at taking the money but less impressive at providing food or any kind of service.

Indian food to die for, it is absolutely delicious, from starters to sweet. The staff are beautifully dressed, smart, attentive, but not the hovering kind. The place always looks clean and inviting.

Found an underlying smell in this restaurant which was a bit off putting food very nice but did not like that people coming for takeaway were sitting in restaurant waiting for their food

This restaurant has a very good chef, my husband and I are very picky when it comes down to authentic Indian food, I have to say this place has to be the best Indian restaurant for miles out. We are never disappointed when we eat in or take out. The food just melts in your mouth.

We had heard a lot of good things about this Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant, but had never gotten round to visiting. We are curry fans, but living on the fish quay we don’t get very far normally on week day evening, due to the amount of dining possibilities. However this Thursday, fancying a curry and feeling adventurous enough to climb the imposing steps up to the “Top Toon”, we decided that the time was right. We were ready for a curry and those steps were not going to provide an obstacle. Out of breath, we arrived in a state of mild exertion and found ourselves outside the restaurant. Unbeknownst to us, this place does a deal on Thursdays. You get poppadums, dips, a starter, a main choice and accompaniment, all for £9.95. You can imagine our delight when we saw this advertised on the window outside. We were found ourselves sat in a spacious, comfortable environment. The tables were set expertly, and the staff were attentive from the off. It must have taken only five minutes or so having sat down to appreciate where we were, before a waiter came to take our drinks order. We ordered a pint of Kingfisher each- and when it arrived, it was cold, fresh, and very tasty. It’s fair to say, it was a “good pint”. We were provided with two menus- the £9.95 deal, and the regular menu. But who were we to pass up on the opportunity of such a fantastic looking deal? We opted for the former. We made our order, and shortly afterwards, the poppadums and dips arrived. The poppadums were fresh and crispy, and the three dips clearly home made. The mango chutney was memorable, and comes highly recommended, although my better half did have one complaint- that being the lack of a mixed pickle. We ordered chicken chat and prawn puri to start. My chat consisted of chicken, chick peas and a light, zesty tomato sauce with various spices and herbs and it was gone in seconds. The better half’s puri was well spiced with plenty of prawns. I am a massive chilli fan, but had elected for something more quiet this evening. So, for the main, I ordered a sizzling chicken type affair replete with chargrilled onions and peppers. It was essentially a chicken tandoori type dish- sliced chicken breast, but served on a hot, sizzling plate. It was not particularly hot in the spicy sense, just flavoursome, and I could imagine someone who has not had a curry or Indian/ Bangladeshi meal before enjoying it, if they already like sizzling chicken type dishes.My better half elected to choose the lamb karahi. As is usual, we shared our options. I can say that the chicken sizzler was just what I had wanted and expected. However, having tried the lamb option, I concurred with my better half’s assessment that it was “lush”. Not too hot, and a really nice, thick fresh sauce. As is also usual, and although I had no complaints about my option, I think I did at times cast envious glances upon the dish opposite. To accompany our selections, I ordered the Peshwari naan and the better half ordered rice. Believe me, that was more than enough, and did not really need the extra portion of rice that I ordered. (Upon ordering I was admonished slightly but not enough to spoil the occasion – and we still ate it!). We didn’t have desserts. We were stuffed. But it was a nice touch to have a selection of sweet nibbles taken to our table following the main course. Between courses, we had also each ordered another tasty pint of Kingfisher. The total bill for two came to £35. £35! I left what I hope to be a generous tip of £7. The long and short of this review is that it was very good indeed, and that we had little room for any complaint apart from the lack of a mixed pickle. As a final observation, we both think that although the deal that we fortuitously stumbled upon was excellent, we shall have to return so that we can order from the main menu to re- appraise just how good this place appeared to us on our first visit.

I visited this restaurant with family on New Year's Day. The food was exceptional and the chef was very accommodating when asked to cook something that was not on menu. The staff were very friendly. Great food, great service and overall a great experience. The restaurant could do with a bit of a spruce up.

Although maybe a little more expensive than other Indian restaurants in the area, it is definitely worth paying a little more. Pakora starter was lovely and my partner enjoyed the onion bhajis. I had a dish of the chef's recommendations which was awesome. Definitely give this place a try.

Best curry house for miles! This is one of my regular haunts, but I try not to be biased, and give credit where credit's due. Great flavours, good prices and excellent service.

Its been a while since we have visited the Aramee but it was great that the service and food was as good as ever.The location may not be as upmarket as some of the other Indian restaurants in the area but the food is top notch.

Went here last night, 9th may . Was a fair few ppl in . Service on entering was fast and friendly , food was served piping hot and tasted delicous staff were helpful and friendly , very pleasamt and clean restaurant and well worth the money . I would strongly recommend this place to visit

Friendly staff and nice ambience. Food is authentic and delish. Really handy for where I live and their takeouts are non greasy and tasty too

Went on a Saturday night with the wife (we have been before) and had a great meal. Everything about the meal was good. The food was great (the chicken was way above the standard of all Indian takeaways) , the service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was good.At the end of our meal we were given tray of sweet treats, now you would think wine gums wouldn't go well after a curry, but strangely they did!

I'm happy I trusted the TripAdvisor reviews... At first I was concerned by one of the reviews that was very negative, but compared to others which were positive I decided to give it a try. Both my wife and I were very impressed by the the quality of the food, the service, the friendliness and the cleanliness of the place. When we come back to the UK, and specifically to NorthShields, Aramee Restaurant will be on our list for sure.

The Aramee offers a great set menu on a Thursday night. Service is always excellent. Tables are nicely set and food is always hot. Would recommend .
