Bensham Tandoori in Gateshead - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

the food was amazing, but they did forget the onion bhaji from my order

I'm from West Yorkshire so I know a good curry. Not had a good curry in Newcastle yet after many tries.. But this was amazing thank you! finally

Got a few picky things the chicken tikka and lamb tikka was lovely very tender one slight complaint we ordered chips and onion bajis arrived in its place which were sadly wasted on us as we aren’t onion eaters apart from that lovely food

Like most Indian takeaways these days:, poppadoms either: missing, smashed to a million pieces, or soggy as a wet Wednesday (cooked a week earlier). Not for me, they are ripping off, Time Just Eat checked the quality.

two person meal deal definitely worth the money

No sauce even tho it was paid for and the lamb was nothing but fatty meat, I was really disappointed

The authentic flavor of the rice and korma dishes are so delicious.My fav one is Tikka pillow .

Not been for a while so not sure if new chef but food wasn’t nice, we live close and when food came it was cold, it was cold enough that I could put my hand on bottom of silver container and it not burn me , kebab meat was rubbery and the curry sauce (masala) was tasteless. Such a shame as we used to love ordering from here

absolutely disgusting had a foul taste was cold I would recommend not to go there the worst indians I have ever had

Only ordered a hand full of times from here for collection, but on 2 of those occasions they have failed to include a dish that was paid for. (Will always give a second/third chance) This Saturday we ordered for collection, one again a dish was missing and this time the lamb tikka was as tough as one boots. Called to complain and although I received an apology and the promise I would receive the dish free next time I order I won't order again from here. They also said lamb is always tough as cooked in a tergen, really!!! More like old meat or old muten🤢

Food always tasty and delivery time always accurate however one thing i will say is I would recommend just picking the food up and check before you leave the shop as every time we have ordered something is always missing lucky for us we only lived round the corner so no problems picking it up bit annoying but it is what it is, would have been 5/5 but due to this happening multiple times has to be a 3/5

always lovely food , always early

I ordered a meal deal with a Methi, but got a Phal. There was plenty of other food though so it was OK.

We received the wrong curry. I rang the restaurant to let them know. They said they’d send out the correct curry. We then realised they’d also sent us the wrong naan bread. So I rang back and they were very rude and laughed when I said there was no garlic on the naan because according to them, it was a garlic naan. If that’s what they think a garlic naan is then they need their tastebuds checked! The curry eventually turned up and was bland and the rest of our food was cold. Meal ruined.

Food is always great, love the naans and I like the stamp system. Nice to get a discount.

Just food wasn’t as hot as nomal

The food was cold on arrival and there were two dishes missing the chicken tikka starter was missing and also the onion bijas were missing. Very disappointed

Very disappointed with the food our garlic sauce was missing from our order this is the second time this has happened when we ordered from Bensham Tandoori.

Food turned up Hot but stuff missing but the driver proceeded to tell me he had been stood at door for 10 mins bearing in mind it's freezing outside he hadn't knocked or stood there why would he stand in the cold when all he had to do is ring me like he did to tell me he was there WATS THE POINT IN LYING

My food came at 19.15 which was on time. My food was missing part of the order. I called the restaurant for them to not want to deliver them again. Asked me if could not just get them next time. It was a main part of the meal. When they arrived 4t mins later all the food was cold and soggy. Not happy. I want my money back

I ordered the 8 course special even though the quantity of food for the price was good value the food wasn’t brilliant, the madras was quite salty the poppadoms were very stale and floppy (not a good quality to have in a poppadom) the chicken tikka was bland, the best part of the meal was the chicken chaat and the naan considering it’s an 8 course meal 2 out of 8 dishes being good doesn’t really say much

Can’t fault it,, very tasty food and always good service, x

Food late and cold no curry on variety box rice full of water food awful will not be ordering from them again and won't even give me a refund

lol I never got it we changed to delivery and they never ca

The meal was cold , the popadoms were stale, the egg in the pilau rice was burnt. The naan was cold , and stale

Delivery took over 2 and a half hours half the food went all over the floor as bag they were in was soggy food was freezing cold chips looked like they were cooked two days ago and what we managed to get on to plates was disgusting greasy and cold and was not eating as contained meat and fish half the order wasn’t even right when we rung up and complained said they would give discount on food and as I was talking hung up then contacted food hub and was offered £10 pound back on a £40 order that we couldn’t eat even after we told them they could come and get the food they then demanded we take it back to the shop and they would give us a full refund we are in lobley hill they are in bensham we advised that could not be possible they refused to do any more I have been a customer a long time and never again will I order from this place don’t no what has happened but the place is the pits now if I could give less then one star I would disgusting food disgusting staff will be reporting to all the relevant food agencies first thing tomorrow morning place needs shut down

Food was beautiful, freshly cooked and ready early. Only issue - meal for one is enough for two!!

Food was so cold on arrival onion bhajis were burnt to a crisp inedible. The curry had two bits of chicken in it! What a waste of 20 pound! AVOID

one of the best takeaways I have had in ages highly this llace

Wonderful meal as ever from Jashim and staff

food was 20/25 mins late the chips were cold and the omelette was freezing dont think the chicken in the omelette was cooked either

Food come in good time but the chicken was pink

Twice I have ordered lamb tikka katmanndu but have been given chicken. Very disappointed as i do really enjoy this takeaway

The pineapple was off bad in the dansack

Terrible rude staff hung up the phone when the delivery driver was at the wrong address food cold no chicken in the chicken omelet kebab meat was like rubber and the portion size for price was disgusting

Nice food really enjoyed it staff was very friendly

Great food, quick delivery. Thanks

Absolutely gawguss chicken prawn madras

This has got to be the worse Indians aye have had in a long long time al never be back again not a chance 35 worth of food strait in bin

Beautiful food. Couldn't fault anything other than personal taste, (bit more spice here and there) naga chips are amazing

Absolutely dreadful food Donner kebab was 2 scraggy bits of meat with few chips and Nan bread was not even cooked or heated and chilli sauce was more like tomato ketchup NEVER EVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN AND BE SURE I WILL BE LETTING OTHERS KNOW ABOUT THE SMALL AND DISGRACEFUL PORTIONS FROM BENSHAM TANDOORI

When I try a new place to buy my curries from, always order a Tandoori Chicken Mossala and vegetable pilau rice if they can get that right. The rest of the menu is usually good. I can report it was good, very good, would recommend.

Curry was so salty couldn't eat it nan bread was so burnt it was bitter couldn't eat it poppadoms so stale went in bin was first and last time i will be ordering from this place

First time ordering from here.food was very good..Will definitely order from here again

Have to be honest, I got the tikka sauce did not like it at all my daughter said it was lovely. My partner agreed with me. He got vindaloo was nice but not hot what he’s used to. Chips were hard and dry. Poppadoms were nice. Garlic Nan wasn’t keen at all. Never had an Indians for months and was gutted. Won’t be back will stick to whickam tandoori though expensive you get what you pay for.

Food was barely warm, king prawns were small, chips were little and shrivelled up. Onion bhaji’s were huge but lacking flavour, sadly not the place for us to order in future.

First time ordering and the food was Absolutely Amazing. Delivery on time and food piping hot when it arrived.

Always good, still the best naan bread I think I’ve ever had.

Unfortunately the food was luke warm. It's not normally but it's the first time I've ordered a couple of hours in advance so maybe it was made earlier and got a bit cold

i always enjoy a good curry & have never been let down

Do not waste your money like we just have as all of our food went in the bin and we’ve had to order from somewhere else! Absolutely appalling food potions for the price you pay, mossala was flavourless and the garlic dips were pretty much water not to mention all the food being cold Avoid at all costs

As always, the food is more than ok for the price and still some of the best naan breads I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been eating curry since 1987 lol 😂

again proper good food tried a different curry well worth it, totes recommend. big thumbs up from me.

again sweet as a nut lovely hot food delivered early

The food didn’t taste nice at all

as per usual tasty good quality food totally recommend

Usual great food, still the best Naan bread I think I’ve ever had.

changed it up & just cant fault it,

Delivery time was great however when food arrived my curry has spilled inside the back which meant I lost most of my meal

nothing different, amazing quality food, fantastic quality, quick delivery times, i love it (once a week treat) !!!!!

again wonderful hot & tasty well done again.

Lovely food recommend anyone thank you

Lovely food unfortunately the order was wrong didn’t ask for chips No vegetable Bhaji and wrong rice

Ordered from here a few times but food was a little disappointing today, my poppadoms were soft and my puri was very thick and quite inedible

Just did nt like taste of it and beef was fatty not enough meat in curry

As a hgv driver, it is hard to find people who will deliver. Rest assured when I'm in the Tyne, these will be my go to guys. Ace food, piping hot and just what was needed after a hard day

I had something different today a lamb tikka korma. I couldn't eat the meat as it was so tough but the sauce and bread was nice. I would definitely order again as what I normally eat is lovely

My food was cold when it arrived and all my popadoms were soggy

But I had to go to my front gate to collect as the delivery driver wouldn’t come to my front door as he said he heard a dog bark

Beautiful scran best Indian I’ve ever had

Food was excellent and delivered on time 👍

Very enjoyable meal and just what I needed at this time.

The food had no taste at all was quite disappointed and went in the bin.

Over an hour late and I ordered it on just eat just before they opened , rang them numerous times for them to fob me off with excuses, food arrived at 6.44 and was absolutely freezing

Chips didn’t seem fresh (like they were fried, allowed to cool, then re-fried) Curry was tangy, as if it were a few days old, lacked flavour other than salty. Rice was a bit mushy

Food as good as ever. Recommended

Good food. Nice staff. Not expensive. Certainly I will try again next time

Delicious food, fast delivery, friendly staff definitely order again

Fantastic meal and more than me and the good lady could eat. So i had the rest for work the next day.

Minging got a vindaloo and a naga both tasted like a jar of curry the spicy chips were oven chips with a bit chilli powder on wtf disgraceful paid £30 for 2 curry's never again

Its the first time ive been, and i can guarantee it will be the last, i have never tasted anything as vile in my life.

Food is nice and have some good value meal deals.

Wrong order given and food was cold

Been using off and on for 20yrs. Food has always been nice. Latest delivery driver is friendly guy...

Been three times first time was lovely last 2 times have been very oily and lacking flavour, meat tasted low quality. As such I wouldn't return

Chips very greasy tasting... curry no flavour at all. Wont be ordering again

Amazing cuisine and fast delivery. I had their mega box and chicken tikka pilaw, It was worth it 😋

Always good food nice friendly people

We have used Bensham Tandoori for years, but we will be looking for a new Indian takeaway. Food has been very hit and miss recently, items missing, food late. We understand that during lockdown they may have been busier, but our meal tonight was almost an hour late and it was cold, not even warm, it was actually cold.

Waited 1hoour and 40 minutes. Food was FREEZING. Total bloody joke

Orderd from there for years got a meal tonight was disgusting freezen cold keema nan was all sticky wasn't cooked not get my money anymore

Service was fast and friendly, but the food was rubbish - cheap, knock-off "Indian" food, and nothing more than that. Only exception, the naan bread was not bad!

Food is unbelievable! I personally wouldn't use anywhere else. They always have fantastic offers on and there's always plenty of food to go around. My favourite is the mega box with masala sauce

used this bensham tandoori on several occassions and have never had the same meal twice, having ordered the same. Also were you used to get the big chunky chips we love from indians they now serve awful frozen ones.

Food was lovely best ive had in a long time..will be back

The guy working there was so rude it was unbelievable. Then after all that I got food poisoning, spent ages with vomiting and diarrhoea. Avoid this place!

Utter waste of time, we ordered just after 8pm food delivered just before 10pm... with bits missing! We had a 40% off offer to use and genuinely wasn't worth the money even with the discount. Called up a few times regarding our order pretty much fobbed off and rudely hung up on. Our Order: Lamb Tikka Kathmandu - Worst Lamb I've had in a while about 70% gristle. The Sauce seemed to be pretty much chopped tomatoes wiht a few whole chillis thrown in, no flavour at all. no heat, no spice and certainly no ginger. Had upgraded this using their go large option, seems to mean more sauce and thats it. The Garlic Pilau you'd think would be easy to get right.. tasted of ..... rice! no visible garlic in it either, maybe this was wrong also The Chicken Korma was ok but no better than a shop bought sauce, nothing special. Think the nicest thing out of the lot was the onion salad. Doubt we'll go back far better indian takeaways and restaurants in Whickham, I recommend you checkout Jamdani!

Absolutely awful. Chicken tikka masala was tasteless. Poppadoms soggy and disgusting chewy chicken! Never again 🤮

great food, peshwari naan had no fruit in it but still tasted lush would definitely order from there again

Ordered my favourite chicken tikka masala , it was awful. Tasteless and the wrong consistency. Didn't eat and threw out. Will not be ordering again
