Waited 2 hours for this order to arrive when I was given a maximum of 1 hour 20 minutes and the food was then cold. Should not have to reheat food after it has been delivered!

Food was very nice. Only issue was with collection. When I arrived to collect they could not find my order. Had to then wait over 20 minutes for it.

We got a delivery from just eat. Which was on time, for once. We ordered a lamb rogan Josh, the lamb was near frozen and there was only 4 bits in the whole tasteless curry. We also ordered a chicken garlic chilli curry, again, tasteless and cold. The onion bhaji was not onion, not sure exactly what it was but it wasn’t onion, and again, stone cold. There was 40% off just eat so maybe they served us crap for that but there was no way they’d have gotten away with serving that crap in the restaurant. Every part of it went in the bin! Reported it to just eat and got nothing back!

App indicated food was delivered at 7.30pm, when it wasn't, used the app for feedback to try and see where our food was, the app was then revised to indicate an apology from the restaurant and rescheduled to 7.10pm, but arrived at 7pm. Excellent food

Based on previous reviews, we had to give this place a go and so pleased we did. All 3 of us went for the starter + main meal deal. Highlight for me was the café tuk tuk starter (available as a main) and made slightly less hot to suit my taste - probably one of the nicest things I've eaten. Main I went for chicken dhansak, as I always choose this to compare with other restaurants/takeaways. This was very nice, plenty of chunky chicken and pineapple accompanied with mushroom pilau. My mates all enjoy their dishes too (everyone's different). P.S. Nice cold Cobra aswell. Definitely be back, as food was awesome and very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff too. Top marks from us all.

My husband spotted the ‘new’ chicken Handi meal on the menu and decided to give it a go. It was tasty and not too spicy. Only criticism was the sauce was a bit runny as he’s used to a thicker sauce. I went for my chicken tikka main meal. Mushroom pilau rice and large, well filled naan were the sundries. Deliver was really quick and a money off deal from a well know delivery firm made the meal an excellent choice.

It is an amazing little place we were greeted at the door. Then we were escorted to our booth where we received poppadoms and pickles to eat while we chose our meal. I chose a chicken dansak and pilau rice with garlic Nan bread. All I can say is that it left me wanting more. The food was so rich in flavour and texture. the chicken tender and succulent, I savoured every bite. I can highly recommend this diamond of a restaurant, If you want attention to detail, amazing service and food. Then book yourself a table!

Used this place a bit recently. Quite good! But what I paid under 11 quid for a month ago is now £14.90 for a takeaway. I said that's too expensive. He said the Chicken bhuna curry was 9 quid and he'd applied 20% discount! Won't be calling again.

Loved this restaurant, it was cosy with a lovely atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was lovely, tandoori sharing platter was great and larger than expected, mains were massaala and the staff curry which my husband really enjoyed along with veg pilau ,mixed pilau and garlic nans. Probably the best Indian meal we've ever had and at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back soon.

I ordered a Lamb Kurma. When I served it up instantly I knew the smell wasn't right, and it tasted like sour milk. The chips for some reason had onions in and the keema naan was tasteless with little to no meat. We called to complain and were given the excuse the lamb would change the flavour of the sauce, however this has been ordered in the past and it was worlds apart from what I received tonight. I would expect, at the very least a refund so I can avoid the restaurant in future.

The best curry in the North East. You won't be disappointed with any dish from the curry centre. Me and my family have been going here for over 35 years and they've never let us down. Family owned with the friendliest team of people and the tastiest curry dishes going, I cant speak highly enough of the curry centre centre 🔥

Been coming here for years and unsure if there has been an ownership change but the food is completely different and not as good even with smaller portions, yet prices have stayed the same. Such a shame as it used to be a treat to look forward to but have been disappointed the last few times and went tonight and the portions (especially chips) have gone down in size massively and not worth the money anymore. Really disappointed and such a shame.
