Chutneys in Gateshead

The staff at this restaurant are so accommodating even for non bookings. Great choice on the menu. Always made to feel welcome and better than other indian restaurants in the area, really enjoyed our meal.

Didn't even know about this place, sister recommended it. It is not the most modern decor, but it makes up with great service and fantastic food. Great prices compared to other Indian restaurants, which is a bonus. Will definitely go back.

Been coming here for years. The best Indian restaurant in Whickham and consistently friendly service. Would highly recommend.

Really nice food and a warm welcome from the owner. Can't rate the atmosphere as it was early evening with nobody in, we were having a takeaway.

This is one of two Indians in Whickham. The food here is excellent, however the service leads a lot to be desired and has been poor on more than one occasion. Tonight we highlighted it was a birthday meal, you would think we had walked off the street. The other Indian would have been all over you with treats and a birthday cake without having to ask.

We have just had an excellent meal here for our daughters birthday and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. There was seven of us and each one of us enjoyed our food. The service was great. When they realised it was our daughters birthday they gave her a complimentary desert with sparklers. Hopefully we will return shortly

We came here for a celebratory meal. There were quite a few other customers in the restaurant and we weren't late arriving or leaving. As soon as we had finished our meal and were finishing our drinks the man behind the counter started slamming cutlery about really loudly for absolutely ages. We couldn't really concentrate and felt that he wanted us to leave so he could go home. So we finished our drinks and left. When we left we passed the jamdani which was really busy, probably because they don't start making loads of noise, slamming cutlery about and making their customers feel unwelcome. Very annoying when we had spent quite a lot of money on a mediocre meal. Won't be returning. I did notice a picture of the hairy biker on the wall. Bet they didn't start slamming cutlery about when he was in.

Having lived in the area for 6 years, I was told by a friend to try Chutney's over the more obvious restaurant on Front Street. I've been missing out for the last 6 years! Fantastic food, really well prepared and perfectly balanced with spice and flavour. Try the salmon to start - you will not be disappointed! . It's become not only my go to restaurant, but the takeaways are high quality too. I'll look forward to my next visit.

Very grease normal 5 starts but not this time

Easily the best Indian restaurant there is. Their food is amazing. If you love curry, then don’t even think about it, just go!

Very good Indian restaurant. Food is always top drawer, and so is the service. Would definitely recommend.

Chutney's food is fantastic. If you want a take away experience that rivals eat in food, this is the place. A great menu with lots to choose from and the food is ready when promised. Eating in is also great with friendly staff and a reasonably nice decor. A 5* Hygiene rating is a great sign and I would definitely recommend Chutneys in the Whickham area.

I've been three times over about six years and this is definitely the last. The wifey has been more often and never understood why I wasn't a fan. She loved it. This time, every member of our party agreed the food was bland. Everything else is good. The service and decor (despite the exterior looking like an abandoned warehouse) is excellent. I can forgive the quiet atmosphere at six pm on a Thursday, and it seemed to be picking up as we were leaving. Maybe I've just hit a bad day every time, as it seems to thrive. But I'd rather go with consistency.

Very good food and attentive service. Will definitely go again

Visited many times and food always fantastic. Had our first home delivery and that was of a similar high standard. Always great food and great value.

We had a lovely meal here on Friday night. Food was very nice and fantastic friendly service. Will definitely be back!

My favourite restaurant in the world. I’ve been to many restaurants across Europe and nothing is as good as Chutneys! Nothing comes close when it comes to Indian restaurants. The price is very reasonable, the atmosphere is amazing and the service is unbeatable. The staff are very friendly. The food is remarkable and especially the lamb Rogan Josh.

Had a takeaway best we’ve had in a long while. Food was delicious - stuffed pepper for starters and tandoori chicken for main all really good thoroughly recommend!

I haven't been for ages. It was lovely to go back and the meal was perfect.

Had a lovely meal with the wife for valentines,first class service throughout

Most of the meals were very good, unfortunately mine wasn't but good place to go for a friendly atmosphere

The best Shesh Kebab and Jalfrezi in the North East!!

Lovely food, lovely staff. We had a delightful meal. Well worth a visit if you're in Whickham.

Always eclxcellent food from Chutneys. Best Indian in Whickham hands down.

Lovely meal when lv been there couldent fault anything, wish they had a better entrance as them steps are horrible when wet and full of leaves, but worth it as the meal and service make up for them x

I went for a meal at Chutney’s last night (Friday 14th Oct) and had a fantastic meal. The food was really tasty. We had a chicken tikka madras and byriani both of which were top notch. Having tried the other restaurants in and near Whickham recently I can honestly say the food at Chutneys is vastly superior.

Our favourite Indian restaurant, Chutneys is tucked behind the main street in Whickham and is well worth a visit. The staff are lovely and look after you from the moment you set foot in the door. There's a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. The menu is varied with a great choice. I can recommend the Salmon Jalfrezi. You can see the menu on line and they do takeaway. If you're travelling with someone fussy there is Chicken and chips There is parking outside and just along the road behind the Gibside Hotel.

Pick up my order made by phone last night 6/5/22.Not a very good outcome as the popadoms where not fresh and had a bad smell of oil about them. Possibly old stock but what is concerns me .is the rest of there food old stock too.🤔

Food is class but not as class as the owner. Proper lovely food and proper lovely staff. If I could leave 6 stars I would. Jamdani could never!!

We had a really good takeaway tonight from Chutneys. Great value special meal.

Always a great meal out. Never had a bad dish, service is rapid and always get a nice complimentary dish on the house. Keep it up.

We have visited Chutneys for over ten years and always enjoyed the restaurant food and service. I was surprised to see some bad reviews on Trip Advisor but see they relate to their takeaway service. I can only think it was due to the busy festive period and that they were overwhelmed with orders with so many people staying in these days in Covid times! We went last night for sit down food in the restaurant for the first time in what seems like years and had such a lovely evening. We were greeted with warmth and familiar smiles and the staff seemed genuinely pleased to see us. Service and food was spot on too. I tried something new…king prawn tikka biryani, which was absolutely perfect! Succulent prawns with rice cooked perfectly and a side vegetable curry included in the dish. Chutneys thank you 🙏 we have missed you for sure and will be back sooner !

Ordered a new years eve takeaway for 7.30. We ordered at 5.30, delivery driver knocks on our door at 6pm, we said we ordered for half 7 he said he would take it back and bring back fresh food for 7.30. Our food arrived and came to 31pound we gave him 40pound and asked if we wanted the change?! Food stone cold, tasteless and soggy, clearly the same bag of food they had prepared two hours before. Couldn't eat it. Tried numerous times to ring and complain, no answer. Wouldn't dream of getting a takeaway again. Disgusting

Fabulous food superb service as always

Have eaten here on several occasions when stopping locally and have always enjoyed the food. The service has always been good a quite fast

As I don't live in the area, I haven't been in quite a while. But the food is still excellent. Perfect balance of flavours and spices. Staff are as friendly as ever. Highly recommend a try. Still my favourite restaurant.

We have used this restaurant , mainly take out, sometimes restaurant for years . Can’t fault it . Food and service second to none ❤️❤️❤️

Just had a takeaway from chutneys, absolutely amazing unreal. Definitely be back, the owner was so friendly well done everyone 🍴😋👌👍

Excellent food at a decent price, especially when Cobra were the 660ml bottles Highly recommend the mixed kebab starter and chicken vindaloo.

Not only was the food completely bland and tasteless but there was also food missing from the order. Attempted calling several times to rectify the missing order but every time they hung up on me. Much nicer indians in Whickham like Jamdani or Jashn. Pathetic

Excellent meal as usual. We always enjoy our meal with our friends from Bradford. Another very good night.

Excellent food and service from start to finish

Never been here now for years But when we did come we came every week And I just want to say STILL AMAZING!!! We like mr chutney as we call him and his faithful staff Always happy and polite,we will be back Love your place and the food never disappoints

We had a wonderful meal! Complements to the chef! There was six of us and we all enjoyed the food! One of us had a salmon steak with vegetable,s as she doesn't eat Indian food! She said it was delicious 😋

Wonderful food . Very friendly staff. Great experience.

Just had a take away from Chutneys. Can recommend. Food was excellent.

If you are a fan of great Indian food then this place is a must. Whilst probably the lesser known of the two, Chutneys is around the back from the more well know Indian restaurant in Whickham and probably not so lavish. However, and it is a big however, in our opinion, the food, the atmosphere and the service are far better and there is no sleaziness whatsoever. Thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous selection of exquisite cuisine and will undoubtedly be back soon.

Great food at very reasonable prices. A nice quiet restaurant, behind the main st.

Went for a meal tonight, the food was warm and mediocre, the courses were rushed, the waiter was rude and interrupted several times, the atmosphere wasn't great with the waiters shouting over the bar area. 😡

Collected curry and was home in 5mins. Luke warm and tasteless. Phoned up to let them know I was disappointed. I was even more disappointed with the response as my call was cut off.Hard to believe someone running a restaurant could be so ignorant. Will use Jamdani in future.

No word of a lie, one of the finest meals I've ever eaten!! There was four of us who each had something different, both meat and vegetarian options. An extra complimentary meal was brought out as well. Felt covid secure. Staff have been there for years which is a very good sign.

Absolutely wonderful. Warm and friendly welcome. Great service and delicious food. A perfect evening! x

Fantastic food ordered to collect and all ready as advised

Good quality experience.. Pleasant staff.

Food very good always give a little extra manager special nice to taste something you wouldn't normally order

Had a birthday meal there before 2nd lockdown. Food and service was amazing, definitely will be back.

Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Took our toddler on the most recent visit, we were made very welcome with him. Food was lovely as always. Only criticism would be that they should maybe invest in another couple of high chairs as they struggled to accommodate the number of kids in the restaurant Staff very friendly and apologetic about the high chair situation. Offered a free drink to go with their apology

Amazing takeaway tonight from Chutneys and to add to the amazing service the owner delivered to our door. My tandoori king prawns were incredible Thank you

Group visit after plenty of beers. Very nice food, good service. Really hope the near £70 error on the bill was a genuine mistake.

Really nice meal, attentive staff, online booking system. Will return.

Me and my husband visited chutneys on the 27 july 2020 we were made very welcome from entering the restaurant food was really nice and very tasty well presented all staff were very friendly and talkative

Excellent food and service, as always. Well managed Covid precautions in place.

Ordered a takeaway from here last night & it certainly didn't disappoint. The food was fantastic. We will certainly be returning.

Was recommended the Chutneys Podina Zal Murgh. Wow!, my new favourite. Tucked away but worth finding.

Should be zero. First and last visit here. Takeaway order with wrong items, undercooked and tasteless curry all topped off by a large black hair baked into the naan bread. £35 into the bin.

Located on the back row behind the main street in Whickham. This restaurant offers great food at reasonable prices.

Excellent food. Excellent service. One of the best in the area. Highly recommended

just had a takeaway,food just warm,chicken was tasteless,chips awful & salad was ready for the bin !!!! Really disappointed

Amazing food, great service and nice atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and welcoming.

This is our favourite curry place it's a no frills place we're you feel comfortable and at home as soon as you enter The menu is quite extensive and if there's a dish not on it they will gladly make it for you to your liking just brilliant service The food quality and portion size is really good and if you can't manage it all they simply container it up so you can take it home with you with no fuss The staff are attentive and professional with out being overbearing and rushing you out the door to turn the table around They always give you a free main course on the house as a special treat from management what a nice touch The also give out a free baileys or something at the end of your meal another nice touch and excellent hospitality If you have never been please try the restaurant once and see for yourself you won't be disappointed and support a brilliant family owned restaurant that has been serving whickham for many Many years If you like my review give it the thumbs up

Really lovely food! Would recommend.

Food and service are always excellent

An excellent Indian restaurant great food well served

That was very nice. Lovely food. great and friendly staff.

Great customer services and delicious food

Not the best food in the area but close to it. Value for money and very good service.

The food was beautiful, staff very friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. Highly recommend the Lamb madhop, lovely and sweet with a touch of heat.👌👌👌👌

Very good food. Clean. Good service. Would recommend to others. Staff are very helpful. Has a takeaway too.

Pedí ayuda con el menú (lo que era seguro para mí comer). Me aseguraron que la samosa vegetal (entrante) era segura para comer, pero no los pappadums. Plato principal dahl y espinacas y papa con arroz.Asegúrate de que todo era seguro para comer. Disfruté mi comida, hasta que comenzaron los síntomas y supe que tenía que llegar a casa.Dejando a los gorry detalles de cuánto puede expeler un cuerpo después de comer gluten, ¡lo dejo a su imaginación! ! ! No hace falta decir que las 3 en punto de la mañana llegaron muy lentamente y ¡entonces fue posible dormir! !¡Por favor, evita si tienes enfermedad celíaca! ! ! !

Great staff and perfect food, as good as "the place up the road"

Always choose Chutneys for our Indian takeaways. Excellent food, friendly staff and often get free onion bhajis or a free dish to try.

Poor no taste in the Currys Had better from Aldi

Best Indian Food around .....No doubt!!!!!!

6 of us ate hear 9th Dec 2017 we all agreed it was a fantastic meal great value, service was excellent would highly recommend a hidden gem will definitely return

Booked here on Saturday 9th the food was excellent and the service was great the staff were friendly and all the meals come out together what a great night for all 6 of us will definitely be returning.

Visited Chutneys for a meal with friends, although we hadn't booked and they were full they did find us a table in a few minutes. have to say it was one of the best Indian meals we have had in a long while. loads of chicken in the dishes and very flavoursome. The only downside was that the waiter seemed to be hovering around us and No sooner than we had cleaned our plates and put our cutlery down the plates where whipped away without even asking which we thought was fairly rude. We would certainly visit again in the not to distant future and would certainly recommend Chutneys.

Abandonado en la posibilidad de que este lugar tenía una mesa libre, aunque estaba abarrotada y no habíamos reservado, el restaurante no podía ser más servicial, encontramos una mesa en cuestión de minutos, los camareros eran muy atentos, y aunque mi amigo y Solo había ordenado que comenzaran 1, el camarero se mostró pensativo y trajo un plato extra con ensalada para que pudiéramos compartir, (no es que quisiera, ya que el primer plato era tan bueno, pero hubiera sido grosero no hacerlo)El plato principal tenía un montón de pollo, que era muy sabroso y no nos podemos quejar.La única crítica es que el camarero no te dio una oportunidad real de ver si habías terminado, tan pronto como hubimos despejado nuestros platos, los batieron sin preguntar, parecía como si debiera haber estado mirando.Una vez dicho esto, sin duda lo calificaríamos como uno de los mejores restaurantes en Whickham, no creo que nadie pueda estar decepcionado.

Había 10 de nosotros aquí para celebrar el 60 cumpleaños de un amigo de cumpleaños. Habíamos reservado mesa para 8:00 p.m. el viernes por la noche. Nos ordenan y el camarero amable tomó nuestra orden de bebidas. Después pedimos entrantes y comidas de la noche bastante variedad que pedimos. Todo llegó en buen momento y nos dieron una comida gratis. La comida era excelente y muy poco es la izquierda. Gran lugar estado muchas veces.

No visitado por más de tres años, pero el personal nos reconoció desde visitas previas y nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos. Restaurante completo y el sábado noche pero el servicio rápido como de costumbre. La calidad de la comida buenay sabrosa, no demasiado caro. Buena variedad de elección. Debe volver pronto!

Llegó la última noche en el restaurante, muy bienvenido, se vice muy eficiente y cortés, comida absolutamente excelente, especias muy sabroso, servicio de camarero de cinco estrellas. Sin duda volveremos, incluso nos dieron un curso gratuito el chef principal plato especialidad había hecho, comida excelente, volveremos muy pronto, también nos dieron una tarjeta de navidad con 10 libras.

fantastic little curry house tucked away on a back street in whickam . the food was delicious and the prices were fair, well worth a visit

Last minute decision ,not visited for a year or so .Very happy we did ,great meal ,service and quality .

Chutney's está situado en una calle detrás de la ruta habitual de High Street, detrás del hotel gibside.

Lovely chicken Madras, great food and service.

Tuvimos una comida aquí tengo que decir que me pareció muy normal, y me quedé decepcionado con el sabor de la comida, no tan bueno como el restaurante indio jamdarnies en Whickham

Not had a meal for a while my goodness the food tonight was absolutely fantastic great value for money well done to your chefs and staff

Takeaway - Good food at a reasonable price. Absolutely fantastic customer service.

Un bonito lugar escondido detrás de la calle principal. La comida está bien presentada, sabrosa y ofrecen una enorme variedad de curry. He estado muchas veces y comer en llevar - siempre excelente.probar el cordero Podina!

Esta noche había 19 en nuestro grupo ... el servicio en particular fue rápida. No te aconsejo que iban a traer naans, diferentes arroces, Bombay patatas, etc. para la mesa y se tocó la cuenta más de lo que normalmente se. La comida estaba muy buena, aunque, sin comentarios negativos acerca de cualquier cosa.

I have eaten here many times, and had many takeaways, and have never been disappointed. Most people rave about the 'other' Indian restaurant in Whickham village, where they have become complacent about their popularity and the food standards have slipped, and now the food there is just,well, bland.On the other hand, Mr Choudhury and his staff go every inch to make you feel welcome, and you are appreciated as a valued customer rather than just a number. The food has taste, flavour, and the curries are a perfect mix of sauce, meat and spices. Everything tastes freshly cooked, the decor is nice, toilets spotless, cold beer, and lovely staff, who are very attentive. You only have to go there once and you are remembered. This restaurant deserves success, its No.1 by a country mile in Whickham as far as I am concerned, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I love indian food, have been eating it for 35 years and this is as good as it gets. Highly recommended.
