Crawcrook Tandoori in Gateshead

Lovely food and friendly staff.

Got a takeaway last night. The first time I've been, I won't be going back. The curry I ordered had no flavour. The poppadoms had no crispiness. Very substandard, the onion bhaji wasn't good eithe. Didn't enjoy at all. Wouldn't recommend it,

Collected a really good take away. Staff were polite and friendly. Food was really good. Will return there

First time coming here - ordered take out for 4 people with various meals. Only a 30 minute wait. Managed to park across the road - not loads of parking nearby that I could see, but it was dark. The staff were friendly and professional and it was clean and tidy inside. It could maybe do with a bit of light background music for the atmosphere. There were already a few people dining inside which was good going for a Monday early evening. The food was very nice, can't really say anything bad about it. We've gone to another nearby take out for years, as well as loads around the area - we're from Whickham so a bit of a drive, but this one was just as good and we'll definitely return.

Best Indian takeaway around amazing price and amazing quality great service wouldn’t go elsewhere

Collection was well organised and on time.

Fantastic food, great value. Polite, friendly staff.

We came here for takaway food during our holiday. I must say it was one of the finest currys I have had in a long time. Really fresh food and excellent service. They even gave us a couple of bottles of Cobra as our order was ober £60. Hugely recommended.

Had a takeaway tonight .not impressed at all .onion bhaji,s totally NO taste at all and cold ,and there was no salad and no sauce. chichen curry and pelaw rice was nice after I drained a cup of water off my plate .

My favourite Indian restaurant by far, staff are fab so friendly. Food great, and it's lovely to go out and have clean white table cloths and a great atmosphere.

Wee, we tried a few other places around here and I have nothing but regrets. Crawcrook tandoori has a simple menu and everything is delicious. Not going anywhere else.

After hearing good reports of this restaurant we made a booking for a Saturday evening. The restaurant was ticking over- mainly with couples like ourselves. The service really could not be faulted - welcoming and prompt. We chose the Special deal of poppadums, starter and mains with rice and naan for only £15.50 each. With the exception of the chicken tikka starter which had a bit of a rubbery texture, the food was hard to fault. A very pleasant and affordable meal - we will be back for more.

Staff very friendly and attentive. Food is really tasty, starters were great, but I felt the main courses needed to have more sauce. Flavours were good though, and I would still go again.

Only our second visit,buzzing. Food excellent, service superb especially when it was very busy

Excellent menu choice and service. Reasonable prices and take aways available.

1st time tonight for a takeaway absolutely beautiful starter was very tasty and the main course didn't disappoint either We'll definitely be back for a sit in. Mixed kebab starter Chicken madras Pilou rice Keema Nan

Great meal and amazing service. Love coming here, foid is always great and doesnt break the bank. Easy to boom a table via phone or social media and nothing is a problem for the staff.

I had a takeaway meal from this restaurant a few days ago for the first time in 6 years. I wish I had not bothered; the food was awful. My wife had a biriani and it was so bland that she didn't eat even half of it. My king prawn bhuna was not much better but I did manage to eat it all. We won't be using them again.

Back to our favourite place it's been a while, but the food and service was fantastic as normal we won't leave it as long next time

1st time visit and why I have never been there before food beats me food was piping hot and very tasty chicken tikka dhansak was one of the best I have had and chicken tikka shashlik also very good and tasty service was very good can’t wait to go back

Just been into Crawcrook Tandoori again this evening. Soooo delicious. The Chicken chaat is just absolutely gorgeous! The Keema was amazing and the peshwari naan so soft sweet and beautiful the perfect bread for a hot curry. The waiters are as Amazing as always so friendly, attentive and totally professional. Thank you so much for what you all do.

Brilliant service food not as good as previous owners.

Great village restaurant and takeaway.

Best Indians going, lovely staff. 11/10

I haven’t been to Crawcrook Tandoori for 2 years. I had moved back to London with work and now I’ve retired, I wanted to go back. I was so happy to see Shah & Jay and the food was still as beautiful as before. I really enjoyed my chicken chaat and the Luari lamb. Thank you for the amazing food guys. Great to see you both again after so long.

The chicken bhuna tasted like vegetable stew/ vegetable baby food. The starters, tandoori and breads were all lovely. Such a shame.

Order for takeaway first time trying the restaurant, ordered a chicken madras and chicken rogan both curries taste exactly the same. The nan bread and poppadoms are stale therefore must be few days old. Highly disappointed.

We order takeaway regularly and the food is always delicious 😋 staff are friendly and very efficient. Great value for money.

We ordered a takeaway for 6 of us to be collected the next day. Food was all ready to go when we got there and piping hot. Got it home and it was all delicious, best chicken balti I’ve had in years, everyone else loved theirs too. Really great, we’re stuffed! Thanks :)

A lovely little restaurant. Great food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Best poppadoms I've had. Try the coconut desert, delicious 😋

Best service and atmosphere that I’ve been for a long time. Food is fresh and delicious

Perfect as always. Never a bad meal.

Being vegan it is often difficult to know what it is possible to choose from an Indian menu, but the staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and patient, plus the food was really good. Can thoroughly recommend.

A nice friendly restaurant the only thing for me is that there needs to be a revamp on the menu. Other than this and it's really nice.

We LOVE this restaurant, Have been going there regularly for over 2 years Service is always perfect and so is the food, PROPER YUMMY !! We sometimes go for the takeaway option and the quality is as perfect as at the restaurant They are really helpful and understanding when it comes to food allergies Been to other "locals" but this is definitely THE BEST 👌

We normally get take out here. Thought we should have a treat and eat in. Service was impeccable. Food was incredible. Will be visiting again soon.

I ordered the meal for one, my little girl does not like anything spicy so ordered chips for her, I waited to pick up the order and my little girl was given an appletiser which she absolutely loved. I got my order went home and noticed the chips not there 😩, I live local so went down with all I ordered and explained no chips, to say they went above and beyond is an understatement we got a bag of hot chips which was all I was after but got extra, I not going to say what as don’t want people abusing such lovely people and the gesture they did, but was absolutely touched to the point I needed to say they are spot on, with customer service and looking after customers, I will definitely be back and recommend and I so happy they just on my door step, customer service is spot on, go Crawcrook tandoori ☺️

Absolutely marvellous, first class food First class throughout our visit A great bunch of lads

Always Excellent food and good value for money. Great staff

Fantastic food and brilliant service. Well worth a visit.

Alway tasty food from here but particularly great tonight. Thank you!

Beautiful food made by incredible staff. My first time visiting this restaurant and I will be back! Such a great atmosphere, the food is delicious and the staff are very kind and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful night and a delicious meal!

We were part of a fundraising group for Hope for Hedgehogs who visited Crawcrook Tandoori for the first time in April. A very warm welcome followed by excellent service - attentive but not intrusive, a skill that is hard to master. A truly amazing meal, full bellies all round. The question with any review should be , would you go back? Most definitely.

Great service and delicious food as usual.

Came here due to a recommendation. We ordered a take out meal. Very impressed with the service and the value given to our custom. All of our dishes were AMAZING. After using several local Indian takeaways, this is now our favorite. Well done everyone. We will be back soon.

Speciaal vanuit Nederland gekomen om hier te eten 🙂 Gezellig klein restaurant. Heerlijk gegeten en hele vriendelijke bediening. Zeker een aanrader om hier te eten.

Very nice and pleasant staff .food great

Normally fantastic but we had missing items and food was very average.

Me and a large group of family and friends attended the tandoori yesterday for my 30th birthday. I have to say my group chats are buzzing today with nothing but positive things about our experience. The food what’s phenomenal , the staff were excellent and friendly. Highly recommend !

I have used this place for many take away meals and have frequented the restaurant on numerous occasions and was always pleased with the food and the service until I ordered a take away curry in November 2022. The take away was supposed to be a Vindaloo curry but was as tame as a korma and the carton it came in was only half full? After all the business I have given this place... Very disappointed and have been using other take away places since, mind you I should have complained about the curry straight away but I didn't.

Delicious food and excellent service!

Excellent service, choice and quality of food.

1 - completely missed my starter.....second year running, despite 'apparently" checking the order. 2 - I've never had to put salt in a takeaway curry, had to with all three meals as they were absolutely tasteless, 3 - check your menu, chicken Luari is supposed to come with fresh coriander........none whatsoever 4 - inedible Naan breads, both burned to a crisp, very dry turned to powder inside 5 - since when had plain pilaw been orangy pink ? 6 - crispy cabbage bhaji........NOT ........soft & soggy If you are so busy you can't cook the food properly then stop taking bookings, stop being greedy, your greed has ruined my evening!!!! I shan't be returning or recommending you anytime soon As they say "thanks for nothing" Alex P

Great food and service. Always lovely and helpful staff.

As per, this restaurant always hits the highs. Not only is the food made to a high standard, but they even included a Christmas card and a few presents inside. We always love going here, and always will. Merry Christmas Crawcrook Tandoori

Fabulous food. Really made my birthday special. Thanks so much for the extras

Absolutely delicious ,will be back, service great

Delicious order as usual! Best takeaway in the area 100%.

Bought a takeaway meal for a midweek treat , Food in restaurant normally very good during our previous visits with attentive service and reasonable prices. However can’t say the same about their takeaway service as this is not the first time we have been disappointed in this regard. We ordered a chicken tikka masala main course with tikka starter . Whilst the main course was fine the chicken tikka was over cooked and dry. Salad consisted of a bag of warm lettuce with absolutely nothing else , not even tomatoes ect which would be the norm . Very disappointed and wondering if restaurant now letting their standards slip. Can still recommend main restaurant dinning but would be very reluctant ordering a take out meal as they are simply worlds apart.

Phoned the order through, asking if they would make my favourite...a Saag. Of course they would, nothing too much trouble. Food was simply gorgeous.

favourite takeaway in whole world, sad to see jay go.

Second time we have visited this restaurant and we we were not disapointed. The food is very good and the portions are big enough. The staff ate friendly and very helpful, I can see why they have won best restaurant in gateshead 2022. Crawcrook tandori will be our regular indian restaurant in the future

Great quality, good, and service as always.

As Indian meals go this was very good. We has a meal for two people with drinks. The food was full of good flavour and it was a very nice quantity. Two main meals, two rice, two naan, two beer and a soft drink. £35,...

There is a reason crawcrook is an award winning restaurant in Gateshead. Amazing food.

OMG amazing!!! We eat curry a lot & honestly this is the best curry I have ever had. King prawn Chilli chingry …..just beautiful rich velvety sauce & peshwari naan to die for. My partner had chicken tikka jalfrezi which he said was amazing too....

Excellent food and service as ever. We sat chatting long after meal was finished but there was no pressure to leave. Great

Fantastic food as always! Can’t recommend Crawcrook Tandori enough. Best Indian takeaway around. If you are thinking about trying them- do it! You won’t regret it.

Just received my food and very disappointed. Tikka masala totally tasteless and the garlic nan tastes like plain nan. Chips under cooked.

Excellent again, cant fault it in any way. Well seasoned dished and combinations of flavours. Thanks guys!

Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff

Food delicious, piping hot and definitely worth the price compared to other local takeaways. Would defo recommend.

Excellent. Really tasty food and good portions.

Best Indian takeaway n restaurant about. Could do with maybe more vegetarian options when eating in

Absolutely terrible food, ordered a lamb madras and received 4 pieces of lamb in some very watery, bland liquid. Ended up throwing it away and just resigned myself never to go again

Excellent food. Efficient service for take away. Will want to return as a sitting customer

Amazing value for money Good beautiful as always And ready quicker than advised :)

Delicious food excellent service , we went there for my daughters 16th birthday staff were amazing brought out her cake sang Happy birthday made it a very special night will definitely be back .

Fabulous restaurant The food was great and the table service excellent. It was our first visit and we were made to feel very welcome All such nice freindly staff would definitely go again a very enjoyable evening 😊

Fantastic food and service as usual! Highly recommend!

Great place. We go back there time and again. Friendly staff. Great food. The vegetarian menu could do with a shake up, otherwise 5 stars.

Although the place was almost empty there was a steady stream of take away customers, which is always a good indicator. We opted for the house special comprising of onion bhajis with poppadoms and a selection of dips with chicken tikka bites. We then had chicken balti and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan bread and pilau rice. The food was well presented, cooked to perfection and hot on the plate. The service was first class and the price was very reasonable. All in all we had a very enjoyable meal in a clean and pleasant environment served by attentive and polite staff. Would thoroughly recommend.

only received one of two naan breads

Excellent food and friendly staff. Only issue is parking near the restaurant can be difficult. On street and aleays seems busy.

Excellent food and friendly people.

Brilliant food at a good price.

Excellent service, wonderful food and brilliant ambiance. Thank you x

We haven't eaten here since 2019 because of Covid so it was a great pleasure to return recently when visiting my sister. We were early enough to qualify for the early evening menu which was delightful as always! My hubby ordered from the main menu...

Delicious friendly staff and amazing food😋👌😋

Always amazing food and service

Amazing every time. Jay and the team can't do enough for you. Always great food and experience.

Amazing food and service. Recommended thoroughly!

The food was alright. Not the best I have had and I found the menu quite small with not a big selection of different dishes. The staff were nice and helpful.

Excellent service.great choice of food.

Brilliant service, delicious food as usual!

Absolutely fabulous food. Very clean and tidy. Friendly polite staff and does my favourite dish...Chilli Chingri 😋

Lovely takeaway. The food is packed with flavour and when a dish says hot it actually means hot, eg madras is my go to and you should know you’ve had a curry once you’ve ate it and this place nails it spot on. The portion...

Food was lovely and collection time was great

This Indian was very tasty and we would order from here again :) it was very hot as in temperature and nothing was overly greasy. My parents eat from here quite often.

As Crawcrook residents we are so lucky to have this wonderful restaurant on our doorstep. It’s a wonderful example of a Tandoori, food is plentiful and delicious. Takeaway is delivered or picked up wonderfully hot both in temperature and flavour. Yummy.
