Food is delicious, well presented and staff are wonderful. They are so friendly, helpful, nothing is too much. They even custom made us a naan bread, cheese, garlic and coriander. This should be on the menu all the time. We often eat in and get take aways. Wouldn't go anywhere else now. Thank you so much xxx

Had an absolutely awesome evening at the Dilshad. Service is excellent super friendly welcoming restaurant. Everything was perfect for us the welcome the restaurant and the food are all superb. If your visiting South Shields or a local the Dilshad is not to be missed. The restaurant has been given a full refurbishment and looking cool and contemporary. The menu has all the usual delights with some extra special meals that can't be found elsewhere. We had a superb meal and brilliant night thanks to the staff. A must go restaurant in South Shields.

A very nice restaurant with a great atmopshere, staff and owner. The owner is very down-to-earth, modest, respectful and kind in nature. The food is top quality with plenty of flavour and taste. The spiciness ranging from hot to mild, depending on your palette. I would definitely recommend visiting here if you come around Ocean Road in South Shields. I appreciate the hosting of the meeting of my sister and future brother-in-law. The restaurant and owner did a very good job providing a very welcoming and endearing environment we all enjoyed being within. Definitely wouldn't mind coming again for future events and meetings.

This place closed for a while during Covid and was only operating as a takeaway but has recently reopened as a fully licensed restaurant again. We’ve been twice since its reopening and it’s as good as we remember. Great food and wonderful, friendly service. Well done and keep it up Dilshad!

What has happened, this place was gorgeous, now tikka masala tasted like a plain curry, and not red, the korma was not sweet and tastes of the base curry.

just had to leave a review. food was delivered hot and everything was beautiful. the mixed kebab especially was the best i’ve had. everything in it was juicy and cooked perfectly, no dry or overcooked food. very impressed. also the mint sauce should be sold in bottles.

I've tried many of the Ocean Road curry houses and to date have never had a bad one. Sadly that statistic is no longer true. Firstly the almost 3 hour delivery time was shocking. Very off tasting pieces of what was supposed to be chicken tikka. A mushroom pilau with about 2 flakes of mushroom. An almost stale and very dry naan bread. The oddest tasting CTM we've ever had. Half went in bin.

I'm so disappointed and frustrated with this business. We've been customers for years both in the restaurant and takeaway. We stopped ordering for a while because they kept getting the order wrong. We're back and it's still happening! Missed mango chutney — I know, it seems small, but with onion salad on poppadoms it's a main part of our meal (we don't eat much). I called and they said they'd get some to us in 20 minutes. 4 hours later, I guess it's not coming. It sucks because the food at this place is phenomenal.... honestly, it's delicious. They just need to take more care to get orders right. They did offer a free bhaji, but try getting that 3 or 4 weeks later when it's all been forgotten about!!! If your willing to chance getting the wrong order, go for it! You're sure to enjoy whatever you get.

Dilshad gets 5 stars for hygiene, something we’ve never really thought about mentioning when ordering online. It also gets 5 stars from us for a great meal, delivered quickly, hot and ready to eat. (Again they had to ring us to find our address) I tried the Dupiaza as well as pinching some of my husbands Sizzler Murgh. Both were great to taste, not spicy, just all taste. Sundries we’re great too, plenty of keema in the naan which sometimes other restaurants seem to scrimp with. We kept the extra sauce too make a chicken curry later in the week.

For a change my husband opted for a Sizzler Murgh with extra sauce. He said it was lovely, different in a nice way to his normal choice. I went for the Dupiaza, again for a change. Lovely food. Despite some delay, which appears to be a glitch on the delivery app, (the restaurant always ring us up to say, where is your house!) the food was still ready for serving. The spicy chips, keema naan and mushroom pilau were as good as ever. Plenty left over and money off made this a win win meal.

Ocean Road has a variety of indian restaurants, and i have tried most of them. None of them are as nice as Dilshad. They provide the same high quality food every single time. I keep waiting for them to have an off day like some other places i have been, but it hasn't happened. My only tiny piece of advice is make the Sri Lankan curries a bit spicier. Other than that, the place is Number 1!!

After a busy day, a curry was the answer and we utilised a delivery service to get a 25% discount. Now, if the food isn’t good, any discount doesn’t really matter but the Dilshad was spot on again. Delivered on time, ready to serve and enjoy. Great end to a tiring day.

We often order from Dilshad on Ocean Road and it's only just occurred to me now to actually review it!The food from here is always top notch. Fresh ingredients and every dish has its own distinct flavour. We must have ordered every dish on the menu over the years and this place has NEVER disappointed us. For takeaway, the website is a dream to both use and to order on, plus you get a text update when your food has actually been sent out. Dilshad is also a restaurant and I have eaten there many times before and the service is always nothing short of impeccable. Presentation is World Class, food is always hot and fresh and prices are VERY reasonable. Whether dining at home or in the restaurant, you will always be 100% satisfied. There's a reason this place has been there for years and years. I implore you to try it for yourself.

Me and a friend attended the Dilshad recently after a long trip to Newcastle. There is ALOT of competition on the road with maybe around another 10 curry houses. What caught our eye was 5 items for £10 meal deal in the window (1main, 1starter, 1rice, 1 nan, some poppadoms). We thought this fantastic value for money so entered the establishment. After being seated and requesting what was advertised in the window; we were told that this was for takeaway only and looked at as if this should of been obvious to us. The deal in the window has NO mention of this at all and tbh we felt a little scammed by this false advertisement. We stayed anyway.The food was nice and pleasant staff, I’d just take that sign down or make it clearer because we spent an additional £10 on what we would of got within the deal.

We always choose the dilshad for family occasions. The food is always beautiful and the service is fantastic. Whenever we ring to book they remind us that the restaurant is alcohol free, this has never ever stopped us. By far the best experience and we have tried all of the curry houses on ocean road and they always cater for pur ever growing family of 18 and 3 toddlers! We love it.

The one star is because our waiter was lovely....my curry did not taste finished as though it needed a little longer to cook, the rice was cool, the naan bread was flat as it was not cooked through so I could not eat, so I ate the chicken from the curry and not much else, my tummy was not happy about that, never mind, I know not to go back.

Placed s biggish order for a takeaway on Monday night, 27th (Bank Holiday Monday). We were told to expect a bit of a delay but as it turned out, not only did we get a text to say it was on its way but also, it arrived in good time. I have to say, this was the tastiest food I’ve had from any of the other restaurants in Ocean Road. Congratulate the Chef who was on duty and let me know his working nights, as I’ll be sure to want his food again. All in all, excellent, customer service and excellent food. Thank you

We had different curries, rice, chips, popadoms and drinks. Very reasonably priced! The staff were friendly and attentive. Food is the best! Will be visiting again in the near future. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.

Ordered from Just eat and really wish I never! Was awful! Worst Indian we have ever eaten! The chicken pakora had no chicken in it,l and was super greasy, the chicken tikka stir fry was chewing and like rubber. The fried rice was basically all onions which were not even cut properly. The Masala sauce was thick and vile, even the cheese naan was horrible, it was filled with thick rubbery sliced cheese. Will not be back and definitely will not be recommending this!! Worst £25 we have ever spent!! If I could give less that 1 star I would!
