Eastern Touch in South Tyneside - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Poor, everything was a rush, expensive ££££££

Another visit to our local Indian restaurant and we are so lucky to have this place on our doorstep. I’ve tried most of the Chefs speciality dishes and my wife usually has a standard curry - never been disappointed . The staff are simply the best and can’t do enough for you - all so friendly , helpful and pay attention to your needs We went through a stage when we were there most weeks but then we’ve been on a fitness/ health kick and regretfully haven’t visited as often …….but pleased to see that their standards haven’t dropped.

Been to Eastern Touch recently for the first time and it instantly became my favourite spot for Indian cuisine. The service from the attentive staff was excellent, and the food is to die for. Special mention to the ever friendly Russel, who goes above and beyond to make sure every visit was a perfect meal. After countless delectable visits I returned for my birthday. They made my 21st birthday celebrations a special evening to remember. I could not recommend Eastern Touch enough!

Ambience was lovely, cosy, music not too loud, service impeccable, food delicious, perfectly cooked, good amount, we finished all dishes. Very clean. Will definitely return.

Highly recommend this restaurant food service and staff is excellent. I would highly recommend the tikka chicken byriani full of lovely flavours

Great staff, friendly atmosphere and couldnt do enough, hosted a birthday party and the food and service was outstanding! Cheers guys

Excellent food and impeccable service from a brilliant team. Thankyou . Everyone was so welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended .

Went here last night with a few friends who are all curry veterans! Everyone commented how good the food was here. I had the garlic chilli chicken which was delicious and honestly, i could have again today! Superb quality and we'll deff be going back soon. highly recommended.

This review is based on the takeaway menu and service. We were so looking forward to trying Eastern Touch as the reviews were so good, but we have been left feeling slightly disappointed. Customer service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice authentic style Indian restaurant. Food was ok, nice and well packaged. Not much more to say to be fair, suppose our expectations were too high after reading the excellent reviews but we have had better elsewhere. I feel bad for leaving this 'slightly' negative review because it looks a lovely restaurant and the staff were really nice, but at the end of the day the review is about the food. I would suggest trying it out to see if it's for you, sadly it's not for us.

We visited Eastern Touch this evening for our evening meal. I was cold when I first went in and one of the staff put the overhead heater on which was very welcoming. The food was excellent and very good value and good quality food.Everything was hot and tasty. The staff were very welcoming and very attentive nothing was too much trouble for them. I would definitely recommend Eastern Touch to anyone

Went to eastern touch east boldon for evening meal arrived at 6.30 .absolutely fantastic meal best curry I've had for a long time. waiters very polite nothing was a problem.will definitely be back or get a carry out.

Great service and always try to find us a table even when busy. Go here regularly and always excellent flavours and choice. Highly recommended.

Superb, simply superb. Once again a fantastic meal from start to finish. The onion bhaji’s are to die for and the lamb chops are the best I’ve ever had. If you’ve not been, please try it. You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely restaurant, great food and friendly efficient service.

Friendly atmosphere and great food, the staff were lovely and very attentive, the food came out in good time and overall we really enjoyed our meal here.

Another fantastic visit to the eastern touch tonight! Food was fast, fresh and tasty. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I go with a friend whos in a wheelchair and the staff always go above and beyond to accommodate us. Big shout out to Abdul! Hes always so chatty and welcoming. 5* would recommend and will definitely be returning!

went here on the recommendation from friends who visit regularly. My first time but will definitely be back! The venue itself is easy to find being right next to East Boldon metro station. On arrival you enter via a reception area and go through a narrow archway to get into the restaurant. I'm a wheelchair user but can walk with crutches to my seat. Not sure if a wheelchair user who cannot walk at all would be able to get through this archway. Once in the restaurant I could see there were hardback benches/seats which are perfect for my back so I requested to be sat on one of those. Looking at the menu over my first job is always to check out the red wine selection of course! I found a simple selection of 4 different types. As I was not in the mood for heavy drinking I opted for a large house red which was good enough. Checking out the food menu I could see so many choices that would satisfy my appetite! I also spotted some dishes that I'd never had before. After a few helpful answers from the very friendly staff I opted for a spicy bullet starter and Resala King prawn for mains with garlic and chill naan. The food was sensational! Both dishes cooked vindaloo hot as requested! And very moderate priced too! 4 of us ate there and total bill came to £115. Excellent value for money! Thank you for a great night and see you soon!

Great staff very helpful great food keep up the hard work highly recommended the tikka chicken biriani is delicious also the eastern touch special rice

Family meal for birthday. The food was very well presented and tasted delicious. Wonderful staff. We were made so welcome and at home. Special attention for the birthday girl aged 88. Can definitely recommend this restaurant. Also took a take away home for a family member who couldn't make it. Thanks guys.

Exellent!! The food is amazing- everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the service was fantastic too. Absolutely spot on. We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely be going back. So glad we discovered this place. 😀

We've just had a fantastic time at the Eastern Touch for an 88th birthday. The food was delicious. The staff were all very friendly and so attentive. They couldn't have done more. We got parked right outside. I've only knocked a star off for atmosphere as we were the only ones in th restaurant for a while (Sunday evening), although it was like a private party! Thank you so much for a great night.

The food is amazing- everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The service was fantastic too, staff are very friendly and welcoming so theres a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in. We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back.

Excellent food, excellent service

Lovely family meal this evening, service exceptional, food was absolutely delicious, we will definitely be returning, thank you 😊

Excellent service and fabulous food which makes a very happy night out. Superb menu and all our dishes were hot, fresh and extremely flavoursome. All the staff were very attentive and accommodating.

Attentive staff, excellent food with fresh ingredients. Have been eating here for years and the quality is reliable and consistently high

Lovely tasty food, good portions and very reasonable cost. Great friendly service, would definitely recommend. So lucky to have this on our doorstep.

The best and most consistent restaurant I've ever been to and the staff are very friendly 👌 I go with my girlfriend who introduced me to the restaurant and its my favourite.

We are regulars here and food / service is always spot on. We bring friends here a lot and every time they see why it’s our favourite Indian restaurant

Lovely local Indian restaurant.Food very good plenty of choice on menu service second to none staff friendly and attentive

Unbelievable food, as always. Ate inside this time, it's been a while since I've had a sit-down meal here. It'll not be long until I have another, I'll tell you that! Butter Chicken was delicious as always, and the Keema Naan was excellent!

Having been a regular customer for a while now, I can honestly say that the Eastern Touch is the best Indian restaurant in the North East! The menu is diverse, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and most importantly the food is excellent. In...

I have visited many restaurants but Eastern Touch is head and shoulders above the rest! The podina Zall is the best curry I've tasted in my life. Service is top knoch too. See you soon.

I recently dined at Eastern Touch after a good few years due to moving away for work and had a fantastic experience as always. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. What truly stood out was the consistently brilliant...

Absolutely GORGEOUS! I've eaten at this restaurant multiple times before, but due to illness last week I decided to get a delivery. Food arrived hot, fresh and pristine, and the driver was absolutely lovely, warm and friendly! Definitely going to get food delivered more often!...

A cosy little restaurant which also offers fine dining experience. Staff are super attentive so will cater your order to individual preference. I will most certainly be returning with my friends and colleagues.

Rang to order a takeaway to pay by card which we have done every 2 weeks for the past 20 years to be shouted at that you can’t pay by card and that we were holding up the phone line for other customers obviously no...

Son recommended eastern touch and I'm glad he did.just visited for take aways food excellent both times visited a little bit dearer than some restaurants but well worth the difference staff friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend and worthy of five stars

Prices higher than London prices and food 3 out of 10, whereas in London the food is 10 out of 10.

Always great food staff are very friendly

Great night out with friends, food delicious and good atmosphere, def recommend

The taste and quality is outstanding, so fresh. A warm welcome always from the friendly staff, who are so attentive. Our favourite to visit.

I haven’t been here for a long, long time and we decided to pay a visit. I love the new decor, very nice with lovely background music. The service was excellent and prompt. The food is absolutely amazing. I haven’t had such great food for...

Warm atmosphere, very professional and pleasant staff, good mix of basic and new Indian food. Will be returning.

Absolutely beautiful food and impeccable and amazing service! We love this restaurant. Have had both eat in and take away service and can't say anything negative at all. It is a bit pricier than average but well worth it for the quality and taste of the food. Give it a shot. Enjoy!

We visited last night with our 6 year old for dinner. The staff were very welcoming and friendly - the service was quick. The food was amazing. We all enjoyed our meals and can't wait to return. Thanks to Russell and his team. I would...

We had a lovely meal. The staff were attentive. Prices very fair considering the economy at present. Would like to have had some heating on as we were cold during our visit. Thank you.

Just a heads up about the pricing at Eastern touch !!!! We ordered a takeaway that's normally twenty odd quid with delivery. Tonight we were told thirty odd quid,we rang back to check the prices and all the prices are more than they advertise online.They must be making thousands a week from this scam. Fair enough put your prices up,but you must not decieve people...adjust your website first.you have lost a large family of regular customers.

The food was awesome today and more importantly these guys made a curry avoiding all dairy for my 3 year old. Thank you so much guys my daughter loved it.

Fabulous restaurant with an incredible array of main dishes. Had the Punjabi Stir-fry to start and the Sri Lankan for mains, which was as good as any I've had. Good atmosphere, quite an intimate venue with very attentive staff. Will definitely be back to sample more from the menu.

Great deal on Monday to Thursday. Excellent service and really nice curry.

Although local to us we haven't tried from Eastern Touch for years but we will definetly be back. Best curry I've had years. Beautiful food with loads of flavour.

Really nice curry, good service, friendly, lovely restaurant really recommend a visit 😋😁👌

Very nice all round. Food was lovely. Good service.

Don’t usually write reviews but I’ve enjoyed my food so much it needs to be done!! Thanks for the best takeaway I’ve had in a longtime. Great food, good price and friendly service. Be back soon :)

Very tasty food and good value. The menu has a really good range of dishes too.

Lovely local restaurant. Staff are super friendly and the food is great. Always order from the Chef's Specials, I love the Shan Se and the Podina Zal Murghi.

Excellent food. Great value but it 7pm on a Tuesday night we were the only ones there so as you can imagine, the service was also excellent.

Great food as always! Service was perfect, I always feel like family when I'm here. Been coming here for a good few months now, and it's become our go-to for takeaways and dine-in.

Fantastic meal as always highly recommend this restaurant / takeaway polite staff good price

Amazing food, great service! Got a takeaway and never looked back. It's my go-to for takeaways now! Fully recommend the chicken tikka masala!

First impression is just wow! Well decorated. Nice bar space for waiting and having some drinks. Inside is nice as well. Food is absolutely brilliant. Punjabi stir fry is very good. Tandoori dishes are nice as well. And they have some good food choices on...

꧁ Authentic Indian food and very good staff, It was awesome. Would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to try good Indian food ꧂

Great resteraunt with excellent service

Always great food, friendly staff, highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic food and service best curry around

I've ate in at this restaurant approx 4 times and tonight had my second takeaway special On both occasions I had Bhuna prawn on puree ( plz excuse the spelling) and on both occasions it was barely warm. The first time of trying I emptied...

The best food by far. Love this place. Beautiful tasty food everytime. Wouldn't go anywhere else, and it's right on my doorstep too. Brilliant friendly staff.

Beautiful curry, lovely service deffo go again.

The best in the north East! For both restaurant and takeaways!!

Heard lots of promising things about this place (apart from the chips which are basically oven chips). Especially from a friend who lives about 100 metres away from me and got a delivery. Was very excited to try it. Phoned up tonight, order ready to go and get told it’s too far for them to deliver. I’ve now fell out with my wife because she’s hangry. Also heard one of the managers moonlights at smulders

Food is always amazing, the staff greet you like an old friend and are the picture of service with a smile. Covid-19 delivery was brilliant and their dine in set up for a small restaurant is perfect and safe. Pity I can't give 6 stars

Very friendly and lovely food with lots off selection

Won a meal from here, from ordering to getting our food was a pleasure Russell was so nice and nothing was a bother,and the meal it self was fantastic can't thank you enough Russell will definitely be back x

Wonderful food everytime either in Restaurant or Takeaway..staff as always are wonderful and remember you...We have been going to this wonderful restaurant for many years and will continue to do so ....Thank you Eastern Touch

Visited on a week night opted for the special menu. Food was lovely and plenty of choice, including good veggie options. Portion size was generous. Would highly recommend - great value for money. Staff lovely and service efficient. Will definitely be back. Thank you x

Fantastic meal yet again. The Podina Zall was the best curry I ever tasted. Excellent service, great atmosphere. Keep it up Eastern Touch! You are a credit to Indian cuisine in the North East.

Called in for the first time and certainly won't be the last time, great service amazing food and a great atmosphere... cheers Eastern Touch fantastic restaurant

I have eaten here regularly for around twenty years and I have never had a curry anywhere else that comes close. Consistent quality, excellent friendly service and good value for money (especially off the special menu).

Absolutely lovely - top quality

This is my second visit and I must say it’s the most authentic Indian restaurant I’ve been to. From the meal to service everything first class.

Good food served promptly on hot plates. Small premises but clean and bright. One star removed as one waiter repeatedly wiped his nose with his hand and four king prawns in a main dish is tight!

Amazing food, sit in and takeaway are quality

Great local Indian, recently refurbished and looking snazzy!

Smashing meal and warm friendly waiters

Last minute decision to go out for a meal. Stayed local and wasn’t disappointed. Friendly and prompt service, lovely food including starter and mains. Average pricing.

Called in here for my wife's 65th birthday meal. Highly disappointing the buhna prawn on puree was luke warm. The pickle tray was minimal with three dishes, the poppadums were microwaved I'm sure. Along with horrible skinny fries, and microwaved rice, The curries them selves...

Been ordering from here for years and recently the staff have been very cheeky and unprofessional. They forgot nan bread and when I phoned them up to let them know the y started arguing with me about some nan bread. Pathetic. Never going back.

Forgot nan bread rang up and told me I didn't order a meal deal with a nan when I did. Poor customer had the cheek to argue with me over a nan bread.. terrible service.. miserable staff!

Bad customer service rude staff!

Just had a takeaway delivered for £18. I ordered king prawn masala with pilau rice and a garlic nan with extra garlic. There was only 5 prawns In the curry. The nan bread was dry and burnt and tasted nothing like garlic. Not even a...

Absolutely gorgeous food.. lovely atmosphere in here, great staff, had a great night here. Great and handy location. Definitely will come back

Clean, modern and good friendly staff who served us good food. The spicy popaddom blew my head! But the tillage salmon and our main courses were fab! Not a bad place to end the night after a few boldon bars/pubs

Came here as heard good things and was not disappointed great service and great food and very well situated right next to the metro and a good pub

Tasty, nice atmosphere, just a little space problem

Didn't enjoy the food and felt the staff could not wait to get us out of the door. Won't be going back for a long time (again).
