Fawdon Tandoori in Newcastle upon Tyne

Have used this takeaway since they first opened, as have all my family. So sad to say the food is just not good anymore. We have had a few poor meal recently. Put it down to a one off and tried again. Our meal last week was not much better than awful.chicken tikka mossalla was lumpy with a very strange synthetic taste and the chicken chewy as if not cooked, rice was so oily, we couldn't eat it and the nann bread was just soaken wet, cold and soggy. A nearly £40 meal was pretty much binned. Such a shame, will try somewhere different.

Best curry we’ve had in a long time. Very friendly service when ordering over the phone. Food was lovely and fresh, tasted amazing! Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Always amazing quality food and exceptional service. Love the new look too. Well done

I usually go for Chef Special Nan Baab with their spicy chips 10/10. The Jhall mosala nan baab is lush too. Highly recommend

There website is the down fall cant get to order as keeps taking back to home screen to start all over again cant even place order as takes back home screen

Absolutely DISGUSTING! The food quality is a disgrace! I ordered last night, initially the driver failed to find my address and then when I called again they told me that it is my problem and that I need to come and collect it. Upon arriving to collect it, I had to pay an extra fee for the "driver's fuel being wasted". I just did it as I was THREATENED by the staff! Upon receiving my food, it was cold and they refused to HEAT IT UP! Pathetic service, the food was cold, hard and tasted like someone took a PISS in it. I also found a dead cockroach. Business has been reported to Trading Standards and Newcastle Council Food Safety Team. I also saw a pair of rats running behind the takeaway next to the Metro Station out of the bins!! DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE POISONED!!!!!

Food was delicious, I gave a four because my pathia wasn't hot at all and full of onions but apart from that top notch grub, service great, the guy at the till is a top bloke, Atmos 4 because it's a takeaway, not exactly expecting anything special.

Hi it’s mark from Walbottle wow is all I can say I live five miles away the food was the bolcks meaning the best I’ve ever ate ever.im seriously the food was so tasty even the guy u order from on the phone such a welcoming manor and has made us enjoy. People I say it how it is the food is mint u must try

Food poison from king prawns never eat there again foul

Moved locally 6 months ago, had about 6 take aways from here, very good, very consistent, the best I have had in Newcastle and we have had quite a lot in different places locally, some we paid a lot of money for and still not as good as here, recommend online ordering and payment works well, thanks Lee

Mi comida era absolutamente perfecta, a tiempo, caliente y según lo ordenado, gracias, no es de extrañar que seas una de las mejores comidas para llevar en la zona, mi ir a 🔥💥

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I just had the most incredible meal from Fawdon Tandoori! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Chilli Masala, and both dishes were absolutely outstanding. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor – it had the perfect balance of spices and tenderness. The Lamb Chilli Masala was a spicy delight, with tender pieces of lamb that were perfectly cooked and soaked in a vibrant, spicy sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The portions were generous, and the food was delivered hot and fresh. It's clear that the chefs at Fawdon Tandoori know how to bring out the best in Indian cuisine. I couldn't be happier with my meal, and I'll definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommended!"

Really tasty NaanBabs and the tandoori chicken starter was fresh and tasty. Complimentary chips was a nice touch...they also tasted great. Highly recommended

Just been served a teen , and I was advised to change my attire. Proper Muslim food. Horrible staff, I would never go back

Ordered tikka mossalla nan that appeared to have very little but sugar, red food colouring and sliced precooked chicken, in it, nothing remotely authentic. Very disappointing 😞 although the nan was OK but also seemed a bit sweet.

Love this place, been going for over 10 years. Food is always tasty and hot.

Great really tasty food, thank you

First time ordering here and it won't be the last food was unreal delivered on the time it said it would be here 💯👍

Have been going for a long time now the past three time I have been there have been stuff missing ring up to get told I will give u discount next time and I havnt getting it not happy with the shop

We ordered a takeaway. The food arrived exactly on time with friendly delivery. The food was delicious with big chunks of meat and tasty, thick sauce. The tomato sauce on top of the rogan was especially good! We will definitely order from here again

Honestly the best Indians around haven’t found better. Food is always unreal and tastes amazing. The quality is second to none. Thanks so much again for lush food!!

Got delivery today, absolutely shambles. Ordered a lamb rogan josh got the complete wrong thing couldn't even make out what it said it was. Ordered a garlic naan and plain but they sent 2 plain. Naans were underdone and just not to standard.

We had food recently and it was absolutely lovely definitely better than it was year ago wen we had it keep it up lads

Terrible service wrong order not willing to correct also just been told they received a zero stat food hygiene few months back . Prawns were over cooked

Great food. Wonderful tandoori kebabs. Cash only, which is a bit annoying. The website is a pain to order through. Very easy to get to, with parking at the front and back.

I’ve just had a mutton rogan josh it was beautiful my partner had mutton madras which was lovely first time but won’t be the last the man on counter said see you next week and we will be back well worth a visit

Enjoyable meal - decent portions too. Slow service when busy but that's the price you pay for choosing a popular place.

In my opinion, the best Indian takeaway in our area. Always excellent food and reasonable delivery times.

Won’t deliver unless you live 5 minutes away.

It’s been a while but OMG, great food lads, everything just spot on, we’ll be ordering again v soon, thank you, not sure why it’s been so long, my bad 💥

This takeaway is by far the very best tandoori takeaway in the north east, by a mile! The food is amazing, the service is excellent and the staff are always professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. If you’ve never tried it before give it a go, you’ve tried the rest, now try the best….

Love ordering from here, the food is always fresh and hot, staff are always welcoming! Would recommend to everyone…infact I always do!! Will definitely be ordering again!

5 star hygiene certificate & 5 star food.

Great takeaway, fantastic choice, quality food, reasonably priced, would certainly recommend.

I must have been served left overs from I don't know when, tasted horrible, dry and made me sick. I will never go back even if I have to die hungry

Best tandorri for years, last nights takeaway was inedible, chips were dry and hard as if they were standing 3 days curry was ok but previous curries a lot better and Nan wasn’t cooked enough , is it under new management?? mentioned this to my daughter to be informed recent hygiene inspection ( March 23) rated 1star , what’s happened??? Used to be one of the best on the north east by far , lost my custom very saddened by last nights takeaway

Worst food i have ever had Completely waste of money 🤮 it doesn’t taste like indian food Straight gone into bin..

Top food, top lads, a big fave of mine, thank you 💥

Best Indians I've had and would recommend. Went for the samba which is billed as being "like a staff curry", very nice.

Got chicken tikka masala. Instantly made me sick, caused heavy breathing. Got pneumonia a few days later. Food hygiene is sus. Literally 5 bites in I felt so sick I was going good is and puked it all up. Went to this place for years and can’t trust them now EDIT Got a bacterial infection from the food now have reduced nervous system function from the bacteria in the food. Had the food and was sick the next day!

Always fantastic food from here. Hot and fresh.

This is the worst Indian food i had on my life. No taste for anything. Food in not cooked properly. Not sure why it is expensive too!!! Straight to the bin :( really bad experience.

Great takeaway, best I've had in the area

Tried for the first time tonight. Food delicious, and still hot when dished up. Begal dish wasn't what I was expecting but it definitely will be my new favourite going forward. I would highly recommend 👌

Great takeaway, fantastic choice, reasonably priced, friendly staff and brilliant food. Enough said.

My favourite indian restaurant hands-down! The naanbabs are the best thing I've ever tasted.

My very first time ordering from this place was amazing and I will have to be back and back and back because the food is so freshly cook the stuff is amazing too the prices are really good too expensive food and you expect expensive ingredients which they are providing

Lovely meal. Food was spot on. Will be back for more

Good, prompt, welcoming service. Decent waiting time, great packing and food was awesome. Can give 100 out of 100 anyday...

This second review of FT coincides with the second time I’ve ate their food. I must say, my overwhelming sense was one of disappointment. I wanted to taste a curry which revealed layer upon layer of flavours. That didn’t happen. All I got was heat from the chillis. No depth. No breadth. No bandwidth to the notes. My naan was dry. And the fabled FT chips were at best average. I tasted nothing to compel my return.

Best takeaway in our area, everything tastes amazing

Too much colour in the food and oily. Seeing the reviews we ordered, never again.

Messed our delivery up twice However have reassuringly said they will reimburse for the food we payed for and didn't receive next time we order plus a discount

Great food what ever you order from here. Never been disappointed

Excellent best Indians in North East

Brilliant service, food is always great.

Amazing takeaway. They missed an item off our original order but were so prompt in replacing it and giving us a few freebies!! The food was superb and restaurant-quality. Delivery driver (lad with the glasses) was lovely, will 10000% be ordering again!

Due to circumstances I’ve not been here for yonks, still too staff and top food, thank you gents, I’ll be back soon 💥

Order was mixed up/lost. Ended up waiting 45 minutes to collect food

One of the nicest curries I have had in awhile. It was extremely tasty and the flavours were on point!

Absolutely amazing meal. We love this place. It’s so full of flavour and presentation is second to none. Wouldn’t go anywhere else xx ❤️💋👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍾

Fantastic food, great prices, great delivery, Highly recommended

Food always good friendly staff good choice on menu.

Food is gorgeous and delivery always quick

Based on what I order they provide consistently good food

Indians tonight & looked online . No Deliveroo or Just Eat so went to pick it up . The guy’s in the shop were really busy but friendly & lovely greetings & byes . Food was lovely & hot & tasted amazing . We had chicken pakoras with a dip , chicken tikka masala , garlic chicken , garlic & special rice & a nan , cost £27 . Definitely be back just lovely thanks 👍🏼

We continue to visit this establishment because it’s always excellent, the hubby even tells me the lads in reception are good craic, thank you 👍

Tried this for the first time and will definitely be our new go to takeaway. Food was lovely.

1st time try this week and it will definitely not be the last, my new fave Indian takeaway, cheers 👍

Delicious food and friendly service!

After ordering from here for a while now I must say ordered last night waited 2 hours for my delivery the food was cold and some items missing absolutely disgusted with there service blamed the driver for not checking my order at the shop for stuff missing won't be ordering from here again bad manners aswel

Excellent service and goods. Really enjoyed the chicken tikka nanbss lastnight would highly recommended

Best tandoori there is. Food is amazing and cooked perfectly.

Awesome food great service will definitely recommend this place as a place to go to

New years eve so I understand . Ordered for 7.30 delivery arrived 9.40 . Over 2 hours late . Spoke to them 1 hour over delivery time . I was told that they had 250 orders taken , ridiculous. Should not be taking orders if they cannot fulfill delivery time . On arrival the order was wrong ! . Now they are not answering the phone I have used this takeaway for many years but I will not be using them ever again . Very let down by this takeaway . Very poor service . Very let down .

I would have to say that this is the best Indian takeaway around here for miles! It has been around for a very long time, since the 80's and it has always been very good! I hadn't had this for around 7 years maybe more and so thought I'd try it again for a new year's eve treat and we were not disappointed. It may be a little on the pricey side but it's definitely worth it. If you're looking for a nice, local Indian takeaway then look no further, you won't be disappointed! We booked early as we knew they'd be busy on new year's eve, we ordered for it to arrive at 7:15 but it came early at 6:45, I wasn't complaining as I don't like waiting around. Overall, we can't fault it. The food was full of flavour but not too spicy as a lot of Indian dishes can be unbearably spicy for me. Keep up the good work guys, we will be ordering again soon and recommending you to all our friends and family 👌👍

Excellent food and fairly priced

Excellent Indian food. Very fast delivery 🏁

Fabulous food and and excellent service as always. Staff went out of their way to make sure everything was right with our order tonight and even sent a 2nd driver with an extra dish. Very much appreciated.

Got too be the best Indian food in Newcastle

The food is always excellent, the best around as far as I am concerned. The service and quality of the food is always excellent.

Been 3 times for collection on every occasion had to wait over 2 hours an hour of that in the shop food not to bad but not worth the 2 hour wait!

Me and my partner have just had a tandoori nan bab and he got mix balti nan bread and this food was fresh and gorgeous.first time trying here and it most deffo is our new take away.would recomend this place to any one.its a must try 👌👌👌👌

Food is amazing always friendly highly recomended simply the best

Really nice food and friendly staff. Card payments accepted

Been using this Indian take away for 20 years+ it's the best in Newcastle

The best all round service and not to mention the food, the very best around the area.

Twice now, I've ordered what was meant to be a vegetarian meal, only to find chicken in my food (both times I only realised when it was actually in my mouth). We've ordered from Fawdon Tandoori for years, but we just can't trust them anymore. Order at your own risk.

Food got here 90 mins later I understand they are busy this time of year but it was freezing cold when it arrived. Won’t be ordering again

Second curry from here and it was just as fantastic as the first. Superb, restaurant quality Indian food in the comfort of your own home. Can't fault it.

I had despaired of EVER finding a good Indian takeaway in the area - then found this place! Excellent chunks of quality meat in delicious sauces - chicken tikka bun is delicious! It’s quickly become a firm favourite...highly recommended.

Food is excellent however, I will not be using these people again as there is a £13 minimum spend on deliveries which they don't tell you on the leaflets. They deliver to suit themselves and open to suit themselves. I am told to look at it from a business prospective. I have been a loyal customer since 1988 when they first opened. I feel very let down!

Food always lovely but EVERY TIME I pre order something is nearly always missing which spoils the meal.

La familia y yo siempre usamos el fawdon para llevar, siempre consistente, pido un pollo tikka Dhansak, buen plato, agridulce, un poco de calor, perfecto, muy morisco, el arroz pilau, fragante y esponjoso, ahora mi pan naan (peshwari ) Cuando lo ordeno en línea, siempre pido que se queme un poco, me encantan los bordes nítidos y luego el suave relleno dulce que está dentro, perfecto, bien hecho, sigue haciendo un buen trabajo.

Outstanding food! Glad I eventually got round to trying it. I was short changed by 5p at the counter, but I'll let it slide this time. Thoroughly recommend the food.

Absolutely disgusting I saw a rat jumping around the shop and the curry was cold and the chicken was raw and also it was dry and gave me food poisoning and lastly it was stinky and look very disesive and the person who served me was absolutely rude. Never recommending this place.

Totally amazing, best danask takeaway I've had. 10/10 👍everything I ordered tasted great was recommended by a friend and definitely my new favourite curry house.

This place is so good! Curry’s are super tasty, decent portion size, good price and friendly staff. Tippity top.

Bloody beautiful. You definitely get what you pay for. Excellent indians. Keep it up.

Always great food can't beat it
