Manzil Tandoori in Northumberland

Great food amazing prices would definitely recommend

Absolutely brilliant food was top class highly recommended 👌still top class 👏

Friendly staff and good with gluten free order. Been a customer here for 30 years and always been greeted like a friend and served well. Good curry house and takeaway.

Visiting from America: If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisines Manzil is the spot. The food is delicious and flavorful. The wait time is very short. The scenery is excellent and gives you a pleasant feeling of the South East Asian culture. The staff and services are top tier. If you’re near the area of Newcastle I definitely recommend stopping by this place.

My family loves this restaurant, especially my 9yr old son who always asks to come here when he gets a reward. The staff are fantastic, the food comes out at a fast pace but always cooked to perfection even when we ask for things to be hotter than what is on the menu. When we want to eat out, Manzils is always one of our main places to go.

The service was excellent. The food was a little bland, which was disappointing. No traditional Indian music playing to add to the experience either. It is possible that it improves as the night goes on, but we're unlikely to return to find out.

Fined on a special menu night. Food was nice but service was not as nice. Some of our party were 2 minutes late and waiter was asking where they were as they had our table booked out after us which gave us 1 hour exactly to dine. Hot plates were dirty too we noticed. Put us right off. Won’t be back

excellent food and service staff are very friendly

We went into restaurant late Saturday night The food was Awful The service was Rushed The curry sauces where like Spaghetti sauce Will never go again.

Food standards have dropped. The flavour isn't the same or the portion sizes. To ask about the food and the quality to be told its all to do with the quality of spices, not the customers problem. It is still a good establishment, but the quality and quantity have dropped. Hopefully, it can get back to what it was like years ago..... I wait to find out.

Good food, attentive service and friendly atmosphere.

I'm coeliac ,so lack of choice in the menu.My onion bhaji was tasteless,they couldn't make raita properly,over westernised,green peppers in most of the curries for cheap bulk. Not a good experience,shan't be going back

Superb food, great service. Chicken Madrass and Pathia is the best 👌

Absolutely delicious! I have been eating here for years. The food has always been fantastic and the service is excellent.

Not the usual fabulous quality of Indian food you find in the North!

Absolutely amazing food, service, venue and in a very picturesque spot in Morpeth ..easy parking.. which is always good!

Went for lunch. 3 courses for £9.95. Excellent service and value. It’s a smaller menu than evening but something for everyone. Main course with rice are a smaller portion but perfectly adequate for a normal person at lunch time

When for a collection takeaway tonight staff where very busy with new year day evening meals but they give everyone the time of day the staff have always been amazing however tonight food wasn't the best I bought a chicken korma with side their was hardly any chicken in the korma their was only about 4 pieces of chicken and the onion bhijijs where very oily and the meal was cold by the time we came to eating it yes I understand it was a collection but it to be as cold as it was by the time i came to eat it is was disgusting normal when I by a takeaway like this is at least warm

Reheated food despite asking for time between our starter and main course, served with little or no enthusiasm by the waiter Very disappointed

This is a lovely venue great location nice staff. However the food is ok but lacks the feeling of being freshly prepared.

Went at lunchtime, Cracking food at great price. Well worth a try if you haven't already.

We had a lovely Lunch, the food was great and the service was brilliant.

Sunday night curry. Quite quiet. Food was good and so were the staff.

Lovely food and attentive service - all at a great price. Try the lunchtime special. The menu has most of the usual choices. Today's was beautifully cooked. 3 courses for £9. Beat that! UPDATE. Visited again November 2023. Slight price increase. Still great value. Still great food.

Had a great vegetable Thali, very tasty.

Delicious food. Friendly, efficient service

Had a good meal. Nice bustling atmosphere.

Lovely meal at a very reasonable price!

Amazing food, friendly staff and great prices..❤️..can't wait to go back, I had chicken tikka and will have that again??

Food was great! Service very friendly.

I was visiting Morpeth for the first time and went here with my partners family. I was very impressed with the service and the quality of the food. There were plenty of vegetarian options. Very good surroundings with plenty of atmosphere. I would recommend for sure.

Situated just off the main street, on Old Gate in front of the imposing clock tower, the nondescript entrance hides something truly special. On entering, I was greeted immediately and seated at a table. The style and surroundings are intimate, with around 15 tables, but in no way does it feel cramped! It has smart/casual vibe, something that takes me back to my childhood. The sound of instrumental jazz at just the right volume meant the restaurant had a charming atmosphere. The like the pickle chutney, if I'm being honest I could have eaten that ALL night! The onion bhaji were quick excellent, crispy and not too heavy but very flavoursome. The Jelfrazi, the chef's special was equally sublime, though a bit more source would not have gone amiss, still, it was not too spicy, and the veg was cooked to perfection! It's at this point I would like to say, the staff were very attentive, never letting the table fill up with empty plates. Despite the full meal, I gave into temptation and endured in a cookies&cream ice cream... I would recommend this tasty little sweeter anytime. Here's to another 40 years, A true hidden gem.

Took my son out for a birthday meal and what a disappointment.Chicken korma looked insipid and prawn dish not very good.Rice luke warm and mushy.Only good thing was the wine but it was very expensive. My diet coke was flat.Will not be back

The service in the restaurant is excellent. Kind, informative and very attentive. I was disappointed with my Dhansak. Neither sweet or sour. The rest of the food was delicious. The view is lovely. I would go back. I would have the achari next time.

Sooo delicious 🤤 it was really nice spicy food 👌🏻 very good stuff /friendly/ offer nice service make you feel comfortable and make sure if the food was nice or they can change for you but no need for change it was amazing food and service.

Great food. Friendly staff and reasonable prices

Always a lovely curry and staff are super.

Didnt make a reservation, but they made up a table for us. It was very busy which is always a good sign. It didnt disappoint either. Great service, beautifully cooked food. Portions on the large side. 1 order of rice is enough for two people. Starters were big too. Would definitely recommend having a meal here

Excellent meal good service good value

This restaurant was lovely nice atmosphere and food was excellent would highly recommend the prices are very reasonable

Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Excellent service. Thank you.

I have to admit this is my favourite Indian restaurant of all time. I don't live in the town anymore but whenever I visit Morpeth I always have a meal here. Obviously, it helps if you are recognised when you pop in but the staff have changed over the years and yet there is always a continuity of friendliness and excellent food. All their dishes I have tried are really tasty and in my experience they serve the best Tarka Dahl I have had anywhere. Christmas 2022, everything was as good as it has always been.

A good old fashioned curry house

Have given this place the benefit of the doubt on numerous occasions now, hoping the quality of the food would improve. Sadly this has not been the case. The level of cooking is pure guesswork and amateur. There is no play on taste with herbs and spices. The meals are either completely bland, or too hot with no taste. Have been eating Indian cuisine for over 40 years, and cooking Indian meals for over 20 years. Come on Manzil, sort your chef out.

Went here on Saturday. Friendly, efficient staff and absolutely tremendous food! Lovely location in Morpeth, great views over the town from their window seats and extensive menu. Food was fabulous in both quantity and quality. And not overly expensive which is a bonus! Wholehearted recommended.

Best in Morpeth. Tried others, always come back to Manzil. Staff are excellent too.

We’d not been to Manzil for a while until last night and I’m not sure we’ll go back. The “pickle tray” was served in plastic pots (??!!), the chicken in both our mains was tough and chewy, my curry was very hot as advertised but other than that it was flavourless, and the restaurant lacked atmosphere.

Visited Manzil last night with 10 friends for my 60th birthday meal. Service was excellent and the food absolutely fantastic. Great night.

5 stars just for the naan.... damn

Could be so much better. They forgot to get our drinks, TWICE. The pickle, chutney etc that came with the poppadoms were in takeaway plastic tubs and just plonked on a plate! No nice pickle tray here.....They gave us our dessert menu and after dinner mints BEFORE our mains. It's a shame as the food was actually quite nice. Please sort yourselves out on the service front and we'll come back.

Pickles arrived on table in plastic tubs with lids on ! We did not ask for a take away - chicken dhansak was tasteless and tough no pineapple in it -.would not rush back !

Lovely food and friendly service

Being a restaurant, there's a bigger selection of different dishes, makes a nice change from standard takeaways. Staff always welcoming and helpful, food very tasty. Restaurant is normally quite busy most nights, delivery not available but collection always available and on time.

Absolutely outstanding takeaway tonight! Super busy in the restaurant, the quality of the food never waivers! Been using over 20 years and never disappoints.

Once again excellent meal and hospitality thank you

Fantastic curry on our last evening of our holiday was recommended by most people in the pub would have had 5stars if draught lager wasn’t flat and aired curry amazing

Great place, friendly staff and food is amazing

Fabulous food wonderful service again. Look forward to eating here, it always is the best. For a family get together or just for a great meal.

My partner and I have thoroughly enjoyed our meal here this evening. Staff were very nice, swift in taking our order and the food was just lovely, good spice and flavour. We always try a local curry house when we travel, and this one rates highly for us, many thanks!

Fantastic Indian! Shame we weren't local, it was wonderful. The staff were so incredibly friendly and amazing to the children in the restaurant. They clearly would tailor any dish to how you like it.

Fantastic food and excellent service.

Bargain prices for great food. Thank you.

It's was my first time dinning with Manzil tandoori the staff was fantastic helping out with dietary needs and nut allergies they cooked the food we required with coconut milk. It tasted fantastic. The staff was friendly.

Lovely food, had the lunch time special great value for money.....Will be back

asked about gluten free options when we sat down and the first waiter looked blankly back at us. he didn’t have a clue what we were talking about. then went to get another member of staff and after saying gluten free and coeliac a couple...

Very friendly staff, the meal was absolutely lovely

Fabulous lunch at Manzil today, food was wonderful and plenty to take home, very good wine reasonably priced. Staff absolutely lovely, friendly but professional. Our first meal out together in 2 years, superb. Thank you all so much.

Pretty tasty food and very organized, as soon as the last bit of food is in your mouth, the bill is on the table. I hate going to places where you need to send up a flare to get some attention just to request the bill.

Absolutely beautiful, never been before but I would recommend it to everyone x

Went here with a group of friends, I ordered chicken madras. The chicken was very dry and as a madras goes was not that spicy. My friend had the chicken dansak and said it had no taste.

Not the best curry I have. Service was rushed and not impressed with pickle tray coming in plastic cartons. Wont be returning anytime soon

Very nice food at a good price. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Best indian food that i have ever eaten.

The place is great. Meet with two young waiters they are really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. The service we recived by these young lads was so...

Excellent in every way. Great food and drink at very reasonable prices. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

one of the worse tandoori cocktail I have ever had.Completely flavourless no taste at all I think it was precooked and cold Not ordering again!

It was a family get together. I think the guy was manager wearing glasses when we entered into the restaurant he didn't welcome us and ignore us. He was sit-in in the lounge and watching phone which is completely disrespectful. We asked for popadams to...

Gorgeous food, friendly staff and not expensive

Amazing food, great value, lovely restaurant and staff! Will definitely be back to try some other dishes!

Excellent ! Highly recommended.

The best of the best can't say anything else

Really nice place to eat.. a little cramped inside. Ask for the table with a view of the square... good food. Portions just enough, but good service, good food and a fair price..if you like your food hot and spicy let them know, some dishes...

Lovely service and the takeaway food was excellent

My meal was adequate my partners was not, but when we complained, they did not charge for his

We’ve been looking at the menu all week outside whilst on holiday and on our last night finally went in. I’m really fussy! The food was fantastic! Absolutely delicious. We ate all of it! The service was great. Our table was spacious and comfortable. Spotlessly...

Visited 17th July 21 . Really enjoyed the whole experience, great seat with a view of the lovely clock tower. Onion bhaji's were perfect with plenty of sauce which was lovely. I had lamb tikka butter and the lamb was lovely and tender. Probably the best Indian I have ever had. My husband really enjoyed his too. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Nice looking restaurant pity the food did not live up the the decor

Bland very gritty rise only 5 pieces of chicken in my main meal very poor but did take off the cost of the meal from the bill

Always fab. Have been using this restaurant since the early 80's and never had a bad meal.

Great value for money lunch special. My husband chose well with his chicken tikka starter and chicken pathia main course. Not having been there before, I wasn’t aware of their level of heat/spice or I would have asked them for a hotter chicken bhuna. My...

Dine in dinner with family. The service in Manzil is fantastic. The staff are all very polite and professional. They seemed at ease whether it was adults or children who were speaking to them and all eager to advise on dish choices, particularly for the...

Fantastic food, fantastic freindly staff,

My Husband and I had a Takeaway meal on Saturday evening 6th March. The onion bhajis were very dry and I suspect that they had been kept hot for along time which had caused this dryness. I had prawn Passanda, it was advertised as King...

My Husband and I had a Takeaway meal last Saturday and were very disappointed. The onion bhajis were very dry as if they had been reheated several times. I had King Prawn Passanda. They were the smallest prawns I have ever seen and certainly not King Prawns, so breaking all trade description laws. Sauce which was described as containing mango and nuts was tasteless and doubt it had any mango in it. My Husband's Chicken Jalfrezi was slightly better although again rather bland. Will not be returning for further Takeaways.

Of all the Indian restaurants in the area, Manzil is by far the best. Got a takeaway on NYE that was ready promptly for collection and food was as good as eating in the restaurant.

Ordered a takeaway on a Saturday night, food was delivered within the given time slot by a very friendly young lady. Food was hot and delicious. Free poppadoms were added to our order too!

Lush food. Prompt friendly service.

Brief lunch visit. Great food, staff and price!

Really good meal, relaxing surroundings. Came away feeling well looked after and safe.
