Mumbai Silk in Sunderland

exceptional indian food in very nice surroundings with staff providing a service second to none ! free parking, well worth a visit !

One of the best Indian restaurants in Sunderland

Went there for the first time during Sunderland Restaurant Week, food was very well presented (sorry no pictures as my phone died,my bad)and full of flavour, also good sized portions . Couldn't finish all of the meal, asked staff if it was possible to take what was left home, they wrapped it all up,and kept different foods apart ,as In rice in one carton,curry in another,chips etc etc, which was a nice touch ,certainly be back again. Super friendly staff who made you feel welcome and comfortable at the same time,and not constantly asking "is everything ok" like some do

Food was really nice but service was very poor indeed no check backs and super slow

What a place this is staff service and food and cocktails unreal 👌

Fantastic restaurant, beautiful food and great service

Worst experience i ever had been there with my gal friend with her kids and asked for mains and she asked for starters and main portion for little two kids and a waiter was taking out order while a manager was passing around heard it and come to us and said it in a very rude tone you cant order starters as a main course to my friend she had her kids around her so she said i am not hungry i am just accompanying my friend n kids here he said that doesnt matter we r loosing out business here by giving u a table people come out to eat food if u were not hungry whats the point of coming out u have to order starters and main she said she not hungry but kids n me having a mains he was fuming such a mannerless man he was ,definitely not going back so she ordered main and didnt even eat it such a waste of food just to accompany me and her kids while she was ordering a starters as a main he forced her to that in such a annoying way as front of her kids definitely not going back ever again we didnt say much to him because we had our kids there.. this man needs to learn a etiquette how to work in hospitality busines

Absolutely lush night at Mumbai silk as always! Drinks and food were incredible and staff were amazing as usual. Couldn’t recommend it enough, my weekly ritual

We have visited here a few times now, both as a couple, and also as part of a larger family group. Regardless of how many people are in your party, the service remains fast and courteous. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the food is beautiful and rhe cocktails are very tasty too! Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in Sunderland, and out new "go to" Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue in my opinion. My wife have been eating at Mumbai silk since it first opened 6 years ago,and we can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. From the moment you enter the establishment the staff are brilliant,and bend over backwards for your needs.The decor and design is marvellous with top notch fittings . The food is of the best quality and never fails to disappoint,with many traditional and modern dishes.Can’t wait to visit again,but very soon.

This has got to be the best Indian restaurant outside of London We had starters of lamb loin chops and chicken tandoori all melt in your mouth with delicious flavours Main courses of magnificent king prawns lamb and salmon all cooked to perfection with wonderful sauces and an assortment of rice and nan breads. Absolutely fantastic To have a restaurant of this quality in Sunderland is a great privilege

We come to this restaurant quite often, the service is second to none,very friendly from opening the door.

Great place to eat. Food always good and service brilliant. We were a table of 7 all food top notch. I got advised by a worker to get prawn pathia instead of my usual madras…was proper nice. Really sound staff work there

Absolutely amazing food , great atmosphere, excellent service , highly recommend

First visit here and wasn't disapointed. Spacious, clean and excellent service. The menu offered lots of choice and the food exquisite. I'll be back.

This place takes some beating. Hands down

One of the best Indian restaurants in sunderland,well worth a visit. It's also reasonably priced

Bustling restaurant with tasty food. Full on "saturday night out" music and clientelle; don't come here for a quiet Sat night dinner. Apparently the cocktails are really nice, but we didn't try any today. Can recommend the chana, okra and cashew nut rice. £20 will get you a filling meal. Mobility friendly entrance, helpful and friendly staff, clean toilets.

First time at Mumbai Silk last Saturday; we were a party of 12 and could not fault the service and food at all! The staff work so hard but looks effortless in how they accommodate the customers. Will definitely be back soon - thanks for a fantastic night!

First visit here, and if it was closer to home, I'd most definitely be back. Up further north for a few days, and this spot is just around the corner from where we're staying. It was recommended to us by a friend, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The place is lovely inside - a lot of money has obviously been spent on doing it up; the decor is modern with an old twist. There's plenty of tables and lots of space. The menu is vast, or so I thought, with lots to choose from. We didn't have a starter, just the obligatory poppadoms and pickle tray. These came beautifully presented, and the onion mix - wow, I could have eaten the whole dish it was really, really tasty. For my main, I asked for a dry dish (no oil or ghee due to being on a "diet" again). They suggested a chicken tikka dish. I ordered boiled rice as an accompaniment. When it arrived, it was sizzling away! Rice is rice, but it was also served with a lovely fresh side salad, too, and a pot of mint yoghurt. ALL was absolutely delicious, and if I hadn't gotten so full, I'd have had an empty plate. A lovely visit to a lovely restaurant. Thank you, and hopefully, I may see you all again!

Brilliantl food from an absolutely amazing restaurant, the staff at this place are fantastic,I won’t order from anywhere else again, massive 👍👍👍

Always good service and amazing food

Well-designed and cleaned. The biriyani and chicken balti were tremendous as they used fresh ingredients. Well-trained staff with proper management, highly recommended. ✌️

My recent visit to Mumbai Silk was an absolute delight, particularly for my taste buds! The chicken dishes I indulged in were nothing short of exceptional. Each bite boasted incredibly soft and flavorful chicken, cooked to perfection. It was clear that the chef takes great care in selecting and preparing their ingredients, resulting in a truly mouthwatering experience.

The best given everytime food is briliant and well worth the money

The service from this place was top-notch. The staff are very attentive and so friendly and the food, the food is beautiful. It was very well presented and so tasty. Great experience all round. To say 6 of us were dining, there were no long waits for food, and everyone rated it highly. The only issue is parking. There is very limited parking without a couple minute walk (if outside is full). However, that is not the fault of the restaurant.

Just had a fabulous meal with my wife and boy at the Mumbai silk. Simply amazing. Had the lamb delight Apna style. Chicken Khalid special with garlic naans and onion fried rice.

The meal was really nice, taste wise was really nice, only one little problem was the king prawns was over cooked. Other than that I will defo order again x

Excellent food - cannot fault them, have dined there quite often, but first time used collection, no problems.

Really good place food was great

The chips weren't the usual chips, skinny and pale instead of thick cut and crispy. That was a bit disappointing, but aside from that, it was delicious as usual.

The food is so good here, and the service is fantastic.

Never fails to hit the spot. Lovely food in very nice surroundings

Always nice from here can't fault them.

Excellent service, food and value for money

Mixed kebab tandoori cuisine was soggy because it was delivered in a bag but apart from that nice.

Popadoms missing cost £4, Delivery driver suggested ring restaurant but wouldn't be able to deliver them until he had dropped 3 deliveries he had in car. Starters werent great, 1 decent king prawn in each starter and 1 poor one, pancake was so tough we couldn.t even cut it. Wont be ordering again. Prices gone up significantly but food is less and not good quality.

Food was outstanding and delivery was bang on. Can’t recommend enough.

Busy-ish for Thirty Thursday ...lovely contemporary decor...specials menu well worth the money good food.

It was lovely, staff were attentive

Food was amazing n nice service

Can’t fault quality. But length of time I could have gone elsewhere. Took 2 hours from ordering

Spot on yet again. Nice quality food delivered on time with a friendly driver. Just can't fault them.

Firstly I loved this place and I am gutted to leave this review… but no food, no apology, no refund…. 2.5 hours since I placed the order… 2 x phone calls, assured that it was on its way … still waiting … Ordered 6.30pm expected a wait as bank holiday… it’s now 9pm …. Such a shame as I say the food in this place is normally unreal

No problems with the order, everything was great and the service was top notch! Collection time was perfect and the food was piping hot. Highly rated. Thanks so much!

Lovely place food to go back for, not much conversation with staff as it was very busy, but would definitely go back, prices not bad either 🍽️🏺👍

Been here twice now and the second time we opted for the special. I had the Tikka paneer starter and OMG it was possibly the nicest starter I've had from an Indian restaurant ever. I had the Karai for main and that was also very delicious. My husband ordered a mocktail Pina colada and is now addicted to them 🤣 absolutely beautiful. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to return with friends.

Food arrived hot, but the dopiza was too salty, and so was the meat samosa

Food outstanding as always, great service thank you

Food was amazing as always with the service to match! Thank you guys 👍

Best Indian restaurant in Sunderland by far!

It was beautiful best one going

Absolutely tremendous, never a bad meal!

Tremendous, favourite Indian in area

Had a take away for the first time from here honestly couldn’t fault any of it. It was absolutely beautiful lamb was so tender would definitely recommend and will definitely be ordering again so thank you

Always delivered piping hot and on time, food delicious would recommend

Absolutely amazing food, will definitely be ordering again 5 stars all round

We go to the restaurant a lot and just fancied a cheeky take away. Outstanding food as always

Been here twice this week for takeaway. The staff are so helpful and lovely. Great atmosphere. We had an accident on leaving and dropped our take away. They replaced it no questions asked free of charge. How good is that . Eat n here tohere now and again the food is amazing never had a bad meal. Thank u Mumbai silk. 💓

Purée was solid thrown away but the food was absolutely banging Alhamdulillah

Lush as ever but annoying you can only get a peshawari naan through the meal deal

Delicious. The best curry in town!

The app says ‘enjoy your food’ yet we’re still waiting for it Food arrived late, understandably as it champions final night, But absolutely excellent food as always

We often eat in the restaurant and it’s always faultless. There’s no way this takeaway is from in-house. The Balti was really tasty but not at all spicy and the tikka paneer masala was pretty bad. The whole thing looked anaemic. Beige sauce and absolutely no tikka marinade on the paneer - I’ve never seen a masala like it. In fact I don’t think the cheese had been anywhere near a grill. Thinking about it now I wish I’d taken a picture and complained because I pretty much got a base beige sauce and some lumps of uncooked cheese.

Food was very over salted to mask the fact it had no other flavours to it. It’s usually nice when I sit inside but I ordered out and found less effort put in the food.

I ordered chicken pathia don’t ask me what it was that we got, all I can say it was edible . Must be the worst Indian I’ve had won’t be ordering from there again.

Very pleased with the warm welcome and service,also food was lush

How good this place is. Been to the restaurant a few times and just had a delivery and the food was lovely, hot and delivered on time by a friendly delivery driver. Will definitely be ordering again.

Lovely food, amongst the order …. We ordered main potatoes but only received starter portion, no biggy, didn’t complain as was quite late by the time we got round to eating. Would definitely recommend 👍

First time ordering its was very nice Will definitely order again Delicious 😋

Absolutely gorgeous food 😍 always c everytime

Visited for the 1st time a few weeks ago with my work colleagues. Cannot fault the food. It was gorgeous. Atmosphere was lovely in the restaurant. Got the special deal so worth the money. My curry was served last by which time my rice was cold which I asked to be warmed up but I think this was because we were a large group of over 20. Would visit again as food was very tasty...

Gorgeous food but popadoms missing again!

Ordered from here many times and food is ok. But our most recent order was nothing short of awful. We ordered chilli masala it had no taste whatsoever and it was cold. Won’t be ordering again

Great service as ever. Food was delicious. Highly recommend

Have ordered for many years from here, but tonight took over 3 hours to arrive. No apologie from delivery driver and food not up to usual high standards.

Great quality and service. Will definitely return!

We requested 2 poppadoms with our order however these didn't arrive. Not a big one, however we've had things missing from orders previously. Delivery came within expected time and plenty warm still.

Very nice food and a nice big separate room all to ourself.

They say you can have too much of a good thing, but after years of visiting this place i’m yet to find that to be true. I often eat out, and after visiting various similar places, in Brick Lane (London) and Ocean Road (South Shields) to name a few, I just cannot match the quality and service of Mumbai Silk. Total credit to everyone who works there, this place is fantastic and definitely worth travelling any distance for. I can’t reccomend enough.

Only ordered from here a few times, last month was the first time I tried it. But I must say the food is absolutely beautiful. Best Indian food I’ve ever had. Delivery is always amazing and friendly driver. Food is always hot and beautiful. Well worth the money!! I will not be going to a different takeaway restaurant again

Best Indian restaurant in Sunderland. I'd go as far too say it's the best in the northeast

Very disappointed the Khalid special was poor not spicy as requested and very small portion. Not worth the money.

Absolutely divine love the food the atmosphere and the layout very popular and still the same over the years from opening give a fab service

Delicious food and staff very attentive. Lovely modern restaurant. Well worth a visit .Fab cocktails

Authentic and charming. Loved the food, helpful staff, would go again

Great atmosphere. Popped in for a beer. Cobra excellent as is the décor and service.

Food was delicious. Set menu between 2 people and it was the perfect amount! Ordered through the website and collected for a set time, food was still a goods temperature when we got home. Amazing.

Food was delivered quickly,was ok but I got the wrong dish,I had already started eating it before I realised,it was something I hadn't ordered before,was only when I checked menu that I knew they had sent wrong dish,I wasn't keen because of lots and lots of brown onions and green peppers,never mind

The food was rubbish dry tasteless no sauce old chips had to throw it all in the bin ... very unhappy ..

Waited over two hours for a delivery, shocking! This has happened twice from these guys now. Food is always good, such a shame they can’t get it out to you in a reasonable time!

This is an excellent place. Nice surroundings, great food and great staff

Friendly staff, bright and clean modern decor. I had poppadoms, onion bhajis and a Lamb Balti. I can confidently say that all of it was the tastiest Indian food I've ever had.

Best Indian food in Sunderland easily.

Excellent food, excellent service!

Food and service was excellent. We’ve eaten before however never had a takeaway and the quality was no different. Thank you.

Fantastic food! We paid a visit here last night for our friends 60th birthday and what a real treat. Because there were around 70 of us there we all had a set meal so not sure of the actual names but one was chicken one was king prawn and the other was lamb and they were beautiful!! The staff were extremely friendly helpful and quick as well lead by khalid and his team, all young and very efficient indeed. The girls were on champagne and us boys had the Cobra which were great pints. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Great food. Prompt. Friendly staff. We’ll definitely be back for more.

excellent food, worth waiting for

Missing item after the waiting. Had to wait more until they delivered it!! Disappointed
