Nafiza's Indian Restaurant & Takeaway in Gateshead - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We love coming here. They do an amazing vindaloo and the staff are so friendly.

Order took 1 hour 35 mins to arrive, over 35 mins late. Food was unreal as ever

Lovely food, friendly staff, bring your own booze xxx

excellent flavours, naan was fresh and tasty.

Order Imley Karahi Lamb got Mix Mader. Still tasty but my order and receipt was clear.

been getting my curries from Nafizas for a few year now, food is always very tasty, delivered on time and hot, so hesitation in giving them a 5 stars.

From order time to delivery was over 3 hours. Order time was 19:01. Original JustEat expected delivery time was 19:55 to 20:15. Then text message from restaurant to say ETA 8pm. Just before 8pm was revised on JustEat to 20:10 to 20:30. Still hadn't arrived at 20:45 with no further updates. Chased up via JustEat. 15 to 20 mins later new message stating ETA 21:35. This also came and went with no delivery. Phoned restaurant at 21:45. Eventual arrival time was approximately 22:15

food was not ready at collection time, only started cooking it at this time. 25 mins later. food was ok, meat a little tough

lovely food as always. best indians around.

My go-to place for Indian food. I order from here most weeks and the food and service are consistently good. Highly recommended.

Very tasty, did not disappoint with the spice either

Im sorry to say but our takeaway delivery was Very disappointing tonight. Our saag paneer had only 4 small pieces in it - very poor, not enough to fill the sauce around it. All sauce not enough panneer. Only 6 SMALL pieces of chicken in a full tray of my chicken tikka masala sauce, I had to search for them they were that small cubed.

Great food and wonderful service

I had a duck biriyani. It was really nice and the sauce was amazing as well.

Delicious, really admirable of the staff to keep producing delicious food while not eating themselves.

First time ordering n will prob be last time food arrived n lukewarm chips looked and tasted like they been lying for agess worse was our mains we ordered a chicken and a lamb dishes opened them plentry of sauce but was only 6bits of chicken n 6 bits of lamb which 3 were so chewy u couldnt eat nam bread was dry n fell apart also the sauce was over the bags when we got it the rice was very nice side dishes 2 were very salty

Always lovely food, piping hot. Friendly service

Food was absolutely beautiful. Best Indian I've had.

Butter curry delicious and creamy

Had an amazing time here and they had very good food.

11/10, clean plates. Beautiful meal.

Lovely food not rushed to eat your meal realy enjoyed time with family

Lovely food great service went early it wasn't open long so it was cold but they put the heating on 👍

Best madras I have had in years

Food was cold . Lamb rogan was tasteless no flavour at all rice smelt funny !! Nan was ok pompadoms were soft really disappointed

Only had 6 small pieces of meat in the curry.

Food tasted of cheese and ordered 2 set meals between 4 people and everyone complained about the curry tasting like cheese

Food freezing cold and nit what we ordered very disappointed

Lovely food, great portion size, food was piping hot.. delivery driver even came to the door (which is rare when you live in a block of flats, lovely bloke)!!

Such an amazing place! Owner is lovely, food is always fantastic and if you get delivered always piping hot. Never disappoints, highly recommend :)

Excellent food - delivered promptly. Thank you.

Food was lovely, bit on the cold side but so tasty.

wrong order brought- it wasn't tikka...

Excellent food, great service - bring your own bottle(s)

I find the 10% service charge a bit rude. Regardless of how the service is, its on your bill as soon as the table is booked. Tipping should be a choice. Food pretty tasteless and overpriced for what you get, lacking atmosphere.

Fantastic takeaway from lovely friendly staff. Delicious authentic food. Highly recommend.

My favourite takeaway is, Gazi Spice and unfortunately, it has closed down. I rang the Gazi Spice number off Google just to double-check and got through to Nafiza's. I was told that Gazi Spice had merged with Nafiza's They haven't the food was not cooked by the Gazi spice chef it wasn't even the same recipe. The food all looked and tasted the same it was bland and tasteless compared to Gazi Spice. Terrible in fact. I will never eat here again after that. This place is a 1-10 compared to, Gazi Spice I'm gutted Gazi has shut down. If this place has any common sense they will hire the chef from there and give him the head chef position. Looks like I'm trying Spice Connection next week. If I wanted a Nafiza's I would have ordered a Nafiza's but I didn't want one. I stopped using these years ago for this reason. I feel ripped off because I was conned into buying their food and not, Gazi spices food.

Tasty food every time. Nice polite staff. Got a chicken tikka nann wrap and a chicken tikka bhuna as a takeaway 😋 lots of tender chicken pieces in the wrap. The Bhuna is just the right amount of spice for me, very good. Xxx

This is our second takeaway from here after being recommended. Both times have been beautiful, arrived hot and on time. So tasty, good portions too. The gentleman who took our order was very helpful and the delivery driver very pleasant and polite.

Food is gorgeous. Owner is really helpful and fab service recommended lovely dishes

Good food and service take your own drink as no licence

The worst takeaway I have ever had and chicken made me sick. Curry was tasteless, chicken itself tasted off and Nan undercooked. Do not order from here, you will be very disappointed. Customer service was very rude as well, they denied all issues during complaint.

Do not go to this place. Food made us ill. Chicken undercooked. Naan bread was still dough. No refund or alternative offered. Rude customer service. Terrible experience. Couldn’t eat.

Just read Karen White's review and the reply from the restaurant. Keema Nan doesn't contain meat! Maybe a quick look at Oxford English dictionary may help them. Keema, Noun INDIAN, minced meat. Yes Karen what happened to the meat in a keema Nan too many takeaways/ restaurants forget to add the meat. How much does it cost to add the thin layer of minced meat? A local takeaway to me paints the inside if the Nan with tandoori paste!

Soft drinks flat Naan disappointing Sauce excellent Meat tender and plentiful Rice just perfect Music lively but not too loud Price reasonable Would I come back, quite probably A decent 4 out of 5 from me 🙂

Very disappointed… the keema nan came with no meat, 6 small pieces of chicken in the dish (mostly sauce), onion bhaji was hard as a rock but the mushroom pilau was nice. Called the restaurant to provide some feedback and was told the keema nam doesn’t have meat and the ratio of 90% sauce /10% chicken was standard! Sadly I won’t be using again.

The best indians in low fell food always turns up on time and so much flavor always hot and fresh

Best Indian restaurant in Low Fell! Always had to give Indian restaurants a miss because of a Peanut Allergy until I braved it and came here. Everything is made fresh, the food isn't dripping in grease. The staff are very friendly and accommodating too.

One of worst tasting food i have had the misfortune to eat was the chef ill and the waiter done the cooking

Always great food, lovely staff and bring your own wine 🍷

A big thank you to Akla for opening the restaurant early on Sunday lunchtime(1/5) to help our family celebrate the Christening of our grand-daughter baby Hannah. Akla worked with us to ensure the day went as planned and it did..The family really enjoyed the lovely food and great Customer interaction. 👍

Gorgeous food and great service always at Nafiza's family run business. Remember if you want a bit of extra cheer take your own alcohol. But it's the food that'll win you over. Thank you to everyone there for always making us feel special : )

Nice to see Shaka Hislop in for a meal

Worst curry I've ever had. Sauce was tasteless. Chicken was off. Very tight with meat.

Amazing food,fantastic service highly recommend this restaurant

Perfect portion sizes and great spices. Not too expensive either

Excellent takeaway. Really looking forward to restaurant re-opening when lockdown eases. Don't forget to bring your own drinks.

The worst take away I have ever had the food was so bland no taste what so ever in both curries we ordered it was was cold and over priced when I rechecked the prices

Regularly order my favourite meal - IF you like a little bit of spice try the Akla Special with a rice it’s amazing *A great little gem of a restaurant

Food absolutely disgraceful 35 mins over due the food looks like take away on a late night ! Onions are bigger then the chicken I enjoy nice food but this is shocking my starter that is something else

Just had meal delivered, first class

Amazing food as ever and the staff are so helpful and service is excellent.

Lovely restaurant with geneous portions, great food & staff. (Remember to take your own alcohol as only soft drinks are served).

Best Indian food I've had for a long time. Tried 3 takeaways now and all fabulous. The other diners all agree too.

Really friendly..good food would recommend this restaurant to anyone

Thanks for an excellent takeaway meal on Saturday evening. 10/10.

Wow we have just had the best food thankyou 👍

Thank you very much for the lovely food donated to Eighton Lodge care home lowfell Night shift girls, very much appreciated 👏👍❤

Firstly, I understand all takeaways are extremely busy at the moment but I don’t understand why you offer something you can’t provide. Food ordered at 6pm, due 8:05pm, arrived 9:10pm - stone cold. Popadoms missing, chutney missing, salad missing. Chicken tikka was just chargrilled chicken (obviously ran out but thought they’d wing it). I rang to complain and was promised a call back yesterday... still waiting. Avoid! So many other nicer options around.

the worst food ever this was the wrap I odered.even bought a biriyani which was horrible.total waste of money

Went here last night, food was great, really nice atmosphere and staff very friendly, would def go back. lots of take away going out too, take your own booze

Another great meal and excellent Customer service!

First takeaway from there. Food was great. It won't be the last and must try the restaurant.

Tasty meals, take your own wine not served at the restaurant.

I have had many Indian meals but I would be hard pressed to find a better meal than at Nafiza. The food is delicious

Good food, bring your own wine, good sevice

Very good indian food. I've ordered twice from there now and am very impressed

Absolutely delicious food & wonderful service. Ate from the specials menu, so excellent value too. Highly recommend a visit

Absolutely wonderful! Gorgeous food, could not have been happier. Reasonable prices, good portions.

Been here a few times and always enjoyed fabulous food and great customer service

Great food and some excellent restaurant specialities. Added bonus of taking own drink so you know you get a good choice and the bill isnt a horror show.

We ordered a collection and unfortunately the food wasn't great. This is a shame because the last time we went in in person, it was good.

Friendly service and beautiful meal

Food was great and at a reasonable price. Was 18 at the table and served in a timely manner. Would recommend again

Our favourite Indian restaurant in Low Fell Great food and lovely staff. Great Thursday and Sunday deals too!

Prices are bit more than advertised for take out on website but food was nice. Onion Baji starter was a bit tough though.

Had to take own alcohol but that kept the price down. The food was outstanding.

Lovely restaurant nice staff and food

Really good quality food and friendly atmosphere, staff attentive but not intrusive

First time at nafiza's and will certainly go back. Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Bring your own drink is good too.

First class service along with top class food

Amazing food and service. Love coming here for sit in meal or takeaway. Not one complaint in 3 years xx

Good food friendly staff fantastic value for money what more could u want

Always a good night, with good food. With the bonus of bringing your own booze. Sit in or take away, the food is top quality.

Awful had better iceland currys paid 20 pound for tasteless frozen curry deserves no stars 1st and last time will go there the pakora was like a one you get off the shelf vile

Had a special Thursday night meal deal. Cant complain at the standard of food which was excellent. However was let down as poppadom's had already gone soft by time I got home ( only live 5 minutes away) and omission of salad and onion salad. Just a blip I hope but not putting me off returning

Best curry on the Fell,service impeccable

9 of us went for a birthday on a Thursday evening wich has the special on in the restaurant. Food and service was very good, i cant understand why more people do not go, as by taking your own drinks it saves a fourtune. We will most definitely be returning

Excellent customer service. Great knowledge of food contents and all dishes cooked from scratch. Brilliant takeaway for vegans and vegetarians as well as meat eaters

Food was great and staff were very welcoming. A very "homey" atmosphere inside.
