Nisha's Tandoori in Gateshead

Had a takeaway and the food was absolutely excellent! Can confidently say we've found a new go-to for any occasion.

Really tasty good quality food. Been on time for both delivery and collection. Don’t scrimp on vegetables in vegetarian options. The paneer side was delicious. Highly recommended.

I often get takeaways here. Fantastic food and the spicy dishes are properly hot! Great service too, but prices have increased a lot and it's becoming hard to justify. Especially with the high delivery cost. Also, why no vegetable pakora on the menu?

Nisha’s is my go to for an Indian takeaway. I can only give 3 stars not because of the food itself but the portion size. Food was lovely as usual but when you pay £6.75 for the tandoori prawn starter and £6.25 for the king prawn butterfly and you receive 2 and 3 prawns per dish is pure stingy (onions/peppers taken out of the tandoori prawn starter to show the amount of actual meat as the carton was filled with these). Either give a more generous portion or lower the price. Shocking!

Greatest desi food in newcastle

The best garlic chips ever, I was on the phone to faheem his service was second to none

Nishas is the place to be! I used to go somewhere else in Denton burn but thought I’d give this place a go 7 months ago and now me and my girlfriend can’t stop eating it, it’s a tradition every Thursday night to get the jal massala and garlic chips, banging they are. 110% recommend you won’t be disappointed👌🏼

Absolutely amazing 10/10. Would recommend the Dansak.

My favourite takeaway in the North East. Food is always full of flavour and menu is varied. Delivery is quick and always arrives hot. Would recommend the jalmasala as well as the garlic chips and naan breads!

Just had the best Indian takeaway—perfectly spiced, with incredible flavors. Honestly, looking forward to place my next order

Persistently Great, I don't order from anywhere else. It's always really quick if you're getting takeaway. Wonderful colour. Brilliant.

Nice tasting food, all piping hot. Ordered in the shop and only took about 10-15 minutes. The lad serving was really nice and advised my partner what to get as he didn't like onions

Really really good foor, we didn't realise how far we were from the restaurant until after we ordered. The delivery came within a reasonable time frame and the food was delicious. We'll be back for sure

Pricey, Bhuna prawn puri was fairly bland and cold. The main course of lamp pathia was absoutlely ridiculous spice wise and almost inedible, it was Phall hot and way hotter than any Pathia I have ever had before. Spoilt the whole meal and for the money we paid spoilt the meal.... might as well have thrown the cash down the drain. Even a seasoned curry fan would ahve struggled with the spice levels in their Pathia. maybe it was a slip up by the chef or a one off as previpsuly the same dish has been very good indeed.

Full order was Incredible and delivered within 30 minutes to newcastle, from the curry to the samosas and onion bhajis, nan breads, everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Best Indian takeaway I've had to date. Amazing service from the delivery man as well as he was incredibly polite and positive, Definitely will be ordering again!

I have in the past used Nisha a lot and the food is excellent. However, I recently started ordering a meal for delivery. 2 mains, 2 rice and a nan bread. Total including delivery £33. Come on give your heads a shake. I can eat out for just a bit more than that

Incredible tikka masala, biryani and everything else Food always arrives very fast and hot

Fantastic food, our go to place for a takeaway quality and taste is amazing, delivery always on time and really pleasant drivers.

Food has always been lovely until seen kitchen 🤮 and if you drive for them make sure you keep yr tips separate and say you disnt get any tips caz they will take them off you. Greedy people never order from here again and always did wat a shame.

Absolutely beautiful food once again delivery fantastic and friendly.

From start to finish the food & service 10/10 honestly I keep going back for more as its the best takeaway I’ve had.

Ordered from Deliveroo. Either delivered to wrong person, or directly scammed me - food not delivered and stone-walled me when asking for clarification on the order. Do not order from this dodgy establishment if you actually want food delivered. Poor show.

Ordered through the website. It had selected times and we chose 7:05 (40 min wait), the email came through and said 7:25 which was annoying but we knew it may be busy. When it eventually turned up half the order was missing so we rang and were told they would contact the driver to bring it back and let us know. Hearing nothing until after 8 we rang again and were told that they had given our order to the wrong person and they would send the missing half again. By this time our ‘takeaway night’ had turned into one half being eaten before the other half turned up. Really disappointed considering the cost for delivery and the extra hour wait. The person on the phone dealing with the issues said next time we order to let them know and they would sort something out. Having called this week to get the same order, they have offered a grand total of £3 off the full order. Bearing in mind the same discount is available on their website for anyone to use. I had thought they may replace the half that was missed that took near enough 2 hours to arrive from ordering, as we were happy to pay for the half that was received albeit late. Wish we had just asked for our money back on the night and not had the food now. Won't be back following no resolution today.

We ordered a takeaway on the website. It had selected times and we chose 7:05 (40 min wait), the email came through and said 7:25 which was annoying but we knew it may be busy. When it eventually turned up at 7:45 half the order was missing so we rang, we were told they would contact the driver and let us know. Hearing nothing until 8 we rang and were told they gave our order to the wrong person and another was on the way. By this time our ‘takeaway night’ has turned into mine being eaten and my partners has just turned up. Really disappointed considering the cost for delivery and the extra hour wait, I know that the person on the phone said next time we order to let them know. We just called to see if we could get another delivery, a week later, and they’ve only offered 10% off which is the same discount you get on their website for everyone. Seems like they don’t care for customer service at all.

All round excellent service with excellent food,never had any problems

Always,very friendly and polite service,from our deliveries.

Best Indian takeaway by a mile. The building needs updated as looks a bit of a mess from outside but the food is fantastic

Love the food and friendly staff

Always had amazing food from nishas but recently it's no longer worth the price , £29 for a lamb (mutton) curry rice and poppadoms when u get 5 peices of lamb!!! It's just not on I get the cost of living but others in the area offer significantly more for less ! The flavour is beautiful 😍 but the meat amount just leaves u still hungry this is the second time we have had significantly less meat and thinking chicken is a cheaper meat ull get more , nope ! It's such a shame coz I loved this place but I'll not be back 5 bits of meat swimming in sauce is not good enough quality of meat and taste of food is fab just not enough

It's a takeaway only now so can't rate atmosphere,been going here for approx 15 years maybe more and always fresh,hot,food and quick delivery.wouldnt go anywhere else

Fairly new to the area, so trying different takeaways and this was by far the best 👌 top quality food and delivered on time

Had a lovley meal from here first time trying chef was so helpful and will definitely use this indians again everything was fresh and tasty just 1 small thing the homemade samosa rammed full with meat could do with some chilli or spice inside but overall delicious.

Chef never fails to impress. Food was spot on as usual. Honestly this is probably my ‘go to’ takeaway. Well done Nishas

I had a chicken balti from this establishment. By far the best I've ever had! I'm not from this area so I will be ordering a few portions to keep in the freezer for when I get home. Absolutely delicious!

Absolutely waste of money. Nothing close to the real tandoori. And really unprofessional and rude staffs.

Really disappointing tonight. We were told meal would be £23 free delivery when food arrived it was £26. Then the food ordered was not as requested we ordered a lamb madras Keema as needed it minced du to throat problem and a peshwari paratha. The madras was not keema it was in chunks and the paratha was a plain paratha not peshwari .when rang they did not give a dam. We I’ll not be using them again

Everything was really tasty and like it should be. Loved it, highly recommend. 👌

This place was such a happy discovery at the end of a messed up evening. My family had car drama while traveling, and we needed food fast to continue to our next destination. We were looking for a different place and found this by accident. It looked like a dive, but we took a chance since the reviews were good. Best Indian food we’ve ever had…by far!!! Turned our day around completely and we looked forward to polishing off the leftovers for breakfast. Wish I had it near me in Arizona.

We had takeaway from Nisha's delivered to us. We ordered the cheese bomb naan kebab, a malayan, dansak, chicken tikka rice and poppadoms. It was absolutely delicious. I have never had anything like the naan kebab!! It was so tasty. My malayan curry had lots of chicken, banana and pineapple with plenty of sauce. The rice was spiced but not spicy. Can't wait for my next takeaway!

Not as good as it was.. Still OK though.

Wrong ordered delivered so driver went back to get ours from wherever it was delivered and returned quickly but one of the orders was still wrong after waiting nearly two hours for it. When I rang them asking where it was all I got was human error no offer of compensation or anything. Very disappointed with them as not first time I have used them 😡😡

Still the best Indian takeaway in the area.

Nicest Indian I’ve had for a long time. The butter chicken was excellent, everything crisp and fresh and the sauce SO flavourful. 10/10

First time had to complain usually lovely but chips were black and yesterdays dont care what they say tilka sauce bland with no taste basically manky

That food was to die for..... Take out only. Went for fusion chicken. Very enjoyable. Are nan breads getting smaller?

Always lush here, this is our go to takeout. Highly recommend their pishta kurma

Fantastic food, and fantastic service. Have used these guys for years, and I can't fault them. Food is always lovely and piping hot, and delivery is always spot on time or slightly early. Staff are always pleasant, and drivers are too.

Last minute decision to order a takeaway, never used this restaurant before. The meals were delicious. Definitely use again.

Have used this in the past as it was great. Unfortunately the most recent visit I found the quality of cooking has deteriorated, one vegetarian course very bland and nan bread under baked. I assume that they've lost the good chef.

Had a Just Eat Delivery from here, arrived early, piping hot and well packaged! I got a few things to try! Spicy Chicken Strips, slightly spicy, very crispy and juicy in the middle! Tandoori Special Kebab Delight,, which consisted of doner meat, lamb kofta?, a giant pokora and tikka chicken which was amazing.. nicely spiced, tender and juicy, would defo order a tikka chicken kebab if it tasted like these did 👍i also got a Garlic Nan which was nice and the main event.. which i didnt like haha! To be honest you cant win them all, everything in it was perfect, there was even a heap load of chicken in it! Its hard to write a review without sounding bad but to be honest it had everything going for it, it was just a taste that i didnt like, everyones taste is clearly different and this was not to mines, which was a real shame because everything was perfect! I think i may order another meal and re review for the future 😁👍👌

Nicest Curry's in the local area.

If they could put a simple order together that would be nice for a change. Delivery driver was a bit off, Knocks on door & walks back to his car down the street...? Won't be ordering again.

This place has went way down hill, the last few orders i have had have been bad, the last one i ordered, the popadoms were burnt and the tasteless chicken korma had burst in the bag, ruining all of the food..i wrote a review on a previous order, only to get a negative & defensive reply back from the owner..ill listen to my friends and family next time on this place.

Great food, will deffo order again

Delicious food and excellent service x

Avoid this place like the plague!! Order was totally inedible. The chicken tikka masala resembled a watery mess with a nugget of dry chicken. The onion bhajis were dry and clearly reheated from a previous day. How they have a nerve to charge a premium for this rubbish is shocking.

Once again we can’t fault this Indians they are the best by far. Easy website to order and deliver on time and have never been disappointed. Well done to all.

Our favourite local Indian takeaway. Beautiful food and good portion sizes. The best massala around! We will be moving from the area soon and will be sad to never have another Nisha's.

Do not bother!!! Order was an hour late so it was stone cold when it arrived. The lass on the phone was so unprofessional and no help whatsoever! It’s not worth it.

Absolutely beautiful food the best Indian food I've had for years, definitely worth trying the nan kebab wrap.

Best Indian cuisine around , really nice chicken was lovely

Some of the best Indian takeaway I've ever had. Not oily or too salty. The garlic chicken tikka on puri, chicken tikka vindaloo and chicken pishta kurma were especially good.

Pre ordered a large order the night before New Year's Eve and asked for it to be delivered at 7.30pm. Food arrived at 5pm when I was still at work and my wife had no money on her. Phoned the restaurant after 7 attempts to get through who said it was their mistake. Food arrived at 7.30pm...freezing cold!!! If I was a betting man, I'd say it was still the 5pm food!! Not good at all!!

Enjoyed the food I had, worth trying for yourself

Got told to try this place and wouldn't go anywhere else for a Indians now.. Food is always hot and tastes great

Best Indian food we’ve ever had, highly recommended and will definitely be ordering again! ...delivery driver was an absolute gentleman.

We have used Nisha's for many years now, great staff and even better food.

Do not use if have alergys. Could have a incident with level knowledge. Tried to give eggs to vegan

I rang up as one of the curries we got was incorrect. They Said it would be with us in 5 minutes, 20 minutes later with the rest of our food cold it arrived, they asked for the incorrect curry back... for what reason I do not know... there is a pandemic out there hope no ones ordered a chicken rogan josh... just saying!!!! Rang up to speak to someone about it and they just kept making all the excuses in the world and said we had to go through just eat for a refund. INCORRECT just eat can’t give a refund it has to go through the restaurant, rang up they pretended they couldn’t hear us and hung up the phone. Rang AGAIN said they said they will get back to us once they have spoken to Just eat and half hour later, with no response back so we rang them AGAIN and they just told us that’s they haven’t got any money to give us a refund and they are too busy too talk to us and hang up the phone. PURE JOKE! I work in the food industry if a customer is not happy sort it out!!!!

Had delivery 3 times after recommendation on whickham resident Facebook page. Fabulous hot food every time. Couple of times a little later than requested but didn’t mind as long as it’s good when it arrives.

This place does unreal indian food, honestly if you're looking for indian/Bangladeshi food around gateshead head over to Nisha's Tandoori you will not be disappointed, quick delivery, decent price, scrumptious food what else can one ask for. Wow wow wow.

Ordered via ubereats, social distancing adhered to as doorbell rang and takeaway placed on step. Food delicious, highly recommended!

Lovely meal never been for ages did not disappoint will be going again

Not used for a while till last nite and it was perfect and still piping hot. Won't hesitate to order sooner rather than later.

Highly recommended , ordered a takeaway cost £30.00 it turned up and was barely warm , nan breads were cold. Very disappointed.

Very friendly staff! Then food it very nice and taste, it also very well presented. Happy customer 😀

Terrible food, ordered a jalfrezi and madras, both taste horrible no taste and so chewy , never order again

Worse takeaway experience ever ... It was not about the food or delivery but how I have been spoken to by staff after clarifying about the order on the phone to them ... Insulting and patronising... and even when I returned the food and been given 20 pence extra as they couldn’t provide me with the exact amount, the patronising attitude wouldn’t stop...train your staff some respect towards every costumer ... manners cost nothing...

Usually an excellent takeaway however, this time it took 2 hours to deliver, when it finally turned up the order was wrong. By the time they brought the correct order it was cold. The curry had a consistency of water and went in the bin. Sadly will be looking for another place to order from next time

Really nice and flavoursome. Felt clean and delivery was on time. So happy to find a great Indian take away- finally!

What can I say, been eating here for years. The food is always amazing, tbe staff alwsys open the door for you, I feed this is a nice touch.

The place me and the family go for Indian cuisine. The food we have ordered has always been perfect and the staff always friendly. Nisha's also does a buffet on Thursdays and Sundays which again the family enjoy going for. The restaurant is very nice inside.

Would prefer to say no stars!! Food 45 mins late. Cold... thought just chips but the rest was the same. Used Nisha for a while but totally the worst tonight!! Usual curries we get not the same at all!! Husband binned his and ate an apple!! Worst £30 ever spent!! Offers £10.00 voucher for being late. Won't be using it 😢

Has Nishas changed ownership?? Having used Nishas many times in the past without any complaint, due to the excellent quality of the food, I find myself doubting if I'll ever use them again. Absolutely terrible tonight, portion size of main course and quality of the meat disgraceful, the chips which are usually fantastic in size and flavour were tonight nothing more than cardboard tasting potato peelings. Don't know what's happened of late or if this is just a one off but Nishas used to have a great reputation, if tonight is a taste of things to come then close up now and stop exchanging people's hard earned cash for sub standard food.

Won't be returning - I thought I'd give Nishas a try as haven't been for years so ordered food to collect. The place looks terrible inside, the prefab unit that has taken over the restaurant area ruins the insides and it's looking more run down than ever. If I'd gone for a sit-down I would've walked straight back out. As I waited for my food I heard a cook let off a massive sneeze and envisaged it going all over the food. I tried to forget this as I took the food home, only for my daughter to fund two hairs in her food. That put me off the rest of mine. In an area with so many Indian restaurants this place needs to up its game.

Had a beautiful tasty meal as always, great restaurant/takeaway, service is excellent.

Love this restaurant, food is always lovely. Have had takeaway and have ate in the restaurant.,found the service fantastic and very friendly... Delivery always quick

I have a take away from here about once a month it is a restaurant aswell but preliminary gets used as a takeaway. I always order before 7 it's never more than a half an hour wait if you collect, the currys are always nice, nanns and rices aswell, family ran they are always nice and polite. I have ordered many currys since this first review and everyone has been restaurant quality.

Yummy curry and reasonably priced. Good about allergies.

Love the food from here it's pricey mind but u get what you pay for

Would have given 4 but the reason I didn't is we found our food to be bland.The Bhaji,s had no taste and my chicken jalfrazi was like eating a home made casserole. When we've ordered in the past it's been spot on. Very disappointed with the 2 meals that we ordered The Kemma Naans only had one half with minced meat in it don't nowhere the rest of the filling was but it wasn't in the naan

Love the food here can't say much more than that, it's always been top food and lovely service

Tried this via Just Eat while staying at a mate's in Blaydon. Delivered hot and very tasty. Will visit again.

Just ordered and I am thoroughly shocked! What a meal! Hands down the best takeaway ever! After being in Newcastle for 2 years this is the only real good meal iv had since iv been here, this has really hit my standards of which are very high especially considering my because of the great food iv tried in London, Thx guys, spot on! herr

we use it as a take away every sat. night it is probably the best around this area we have sat in a few times it is excellent.

Great food and great service. No alcohol licence, but you can take your own. The buffet isn't really a buffet..... It's better. Your order what you want, it's brought fresh to your table and then you order more. The advantage being that the food isn't sitting in a bain marie losing its freshness. I only wish I could give them a 6!
