Saleems Takeaway in Gateshead

Once again Saleems has made a fantastic meal . Good size portions of fish . And the burger was delicious.

Once again this place has not let me down . Ordered the fish and burger and chips . The fish was a good size . Not creasy and the burger was delicious.

Curry’s always great, tonight was the best paratha I’ve had in a long long time.

In simple words, this was amazing. Guys I’m actually not the type of person to even leave reviews but this time I honestly just had to. Tell me why first bite in and I was already it was mouth watering. This is no exaggeration this is pure FACTS. The flavour, the taste all of it was insane. PLUSSSS they were generous with the portions. I got such a large portion that I’ve never received in takeaways. Fairly to say this is actually now one of my favourite places. It was an order for 5 and my family enjoyed it aswell.

Only company I know that will consistently send sauce separately to food. Order a wrap? They send the sauce separately so you have to unwrap it, put the sauce in and wrap it yourself

Always had good food from here , pudding not bad either 😋

Brilliant as always. Probably our last order unfortunately as we are moving out of the area. I will pass on menu/recommendation to the new owners of our house. Best of luck.

One of the best takeaways in the area.

Gorgeous food everytime thankyou

I don't live here but our family do. We have been Friday and Saturday night and your staff are amazing. I even complimented the guy packing the food.

Nicest food I've had in a while will definitely order again

Been going here for years and never had a bad experience, food always top quality and great people running it. Highly recommended 5*

Kebab meat had too much salt n pepper

Love the dessert from here but as a family of 5 ordered a pizza for delivery last night was mainly cold when arrived. Definitely not the best pizza we have had I won’t be getting them again from here but will return for the dessert.

Been going to Saleems for close to 10 years now. Still one of the best

Came for a mega munch box as a family of 5 only nice think was the burgers kebab meat was so dry chips were pale white most of it went in the bin

My tandoori chicken was lovely. The keema rice was slightly greasy, but tasty too. I found the cheesy nan bread ‘unusual’ with a cheesy curry sauce - (which I don’t think, I would have again - I thought the cheese would have been in the nan). The nan itself was the best I’d ever tasted (massive and very good quality). Overall, great and a huge choice for every taste on the menu!

Food came and it was disappointing Parmo was like rubber and just tasted liked fish like they had been cooked together & salad was so bland and dry defiantly not worth the money

Solid 5 Stars! I was driving from down south back to Edinburgh and was after some decent quick food. Came across Saleems and stopped in. Got the omelette with chips, side of mushrooms and salad. £5.95! And it was super tasty and less stodgy than a kebab, fish n chips etc. I'll be sure to stop in again when passing by. The takeaway was super busy but efficient. 👍

Depends what you order. Curry's aren't great but do a good kebab

I order from here all the time I just got a kinder tower cake and it’s unbelievably good will be getting more of them

Really dry nanbab asked for the leam special and it had no sauce on it.They also forgot to put the garlic sauce in.Its a shame as I had heard good things about this place but wont be back.I think they are trying to do to many genres of food and its not big enough to cater.

I rang for a takeaway they hung up as soon as they answered

One of the specials really nice and worth it everything was spot came very qwick fresh and hot yum The curry pizza was done perfectly and was the best I have had a little salty but it was really good it was proper curry pizza everything was done perfectly the leam special nan ban was also very tasty the chips where done perfectly the kebeb tasted really nice the Sheek kebeb was nice the chiken Tikka was nice and moist the massive nan was tasty aswell the box is big enuf for tow people guess they are so busy becuse they do really good food the service is really good fast and very qwick properly one of the best takeaways in gateshed the sag curry was nice taxi special but the Rogan pizza was a little salty

Never used these for a while went back tonight and a must say it was the best curry av had in a long time meat beautiful fresh just like the old days when the dad ran it

Best fast food in gateshead 5 star rating

Won't be returning. Last order I make. So annoyed they messed it up. Seems to be happening more and more recently. Third and last time.

The desert box is so delicious I reccomend, the wraps are lush

U joking you've gotta pay for your veg and chicken separate if u want a chicken korma how bloody stupid

BEST TAKEAWAY EVER, never had a bad one, staff are great and Chicken tikka mossala pizza is just unreal.

Love coming here foods always great and staff very friendly

We ordered food after a particularly hard day at work at 22.38 At 23.40 we rang querying the order and were told the driver was moments away. At 23.49 when we still hadn't received food I rang again to be told it was 5ish minutes away. 00.19am and we are still without our delivery. At this point I was put on hold by another member of staff who then told me at 00.20am the driver said he was outside. He did not show u0 until another 4 minutes after this and we were charged full price of £29.75 for our food. £30 handed over luckily the food was warm. Not best pleased. Literally just added more anger to an already problematic day in general.

Beautiful food, staff on the phone were very polite and helpful. Will definitely be coming back

We placed an order for delivery (one pizza and one kebab), despite waiting 2 hours 30 minutes for it to arrive, it was lovely! The staff were polite on the phone and the delivery driver was very apologetic for the delays. The food arrived relatively hot and was absolutely lush! Delays can’t be helped, it’s a Saturday night so I can only imagine how busy it’s been for the staff but we just wanted to say thank you!! We’ll definitely order again soon :) x

Food takes way to long ordered takeaway pizza waited 50 minutes I could of made and cooked half a dozen in that time. Sat 25 minutes to be told 3 or 4 minute wait good job it was my husband waiting and not me.

Beautiful lamb bhuna so tender , roasties lovely ,and balti mixed kebab was lush too ,good portion sizes ,live in dipton but travel here for takeaway so that says it all 😆

Ordered the Thursday Special - food was lovely albeit chicken was quite dry. Would order again.

Lovely food, prices have gone up while portions have went down in size. Now you pay more for less.

Can get all sorts all in. Same place and it's bangin😁

we have been waiting 1 hour and 15min for our food and the pizza came soggy and has got too much sauce in, we won’t be ordering again as we have came phoned the restaurant and they wasn’t helpful at all so bad customer service and was not respectful, also hang up the phone. We all same people.

Ordered 2 pizzas.£27.10.waited 2 hours for delivery was cold when arrived,also ordered online which was supposed to be 10 per cent off.never got discount.

Just ordered food & they had forgot my Coca-Cola, but I rang them & they went out of there way to bring it to me, enjoyed me pizza & kebab & quality service, thanks again 👏😊

I ordered my food at 7.30 and by 9pm it’s still not arrived, I rang to query and it’s on its way apparently, in the background there is a girl shouting no refunds for anyone, if you haven’t said what you are going to do then I want a refund!!

Used to order off these a lot, never again got food poisoning off chicken curry, my partner had a chicken kebab, same issue rings these and they didn't care, well you care now its on google mate

What more can I say been going ever since it opened, old Dad and Family plus staff soot on, 10/10 from me 👍

Wasn't the best of foods as I expected probably because of my choice of making it spicy. it was decent. The service was great with a lovely and calm atmosphere.

Wouldn't order again delivery time is shocking all the time takes like 1hr half

Food was absolutely freezing 🥶 I had to warm it up shocking never ordering again the salad 🥗 was warmer lol 😆

We have popped up this way a few times to see relatives and each time we order from Saleems! They seem to do something for everyone - kebabs, Indian, fish and chips and my personal fav the Parmas! Various dishes come with chips or rice etc. and it's very filling!! (as well as tasting good to!) If uou order over a certain amount they also throw in a free frozen drink or something similar. You really can't beat this place!

Quality food very reasonable prices fast delivery highly recommended

Absolutely delicious but there must have been a sharp turn on the way to deliver it, doesn't effect the flavour but it does make it more awkward to eat

Order from here every weekend and can never fault it. Tasty food and huge portion’s and friendly staff.

This is the second week my food has been cold. Not happy

Been waiting nearly 2 hours for food to he delivered. When we rang they said their waiting Fri driver ?????

Ordered a pretty big order to collect on Christmas eve and the timing was great and the food was perfect. I've never had nicer mosalla, litterally no where does it as nice 😍

Highlighted in instruction box no onions or tomatoes in wrap & it wasn't read, so be careful if you have any allergies! I had practically a whole red onion in amongst my salad in wrap which went in the bin! Last few deliveries have been late & cold! Very expensive when it isn't hot or what you ordered! Definitely going elsewhere from now on.

The naan kebabs are huge so order to share... I’d recommend using the website/app to pre-order as they are punctual and it can be a wait otherwise. They are well organised and friendly and there’s usually space to park on the street outside. Saleems special bbq nan kebab was £13. It’s huge, so enough for at least 2 adults with decent appetites and definitely good value for money. It was a pizza box with a full size properly made naan on the bottom layer, with tasty spiced donner, chicken and salad filling the rest of the space. The garlic and chilli sauce were also top notch. I’d probably just get the Leam House Special next time though. They do proper chip shop chips and the pizzas (including the curry pizza) are surprisingly good for a jack of all trades type fast food shop. Lots of complaints about delivery prices on here and yes, it is £4, but if you’re less than a mile maybe just pick it up… If you’re worried about being shortchanged, pay by card… It’s not Spice Hut but it’s a good kebab shop.

Another poor reception of an order for the money spent. Ordered a few things and granted all of them bar one thing was really disappointing. I bought a chicken kebab and it was soaked in salad when originally asked for chips. The box was soaked right through and chips missing, took over an hour to receive them under 2miles away. I think for what you pay, this place is starting to get ridiculous as they've also jacked their prices up in recent times. Luckily for me I had a voucher and then had my money refunded through UberEats. I wouldn't pay full price for a takeaway here. I can't understand why takeaways like this can't read a simple order. If you can't do it properly don't do it at all! My advice would be to go get yourself and order inside place because they clearly can't take an order through an app.

Food is nice but not that nice for your delivery price.. am going else were from now on because your delivery prices are just a joke especially when you're going round the corner and charging that much

Loved every bight. Well worth the money

Lamb in our curry was lovely and loads of it, but just too salty for my taste

Food came nice and hot but the delivery drivers should bring and have change with them all the time ,I had to say just keep it , which it was £4.90 change.

Food outstanding great service

Bad enough that the food is mediocre, but to charge £4 for delivery & service charge to deliver under 1 mile away - Never again!!!!

What you done to your kababs ? A kabab is pita bread with the meat inside and salad on top, not meat wrap in foil and salad on top of the foil and shoved in carton.

Always the vest service a nd food

Love the food here pizza is great fantastic kebab and to top it off authentic curries.

Cold food that is meant to be warm, warm garlic & chilli (meant to be chilled)?!. Always have to reheat food in microwave, ALWAYS.. Maybe should invest in some thermal delivery bags like other restaurants?! Nearly 2 hours waiting. Definitely the last time ordering

Food came quick and was really delicious

Food is fantastic. Mixed kebabs and curry pizzas unreal. Keep up the good work guys😋

Had a Just Eat delivery from here. I got Lahori Fish, Tandoori Lamb Chops and the Tandoori mixed grill. The lahori fish was delishious, this seems to be my new favorite from the takeaways if they have it 😁 the tandoori lamb chops were really nice too and as for the mixed grill.. there was plenty of it and it tasted nice, i just thought the tandoori flavour was a bit overkill seen as i already had the tandoori chops as my starter. It was nice tho..

Terrible service. Sent chips instead of salad then told us they would drop the salad off in 15 minutes. Took them 30 minutes to drop it off. Food was stone cold by the time the salad come. No complimentary items or anything. Just the salad handed over 15 minutes later than they were supposed to.

Last few orders i.e wraps cheesy garlic bread and curries have been spot on and delivered very quickly would give them a five but tikka masala was too sweet for me just as well I got the Jalfrezi

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS TAKEAWAY. I am absolutely disgusted at the lack of professionalism and customer support at Saleem's. The manager repeatedly shouted at my brother on the phone after he'd raised a complaint about the state of his pizza. The manager decided to take no responsibility to the mess of a dinner my brother had received and became extremely defensive. We order from Saleem's often and have never experienced such poor quality of service, we certainly will NOT be using them again. Sort your customer service out.

Ordered a pizza via the app. The Pizza took over an hour and a half to arrive which by that time it was 11:40pm When i opened the pizza it looked like the image attached. It ended up been thrown away and me been £12 out of pocket. I didn't contact the restraunt on the night as it was late and didn't want to stay up and wait another hour and a half to get my food. I contacted at 4:30pm the next day when they opened to request a refund or to have my food redelivered today. The manager decided that they would shout at me, do nothing about this issue and said the whole thing is my fault because i didn't contact them on the night. Ive ordered from here before and the deliver time is alwasy anything from 1 hour 30mins - 3 hours. The live chat is a waste of time if ytou have an issue and the manager couldnt care less if you speak to him on the phone. Hope the rest of your customer dont get the same expierence i got and i hope they dont accept this quailty of this pizza acceptable. Thanks for nothing!

Curry pizza’s are phenomenal, can’t praise them enough

Can't recommend this place enough! Gorgeous Indian takeaway meals at such a decent price! Shop v busy, but staff really canny and food comes hot!!

Never had a poor meal, always good value for money

My meal tonight was absolutley disgusting would not recommend all went in bin had no taste what so ever

There's a reason it's always so busy!

Absolutely disgusting!! Delivery driver did not care about delivering the pizza's carefully. Pizza's turned up as the photo's provided. When calling the takeaway, owners handled the situation in a professional manner, however the delivery driver delivering again handled the situation in such a unprofessional manner due to having to deliver again.

Food is brilliant all ways quality food 😃

Busy place huge portion sizes can easily feed 2 to 3 persons per meal.

Mashallah very nice food came from leeds and found this takeaway on google so tried it out. Owner was very friendly and recommended what to get the pizza was very nice fish and chips spot on and doner and chicken tikka was very nice and fresh thank you to the brother who served us was very polite.Top service brother thank you if im around the area in future will be back for sure.👍

Awful service. Rude.Horrendous attitude from serving staff. Honestly.go.across the road or next door to British Raj. This place is devoid of any customer service or quality of food..

Just had rogan josh,, and must say any indians serving food like that should be ashamed,, zero flavour, rice was like it had sat for days,, never ever order from there again,, most went in bin

All the food tasted like curry unfortunately put me off my pizza and ended up putting it all in the bin

Ordered on Uber Eats, and then waited over 2 hours for food. Arrived warm enough to eat, only just. At best our meal was average. Mixed kebab decent and a lot of salad, but pizza bland. The order was messed up and by mistake we received a nan kebab as well in error, which would normally be a bonus. This wasn't touched and went straight in bin. I used to order from Saleems a lot, but hadn't in a while and after this experience I won't be again. Plenty more reliable places Ill use instead. Would have been 1 star but the delivery driver was a lovely sympathetic lady, but unfortunately after our wait I'd already decided I wasn't giving a tip.

Ordered 5.30 it's now 20.43. Rang several times to be told order on its way. But 3 hrs and 15 mins and still not here. Not good at times. Ordered off uber eats. Never do this again

Overpriced, foods nothing special

Lovely food great staff, can get really busy but worth the wait, order in advance and collecr to save time

Absolute joke waiting time, then turn up cold, paying full price on top, 3 times this has happened not ordering again. Poor service over the phone also

The best in the north east of England.

Absolutely beautiful food tonight.We got a Indian set meal for two very tasty, gorgeous chunks of chicken.Loads of food will definetly be back.

Food arrived late and stone cold. Cheesy chips burnt to a crisp. Only redeeming element was the garlic sauce.

Cold, but damn tasty house special kebab. Cheers

Meal was late and i got curry sauce instead of keema rice!

Very disappointed with order tonight menu says naan bab chicken, chicken tikka, kebab. Meat never got that just fobbed of on phone chicken must of been cooked in tikka OK I just come of a banana boat OK

Very nice ,but would have liked batter on my chips, were dry.

Of the six people working behind the counter only 1 person (a young lad with glasses) followed Covid-19 guild lines ,, 2 lasses with masks under there chins, 2 wore nothing and 1 never stopped (blonde lass) chewing, I won't be going back!!!!
