Shandiz Restaurant in Sunderland

Simplemente lo mejor. Probé muchos restaurantes en el centro de la ciudad, pero siempre regresan al Shandiz. La mejor comida y el personal sin ninguna duda. Comida y servicio 5 estrellas

Food was slightly cold on arrival, wraps were a little bit soggy. Hopefully just a one off but wouldn’t stop me from trying again

Good size portions and good quality

food was very good except the baklava was bad before was very good but this time it was awful sorry to say that but the food was delicious

Excellent food, warm, tasty, as always!

Lovely fresh food just what was needed after a weekend away. Thanks

Dispute the delivery, food was outstanding!

Very welcoming place, as the second home ❤️

Ordered early for delivery and hour later ,stone cold, had to microwave it and the nan in the air fryer

Absolutely delicious and authentic food as always. I personally recommend the lamb kabsa, especially if you've had a long day at work and want something delicious and heartwarming. 😁

Very easy to order food came early and the food was amazing. Will be ordering from there again.

Lovely fresh food, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Only downside was the mixed kebab for 2 was pictured with salad but came without

Fui aquí esta noche por tercera vez y estuvo tan bien como siempre. El personal era acogedor y muy amable. Antes de la red nos dieron un tazón gratis de deliciosa sopa de lentejas picante que era encantador. Mi pareja luego tomó el cordero con arroz al azafrán y yo tuve el cordero persa guisado, ambos muy bien cocinados, sabrosos, llenos y todo maravilloso. Esto junto con una botella muy decente de vino tinto de la casa llegó a increíblemente razonable £ 41. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficientemente alto, desde la comida increíble hasta el personal encantador. Lástima que el lugar no estaba más ocupado, pero con la competencia de muchos restaurantes nuevos en la ciudad, tal vez esto no es sorprendente. Definitivamente estar haciendo otra visita a este lugar en poco tiempo. Recomendado sin reservas.

¡Ama a Shandiz por lo que sus envolturas van a morir! ¡Los kebabs mixtos también son de calidad! ¡El ajo y el chile son perfectos! Me encanta la sopa de cortesía para empezar 👌 Eres nuestro lugar de ir garantizado para salir lleno y satisfecho 😊

Always lovely food and good service

Wonderful staff, so hospitable. Gorgeous food and so creatively presented. Perfect start to an evening at the theatre with friends. Have ordered on Just eat too (although quantity of food was less than served in restaurant?) But still amazing and enough to eat. I ordered the one person platter (3 kebabs with rice) and a feta salad as a side. My friend ordered a curry with rice and chocolate cake.

Ordered this meal to test out the food and ate in the actual restaurant last night - again ordering the same meal. However, im curious, the take out had 2 kebabs and too much rice the meal inside restaurabt had 3 kebabs and rice. Sane price?

Food was delicious ,always so consistent if I could give more than a 5 star I definitely would

absolutely class, best takeaway we have had in ages 😋

I was surprised, quite on time and delicious! I recommend 100%!

Best food around, been coming here for years the food is always delicious!

missing a naan and a can of coke however the food is exceptional

Was blowing away by quality and portions here Staff were brilliant

Gran servicio, excelentes recomendaciones, chef persa para añadir auténtico. Buena noche. Gran relación calidad-precio, incluso tenía kebab de pollo de repuesto para el almuerzo de mañana!

I love their halloumi wrap, it's really delicious! And balava as well. It's my go-to place 😋🌯

Tenía comida para llevar de aquí antes, pero en realidad nunca se sentó en el restaurante. Llamé después del trabajo por capricho y no me decepcionó. Absolutamente hermosa comida y personal encantador!

Great food. Had the Chicken Arabic Wrap, was very delicious. Thanks

My favourite takeaway, the food is always delicious.

I haven't had a Shandiz in ages and forgot how good they are. I absolutely inhaled it.

The carton of veg curry was less than half full, this was meant to be shared between two people and there wasn’t enough to soak the rice, I noticed the portion size of the curry was a lot smaller than the rice on a few occasions in the past, but this time it was on another level, I can only assume they ran out of curry because it was a late order. I have requested a full refund.

Food was nice my name is Evie richardson and the bog was destroyed after

We love Shandiz- it’s a staple in our weekly dinners. They’re always quick to deliver, and the food is always quality.

This place was recommended to us by our neighbour, we have ordered a couple of times, and the food is absolutely spot on, and is hot when it arrives unlike some places, would highly recommend 👏🏼👏🏼

Best food I've ever tasted!! highly recommended 👌

Really tasty food. I’ve been here a few times now when me and my wife are in Sunderland. Very reasonably priced food as well. Whenever I’m here I will try another dish. Big portions and the food is seasoned perfectly. I will be going later on as well to try another dish. Really friendly family restaurant. I highly recommend trying if your in this area.

Absolutely beautiful, 1st time ordering fro. Here and i will definitely not be the last. Everything was hot and very tasty. Garlic sauce was lovely. The lamb wrap with tender peices of juicy lamb and salad was amazing. Everything very tasty and fresh

Excellent. Great value wraps and very tasty.

Arrived hot, really tasty. Would definitely order again

First time I've tried this place. Had the chicken and kofta wrap with hummus on the side. absolutely beautiful. I'll be ordering again in the future for sure!

I am so pleased I ordered from this place for the 1st time tonight. I ordered a chicken & kofta wrap with chips and dips. Everything was absolutely delicious! .. I called the restaurant to thank them and I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu.

Stunningly good food. We had never had Persian food before but the waitress was so helpful and the dishes we had were amazing. Really rich flavours, beautifully presented and very generous servings.

Called in before going to the theatre. Two of us shared falafel starter and aubergine dip and flat bread followed by a chicken wrap with 2 soft drinks Food was out of this world and far plenty enough fir us Bill £24 !A bargain for such a delicious and beautifully presented meal Staff friendly and decor so pretty

I often go to the Shandiz restaurant, but today I didn't want to leave the house and I ordered it online. Delicious food as always. Very satisfied. 10 Stars end more

Absolutely beautiful food, exactly what we fancied. So tasty, plentiful, fantastic quality.

I am regularly visiting Sunderland to work so I have to rely on local restaurants. Most of the time I just want to order food to my hotel room. I have been to the restaurant couple of times but had probably 20+ takeaways. I have never had a bad meal. The food is absolutely amazing. It’s one of the reason why I am staying in near by hotel is so I can order food from Shandiz all times. The meat is so delicious, dips are full of flavour and nan bread is just incredible. I hope owners and chef get to see this review. Well done, you are serving simply fantastic food.

The food is good like all Persians restaurants, but the quantity is less. If you visit a Persians place in Newcastle, you get a good quantity of the same food. But overall, the place is worth a try.

had to ring multiple times .. order nearly 2 hours late ... food not up to usual standard after many times

£15 for not very much meat and salad with no dressing. I usually like this place but that was not worth the money at all..

Lady on phone was very rude and accusing me that I put the wrong mobile number and driver has been trying to ring me a couple of times. I only have one mobile number and previous drivers were always able to contact me with my only mobile number. I haven’t received any phone call from a driver since I’ve put the order in. The lady was so dismissive on the phone. It’s a shame because I have always ordered from Shandiz and had no problems before.

5 stars even threw cheese on the wrap for free

Perfect food every time! Comes red hot and is full of flavours. we have wings, arabic wrap & a mixed grill for 2. Never disappointed

Delicious food, very friendly, helpful and patient service (and they gave us free soup!) excellent prices and decent portion sizes. loads of vegan/veggie options. Cosy and quiet, relaxing atmosphere.

First time here .....why has it taken so long! Mixed grill was amazing, fresh & tasty. Lovely selection of drinks. Staff really friendly and suggestions for next time ...thanks guys xx

I appreciate I live 3 miles away from the restaurant but my food turned up cold. Not good enough

Answered door, delivery driver instantly being rude, insisted he had been there 10 mins, despite no ring door bell notification or knock on door. Terrible customer service.

I've been here many times now. It's always amazing!!

Its really lovely restaurant , I’m surprised that there is a Mediterranean here in Sunderland, Great chips and mix girll , stuff was friendly .Highly recommend.

Service was amazing. Portions were generous. Food was cooked to perfection for my taste. And desserts were really good.

I had a lovely time here as the food was amazing, the staff was very sweet and the atmosphere was friendly.

I was delighted to find an Iranian restaurant in the city of Sunderland, as it added a nice touch to my one-day trip. The staff there were kind and welcoming, and they treated me with respect. I ordered lamb chops with rice, which was very delicious and tasty, although the quality of the rice could have been better. Considering the difficulty of finding Iranian ingredients in a European country, it was acceptable. The only thing that slightly concerned me was when it came time to pay the bill, they said they only accepted cash, and I didn't have any on me. 😬 Luckily, my friend was kind enough to cover the entire bill. So, if you ever visit Sunderland, I recommend giving it a try.

The quality of the food was awful, the service was worse than the food, the basic things that every restaurant should observe were not observed at all. The atmosphere also felt like I came from a somsari to a restaurant, the flowers on the table were like the flowers I had seen on the grave thirty years ago in Iran. You take cash to avoid taxes, you can escape from the alcohol tax, but at least in one case, you must comply with the minimum. To make the customer want to come to your restaurant again. I wrote Farsi so that at least you don't lose your English customers

Beautiful food will order again

Was great but was missing the soup which I payed 5.50 for

Best chicken wrap I’ve ever had

Was lush food and was at a very good price. Great chips and a burger. Will be back next time I'm nere by

Fantastic service. Amazing food sizzling lamb chops and chicken Shish. Rice was amazing, buttery rice.

I have been a loyal customer with this restaurant for a number of years. Go in with groups of friends have for years but also order. I order that much I have been awarded £10.40 in the stamp cards and when I have placed My order because it is £10.40 discount they have cancelled the order. I tried 3 times and they cancelled each one. will not be returning. greedy greedy

Loyal customer but now refusing to honour the stamp card deal. Immensely greedy behaviour with no communication whatsoever. Tried twice on one night to get rejected, tried again a week later and same thing. Won’t be ordering from here again. I hope the extra tenner is worth it.

What an absolutely brilliant little unpretentious gem in a city full of great restaurants. We went looking for an Italian restaurant, it was fully booked. We thought the Shandiz was only a takeaway, and my wife said lets see what it looked like as we walked back. From the outside it looks 'poor' but the inside is surprisingly lovely in Iranian /Persian style. But the food , OMG, for the money is simply amazingly brilliant. We were served by Nahal who was beyond lovely, professional and attentive. If you fancy a brilliant CHEAP meal, ours with a bottle of good house red wine costed only £40.99, you can't go wrong! Go here and enjoy. I strongly recommend a bargain great meal with great flavours and service!

Best take away in sunderland at the moment 10/10

We regularly ordered from Shandiz and had accrued enough stamps on our stampcard, however the restaurant cancels any order made using the stampcard discount but will put through orders at full price. We won't be ordering from here again.

We dropped in by chance - what a discovery! Fantastic Persian food, very nice service and more than reasonably priced. Recommended!

We order from here a lot, and we’d earned a nice amount on a stamp card to deduct from this order. The restaurant cancelled the order with no real reason other than they’re not accepting stamp cards.. we ordered full price but the food is not to its usual standard tonight 😟

Great place to eat clean tasty value for money food.

Another great delivery of fab food from Shandiz!

Food only took a moment to sort when I arrived - but it was the wrong order. Instead of a chicken and chips wrap I got a halloumi and salad wrap. It was too late when I realised, so I can say it tasty, but I had added a no onions comment and there were onions in the salad - this order mistake could have been problematic if it had been an onion allergy, rather than an intolerance, as they were hard to find.

A very friendly welcome and tasty food from an interesting Persian menu. Plenty of vegetarian options. We were served a complimentary bowl of delicious lentil soup each. We had starters which were generous in size. Kash E Bademjan starter tasted as good as it looked. I had the Faseenjan main which was different and quite a sweet main. Thank you Shandiz.

The lamb's testicles and sheep's heads was delicious!!

Had a fantastic meal with family here today.. food and service was excellent and very reasonably priced.. the manageress was very welcoming and friendly and the waitress did a excellent job with a smile.. would recommend highly.

Wonderful food as always, the food never disappoints it is always delicious and cooked beautifully

The food was absolutely delicious, the best restaurant I’ve ever been in UK. But the atmosphere it wasn’t that good. I surely recommend this fabulous place. If I live in Sunderland I would come here every night to eat.

The chicken wrap was delicious.. I only had two issues, the food temp was a little on the cold side and there were only about twenty chips in one portion. Looked like someone had helped themselves to a few en route. If that's not the case then £3 for half a portion of chips is a little on the tight side. Saying that I would order again as the chicken was a delight!

The food was as delicious as always. One of the best Persian restaurants in the region. Thank you

Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a kebab salad is so fresh and crisp amazing

Great service, food was delivered quicker than expected for a Sunday evening. Food was fresh and everyone enjoyed it. Many thanks!

Never disappoint, their kebab kobedeh with rice was delicious and grilled chicken wings were yummy, we will definitely order again.

Never lets you down. Best in town

Very nice , excellent service food fresh and authentic

Great tasting food. Brilliant service. Will be back again.

They got my order wrong and give me a wrap with nuts in. They just laughed their mistake off and give me the correct order (after having to drive back) For all they knew I could've been allergic so laughing it off didn't sit well with me. I don't think I will be returning EDIT FOR A REPLY: You are incorrect. You do a Nutella Wrap. Hence why I did not notice until I took a bite of my 'chicken' wrap. If I had allergies, I could be in hospital or dead. You really need to update your staff that Nutella contains nuts and double check all orders that have nuts to make sure they are correct. You are opposite TTonic

Food is very nice here, very friendly and polite staff. Food is always Delicious

Food was excellent and so was the service. Looked more like a fancy cafe though.

Normally brilliant in every way but something but quite right tonight

Starter of Falafel was burnt black and solid as a rock and the salad with it was old, the lettuce had brown edges so that went straight in the bin. The lamb in the wrap was so chewy I gave up before I choked to death. If you value your teeth and life don't buy from here, horrendously dissapointing.

Good quality and quantity of food. Would order again.

excellent food delivered piping hot as always

Delicious food, fantastic quality and great portion size! Will order again

Got a lamb wrap that came luke warm with six chips. Not very flavourful and didn't feel like value for money at all. Disappointed after hearing so many good things.

Best place in Sunderland, never had a bad meal.

I came to Sunderland in 2018 and learned about the restaurant from my friends. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I returned in 2019 and invited my family to visit and the food was of the same level and quality. I came back 5 years after my first visit and Shandy's is still the same. The best Persian restaurant in England 👍🏻
