Shiraz Indian Cuisine in Newcastle upon Tyne

Si te gusta un curry caliente echa un vistazo a este lugar. Tuve una madras y está allí con lo mejor hasta ahora. Servicio animado por el gerente que hizo todo lo posible por servirnos. Yo, Mam y yo volveríamos; el keema naan es para morirse.

Intentamos encontrarlo, sin embargo, cuando llegamos a la dirección ya no había un restaurante allí y nos dijeron que cerró hace algún tiempo.

Nice place. Lovely food. Clean. Worth a visit. Gets busy.

Great food in Newcastle. Sometimes you have to wait a while for a spot

Indian cuisine isn't everyone cup of tea. However I had a friend who was Indian and I got to like his style of cooking. Anyway try it yourself you may well enjoy the experience.

No estaba tan feliz de ir a un restaurante vegano pero necesitaba respetar a mi colega. . . No puedo describir lo delicioso que estaba. Comida muy sabrosa, muy especial, buen ambiente, buena cerveza, buen servicio. . Ama cada minuto de ello.

Visitamos este lugar una vez cada pocas semanas y siempre es un lugar encantador para comer, el personal es excelente, la comida es muy sabrosa y Cobra siempre está fría. ??

Visitamos Shiraz como parte de nuestra experiencia de partido contra Manchester City el 27 de diciembre de 2017, y para ser honesto, no volveremos. Al principio asistimos al restaurante hermano Taj Palace, solo para que nos dijeran que estaban cerrados, por lo que un miembro del personal nos ordenó que asistiéramos a Shiraz, donde nos mostraron nuestros asientos y nos sentamos rápidamente. Encontramos que el menú era detallado pero carecía de una buena relación calidad-precio, especialmente en comparación con otras cocinas indias cercanas. Compramos algunas bebidas que llegaron poco después, sin embargo, una vez que pedimos nuestras comidas, nos encontramos esperando un período de tiempo bastante largo. Personalmente, compré un entrante de kebab mixto junto con un pollo tikka mossala mientras que uno de mis otros amigos pidió un madras y el otro también pidió un mossala. Cuando llegaron mi abridor y Popadom, quedé impresionado, las salsas hermosas felicitaban tanto a Popadom como al entrante deliciosamente. Fue excepcional, pero lo que siguió a mi arranque fue pobre. Mi plato mossala era muy pequeño, y este fue el mismo caso para el curry de mi amigo también. Los sabores suaves y las porciones muy pequeñas de pollo nos dejaron con ganas de comer más. Mi pan de Nan era muy pobre ya que apenas podía probar algún Keema, por otro lado Peshwari Nan de mi amigo era aparentemente muy sabroso. Durante la comida, mi amigo se aventuró al baño, donde una vez que regresó, lo que nos dijo fue bastante francamente impactante, con inodoros muy sucios con marcas de derrames en toda la taza del inodoro. En general, nos fuimos Shiraz pagando un alto precio, todavía con hambre y poco tiempo para ir a la calle James 'Park debido a una larga espera para el curry.

I visited the restaurant whilst in Newcastle on business. The main reason i choose to eat in this restaurant was after looking at their menu outside, only to find that the dish i wanted was no longer available on the menu. Starter was ok along with the main dish, however my naan bread was very strange. It was thick and heavy and i couldn't really eat it. Sorry Shiraz, but i would not return.

Run by the same family who have Karma Kitchen, the entirely vegan Indian take away, this is a fantastic place to eat for veggies and meat eaters alike. They offer all the Karma Kitchen menu so just ask if there's something on there that you don't see (e.g. tofu tikka masala). In my opinion, this is the best Indian in Newcastle. Would highly recommend.

Ok I got here at 7:15 on a Wednesday but I was the only person in the restaurant... Why?????? The food is good, value amazing as they have a £9.95 menu between 6-8pm which includes a popadom, starter, main and rice or nan!! I had the prawn purée which was good, followed by chicken dopiaza and plain Nan- tasty generous portion Staff are friendly too So come on guys and girls- if you want your local restaurants to survive, you need to vote by your feet....after all under a tenner for a meal must be a must?? Maybe it gets busier later but I doubt it- it’s up to you locals to help make this more successful... I hope you do 😃

Firstly this review us 100% genuine and solely my opinion on the day. Have recently had a lovely chicken byriani. Restaurant is well positioned in Newcasles Bigg Market area.Portions are maybe on the lean side .....but the food was very nice. Staff were all very good. Recommended.

Popped in to the Shiraz whilst in Newcastle. Lovely ladies serving and also the chef is a lady. All the tandoori food is made by a man as well as the breads. Had the fish masala to start which was totally delicious and huge. My husband had the chicken chat which again was huge and delicious. Then left my main to the chef. Was really nice but on a par with others. The very best thing is the night was the peshwari naan. Have never tasted anything like it. Totally delicious. Looked more like an apple tart. So much so that I left most of my main to concentrate on the naan. You really must try.

Came here on Tuesday evening and had the banquet deal. We each had a poppadoms and pickles, starter, curry, naan or rice which came to £25 with a drink each. Excellent value! I had the onion Bhaaji to start which I have to say I wasn't keen on but this may just be down to my personal taste. The curry was what you'd expect and the peshwari naan was by far the nicest part! It was lacking in atmosphere, mainly because it was empty but also because they were not playing traditional Indian music. Both ladies were very nice and attentive. Not sure if I would return but if you're looking for a cheap eat, this is for you!

We’d been to the theatre and needed a late meal. Came across Shiraz. Really friendly family run restaurant. The dishes were very traditional. The poppadoms and pickles were lovely. The coriander pickle was really different and a welcome addition. I have never seen as many cashew nuts in the nut pillau! The peshwari naan was the best I’ve tasted with lots of coconut and pistachio nuts. I will definitely be returning.

Best lamb jalfrezi in Newcastle and lovely staff. Lamb melted in the mouth and nice spice without burning your head off.

Visited on very busy Friday night just before Xmas. Fast service, great food. Only 4 stars as house wine not fab. I will return thought

We had a Christmas Day out drinking and decided we fancied indian. Usually go to taj over the road but they sent us here as they had problems with the gas. We were really pleased the food was good and the service was quick and friendly. Not the smartest place inside but the food & staff made up for this. The chicken madras was lovely the chicken melted in your mouth. We would definitely visit again.

We absolutely loved this restaurant! We have never tasted food as good as this. It is beautiful! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. What made it better was the price... 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 poppadoms and 2 naans. As well as 2 bottles of wine and 3 bottles of beer... ALL FOR UNDER £60. Absolute bargain. We would 100% recommend this place!! And we will definitely be returning again.

.......we got there last night and it was very good. After a chat to the lady on reception we - couple of 'friends' and I - decided to have a meal. It was quite quiet when we sat down but several tables were taken up...

Very good menu with wide choice of dishes. The ones we chose were delicious. The staff were all especially welcoming and friendly and we shall definitely return again - and again, and again!

First time in Newcastle, late Saturday night, murky weather so decided on an Indian ...seen Shiraz had good reviews and went to see if we could get a table .On first sights its a small door and steps but on entering the restaurant it soon changes .Lovely decor and roomy ,it wasnt too busy and we ordered and it wasnt long before we had our starter and main meal. We had onion bajais ,lamb dopiaza poppadoms keema rice and garlic naan .The food was good quality and with a pint if cobra and a GnT for the wife we found the Shiraz a perfect place for a special meal ..

Great food chicken melted in your mouth defo recommend came within 40 min and got a free bottle of red wine with the food lovely touch

Lovely meal great service chicken chatti best I've tasted ,,5of us dining cost came to less than ,£110 including drinks

This was my first time visiting this reasturaunt and if I am ever to visit Newcastle again I will defiantly come back for another meal ,the food was amazing and beautiful,and plentiful portion size ,that good I could not finish my main meal ,I went in the happy hour time exelent value for money , but saying that on the other menu they had South Indian chilli chicken so would have won my heart with that dish also , I recommend you give this wee reasturaunt a visit ,lovely friendly ladies and helpful that serve you ,

We had actually booked in the Taj Palace but there was a problem with their alarm system, so they showed us over the road to the Shiraz which has the same owner. We weren't disappointed.

Visité el Shiraz mientras con amigos para una gran noche de viernes en Newcastle Bash. Bastante tarde en que a la trouped Shiraz, que está muy bien situado en el concurrido mercado. Nos decepcionó ver solo otras 2 mesas en uso en lo que es un comedor muy grande. Pensamos que podría ser un indicador de mala comida, sin embargo, excelentes platos para comer fuera de la parte especiales del menú. El Cordero y el pollo servido estaba hermosamente tierna y el servicio era amable y atento. Este restaurante merece ser mucho más concurrido.

The food was amazing. But mostly the staff were so helpful and very friendly. We were only visiting Newcastle for the night but we would 100% revisit this place. They made us feel so welcome and looked after, even calling us a cab afterwards. Couldn't have asked for a nicer or better dining experience!

The staff were very friendly. The food was amazing. I had the lamb vindaloo. The lamb was very tender. The keema rice was amazing. Well worth a visit.

OK it was early, we were the first two there and all the prep was still ongoing for what could.be a busy Thursday. But it was cold, the food looked the same albeit two different dishes and it wasn't memorable. It will be some time before I return!

Had a great meal at the Shiraz,food was lovely,staff very friendly , good atmosphere and price very reasonable . We will visit again when we are next in Newcastle and fancy a curry

Amazing indian cuisine, great atmosphere and very very attentive and friendly staff.... wouldn't go anywhere else for indian food! And the prices are so cheap!!! amazing!! Thankyou, will return xx

Beautiful food. Great service. We were staggered at the quality of the food for such a bargain price. Well recommend

We came up from Liverpool for a weekend and had a lovely meal the food was gorgeous and the staff were lovely will definitely return

Choice of food is lovely and quality is very good, people are so friendly makes a lovely evening out.

I've been to Shiraz to eat 6 times in the past year and have never been disappointed. The food is good and tasty and great value and the service is exceptional. Don't walk past the door, go in and upstairs and try it...it's fab!!

Excelente comida Hindú , de entrada pedí pollo tandoori y de plato principal pedí vindaloo con arroz pilaf y todo estuvo buenísimo, con mucho sabor y buena presentación pero lo mejor fue , la atención tan personalizada y la dueña siempre al pendiente de sus clientes. Me encanto , lo recomiendo al 100%

Christmas Day 2016, we had booked a table at the Shiraz and found the hand written notice to go across the road, which we did, to the Taj. Menu was extensive and different, with range of street food. Everything we had was delicious, to the heat level we had requested. Chef and staff were extremely welcoming and willing to chat; they had stayed open, considering not doing so as it was Christmas Day, and we are so grateful that they did. Will definitely return next trip to Newcastle.

Bought a Groupon voucher a few months ago, we were the first people in but it soon filled up. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Meal was lovely, bottle of house wine £10 what more could you want. We will definitely be going back.

The food was excellant. Had the fish masalla to start then the Lamb Jalfrezi. The Lamb was extremely tender and the peshwari nan was fantastic with lots of filling. All 7 of us agreed the food was great.

Booked a table about 3 weeks in advance, turned up, hand written notice on the door that it was closed and they recommended the restaurant over the road, so we went to one around the corner!!

The food was very nice, portion size ample, decor pleasant, staff very friendly and informative, a good selection of indian cuisine, next time we are in Newcastle we will be back

My sister and I visited Shiraz tonight after we found a voucher on What's On Newcastle. The voucher was £10 and allowed us to buy up to £25 worth of starters and mains. We were greeted at the door and immediately shown to our seats. The restraint is lovely and clean and decorated very nicely. Our orders were promptly taken and our drinks and food arrived in superb timing. The food itself was absolutely delicious, we each ordered a poppadoms and pickles, a starter and main each with a Naan, rice and chips. We could not pick a single fault at all with our food and it really was excellent value for money too! Upon leaving we were given a 50% off voucher which is valid for up to 8 people and has no expiry date, we thought this was a lovely touch and will definitely be returning to use it with some of our family. Absolutely gorgeous Indian food, fab service in a lovely little hidden gem in Newcastle.

My wife and I came here for a meal while in town. I've been a few times before with a mate. It is consistently good - friendly, efficient staff, tasty food and you rarely have to wait to be seated. I like the fact that it is Indian owned unlike nearly every other 'Indian' restaurant in town which are actually Bangladeshi. Some of the reviews on here are unrecognisable from the restaurant I know and it makes me wonder whether there is some skulduggery going on. We had a curry each and shared a nut pilau with Bombay potatoes and a peshwari nan - delicious

Myself, husband and friends visited last night. Gorgeous food and exceptional hospitality. Would definitely recommend this lovely Indian restaurant.

My husband and I ate here on Thursday at 5.45 pm. There were just us and a family of 3 in the restaurant but as it was early I wasn't surprised. We could not fault the food it was delicious and plentiful and very reasonably priced. The staff were pleasant and attentive so we will definitely go back again.

Most enjoyable experience! Right in the heart of the Bigg Market but very easy to miss this restaurant is a gem! Very friendly professional staff and delicious authentic food, it was very busy outside with the usual Saturday night Bigg Market crowd but inside this restaurant was like an oasis of calm, we were seated promptly and didn't have to wait very long for our food, which was absolutely delicious and great value for money, we will definitely return again soon, thank you to all the staff for a wonderful evening

We were in Newcastle on a lads weekend away. In the mood for curry and beer I looked for the closest curry house to where we were and booked to avoid not getting a table (as recommended on the website). Big mistake, poor service from the off as waitresses seemed more worried about their phones. You'd of thought the service would of been good considering we were the only table in! The food was actually ok but what really let this place down was the staff, atmosphere and general cleanliness of the place. There was no toilet roll, no hand towels, the hand drier didn't work and the toilets were generally very dirty. We told the waitress but she said it wasn't her job and apologised! Not one to complain but we raised our concerns to the manager who appeared as we were about to pay... Her excuse was 'they'd been very busy early on'... I somehow doubt that's ever the case. Avoid.

Two couples on a trip to the city hall to see ABC. Googled the nearest Indian and it led us here. No one else in the place at 11pm on Saturday. Place looks run down. We ordered starters and the dish for the spiced onions was filthy and sticky on the outside. The main courses were worse. Three different chicken dishes but obviously they just drop tasteless chunks into different sauces to order. No marinades here! The nan was also repulsive. The girls didn't even take the after eight they were so disgusted. I did, to counter the taste of the food. Avoid like the plague. As we were leaving late night revellers were arriving and I guess these are the less discerning guests that enable this shabby and shoddy place to stay in business.

visited here on Saturday with 2 friends. Our first visit. There was only a couple of customers in , we ordered food and I have to say it was beautiful, well presented and the staff were very friendly . I was surprised to read negative comments from other customers. I can only give my review from my experience.

We were shopping in Newcastle and have visited a number of Indians in the city in the past but decided to give Shiraz a try for a change but would think twice about a 2nd visit.The food and service was OK but at 8pm on Friday evening we were the only two customers in the place!!! The lack of atmosphere made our meal an uncomfortabe experience. I would wonder why the lack of customers. There has to be a reason.

A little quiet ,but we were there early,but well looked after staff attentive ,a nice establishment,will visit again

A very personable The atmosphere and general feeling of the restaurant is excellent and the food is delicious. Good portion sizes and would highly recommend. Will come again.

Quiet restaurant that's hidden away at Bigmarket. Voucher was given by a friend who didn't want to go and now I know why. Table cloth was dirty upon seated and customer service was not good at all. Ordered a bottle of wine which was put on the table and we had to pour out ourselves. Voucher was for a two course meal. Manager was aware and didn't advise what was included and what wasn't. She took the order for two main courses followed by deserts. Main meals were bland. When we came to pay the manager advised that the voucher was for the starters and main meals only and asked why we didn't have starters. She did know upon ordering that starters were not ordered. We had to pay for the deserts, rice, nan bread and drinks. The bill came to a high amount considering we had a voucher to use for the main course. Manager provided a 50% off total bill or our next visit. We won't be going back there.

Friday night, 7pm table booked, lovely welcome, service excellent and food exceptional... will definitely return and would strongly recommend... good value too

First visited this restaurant on a Groupon deal and we were so impressed we decided to visit again with a friend. Once again the staff were friendly and attentive and the food as delicious as ever. We each chose something different from a menu of authentic Indian dishes which we shared. Portions are generous and prices very reasonable for this quality of food.Looking forward to our next visit

Quiet restaurant that's hard to find. Voucher was given by a friend who didn't want to go and now I know why. Table cloth was dirty upon seated and customer service not great. Ordered bottle of wine was put on the table and had to be poured out ourselves. Got a voucher for a 2 course meal which manager was aware of but did not provide information on what was included and not included. Ordered main which was bland and followed by desert which were and when we came to pay the manager advised that voucher is for a starter and main meal only. We paid for the deserts, rice, nan bread and drinks and the bill was unreasonably high. Manager provided a 50% discount for next bill. We won't be going back.

I have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions with partner, friends and family and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly and helpful especially as I am visually impaired. The restaurant is quite dark but I always get a table where the best light is. My family love it here and with the taste card up to 8 people can get 50 per cent off the food bill, highly recommend Shiraz.

There are so many things wrong with this place. Bad atmosphere and ambiance, dirty plates, awful toilets, and the curries we chose didn't taste like any we had eaten before. The main problem was paying. We had a groupon voucher for £50 and they wouldn't accept it. Said only starters and mains were included - popadoms, rice and naan were not part of this. So we were meant to eat the curry by itself? Really? A below average curry meal for two came to £55. The staff were unhelpful and I feel like I was scammed. Please go somewhere else.

Checked the Shiraz website all looked good for a night out from work. Was prompted to book as the website claimed only a few tables available. Big surprise to find the restaurant empty and were the only table in use throughout our meal. Ordered from the early bird menu as advertised on the webpage which was slightly misleading as it gave the impression of a starter, main, rice and nan for £9.95...not the case was choice of rice or nan. The lighting was very dim turned out there was trouble with electric, food was tasty but lacked heat, tamest Madras and Jalfrezi I've ever tasted. Halfway through the the meal the ceiling started leak with water....constant drip into a bucket for he remainder of the meal. Beer was warm, bill was hand written, hand drier in loo not working. Clearly the resturaunt should have been closed if the power had failed.

Me and my boyfriend turned up on a Friday night and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We walked up the stairs to find a man lying down on the sofa relaxing with his laptop, made us feel like we'd accidentally walked into somebodies living room! Food was okay, but the place wasn't clean, including the cutlery and plates. The atmosphere was really bad, with rude staff and music being played out of somebodies phone. Eventually another couple turned up and we weren't alone in the restaurant, only for them to also have a poor service and ended up making a complain to the owner - who was having none of it. Wouldn't show up here again.

We have visited here on a number of occasions and the food is always good and the service is great. Portions are really good and you will never feel hungry and the house wine is great value. Great location in the city centre so ideal to have a few drinks after or before.

We went as a group of 5 and all of the curries were flavoursome. It was my first time and I had a vindaloo which was tasty. All courses arrived quickly and the staff were friendly. Good value for money with the Taste card that we used.

Went last night and was pleasantly surprised. The menu was very good with some excellent special dishes. The service was quick and efficient and the food was excellent. Pretty good value for money but if your going with your taste card you get 25% off the bill rather than the 2 for 1 advertised. Having said that the meal was well worth it anyway. With so much choice of Indian restaurants it can be difficult to decide where to go, but choose Shiraz and you will get a good meal.

Went last night with a groupon. Staff were so friendly and helpfull nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing. Also prices very reasonable will definitely be going again.

We go here every Friday and the food is absolutely delicious. Great service and the staff are always friendly and happy to help all the time. Definately a must if you like indian food

One of my favourite places to visit in Newcastle, always return whenever I can! Tasty food well priced and great service.

Visited for the second year running as in Newcastle for the Rugby League magic event. Again we arrived in a large group and took advantage of the early bird meal.We ordered poppadoms, starter, main, rice or nann for the very good price of £9.95. All the food was fantastic and as ordered, the staff are very attentive and give great service.We ordered as a large group so I sampled plenty of the curry meals as we all shared, really recommend the chicken chat starter and chicken tikka madras or vindaloo as a main, really fiery. All in all we as a large group we had plenty of drinks to accompany the set menu and only paid just over £22, including tip, each for a great end to our weekend.Really recommend and will be back next time in the area.

Service excellent food great lovely atmosphere.we had table for 5 and the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you. Will definitely go back in the near future. Great value, drinks and food only £82 with our taste discount card.

Upon entering the restaurant the staff was welcoming and showed us to our table. We ordered a mixed meat platter which was very tasty and good value for money.

Random visit to Newcastle with a friend, really great staff and stunning food! Would definitely recommend to others.

Booked table in advance and requested fast service as we were going to the Theatre Royal. This they did and they were extremely attentive. We shared starters and mains and we all agreed the food was absolutely delicious and excellent value

Really enjoyed our meal here, the food was delicious and all such a reasonable price (as was the alcohol!) We got more than our moneys worth. Really lovely service and was very quick, will definitely be going back soon!

1st time visit with my wife and young daughter, fantastic quality and quality. The portions very ample also best indian food for miles xxxxxxxxxxwe will be back soon !!!!!!!!

Nice warm plates, this makes all the difference to yr meal, reasonably priced, tasty hot food, nice house red wine, quick service, pleasant staff, what more can you say, 2nd visit and just as good as the first, will definately be going back, got handed a 50% voucher for deduction off next meal.

Originally bought a Groupon voucher for £10 for £25 worth of food (starters and main course, drinks, rice and desert extra. For starters we had prawn bhuna and chicken tikka, both absolutely gorgeous as well as main courses lamb madras and lamb korma. Rice portion was enough to share between 2 people. We paid for 2 poppadoms which in other restaurants you get complementary and chapati bread which tasted device. Drinks were town prices so additionally charges were £24 but entirely worth it. The staff were friendly and professional and they also gave us a 50% off voucher for food next visit, explaining there was no expiry date and valid for 1 table. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family and will definitely be going again. My boyfriend and I have had another Indian Groupon meal across the road, similar price but this was so much better.

Went here with my brother around 12:30am for a late night Indians. It was beautiful. I got the lamb bhuna with a keema naan. Food was cooked perfectly and the naan gave Akbars "elephant ear naans" a run for their money. A definite must go. Also it's one of the only Indians open in town really late.Staff are really friendly too.

Just love the food at this place. So much choice and very reasonable prices. Everyone is so friendly it's like coming home every time we visit.

I dont understand why people underrated this restaurant. I have been there many times, ok the interior design is not perfect but the food is priceless!!! Today l ordered chicken tikka masala and korma (they are perfect!) to home and they even sent me a free wine! Poppadoms and dips are also free and so tasty! You cannot find this quality of Indian food in such a reasonable price in any other restaurant in Newcastle. I and my friends absolutely love it!

Should maybe have known that it wouldn't be much good as we were the only table of people at 8pm on a Saturday evening! Starters were ok but main dishes were awful, every one. They gave us the wrong wine and would not have it, even though everyone on the table knew it was wrong. Most horrendous was the gents toilets, my partner took photos of how bad they were and there was a handwritten note on the gents door basically saying 'if you need more than a number 1 you will need to ask management!'Staff were surly and disinterested.

Staff lovely greeted and cared for well throughout the evening Group on redeemed and additional price paid for wine and rice but was a good dealFood delicious Bhuna prawn on a beautiful purée followed by Korma and Jal freziRestaurant a little cold but would warm up with a few nice customers Give it a try ban bread the best I have tasted in a long time and we are Indian food lovers

I visited the Shiraz last year & loved it, we thought we would go again as we had a Groupon.From the outside its not good, just don't look run up the stairs.The service is good, really good-well done.The food tasted nice, ........there is a but at the end of my review.The price is good really good.The toilets are.......go somewhere else before you run up the stairs.FOOD, I had the runs when I got home & my wife the following day, we have since checked out the food hygiene rating was 1! It's such a shame because it was good.

Ordered a mixed vegetable pakora which was so hard it was almost impossible to eat. Main course of Malai Kofta was a bad choice as it came in a pink semolina type sauce that was almost sweet. However the Achari Ghost, which we have had twice before and enjoyed, was unspectacular and lacked flavour.The service was patchy as well. I don't think we'll be going back.

...this would be an Ok place to eat. Arriving dry, I did not have that experience. After some consultation (we both wanted something hot) I had the Karahi Prawn and my partner had the South Indian chilli chicken. Wow! We have both cooked better interpretations at home. It was midweek but I can't help but feel cheated of an amazing curry experience, which is what Shiraz offers.

we were greeted and shown to a table, the waitress was quick to take our order and pleasant in manner, extras given while waiting for starter ordered and then main course was quickly followed - excellent food all round

My partner and I got a groupon which included 2 starters and 2 main meals for £10, we have had a lovely meal it was very tasty and the people were friendly and polite- especially Florina the waitress that served us. Excellent value for money, only paying an excess of £11.80 for drinks, a portion of rice and a garlic naan ontop, costing only £22.80 in total- we will 100% be back! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Unclean, overpriced, bad customer service, standard food, dry meat, wine like vinegar. We only went after receiving a Groupon offer as a gift - wish we hadn't having checked afterwards that the hygiene rating is only a 1!!! Having had a bog standard overpriced meal I went to the toilet....They were disgusting to say the least one was out of order with bloody water and toilet roll in and other toilet had a large poo floating it in!! They were disgusting!Avoid this place- there is so many better Indian restaurants in Newcastle with excellent food and reasonable prices.

My husband and I popped into Shiraz on Saturday night, we didn't have a reservation but were shown to a table straightaway by very welcoming staff. We hadn't been there for a couple of months but the service and the food were excellent as we have always found. Our food was served promptly and was very tasty. Food was complimented by a lovely bottle of white house wine. We will definitely return and won't leave it too long before our next visit. thanks againMr and Mrs Ogilvie

This is an unremarkable Indian restaurant in the heart of Newcastle. The food was ok but there did not appear to be much difference in taste between the prawn jalfrezi or the prawn bhuna. The Chicken Madras was quite bland. The decor is modern.

The service here was terrible and to start off the meal we found 2 hairs on the table. There wasn't a plate or knives and forks on my side of the table so the waitress just chucked my cutlery in front of me. To top this off, the waitress carried on being rude throughout talking to us as though we were stupid. The food was awful, everything about this was awful and would not recommend this to my worst enemy .

Truly tragic. I stupidly chose to come to this tragic place because I recently purchased a taste card and it had a 241 offer. As I was walked to my table, the restaurant felt bare with only one other seating - for this i am not surprised. prime time Friday night and no one to be seen, shocking? not after this meal. I can tell you now, after my popadoms were broken into pieces by the rude waitress just plonking the garlic naan on top of it, i was in shock. The sheer attitude from the waitress shocked me and my friends. The food was average. I had to pay double for a drink that tasted like cheap chemical fake cola... not coke like i asked for! The rice was 100% microwaved, tasted of water and also had a chemical smell to it. I couldn't believe the taste of the korma... unbearable! The only positive was the chicken tikka, and even that wasn't that nice. I actually forgot how bad the drink was when I tasted the korma sauce. Disgusting. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, and will 100% not be returning.

Excellent service felt very welcome. Service was quick. The shami kebab was the best iv ever had in a very long time so fresh and tasty. Lamb chop starter was also very tasty. Curries were slightly too sweet for my taste but still freshly made and tasty, Maybe we should have asked for more spice as too mild for what we like. We would recommend this Restaurant and we will return

The food was amazing, I don't like my food too spicy and when I told the waitress this she explained everything was cooked to order so this wouldn't be a problem, they would cater to my tastes, and I wasn't disappointed. Had garlic nan which wasn't short of garlic unlike other restaurants. The atmosphere was perfect, well lit without been too bright. Used my tastecard so worked out at only £24 for 2 of us with drinks. Staff were friendly and chatty. Overall a great experience A**

Service good nice and clean but main thing curry wasn't good . Thought it was powdery my wife hated hers . Wouldn't return

Food was better than average. Service was exceptional. Staff is quite eager to ensure you are happy and that you plan to return. There were 4 of us each ordering a different curry, rice and nan. Everyone was well pleased with their food.

Been twice with a Groupon for two people. Both times at 6 p.m. We had a different choice of food on both occasions. The food was delicious and thee was plenty of it. They even made me some Indian ice-cream. We found the service quick and friendly. We will return.

Visited here as part of a pre booked Stag weekend on Sat 25th.There were six of us in the party, the food was hot and tasted good.We got six starters, these arrived very quickly, tasted good and were hot.Followed by six main courses, again arrived quick and were tasty and hot.The overall experience was good, the only thing that let it down was the speed at which our plates etc were whisked away, we had no sooner finished eating an the plates and serving dishes were removed from the table. This gave the impression that the staff wanted you out of the venue.I asked a staff member what an item was on the dish, she replied that she did not know and walked away.I would probably go back again, as I said the place is nothing special and the food is OK.

I was with the group of 11 that visited last Saturday. When we walked in there were only a few people in so we thought we'd get served no bother. They brought out poppadoms and dips right away so I thought that was a fab start but I couldn't have been more wrong. Only 9 of us were having a starter but they took over 45 mins to come and every time we asked each of the waitresses where the food was they just looked and grinned inanely (or should that be insanely?) at us. When they eventually came they were nothing special. I had the butterfly prawn(s) (there was one prawn butterflied so the dish should be called butterfly prawn!! So starters done and onto the main course. We waited another age for these.... 9 of us had ordered garlic naan breads but only 6 were brought out. We protested but we were told that we definitely ordered 6 and we did a show of hands to confirm that 9 of us did actually order but they weren't bothered.... Anyway when at last they did appear we thought our mains would soon follow. They didn't. The main courses were brought out very slowly one by one and by the time the first one arrived the naans had started to go rubbery. Mine was the wrong dish!! I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala but was brought Chicken Tikka. I must admit this was soon rectified though but the main courses were all generally terrible. My sauce was okay but the Chicken was dry, tough and overcooked. One of our party wandered into the kitchen (we were sat next to it) as she thought that lead to the loos only to find the chef with a bottle of beer in his hand!! Our birthday girl asked for separate bills so when the waitress did them she took all our names and orders individually but when they came they were all wrong. Most of us had the £9.95 special but the bills were full price and those who had ordered the invisible naans had been charged too. After a bit of a conflab with the manageress we agreed we'd pay half price. One of the girls didn't pay a penny because she didn't touch her food. The manager did apologise and she said that normally the food is amazing and the reason it wasn't is because the normal chef is off sick at the mo and they've had to get a temp in!! If that's the case then they need to replace him and the discourteous waiting staff pronto. She asked us to return in a few weeks and promised us it would be fantastic but surely it should've been fantastic last week also?...

Popped in for a meal on the 8th of July. Service was good and the food was reasonably priced and tasty. Couldn't finish my meal as the portion was a little on the large side. Decent food at a good price.

Absolutely disgusting.... There were 11 of us, we waited around 45 minutes just for the starters to arrive despite having complained at least 5 times to the waitresses (who were useless and just looked at you like you were stupid) what made it worse was there was another big party in and they only waited 10 minutes for there starters. When they did arrive they were average. We then waited an eternity for the main meals to arrive at which point I'd had enough and complained to the manager, as doing so they brought the plates out we then waited another 5 minutes for the food to arrive in drips and drabs. However the main meals were disgusting at least 2 of the party didn't eat any and the rest of us left over half. They got the bills wrong too. The service matched the food. The toilets could also do with a hygiene inspection
