The Magna Tandoori in Northumberland

This is without doubt the friendliest restaurant in Northumberland. The Khan brothers pride themselves on their attentive service and treat guests as if they were family. You will be served wonderful food from the most wonderful staff. The Khan brothers have been commended for their benevolence and their support of those in need. We are privileged to have this business in our town. Steve

Great staff and somehow even better food Never fails to provide great dishes and service Need to steal their chicken kurma recipe somehow!

Authentic decor, great tasting food, restaurant was lovely and warm. The staff were very attentive, reasonable price.

I always feels fine eating at the Magna Tandoori. The food is very good and the service friendly and efficient. I always come back.

The staff are amazing and really attentive, the tandoori chicken was top notch, will definitely be visiting again soon!!!

Had a great family meal here, my wife said her Lamb Roghan was the best she has had.

Very good food and a nice atmosphere. Quick service, although it was busy. The waiters explained the menu for non-connoisseurs of the Indian cuisine.

First time visiting while we were on holiday in the area. Absolutely amazing quality food, full of flavour, and the portion sizes were just right. Was stuffed when we had finished. Very reasonable prices aswell. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area and look forward to coming back in the near future.

Went last night and really didn’t enjoy it. I’ve got to start by saying I’ve had so many curries in Yorkshire in authentic, fantastic restaurants that I’ve been a bit spoilt but I felt this wasn’t even average. It all started when I called to book a table and that didn’t go well. We turned up and were sat in a corner in a dark room which was a bit strange looking. The only thing I could smell was burnt food. My starter was poorly presented and the wooden platter the plate was on left grease all over the table when it was cleared away, so much so I had to clean the table with my napkin. Our main dishes weren’t much better. My other half had the chicken masala which came out covered in a red sauce which looked radioactive. It was laden with sugar and coconut. My lamb was chewy and dry. Very much over done, and was served on a sizzling skillet…. There was so much hissing and smoke coming from it, the guy at the next table asked if I needed a fire extinguisher!! This morning I found my hat and coat which were over the chair to my right in the restaurant were stained from all the grease that was flung up in the steam and our clothes were stinking. The rice was quite nice, the naan not bad but the chips were poor, just cheap frozen catering chips. All in all we felt that we should have tried the other curry house in the town. We will go back to Berwick but sadly we will not return to the Magna. Oh… let end on a positive. The toilets were nipping clean. Seriously, they must be about the best facilities I’ve seen in a curry house in a long time.

Enjoyed the fixed price lunch there. Great service and good food.

The best onion bhajis I have ever had I even went back and ordered some for takeaway

Delicious food, great value, and welcoming staff. I came back again the following day, and had a nice chat with the waiter Suleiman!

After telephoning for a takeaway to it to be collected at 6:30 pm I arrived promptly to pick the meal up . When I got home which was no more than five minutes away , I found that the meal was Luke warm , the onion bhajis were the worst I have ever eaten, cold and the rest of the meal was not much better. I suspect that it had been prepared much earlier than the arranged pick up time as it was on the counter in a carrier bag ready for collection. To say I was disappointed is an understatement and I will never give the restaurant my business again.

Brilliant Food as always. Very professional staff and brilliant atmosphere. Will be back time and time again. Fab food!

The staff were friendly and the food was lovely worth a visit

Service was terrible 30 minutes for food order to be taken, 20 minutes wait for the drinks, food was not great, to busy with take away orders will not go back

Fabulous restauraunt. Just what you want from an Indian - very knowledgeable and able to cater for any dietry requirements or alterations to dishes. Very nice inside and plenty of seating, and easy to park close by. Curries are full of flavour, just what you expect - the Vindaloo was properly hot!

We often get takeaways from here but thought it would be nice to sit in for a change in the holidays. It was a nice atmosphere, the staff were friendly and it was really good service. The food was amazing and will definitely be back soon. We are very lucky to have this restaurant in our town. Would highly recommend

The food was great, really enjoyed it. Don't normally have starter and main but glad we did as potion size was on the small size. But having said that it was all very scummy £60 bill , 2 starters 2 mains 1 nan and a bottle of wine 😍

We had a lovely meal, the restaurant was not noisy like others in the area are. One member of the staff advised us on what might suit us. We are booking to go back before our holiday ends.

My wife and I have been holidaying in Berwick for many years. We have visited Magna Tandoori several times for lunch and I am afraid we will not be back. I ordered chicken pakora as a starter and it was not good, large pieces of batter with very little chicken.

Akber and the team were truly attentive which made our dining experience exceptional. The cookery of all the dishes is fantastic and made this restaurant a hidden gem especially in a coastal town where there is not much happening. We loved it so much that we went back twice in two days in a row during our visit. Highly recommend!

I had three veggie side dishes as I’m vegetarian but they were not very tasty. The curried vegetables seem to be mainly cabbage. Not very imaginative.

Affordable. Relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff. Good food. Food was served really quickly. Good sized portions. There were 3 of us (average sized females), and we shared a curry, a kurma, 2 types of rice, and 2 pieces of bread (a naan and a parata) and we struggled to finish the food. Good experience all in all.

Akber was amazing, food was incredible, great atmosphere and the service was great!!!! Would highly recommend this place.

Amazing service! Akbar is the kindest server I have ever encountered Food is unreal also

Absolutely superb in every way. This restaurant is a visual delight, only surpassed by the wonderful food and the impeccable service. We have been dining here for many years and are always welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. Beautiful restaurant run by beautiful people. 💕

A lovely restaurant serving great food. We had a range of dishes which were all lovely. They were very accommodating of a dairy intolerance and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Solyman Khan was a great waiter; very polite and friendly. A great experience. J

First time here and won’t be the last. Lots of different foods ordered, all eaten, very tasty. Really enjoyed our meal. Will definitely be back

I had an amazing dinner when out with some friends. Akbar was incredible and the food was top tier, like always. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and great portions. Excellent service from Soloman and Ollie. Poppies were especially delicious

My favourite place to go. Any time I get a takeout it has to be here. Good on price and have been amazing throughout lockdown donating meals ect. Would highly recommend. Best around.

Set meal A perfect for two people sharing

Excellent food, excellent service, very nice staff.

Please, try this place. I absolutely loved it. The most tender chicken and lamb for Andrea. I had the King Prawns, easy to overcook, but they were brilliant. Staff love a chat and and laugh. The Bombay Cycle IPA is hidden away, ask for it, it is a great accompaniment to the food. Thanks Guys. Ace.

Food was excellent here, no waiting had table right away.

Quickest service I've had in a long time, and the food was perfectly cooked, seasoned and presented on the plate.

Excellent service and staff so friendly. We love our takeaways also a fantastic table service

Excellent service, very friendly with a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back again

Four of us went for a meal on the spur of the moment, I must say it turned out to be an excellent decision. The service was excellent and our waiter was very helpful. We all really enjoyed our meals and would recommend the lamb Rogan josh.

Really good food, service and atmosphere. One of the top restaurants I've visited

The meal and drinks today were amazing, highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing, banging food, having service. All round perfect. Thank you Sulamon!

Great food and the staff were excellent, explaining all Vegan options for my partner

We're from London and this is the best Indian we've had in a very long time! Portions are huge!! Sulomon was so attentive and made sure we had a great experience.

Ordered 2 takeaways for delivery. Staff were polite on the phone, food delivered within less than an hour. Food was delicious, nice portion size and good value for money.

Wonderful restaurant, would highly recommend! All of the food ordered was delicious and came quickly. Exceptional service, very friendly and attentive. Added bonus the bathrooms are very clean and decor is so cool.

Best Indian take away by far. And we love our Indian food they went above and beyond to accommodate the fast we are miles away and still delivered to us. We will be back as often as we can

The meal was exceptional from beginning to end. Quick and efficient service, even as a group of 9, and we never felt rushed. Our server was friendly and attentive. But best of all: the food. Every dish our family ordered was different and delicious in its own way. I would give it 10 stars if I could. The only downside I can find is that I live in another country, so I may never get a chance to come back. But if I'm ever nearby again by chance, I will make a point to revisit!

My favourite curry house. Food, service and atmosphere are always top notch and the staff go above and beyond to ensure a great night is had by all. If you’re looking for a take away, a place to get the whole family together or a cosy date night, Magna has you covered and then some!

We were so happy to find such a wonderful Indian restaurant! This is a perfect place to go if you are vegetarian or not! The curries were excellent! I had the vegetable chaat and it was my favorite! The service was prompt and careful. We felt very well taken care of.

Had a great meal here tonight in what is clearly a popular place. What I really liked however is how helpful the team were regarding vegan options, they can do pretty much most reasonable dishes suitable for vegans, I had vgn bhuna which was excellent, wife had Taka Dal , also amazing. Will come back for sure

Another Great meal tonight, faultless! 😋

Best Indian restaurant around never disappoints food always amazing and a very fast good service would highly recommend

Amazing service amazing food as always

Amazing food and service! Found my new favourite restaurant.

Enjoyable evening of good Nadine food. We had the set menu for 2 C, which was varied and tasty. Service was on point, value solid. Recommend !

We had a fantastic evening meal today, I can strongly recommend The Magna Tandoori. I had a venison Naga with plain boiled rice, and my partner had a vegetarian biryani. The onion bhajis were fabulous! Service was prompt, professional, and friendly, with an attentive waiter who genuinely wanted the best for us. We will definitely dine here again, the next time we visit Berwick.

An early takeaway, not that the time should make any difference to quality of food. On a short break, takeaway on last night……Awful!! Hard, cold onion bhajis, dry, cold, crispy Nan???!!! Pretty sure chicken precooked. We are sure we got yesterday’s starters. The food was ready less than 20 minutes after my husband ordered, not long enough to be freshly cooked. So glad we can return to the outstanding curries we get in Yorkshire!

Excellent food, friendly service, never disappoints.

Came in on a Saturday Evening, it was busy, but everyone got seated quite quickly. I ordered the onion bhaji as a starter,the portions were massive, and the food was amazing.I ordered a Chicken Biryani as the main and some pilaw rice alongside with the rest of my family and we were continually surprised by the quality of the food. I also love the decorations! Happy this was my first experience of an Indian Restaurant. Definitely coming again.

Absolutely bloomin great Indian food. If you like garlic I recommend one of the garlic dishes because they bloomin taste like garlic. Brilliant stuff 👏 🇮🇳

Bought food for takeaway to our holiday accommodation. Returned to this place after enjoying it last year. Fresh, packed with flavour and a good selection to choose from. Definitely recommend.

Came here for a meal with some friends and we had a great time. Great food and brilliant service as always! Very clean and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Well what can I say!!! Another amazing meal, service was brilliant staff were very attentive polite and smartly dressed Would recommend a visit you will not be disappointed. Well done.

Went early evening and it was a Tuesday so little quiet But the curry was jolly good

The best place for a curry in Berwick upon Tweed! We visit every time we’re here. Fantastic service and delicious food

The fusion dish was delicious sand the jumbo prawns were really jumbo. Service was excellent.

The fusion dish was amazing. I will rave about this for a long time. My husband had very large jump prawns which were impressive.

Great food and excellent service

I use this restaurant regularly, mostly for take outs. Always good service from staff and the owner. The food is always delicious. I have food intolerances and the staff go out if their way to make sure that I am catered for

Visited here mid-Feb, and was rather disappointed given the other reviews. It is a magnificent venue, with great decor. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was quick, perhaps even a bit quick at places . The food though, let much to be desired. While hot and well presented, the meat content was sadly lacking and the dish padded with winter brown onions, which were largely raw and inedible. Small rice portions Even the saag aloo was short on spinach. The butter chicken was a disgrace := pretty much thin chicken bits, like you get on a sandwich, doused in what looked like a cheap jar of sauce.

The poppadoms were good. The rest of the meal was horrible, everything was the same beige colour and tasted awful. £8 for a Diet Coke and a 0% beer that took 15 mins from ordering to arrive. Waiter seemed shocked when we asked for plates to put our main courses on, seems we were expected to heap it all onto the plate the rice has arrived on. More expensive than very good 2 course lunches with drinks in other restaurants in Berwick and Alnwick.

The foods been amazing here for as long as I have been alive. You’re made to feel apart of the family which makes this a special place to dine. The Magna Tandoori is my happy place! Thank you Cam W

Lovely meal out to celebrate a mates 30th! Food thoroughly enjoyed and great atmosphere! Thanks to Suleman for looking after us!

I think this is by far the worst Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. The decor is beyond tacky, which should have been the first red flag, but my experience told me that the gaudier a place looks, the better the food usually. Not the case. How do you mess up something as simple as a butter paneer or Daal? The mains were completely flavourless, the pilau just tasted boiled, the sauce for the butter chicken had about half a bag of sugar dumped in it and was almost inedible. Service was off, I think the servers just came off as disinterested and strangely intense at times. One half hearted attempt at a conversation was very quickly abandoned in a very awkward way. Now I’m not saying a server should smile or talk to customers, I know I don’t want to a lot of the time when I’m waitering, but if you’re going to ask a customer about their day, when they tell you about it don’t just say ‘right’ and wander off? Anyway it was kind of entering so bad it’s good territory because the whole experience was comically terrible. Did I pay for the whole thing? Did I say ‘yeah it was great’ when asked how the food was? You’re damn right I did. Because I’m terminally British and I refuse to express my true feelings to anyone and only do it behind their backs or on the internet where I can be semi-anonymous. The only thing I loathe more than the food here is myself.

Always a pleasure visiting my home town no.1 Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant. Have been coming here for over 40 years.

Excellent restaurant. Great food, good service and extremely friendly staff.

My wife and I have eaten at the Magna at least once a week over the last few months. The food is excellent, the restaurant has high standards of cleanliness and very friendly staff. Overall, a really good experience. Highly recommended!

Lovely food had lamb dhansak was very tasty

Lovely building, lovely staff and lovely food. We ended up going for the set meal and my wife ended up taking the rest of her meal back home as the portions were that big. Would happily go there again

Visited Berwick one mid week evening so popped in. Great service and menue. Ordered prawn dansak, chicken rogan, naan and okra with boiled rice. All absolutely stunning. Tasty and very little grease. Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant, service very good and food delicious. We go here most Friday nights and are never disappointed it is always a wonderful culinary delight!

Excellent meal here. Food and service were exceptional. A real gem in Berwick-upon-Tweed and a mist visit for everyone!

Came here for a meal with some friends and we had a great time. Great food and brilliant service as always! Very clean and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Have eaten in a few times and had takeaways too. Magna is a local institution and always a happy experience. Now a family favourite for us. Reliably competent food and service. Good value. Looking forward to next time.....

The staff were great and very pleasant. The food arrived piping hot and the Lamb Bhuna was absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend and is by far the best Indian restaurant in Berwick!

The food was gorgeous and well priced too. The service was fast and friendly !!

Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday meal and I honestly couldn’t fault anything, the food was beyond amazing, the staff were so lovely and the overall decor and atmosphere in the premises was spot on! Would highly recommend and will definitely come back 😋

We visited late on a Saturday night (about 8.15pm) and we're welcomed in enthusiasticaly. Great selection of dishes on offer and despite being late in the evening no rush to order. We ordered a curry, rice, nann and bahji each and oh my goodness. It arrived quickly and the portions were large, beauifully presented and most importantly absolutely delicious. We could not finish it all and were offered take out pots to take it home in, which we gladly did. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The staff were polite helpful and a young lady offered to take a photo of us which was very kind. The price of the food was average for a Indian meal but the quality of the floor was excellent. We shall definitely be visiting again soon.

Perfect place for a nice meal out with the family, the food was amazing, really friendly staff and quick service! Will be visiting again.

Heard brilliant reviews about this place so decided to visit for evening meal with my family. First thing I noticed was the cutlery on our table was dirty. Next the coke and diet coke were served from a plastic bottle which had already been opened and was flat..... paid £5.00 per glass..... My son ordered a water , he won't drink from a glass so was happy when they brought him a glass bottle (1 litre). The seal had already been broken and the water was luke warm it tasted like it was from the tap. Unfortunately he couldn't bring himself to drink it. We were charged £4.50 for the water which is daylight robbery if you ask me. The food wasn't the best Indian food we have tasted. Don't think we will be back again.

We had chicken pakora and then a chicken korma we always get the same as we know that we like it. The pakora was very greasy was not a fan and the chicken korma curry was very sweet it jus wasnt enjoyable, even the cheese and garlic naan was burt in some parts amd raw at others. For us we will be sticking on going to the Indian in coldstream the rajdhani spice there Indians is fabulous.

Ordered a takeaway from Magna for the first time, it was absolutely fabulous, beautiful tender chicken, one of the best curries I've ever tasted. Staff really helpful too, I will definitely be back 🙂

We ordered chicken naga,cheesy nan, keema nan and fried rice . Worth for money and authentic taste .

The best Indian restaurant and takeout in Berwick Very tasty food large portions for the price. Highly Recommended

A brilliant restaurant with a friendly staff and delicious food both sitting in or takeaway

We visited for the first time and on entering, the place was very busy. We were shown to our table, which was in a bank of six place settings, which for a couple, was a little off putting. The menu was extensive and we ordered a number of items. The food, when it arrived, was very good indeed, the staff were very friendly and attentive. The only things that let it down for us were, the noise generated by those who like to hear the sounds of their own voices was very loud, so much so that you couldn’t hear the person sat across from you when you were trying to hold a conversation. Secondly and worst of all, was the disgusting language coming from a large table just behind us. It was uncalled for and didn’t go unnoticed. It was a real shame, as the food was excellent and the staff were great too.

Another fantastic meal at the Magna Tandoori …. Chicken korma, chef special madras with Bombay potatoes, pilau rice and keema nan…. Oh and popadoms and pickles.. thank you Suleman Khan and Oliul Khan Oli… first class 👏👏

Without a doubt the best curry I’ve ever had Highly recommended the murghee masala
