Yuvraaj in Sunderland

Go there every 3 weeks cant be beaten,great curry brilliant staff ,extensive menus,if you can't find something you like have a word with staff and they'll sort you out

Gorgeous food, would highly recommend this restaurant. Staff went the extra mile so we could enjoy the experience in the best way possible. Each staff member was very friendly and attentive, but I’d like to extend a special thankyou to Ruel, who looked after us all night and even offered us all a free shot on the house following our meal.

Amazing food and staff. Highly recommended. First class from start to finish, staff very polite and helpful. Free aperitif is a nice touch

I don’t think I have ever had a bad meal here. It is a family staple for a quick happy hour after work and it never disappoints. The food is beautifully presented, naans are fluffy and flavoursome, and the curries are tasty, although occasionally they can pack an unexpected punch heat wise (I tend to go for the hotter curries). Staff are always pleasant and it is good value for money :-)

Went tonight, first time, Lovely classy restaurant, staff were really friendly food was delicious prices are reasonable well worth a visit would recommend.

Without a doubt the best Indian restaurant in the region. The food is outstanding and aswell as traditional dishes they have an extensive range of contemporary and chef specials. What also makes a huge difference is how friendly and attentive the staff are. They are so welcoming and nothing is an issue. They made our little boy’s 8th birthday tonight so special it’s restaurants like this where you can understand why they have so many regular customers and why you have to book in advance. It’s a must if you haven’t visited already!

Never been before, but saw the good reviews. Had a great night, food was amazing, every one agreed. Staff were lovely, and after issues with pre booked taxis, said if we came back would book taxis for us Will be returning

Came for pre theatre dinner. Service was great and food outstanding! And only £70 for 2 alcoholic drinks. I starter and 2 mains, rice and 2 naans would 100% return

Wanted to experience as never been before. Worst experience I’ve had of any restaurant I’ve been in. Booked well in advance and waited nearly half an hour in a cramped reception area. First 2 Cobras we were served with Lime in them. Can honestly say the food was average. The dining area is cramped and very dated. I half expected to see Ant and Dec pop out at the end of the meal. As for the price. Definitely not worth that amount of money for 2. The waiters serving were very apologetic and to have someone at the end once we had paid the bill to keep on apologising and asking if we would return topped it off.

I continue to sing the praises of Monie and his staff - I was therefore delighted to see that they’ve won the Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year at Nations Curry Awards 2024 - well done, congratulations to you all

Great food, really reasonable price, fabulous staff, really made our birthday celebrations special. Highly recommended

Fabulous venue. This is a must visit venue where amazing food and excellent service is the norm. Private parking on site.

I arrived early in the evening just as they opened and was welcomed and taken to a very nice dining area. I ordered my food and the place began to build up with eager hungry customers and the atmosphere was lovely, especially as I was dining alone as I was in Sunderland for business. I travel the country and like to sample different options when eating in an Indian restaurant. This one is by far the best I have experienced to date and the food is reasonably priced for the delicious food they serve. I tried one of the signature dishes KHOS KHANA MURGH which was basically a full meal on one plate I had beautiful vegetables a mushroom rice and chicken cooked to my specifications with regards spice levels. This restaurant easily accessible and with parking I the centre of Sunderland is a real find and when I am up here for business next I will be making a beeline to eat here again. Thank you

First time me and my wife have been and it was fantastic, I would even say it was the best we have tried, we will definitely be back and certainly recommend.

Absolutely lovely food the madras is possibly the best I have ever had. The service is first class they do not ask if everything is alright to tick a box they ask because they care Lovely and clean Added bonus is an onsite carpark In my opinion the best Indian restaurant in Sunderland and we will definitely return soon

Went straight to the main course and had chicken methi and lamb Lucknow . Both were delicious ... the lamb was lovely and tender.... great service with on site parking. Will definitely go back.

Love this place and the staff. Always quality food and services.Menu has something for everyone and staff are the best with some great characters that know their stuff.

Visited on Tuesday night after coming back from holiday, as ever the staff were attentive, polite and helpful even in the boss’s absence lol! Food was excellent, very tasty and filling. Looking forward to our next in a weeks time

Have visited this establishment a few times. A wide range of dishes on offer and everything I've tried has been delicious. The staff are friendly and it's good vakue for money!

Visited an Indian restaurant in Pickering not recommended. - Moni and his team at Yuvraaj have set the bar very high - had another great meal there tonight with friends - lamb sagwala definitely recommended ( no rice, just nan bread). Enjoy

Wow. Wow. Wow. Where do I start. Where do I stop. This place is something else. The go to place Staff are 100% top guys. Really do go above and beyond. All in all 5 star

Two of us ate here last week. Staff were extremely busy but were polite and friendly.Both my partner and I found the food quite bland. He had the sheek kebab and said that there was no spice. I had the vegetarian treat which i must say looked amazing, there was two types of bhaji and a tikka coloured paneer slice but again it all tasted very plain. The main course portion size was on the small side both of us felt. We decided to try somewhere different for a change but will be sticking to Moti Raj.

Dined at yuvraaj last night, as always the food was superb, the restaurant was full to the brim, the waiting staff were flat out but still provided excellent service, taking time to ensure we had everything we needed. We were unable to get a taxi to take us home so looked like we were walking, to my amazement one of the waiters came out and offered us a ride home in his car, we greatly appreciated that, now thats what you call outstanding service.Thank you

Wow, what can I say? Last night we had the most delicious meal at Yuvraaj Indian restaurant. The food was sensational (as always) & Moni & his lads were perfect hosts for us. Attentive staff & a relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect midweek meal. No wonder you’re rated the best Indian restaurant in Sunderland. I’ve added a few pics of the food which included Grilled King Prawns, Goan Fish, Lamb Karai, Hari Mirch Gusth with tikka chicken, Lamb Dansak & Prawns on Puri. Sundries were great too especially the Peshwari naan bread. If you’ve never tried Yuvraaj Restaurant before, get yourself along to Douro Terrace, you won’t be disappointed.

Delicious meal; beautifully cooked. If you like a good Indian/Bangladeshi meal then look no further than this delightful restaurant. The staff are attentive but not intrusive and the baby-faced owner is an absolute delight. Well worth a visit.

If you want gluten free just ask, they can tell you all the dishes, probably quicker to say what’s not gf. Staff are great, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.Food is gorgeous, I’ve been here loads of times and had various dishes and all have been excellent. Aspall cider in bottles as well.

Been wanting to visit Yuvraaj for a while now, might be the first time but won't be the last, can't wait to go back. Such beautiful food, fresh tasty and presented well. Fantastic friendly service which makes all the difference too, highly recommend this restaurant.

Just had family tea at yuvraaj - food was superb / service was excellent - was our first visit but it certainly won’t be our last

i have visited Yuvraaj regularly over the last few years with different groups of friends and family but only just got round to doing a review.yuvraaj one is my local favourite restaurant, the staff are friendly and cant do enough for you, the food is beautiful, the best nans i have tasted, i can't really fault the place, i have tried every Indian restaurants in and around the Sunderland area over the years but this is number one.

Visited with friends and we all had an excellent night.Very good menu, two of the party are vegetarian but there was plenty of choice. Very good service and like it here because we can actually talk and hear each other without shouting all night ! Perhaps it's an age thing but we have been to some good restaurants but won't return as we can't hear ourselves think. This restaurant may not be as " trendy " as some but if you want excellent food, good service in a lovely place , book a table, you will not be disappointed.

Food was nice but the portion was tiny was more like a kids meal than a main meal. Wasn't worth the money for the size of the portions but food was nice

Visited this restaurant just before Xmas , I have eaten a lot of Indian meals in my time but this was simply one of the best I’ve ever had. Service was also excellent. I will definitely be back soon.

Visited with friends over the new year. Fantastic service and great menu. Highly recommend this restaurant, the best and most authentic Indian cuisine in Sunderland.

My wife and I visited for the first time on a Saturday night. The meal was fabulous as was the service. All the staff could not do enough for you. We will definitely return.

The owner Moni greeted us like old friends - we'd been once before! The enthusiasm he has for the food is infectious, he can tell you all about the recipes. The food itself is fantastic. Presentation stunning. Service faultless...... This is a restaurant you need to visit. We life in Bucks but having found this gem we will be visiting every time we're in Sunderland.

From start to finish, this place is fantastic. My friend and I visited from Newcastle and wanted to go for an Indian, as we regularly visit different Indian restaurants around Newcastle. On entry, we were welcomed and asked to sit in the very nicely decorated waiting area for our table, as we were early. Menu is very large and vast. There is so much choice, more than other Indian restaurants I have been to. The atmosphere was superb, and the ambience and décor was really nice and very pleasant to sit in.The food was excellent. No complains. We both ordered poppodums/pickle tray and we both had a Madras with rice and naan bread. All was excellent. Everything was piping hot and can't fault it really. The thing that made this restaurant stand out really was the service. The staff can't do more for you. At the end of out meal they apologised for our extra wait, all of 2 minutes. They were attentive, but not too attentive; we never had to "chase" anyone down. The service was very personal. It was just great. Also, you get After Eights. Lovely touch.I would absolutely recommend Yuvraaj and I'd go as far to say I would travel from Newcastle to Sunderland just to come here for dinner. Excellent restaurant and deserves 5 stars. COME HERE FOR AN INDIAN. Will be back! (Tom and Matthew)

Tea time treat for a family of 3.There are many good Indian restaurants in Sunderland so it's hard to rank them on food alone. The food was really good, but what set this place apart was the staff. Really polite and friendly service from a great team of front of house staff. We hadn't been here for a number of years but we now remember what we've been missing Thank you for a superb meal.

You will find it hard to find a better restaurant in Sunderland for Indian food, I have been to this restaurant on many occasions and it never ever disappoints the food is always top notch and always tastes so fresh credit also has to go to the staff who always make you feel so welcome keep up the good work guys

We visited this restaurant while holidaying in the City, after reading the excellent reviews on this site but were sadly disappointed. Food was very good, although we did feel our meal was rather rushed when they served up our main course before we had finished our starters (being a Saturday night the place was very busy but we had booked well in advance.) When it came to ordering dessert we were informed none were available, due to delivery issues so our meal was rather "cut short". Can't say we shall be returning as found several much better Indian restaurants in the area, sorry!

Another fantastic visit to our favourite Indian. Always made to feel welcome and at home and that nothing is too much trouble.Food has ever beautifully prepared and looked amazing and tasted amazing too.Nice break between starters and mains coming out.Next visit already bookedMoni and his team are to be congratulated on running a friendly, great value for money establishment

As a family of curry lovers, when visiting Sunderland, we wanted to visit an Indian restaurant. Recommended to us by our guesthouse owners, we went to Yuvraaj.We were not disappointed at all. The restaurant gave us the best curry we have ever had! The variety of dishes on the menu was amazing. The service was brilliant and the bill was reasonable. Can not fault Yuvraaj at all and would definitely revisit.

The food and service are always excellent. Kandahari is an amazing dish as is the Patil. Moni (the owner) always makes the night a special occasion. His staff are all knowledgeable and attentive . Our favourite Indian restaurant .

Food is always spot on. Never had a bad meal. Staff are always super polite. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I’ve been eating out at various restaurants for years. In all my time I’ve never came across such a well run restaurant serving impeccable food. Along with the best service possible. These guys not only serve the best food but serve it with such professionalism really can’t ask for anymore.

First time in the dining room for 18 months and the meal lived up to our expectations 👍👍👍 fabulous fabulous fabulous 👍👍 Service fabulous Quality excellent Atmosphere amazing

Dined at Yuvraj yesterday, must have been 6th or 7th time over last 4 years. As always cannot fault . Staff very friendly without being overbearing, service very good and food was excellent. Ive never been let down here.Whenever visiting Sunderland for meal I never look further than this placeWell done lads, keep it up

Best Indian cuisine in Sunderland. Food always 1st class and staff very attentive and professional. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food, excellent service and good value for money. We’ve never had a bad experience here and are looking to our next visit already

Had an amazing night with faultless food served by Moni and his great team. Nothing was too much trouble. Hoping to be back real soon.

An excellent dinner with family. 4 of us went to Yuuvraj after booking a table on line only ten minutes before we arrived.When we got to the restaurant we were welcomed and shown to our table straight away. The covid restrictions were really well managed and we were screened off but had plenty of space to be comfortable. Staff were very professional and attentive without being overly present and they very kindly and quickly replaced a drink free of charge and gave my wife towels to dry herself off after she knocked her drink over herself.The food was absolutely perfect and delicious and the service was excellent too.The bill came in at under eighty pounds including drinks and was well worth every penny. I know that we will be back and I would recommend the place to anyone.

During lockdown we prayed this place would re-open to the same standard, how very wrong we were, it’s even better!The guys always make you feel welcome and take time to speak, restrictions have not negatively impacted the business in the slightest.Keep up the hard work.

The food was excellent, after having perused the menu and really not being able to decide we opted for the managers recommendation and honestly so glad we did. The poppadum's & pickle tray were amazing to start with, then the main courses were so special neither of us wanted it to end !No rush from any members of staff, screens all around, covid reg's being covered more than adequately made this a most amazing dining experience and one we shall happily do so again when we return.

We visited first Friday after indoor opening and found our great friendly restaurant the same as ever superb!! Food has had a bit of a revamp but still good value and very tasty!! Felt very Covid safe as well.

Yuvraaj is a beautiful restaurant and very Covid safe. Everyone of the staff we spoke to were so friendly. There is a fantastic choice of food available with a fair few different dishes along with the usual dishes. All of our meals were absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend this fabulous restaurant!

SO GLAD TO BE BACK throughout the situation with what is happening in the world today the staff have kept up there great standard of cleanliness and fantastic quality of food would highly recommend visiting as the staff are very polite and efficientkeep up the hard work guys and good luck

Ordered from the set menu Food beautiful and well presented Service attentive but not overbearing very nice experience

Me and my Mam went here as our first meal out after the 2nd lockdown and were not disappointed! The food was absolutely stunning! The service was amazing as well, all of the staff were very attentive and welcoming! We will definitely be back in the future!

I visited here with my parents and two children over the summer holidays. I was very apprehensive as my dad is difficult to please. Coming from Birmingham, and being Asian we're used to a good curry. However the staff and management here were brilliant. Listened to what we wanted and served delicious food which we all enjoyed. Tables were well spaced out and felt at ease. I would definately recommend.

Always excellent food and service. I ordered Kandahari but asked for it to be made vindaloo hot , one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. The manager and his staff take time to ensure you have a good experience when eating here and take time to explain the different dishes if required. No concerns over covid with all the precautions the restaurant have in place . We had another brilliant night in our favourite Indian restaurant.

Super friendly and attentive staff, amazing food. Already planning our next visit. Totally Covid secure. Brilliant after eights!

Chicken jalfrezi curry is the best I’ve had in Sunderland. Staff are friendly and go above expectations. I’ll see you again in a few weeks. COVID restrictions in place and amazing service.

First takeaway for sometime due to Covid but they are still number 1 in our opinion. Fabulous food, great service and very professional staff. This restaurant and takeaway I highly recommend 👍👍👍

The staff can’t do enough for you and the food is out of this world. It’s always very clean and the staff are always smart and well dressed this is my favourite Indian restaurant in Sunderland

By far one of the best indians in Sunderland amazing food amazing staff. Will most definitely return.

Never fails to impress, food is second to none, service is first class. I won't hesitate to recommend

Best traditional Indian food in sunderland. Recommended . Five star food and service. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent food and service.We ate in today and everything was great had a few takeaways from here and they are great too⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food was delicious and could not fault the service. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Routine visit to Yuvraaj on a Sunday for the special menu. Absolutely exemplary cuisine as per. Can’t wait to be back again. Onion Bhaji starter is the best I’ve had from anywhere.

Dined here tonight couldn’t have asked for a better service a warm cosy atmosphere and the food to say the least was absolutely outstanding would highly recommend to anyone keep up the good work I will be visiting this place on a regular basis
