A reasonable meal at an affordable price Flavours were a bit bland and the curry sauce non specific Ambience spoilt by a large screen TV with Bollywood music Overall quite tatty

I believe this is te restaurant that is now called Harun's. What a find!! We were let down by a nearby restaurant and had to find an alternative. Don't look elsewhere - go here first!! Excellent menu, good service, reasonably proced and one of teh best Indian meals I've had in recent times.

I only ever leave a review if the food is exceptional or awful. Unfortunately after a 2 hour wait (& I live 10 minutes walk away) we received our expensive £30 order and it was dreadful. Mixed kebab starter was small & mainly onions. The bhuna had no taste whatsoever and I have never seen a red coloured pathia which was more like a bland sweet & sour sauce. I can only be thankful that we decided to try a takeaway before wasting even more money by eating in the restaurant. Most of our takeaway ended up in the bin. I’m sorry Harun but you need to hear the truth or your business will go under within a month.

Our first night in Haltwhistle , Sunday, not a lot of options so to Zaki we went. On street parking, great menu range and food freshly prepared, Enjoyed our meal very much. We like to finish with a coffe but this must have been a surprise to them as it was very weak and milky. Did not spoil our enjoyment however and we would recommend it.

We came here as we were staying in the Manor Inn and were very disappointed with their menu and the useless young members of staff. Staff were great and the food was top notch! highly reccommeded

Not much meat in the meals , sauce very thin , jalfrezi not up too scratch , butter chicken was decent , madras watery, rice good naan bread was ok , not my cup of tea , maybe spoiled in Aberdeen we have about 40 restaurants , it’s worrying when both restaurants in town only offer. A kurma and say it’s the same a korma ( I’m not Indian but I know the difference ) Shame

After reading the mixed reviews I was hopeful rather than excited when I order the food on a short family break in Haltwhistle. I needn’t have worried. The food was superb and my main course of chicken tikka madras was up there with the best I have ever had and that’s a few to say the least. The gravy was umptious and was suitably mopped up by a lovely egg pilau and naan bread. Highly recommend

We had read some varied reviews but we thought we'd give it a go! I'd just say first of all that the food was excellent. There was a mix up with one of our meals but it was rectified. Staff were polite and friendly. I think the atmosphere and decor let's it down a little as its a bit bright and stark but I got the impression it was a fairly new business. Overall, can't fault the food, the price or the staff really.

We drove over 5 hours from Cambridge to Wydon Farm bed and breakfast, located just outside Haltwhistle and were recommended this Indian restaurant by Linda the owner of the farm. She also recommended the Black Bull pub. We went into the Black Bull pub but they weren’t serving food, but the bartender also recommended Zaki Indian restaurant. I looked on Tripadvisor and the reviews were not great, but after being recommended twice by people that lived in the area we decided to give it a go - we had a great experience, 5 stars out of 5! I had King Prawn Jhinga for starter which was very tasty, the king prawns were large as you would expect, served on a light crispy bread/chapati and my wife had the onion bhaji dish, and 2 large onion bhajis were served (I had to help with one of them; to my delight. I can confirm the bhajis tasted lovely)!! For main course we had Chicken Tikka Jalfrazi and Amm Ur Murgh (which was “Pieces Of Chicken Cooked In A Cream Sauce With Mango, Ground Almonds, Mixed Nuts And Pistachio Nuts”) - it tasted very much like mango, very sweet and creamy - (if you like these sorts of creamy dishes go for it)! We ordered side dishes of Saag Paneer, Bombay Aloo and Peshwari Naan, washed down with 2 glasses of house red! Each main dish and side dish tasted delicious and the house red was really tasty as well. The waiter was really friendly too. Overall would return and would recommend, don’t be put off by some of the negative reviews.

We ate early so it was very quiet. The food was very good, we had poppadoms and chutney followed by a main course each but had no room for dessert. My prawns with spinach were the best I've tasted.

We were really disappointed with the food here. We ordered two different masala dishes which ere basically exactly the same. I think they make a vat of this sauce and then add whichever ingredient you've asked for as a token really. There was sooo much sauce, both the chana masala and the mushroom masala had hardly any chickpeas or mushrooms in them and no other veg. The sauce itself was so overloaded with sugar it was sickly sweet, the sugar overpowered any other flavour that may have been in there. Pretty much a bowl of sugar soup with a few chickpeas or mushrooms which were lost in it. The rice dishes are very small but no amount of mixing with the rice made these dishes edible. The plain chapati was okay and the best part of the meal. Truly awful, we've never had an Indian like this before. I don't even want to give this one star.

The food would have been markedly better had it not huge amounts of sauce all over it. As Indian restaurants go it was OK, good service.

The Tandoori shop is a small counter at which you order food to take away; there’s no seating except a bench on which to wait for your order. You do wait (e.g., 20 minutes), which is fine because the food is made when you order. For a small takeaway place, the menu is huge: every assortment of Indian fare you could want—plus pizza. You can pick the proteins sauce, type of rice. The food is good and a good value (even if there’s more sauce than protein)—especially the naan.
