The best restaurants in County Durham North East

Partner and I ordered takeaway (for delivery) Food came within 30 mins and was all spot on but 2 cans of pop we had ordered were missing. Called back up and manager said he would send someone out right away with them. Came within 10 minutes and the delivery lady is also lovely!😊

Food ok, but service very slow. Sadly we went for food and they had ran out of rice. Who really wants to eat a Thai curry with chips. Improvements needed regrading service and the noise and swearing that can be heard in the restaurant from the bar. It was like been in a bar full of sailers. Maybe a door needs putting on from the bar to restaurant? Bar staff was very slow. Repeatedly asked for menus, took 20 minutes to take our order from getting menus, restaurant was quite so would understand a little if it was busy. Food come out in dribs and drabs. My main come out 5 minutes before my husbands. These few issues need addressing and it could become a little gold mine.

We recently enjoyed a most excellent dinner at Cape to Cairo in Bishop Auckland and think this little gem of a restaurant tucked down a side road in the centre of town deserves the highest praise. We received very personal and attentive service from the owner who couldn't have done more to ensure our experience was a truly memorable one. The menu is full of very interesting dishes and prices are extremely reasonable - it was hard to know what to choose - and we were more than delighted with the Durban curry, Cape Burger and Chicken four ways. We also thoroughly enjoyed an impromtu bonus performance by a Zimbabwean A cappella group - truly amazing! We will certainly remember our visit to Cape to Cairo very fondly. Thank you very much!

Buena relación calidad-precio, un menú sencillo de sándwiches hechos a pedido, chaquetas, ensaladas y tartas. Sabroso, comida fresca para llevar (una pequeña sentarse en la mesa. )

Great place for food on the go great staff always pleasant and friendly and helpful service is great and food is great value for money

We arrived at the accommodation to be greeted by a lovely welcome pack. We stayed in Raby and were impressed by the space and amenities. My brother in law was particularly fond of people watching from the living room window. A comfortable and very reasonable way to enjoy Barnard Castle and surrounding area. We also enjoyed having a drink in the bar downstairs. Very handily situated. Will definitely return and can highly recommend to anyone.

Nice well prepared and presented cuisine. Service is excellent, by the super friendly and helpful staff.

We use this takeaway at least twice a week.The portions are exactly right,not too much,the curry selections are,in our opinion,the tastiest in the area.The batter balls are perfect,the yung chow fried rice is excellent.would definitely recommend.

A lovely family run restaurant with a good vibe and superb food. Definitely worth a visit when you are in the area.

Never had a bad meal from Kya, fresh tasty kebabs, large portions and pizzas are spot on, also great delevry service good arrives hot.

The best little cafe in Spennymoor. If you're looking for proper home cooked food this is your place. Staff are friendly and welcoming, their menu is extensive and very reasonably priced. Seating is available on two floors and there is a bathroom situated on the first floor. The cafe is clean and accessible for all users. You will always be pleasantly surprised when your meal arrives, the portion sizes are very generous and extremely delicious. Always our first choice for food.. we even have them deliver to us when we cant get down to the cafe. The same food delivered by their friendly driver. For ease of payments they do take good old cash, and card payments, and the delivery driver also has a card machine if you're like me and dont carry cash. Give them a shot you wont be disappointed

Popped in a here a couple of times after parkrun with eldest son staff always nice and friendly as he loves the sausage rolls. Great bread and cakes as well I love the rock buns.

Not great at all. Ordered online (which wasn't cheap) and they got the order wrong. Fish was not very fresh and the batter was soggy. Even asking for salt and vinegar on the chips seemed too much to ask.

Overall amazing restaurant with great tasting authentic and fresh food for a good price as well as lovely and efficient service!
