The best restaurants in Hetton Sunderland North East

What a shame to see this place go. Thoroughly enjoyed breakfasts and cakes in The Front Room. Excellent food, lovely staff and a cracking cuppa.

My brother has tried just about every Indian restaurant in the North East of England, and I have been with him to a number of what he considers to be amongst the best - which means they have to be good value too. For comparison, we also like Red Hot in Darlington, Ashoka in Seaham and any of the Mumbai chain (Haswell, Hartlepool etc). We go to Tashan for the FOOD. How lovely to be able to have an Indian meal without feeling guilty - the curries are healthy, not laden with fat, and none of the starters are greasy. I love the authentic street food options such as sweet potato chaat, and there are a number of more unusual "home style" dishes - including Indian desserts. Depending on how hungry you are and what you fancy you can have a very filling four course set meal (good value "early bird" available), just a main course, or you can mix and match starters, street food, even fast food (an Indian veggie style burger in a bun with masala chips is a very tasty alternative to a McDonald's!) The Indian breads are light and crisp. Tashan also serve the best mango lassi I have had anywhere - really smooth and fruity, served by the glass or in a big jug. Don't judge this restaurant by the location - the food is of a very high standard and nicely presented, the service is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere very relaxed (you don't need to dress up!). Currently my favourite Indian restaurant! Tashan deserve 5 stars for service, food and value (TripAdvisor button not working to give this rating).

I popped in for drink one tuesday night,got involved in the fun quiz and have been going back every Tuesday night,and live microphone nights and busker nights,this is your village pub with its good selection of beers and lagers,wine by the glass or bottle,and double maxim a Sunderland brew made by the defunct Vaux Brewery and Newcastle Brown,,and to sit and take easy by one of the two real fires yes it full marks to Trish And Mick for keeping the old ambiance

Had sweet and sour chicken balls and chips. Bought for myself but it was plenty for 2 so great value and super tasty! Will definitely visit again.
