The best restaurants in Houghton Sunderland North East

The decor is lovely, the staff are friendly and the meal was excellent. I highly recommend your afternoon teas here. Will definitely be coming back

Beautiful food, great service and a very cosy atmosphere. I think this is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and would highly recommend to anyone!

We went here for a family meal, my wife and I had a fillet steak each, unfortunately the quality of the fillet was rather poor, they were both chewy and rather fatty, we have had fillet steaks multiple times, unfortunately this was the worst.

10 of us to cope with and everyone absolutely over the moon with the quality of the food and the service , plus great value for money !!!! 10/10 !!!! Well done Amalfi 😋 👍🏼

We ordered a take away for delivery, and ordered it to be delivered at 8pm as we were due home just before then. Just eat then said it was was delayed until 9:20pm so we knew we had plenty of time. I received a call at 6:20pm saying they were outside. I apologised and said it was ordered for 8pm, we are not there to collect it. The driver apologised and said he would sort it. At around 8:15pm I rang up just to confirm that the food was still coming and a young girl answered and said she would find out. Suddenly a very rude and angry man came on the phone, he did not say who he was, and started actually shouting at me down the phone for refusing the order. I tried to explain the problem but he would not let me get a word in. He said on his end it did not say 8pm but I had the app open and it said 8pm on my end. I even tried to say it may be a just eat error but he would not listen. He was extremely aggressive. I asked to speak to someone less unpleasant so he put the young girl back on the phone, who was full of apologies and incredibly helpful. So I would like to thank her and point out how good she was considering how aggressive and unprofessional her colleague was. When the food was delivered the driver was lovely, and he did show the ticket that said 6:55pm (still later than they actually tried the first time) but I explained that I had triple checked and the app said 8pm. I absolutely think this was a just eat error and did not bother me in the slightest, these things happen. This review is based on the vile behaviour of one of the staff. This is the first time I've ever left a negative review for anything because I was so appalled by the way in which he spoke to me. We order from here regularly and enjoy the food, so I really hope the establishment get rid of this awful employee.

Love this takeaway, staff always friendly and polite Food is the best I've ever had.would highly recommend to all my family and friends

Best fish and chip shop ,fish excellent and chips done to perfection not greasy at all ,we have had a few lunches here and I would definitely recommend that you try it ,other fish shops take notice and learn ! Ps the staff are polite and very pleasant as well.

We visited Palanquin on the spur and chose the special menu which was £13.95 for 2 courses. The choice was very good and the portion sizes big, with the main came either a rice or nan but if there are 2 of you the rice portion is big enough to share 1 rice and the a nan.The quality of the food was superb and service was spot on. All in all a great customer experience , we will definitely be back.

Always a favourite spot if we're over this way. The food is always lovely, but what makes this place is the staff. They are fantastic, work so hard and polite.

Great food, good prices. Very busy and tables not cleared quick enough

First time at the Mill but deffo won’t be our last. The Sunday lunch is outstanding! Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back 👍

lovely Sunday dinner, huge portions

Ordered here many times and always been nice. However they say we ordered one thing but sent something else. When challenged it was no you ordered this if you want something else. Not ordering from them again. When I have family orders are large very disappointed

I've bought a couple of curry's from alos recently ,the curry sauce is like water, they have put prices up considerably, but are making the poorest curry sauce possible, used to be a really good takeaway, now it seems profit is more important than quality, very disappointed, Andy.

I had a beef curry from here and wouldn't order it again. The beef was so chewy I left most of it. The rice and chips were hot and ok but I will avoid beef in the future
