The best restaurants in Sunderland North East

Really loved the food here and took husband last week. Convinced him to get Spanish eggs as friend always gets them and look lovely with a big portion which makes husband happy. Was disappointed on this visit. Portion a lot smaller. Less bread and he said there was not much black pudding in it. Definitely not the same as previous visits which has put me off as it’s a travel for us to visit.

Had a afternoon tea voucher to spend here, got a call to say they have sold the business and to come with the voucher and collect my afternoon as they finished at 4pm I asked the owner if I could just have my money returned of 25.00, he was really aggressive and said no I don’t what to give you the money, his wife just walked away and his daughter I think was having her say as well. I was disgusted with there attitude to me I have been in there numerous times, if anyone else has vouchers unused you have till 4pm today 27 nov to get your afternoon tea angry horrible people they are, hope they don’t have a good retirement

Had a lovely lunch here today with my parents. Food very tasty and fresh. Love the quirky interior and the owner is very welcoming. Great to find a new place to lunch close to home. Will definitely be returning. Looking forward to trying the homemade tiramisu next time. Excellent value.

Every time I get a Chinese takeaway from their place. They really do deliver a high end product. Amazing food tonight. And the food is always piping hot Job well done…👍

Took my elderly mother for her lunch. She has reduced mobility, but the lovely lady helped her into the restaurant. We both had seafood tortellini which was really tasty, with homemade Tiramasu to follow, which was delicious. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

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.

Alquilé estas cátering para mis hijas 21 celebración de cumpleaños. Sarah era muy útil y feliz para ajustar sus menús para satisfacer a nuestros huéspedes paladar. Muy pocos desechos, al final de la tarde y todo el mundo había comido su llenar. Varios huéspedes eran de antecedentes militares y comparó el buffet a algo que había experimentado sólo en una función de desastre de oficiales. Sólo tengo alabanzas!

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).

You get a personal service which is flexible and meets your needs. Everyone is friendly and remembers your name , well behaved dogs are welcome and spoilt. The food is lovely, take out or sit in. Everything has been done to make you feel safe and well fed in these difficult times. I think it is suitable for all types of customer, I do not feel awkward when I am by myself or have my dog.

Was here this morning only had a porridge with Nutella but it was lovely and very filling will definitely go back for lunch as they have a lovely selection of salad and chicken all flavours

Me and my partner tried today the Bun Kim and Bun Brisket (I believe this one was called like this!) burgers and it was absolutely delicious! Honestly we knew them from very tasty pizzas but the burgers are a different class! 😍

Popped in and had a chilli cheese paninis was delicious 😍 and the staff are so friendly I will definitely be back 👍

Honestly the best cupcakes I have never had. Loved them 😍. The colour, flavour and the pattern everything just tied in so excellently. Definitely getting more.

Met the mam himself there. The legend, Harvey. I am sure one day people will be wanting to visit his eatery as much as that Salt Bae bloke. Wonderful Chinese chicken! I'm sure the cellar bar will be open at some point soon!

The place is now reopen and under new management and it is open to new menu ideas and individual requests.Also we have freshly squeezed juices from fruits and vegetable roots.
