The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in North East

Absolutely incredible food! Seriously, this is about the fourth time we’ve ordered from here and it’s like it keeps getting better! Delivered quickly and red hot; tasty food, nice bit of a kick! Really cannot fault it! Would highly recommend!

This place hits all the boxes !

Always a pleasure at shandiz. The food is amazing and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. If you’ve not tried it you are missing out…

Disfruté mucho de mi comida y recomendaría encarecidamente si para comer en o como una comida para llevar. Gracias especiales a María.

Muy relajado, limpio, con muy limpio. La mayoría de la comida era demasiado picante para mí, pero los hotdogs de comida callejera eran muy agradables. Pedí ketchup de tomate, tuvo una patada, sin eso hubiera sido perfecto 🥰. Definitivamente volveré

We've been to this restaurant a couple of times lately, and the food has been brilliant. We usually have a bhaji, chicken tikka, madras and rogan josh, with mushroom pilau , chips and a garlic nan, between us. Sometimes I have the chicken bhuna on puree. Service and food is excellent

Staff talk to you like there just stood in dog crap

Estábamos deseando probar este lugar, ya que había reservado 2 semanas de antelación, en primer lugar . . lugar se ve increíble jardines impresionantes, etc . . en segundo lugar después de que era un desastre total, el camarero que teníamos parecía simplemente rondar nuestra mesa y al tomar los pedidos simplemente se paró sobre nosotros haciéndonos sentir un poco incómodos, para empezar, tenía pudín negro y bolas de haggis que eran agradables, pero mi esposa no tenía un entrante, luego vino la red, esposa tuvo la cena de carne de res que se pidió ROSA . . . vino RAW & Dropping blood esto se envió de vuelta y regresó 10 segundos después que era apenas muy diferente, carne de res muy masticable y difícil de comer con un cuchillo de mantequilla, patata asada era roca frita dura en el medio esto solo dejo a mi esposa, no entendíamos las cebollas crujientes en la parte superior de la carne de res ? ? ? . . mi pescado y patatas fritas era pobre, patatas fritas sólidas y pescado no era grande en absoluto y no mucha carne blanca en el interior como si el filete se había cortado de nuevo (porción muy delgada) también guisantes enlatados, la gerente fue informada sobre que ella trató de rectificarlo . . 25% de descuento en la factura no era el mejor, pero solo queríamos dejar ... vergüenza, ya que estábamos deseando ... tal vez era un mal día para ellos, pero por desgracia no volveremos ... 40 libras abajo. . . personalmente no lo recomendaría pero que mi opinión

Food terrible and very late and cold. Wouldn’t recommend to even someone with no sense of taste. Anyone that would order must be desperate.

You were such a disappointment for someone who claims to provide a buffet service well you were indeed short of that very service. Not only did you fail to top up but half hour into our booking you stopped serviving food so some of us left the venue without actually having a bite to eat. Surely a buffer service continues to close of business. Definitely do not recommend. What a disappointment you were.

Made an impromptu visit following a walk in Armstrong park with the kids. We used to frequent here for food 15+ years ago when we lived directly behind it during University. Can honestly say the place has only improved on what were already high standard’s over this time! Sat outside on the decking with the kids to not disturb any of the other punters, but even the outside seating had filled up soon after. Very child friendly and has a kids menu. Owners were very welcoming and went out of their way to have a chat. Biggest selling point - the food! It’s got to be one of the best places in the area with a solid menu. Portion sizes are by no means scarce. Would definitely go back to sample some of the other options I struggled to make a choice between. Happy to see an establishment continuing to be successful and not losing any of its appeal over such a long time. So glad we decided to pop in for a bit of nostalgia.

The place is not called Coffin club it's Meat Up and has been for a while and it's different staff with out of this world food, drinks, service and offers. There were 4 of us and 2 of us had 241 cocktails and 2 had pints. The 241 offer seems to be on most of the time. There was also 10% discount just for coming. The lady who appeared to be the Manager or owner is amazing and makes you feel at home. The food was sublime and I can't fault the place at all, in the slightest. If you're in Sunderland and are a meat eater or vegetarian, you're hungry and you want somewhere to eat, go to Meat Up! Mmm.

I would agree that the service was slow, however we weren't in a rush do didn't mind this. The first problem was my partner day on his seat and mealry feel as the bottom of one of the legs had a part missing. Then came our starters. When the waiter brought out food over and went to hand us the incorrect item. I pointed out that I didn't order pate but had ordered the fishcakes and he seemed annoyed and just repeated what he had. He left and then someone else returned with the correct item. The starters were good and we both enjoyed them. Then our mains came. I had upgraded and ordered the fillet steak, when this came it looked good but when I ate some of the steak I realised it was cold and dry. I would normally just eat it however I couldn't eat it cold AND dry so I told my waitress. She took my plate with nothing said and returned a few moments later with my plate that had the chips and peppercorn sauce on it so they didnt get cold. Just what I wanted....to eat my chips without the steak. She then returned with another plate with my original steak that had been but in a pan to heat it up so it was no longer medium. Atleast it wasn't dry now so I ate it as I couldn't be bothered to be that person. Then we ordered 2 long island iced teas. I took a sip and it tasted like water mixed with coke. I asked my partner if his was the same and he said yes so I took another sip after stirring it and it was exactly the same so I left it. We paid the bill and left. I don't think we'll be returning anytime soon.

Definitely different from your average takeaway, we got the mega box which was great value with various meats and sides. Pre ordered and was ready on time. Great service and food prepared with love.

I have used the cafe a number of times now, great value and service. The mince & dumplings is fantastic, as are the giant Yorkshire puddings with beef or chicken. Proper old style cafe
