25/08/2019: Visited first time as was staying in Glasgow for the night. Great service, tasty food, happy me. Highly recommended if you are looking for authentic Indian food.

24/08/2019: Cannot put into words the quality and taste of the food from Bawarchi, my husband calls the chef a magician. Took my friend this evening, who has never been before and she was blown away. If you have never been and you appreciate quality food then you must go, also the amazing Chef will cook you Chicken Mahlwa (not on the menu) but fantastic (as long as he’s not too busy - sorry Chef!). Peter also made good old fashioned Irish coffees! See you all soon!

12/09/2019: Went here while in Edinburgh for a week and really enjoyed it. I got the almond coconut vegetarian dish with rice and it was really tasty. The rice was seasoned very well and the sauce was great!

10/09/2019: We live locally and love the food in Voujon. Have also had them deliver their food for a soirée in our garden.

18/09/2019: Me and my husband love Indian food and just recently was recommended this place by a friend on Facebook. We wasn't sure what to expect but wow the food was amazing I cannot say anything bad about it. The pilau rice was to die for everything was so fresh you could taste all the spices. The lady who served us also was very polite and welcoming and helped us with the menu. I highly recommend this place to anyone. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be returning. So glad we found you. This is the best Indian food we have ever had. Compliments to the chef.

15/09/2019: Super tasty food, super friendly and helpful staff, reasonable prices. Can't go wrong here! Been here twice in the last week, both times just as good.

15/09/2019: Really good food as usual and not too pricey. The service was very good and the owner came around to check on all the customer and have a nice word. Would definitely recommend!

13/09/2019: The restaurant doesn't look great from outside. Great food but it's all about Nilesh Nilesh Nilesh... Highly recommend.

14/09/2019: The service and atmosphere was amazing . Me and my partner was unsure on what to order as everything sounded amazing so the owner recommended us dishes based on what we said we most enjoyed ( eg spicy , medium , creamy ) . The food was amazing , tasted lovely and was cooked fresh with good portions . A group of four sitting next to us even said to the owner when they came in that they had travelled a long way (from outside of London) to eat here because they heard the food was the best . Highly recommend :)

13/09/2019: I was staying with a friend who lives about 100 yards from here. They use it often and the easy-going owner is like a family friend. It was my treat for them, a nice Saturday night thing. I arrived at about 6 and Katherine had the order placed in a trice almost by osmosis! She ordered Chicken Korma, a vegetable curry, something with spinach and thankfully for your scribe, a Lamb jalfrezi. Pilau rice, naan and chapatis for the 4 of us to share. It was all good, even the stuff I didn't sample! The lamb was tender which isn't always the case in my Indian experience. No Mango chutney in the sauces but added for no charge, as was a box of mango juice. Quick service unsurprisingly as a glimpse in the kitchen revealed a 'cast' of thousands. Supremely good value at £31.

09/09/2019: I really had not expected to get such wonderful food in a relatively small town - but I was wrong: the food was amazing. Even my vegan daughter was able to have one of the best Indian meals that she had ever had. The staff were very friendly and helpful: nothing was too much trouble. I recommend you try it out!

06/09/2019: Family Get together after a wee while. A lovely warm welcome. Food absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavors. Well presented. Service just spot on. Lovely atmosphere. Will be back soon. Highly recommended

14/09/2019: We visited on Thursday 12th September at approx 6.45pm. The restaurant was already busy when we arrived - always a good sign. The food was delicious and the waiters were all very friendly and efficient. It isn’t a very big restaurant so we would advise booking your table to avoid disappointment!

07/09/2019: My friend and I popped into The Shamraat last night fir a quick early tea.

17/09/2019: Been to the Kohinoor a few times now. Always delicious food and excellent, friendly service. This time I brought my parents and they tried a paneer curry for the first time. We all really enjoyed and will be back in the future

14/09/2019: Ce restaurant indien propose une excellente cuisine, goûteuse et raffinée. Sans doute l’un des meilleurs restaurants indiens que nous ayons fait en Angleterre. Et l’accueil est prévenant et chaleureux.

18/09/2019: My daughter and I ate at Simla after a long drive up from Oxfordshire to attend the Newcastle University Open Day. The food was delicious, the surroundings lovely (so nice to be in a restaurant where you are not dazzled by the lights!) and the staff so attentive and friendly. A special mention here for Abdul, who went out of his way to look after us. We will definitely be back if my daughter comes to university here!

17/09/2019: The food was amazing and the service was spot on. This is the only Indian restaurant that I love in Newcastle. Startes are amazing and specially the lamb shank is to die for. Can’t wait to organise a Christmas party and book Simla.

15/09/2019: Fantastic service and really friendly and helpful team. The restaurant is very clean. The food was great and the menu was brilliant. Really good great selection from the bar including lots of Gin options. All meals and drinks very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend and we will return again. Well done Shamrat.

14/09/2019: When some friends contacted me for a catch up as we have not seen each other for a while, there was only one choice for a venue. As usual, it did not disappoint. The food and service were fantastic. Well done guys.

18/09/2019: Taster menu delicious especially the Salmon & perfectly cooked beef. Great service explaining all the dishes nice ambience. Only shame was when they rang to confirm booking I mentioned it was our anniversary to be told we like celebrations but them did nothing special… All in all great meal really enjoyed it will definitely be back

12/09/2019: So, the good news is that the new restaurant is lovely; the service is exemplary; my husband thought his meat and fish tasting menu was delicious. The not so good news is that I found the vegetarian tasting menu very disappointing. Basically it was bland. Apart from the paneer dish, which had the most delicious drops of green sauce - albeit not enough - the other dishes were difficult to taste anything more than pleasant enough spicing. I could not tell you what was in the third and fourth dish! One dish also was luke warm which did not help. Considering much of India is vegetarian, it is disappointing that the chefs did not produce tastier food. We have eaten at Prithvi a couple of times and the food was delicious for both of us. If We go again, hope it will be better forme.

18/09/2019: Bill Bryson in his book “Notes from a Small Island” instructs everyone who has never been to wonderful Durham to go there immediately! In his illustrious footsteps I follow - if you have never been to Shaheens go immediately, for excellent food and excellent service. We enjoyed our visit so much, we will be back, can’t wait!!

18/09/2019: We had a fantastic meal here during our break in Durham. From arriving to leaving it was simply a great experience. This is a family run restaurant and there is great pride in what they do. The waiter, Adham could not have been more helpful, taking our coats, giving advice on the menu. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced too.

16/09/2019: And not disappointed! Lovely food, I can really recommend the Goan dishes, so tasty. The staff are amazing as they were last time, just so friendly. Good job they do doggie bags, and it means lunch tomorrow is sorted

16/09/2019: Visited here on a Saturday evening and was really impressed with the food and the way it is served and laid out in front of you.

09/09/2019: Visited here Saturday evening with my husband and what a great choice for our tea! Popadoms were crispy and dips gorgeous, lamb chops were hard to beat and were so tender and the sauce is beautiful they are marinated in. The lamb curries we got were out of this world,the Lamb desi is sublime and of fantastic quality and so tasty. Worth a real mention are the lovely team of waiters especially Shaleem who went out of his way to talk to us and be super friendly. Saying that all the team are really attentive always looking if you need anything at all and are happy to help. Even on the way out Abdul at the door was asking us if things went okay too.Abdul yes they did and we will be returning! Well done Westbourne! :-)

26/08/2019: We visit every week and tonight we have eaten the most amazing authentic indian I have ever tasted. 12/10. Staff are amazing and look after you.

07/09/2019: Delicious light tasty food. Best parathas and the aubergine fry, yummy! It feels really authentic. Service so friendly.

21/08/2019: We found it on google while driving via A41 and thought to give it a try. It was a great find and after being many years in and around London, we finally found some good touch of native cochin/kerala styles in the cooking. Above all, the customer service was great and we left with a high impression.
