The best restaurants serving Indian food in County Durham North East

Great restaurant, we have been searching for a quality, friendly restaurant for a while since the ones in nearby Durham have gone downhill. Plentiful food and of a high quality, staff were great and we will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant

Ate early evening so not as busy as expected to be later, food was superb and service was helpful and lovely. A great little Indian restaurant with a warm welcome and a quick walk to the wonderful view of Durham Cathedral.

We are situated on the campsite 5 minutes drive away. However we are in a motorhome, so difficult to move, and thought we’d get a delivery as stipulated several times on the website. When we rang up to order they said they don’t do deliveries. Don’t bother looking forward to an Indian delivery and we’ve suggested they change the wording on the website. ORDER LOST

Absolutely fabulous restaurant, food and staff were amazing. Great atmosphere and a fantastic selection to choose from. Will definitely be back.

Nice food, average price. Took a while to collect our food but it was a Saturday night. Overall would recommend as a tasty take away in the village of Stanhope.

Having read reviews that praised the food, decided for wife and i to order a take away - vindaloo and korma, we both thought it was the worst Indian we have ever had in 45 years, so no more from this establishment

Thought is was poor and tasteless chicken was good quality but def not worth the money

Bang on! Good portions, arrived earlier than stated. We’ll be back again!! 👌🏼

Came for my birthday dinner with family and was amazing. Food was delicious and gave options for gluten free, dairy free which is nice to see on the menu. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend coming here. Only thing I found bit strange, there were no prices on the food menu. When bill came most starters we had were around £8.50 and mains around £18/19.

Lovely meal served by attentive, discreet servers. It was very quiet, as it was a weekday I assume. My toddler grandson was also welcomed. Had a lovely time

First time here and will def be back. Had a mixed grill and it was an experience. A fantastic meal and I will def be back, couldn’t fault it.

Ordered our takeaway on a Saturday night it came within 30 minutes it was hot and delicious. It is unusual for any takeaway to arrive on time and be hot but Mumbai managed this I had chicken takeaway masala with pilau rice and spicy chips i would recommend this takeaway/restaurant 😋 👌

Absolutely delicious food. We had an amazing evening. It was a little bit expensive but worth it for the quality of the food.

Now I understand most restaurants / takeaways will be extremely busy on New Years Eve, but from my view they let a lot of people down including myself. I placed an order and told a pick up time of 8.45. Upon arrival the restaurant was busy with a lot of angry customers (some who had waited over 2 hours in there for their food). No one greeted me or others, or asked who we were or what we had ordered. When I finally pulled someone I told them my order which was written down by them.. they then took over an hour to cook my food (and only started when I arrived) - as seemed the case for a lot of people there. Very frustrating esp when I wanted to get home and enjoy somewhat of what was left of New Year’s Eve. No apologies or no time of how long it would take.. just me sitting in there ... waiting.. it finally arrived and still no apology! Got home and part of it was wrong.. due to the time there was no way I was going back (believe they took the phone of the hook). I’ve been a customer for many years in the restaurant and takeaway.. oh and they overcharged me but at the time I just wanted food (would have been too late to order from elsewhere). I may be wrong, but don’t take so many orders that you cannot handle them, also be prepared and it’ll go smoothly! I felt for the chef, but management has let him down and the customers The only reason it’s gained a 2 star is the food! That’s saved it from a 1 star, (food spot on, service disgraceful). Because of this and no apology on line or on their FB page, I’ll be going elsewhere.
