The best restaurants serving Indian food in South Tyneside North East

We booked dinner tonight to celebrate my sisters 50th birthday, this is our ‘go to’ place for Indian food, we love the restaurant and the staff, Shah and the team always make you feel welcome. The food was amazing as always, I always highly recommend Delhi 6 to friends and family due to the continual first class service and food. Now the reason I am posting a review this evening in particular is in fact due to the service, tonight was a busy night for the restaurant, we had ordered our food and drinks and were happily sitting chatting away, a little bit of time had passed when the waiter approached the table with our plates for our main meals, we explained we had not had our starters as yet, this was quickly sorted out and soon our starters arrived, again amazing food! A little bit later we had our mains, one meal was incorrect, however again this was sorted out in a moment, again amazing food! Now my review and comments here are not to be viewed as annoyed/angry/upset, instead my review is that of thanks, it is thanks to the team and Shah and his business partner, they in fact were more concerned over our experience, we reassured them that this was not at all any problem, we in fact had enjoyed a really nice evening celebrating my sisters birthday and enjoying good food, drink and family time, that is all that mattered tonight. I feel at times folk fly off the handle about slow service/mistakes in service etc but i honestly cannot fault any part of this evening. Shah, thank you and thank you to your team, this was the perfect night for my family, please do not feel there was any failing on the part of our service and experience, if anything we were more concerned that you guys were okay, you were run off your feet! For anyone looking for a proper good and tasty Indian food experience, this is the place!

Based on previous reviews, we had to give this place a go and so pleased we did. All 3 of us went for the starter + main meal deal. Highlight for me was the café tuk tuk starter (available as a main) and made slightly less hot to suit my taste - probably one of the nicest things I've eaten. Main I went for chicken dhansak, as I always choose this to compare with other restaurants/takeaways. This was very nice, plenty of chunky chicken and pineapple accompanied with mushroom pilau. My mates all enjoy their dishes too (everyone's different). P.S. Nice cold Cobra aswell. Definitely be back, as food was awesome and very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff too. Top marks from us all.

Ordered a Takeaway on a Saturday night, totally amazing....Best Indian food ive ever had....Best Indian Restaurant in Ocean Road

Worst curry ive ever had. From the tiny bits of tikka in the naga starter to the tasteless jalfrezi and undercooked nan I will never order from here again. Awful👎

Poor order and no for reason , I was spending a lot of money

We have been repeat customers for many years, returning for holiday we called and ordered a takeaway as we had nothing in the house. We were advised an hour for delivery. In the hour I received a call asking to confirm our address as the driver couldnt find our house. The driver was in a different town 15 mins away as who took our order noted the address incorrectly. I asked would the food still be hot and was assured it would be. 20 minutes after the call confirming our address the food was delivered. The containers were smashed and puddles of curry in the bag. Moreso the food was warm at best. I sent photos of the food and also called the restaurant to get it rectified but was basically called a liar. Yes the food may have been hot when it left the restaurant but driving around looking for an address that didnt exist and then a further 20 minutes to my address the food most certainly didnt arrive hot. Short of £30 in the bin. We will definitely not be returning and will not be making any more recommendations to family and friends after this experience.

Have been going here for years. The food is first class. I always order the special and have enough food to feed me for two meals. The offer is very good value for money currently only twelve pounds fifty. I have no hesitation in recommending The Curry Centre to everyone.

For a change my husband wanted to try the vegan Highway Hot Pot. This was unusual for him as he likes his meat but I needn’t have worried he took some of my Bombay Chicken Tikka meal. Both, with rice and chips were really nice. (Stew was quite spicy). Meals arrived quickly and hot to eat.

This place is disgusting.. We thought we would chance it again after my partners dad found a screw in the curry, yes a screw, that was a few years back . So ordered a meal tonight only because of the cheep deals they have on and found a long woman's hair in the chips not a happy experience. I would avoid unless you want a nice suprise in your food. I called them and they offered me a free bag of chips next time I order

45 minutes late and food was barely luke warm

The last time I was here it was the Royal and previously the Zolsa about 30 years ago We had a great meal I had King Prawn Vindaloo and Fish Barji to start. I couldn’t fault it.. 10/10

Got 5 course special 2nite it was lovely but only fault was missing the poppadoms

After two delays when it finally got here the whole meal was cold. I imagine it’s been sat in car whilst others were being delivered. It wasn’t in an insulated bag. Service from the restaurant when I rang said no one else has complained. What a poor attitude. We have been a regular customer - usually eat in - but TI will

After some initial confusion about the food being delivered or not it arrived and as usual it was lovely!

Found a live caterpillar in the food, phoned to let the restaurant know and they back to the house to see if there really was a caterpillar, took the dish away and said they would be back with food to compensate and then never came back with a replacement dish
