The best restaurants serving Indian food in Stockton-on-Tees North East

Discovered this gem of an Indian restaurant when we attended a concert at the Globe last year, so had to go again when we were back for another gig. The food and choice was excellent and the restaurant had a nice vibe with a mix of all ages and demographics. Staff were attentive and service was quick, which was ideal for us. We’ll be back in the New Year at our next concert for sure.

This restaurant is nothing but constantly excellent. We have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years. It’s is our favourite Indian. The service is friendly, welcoming and the prices are very affordable. The staff are amazing, very attentive and polite. I would recommend this restaurant time and time again. We have never had a bad experience here.

Chicken dry even though it was in sauce. Rice cold

Who ever giv this place it's rating, is a liar, I won't rate this food at all. King prawn curry, king prawn jalfrazy and chefs special, how all 3 meal come out the same colour, the prawns, I would of fed the dog with them, chicken was small boiled, we got pictures of the food.we rang for our money back, In fairness they did, we traveled to Seaton tandoori, ordered the same food, totally different colours prawn and chicken where spot on, avoid the shalimar in billingham.

A few guys getting together after football, Solid tasty Indian . good standard, its been there a while so, say no more. Worth a visit

Worst chicken biryani takeaway ever with watered down sauce. It was Luke warm and tasted of grease. I didn't receive a reply to my complaint but staff were aware and gave me a refund. They offered a free meal as well. I was hesitant but thought couldn't make a bad job of chicken tikka masala. How wrong I was! Again watered down sauce which was bright red and full of grease, half a dozen cubes of chicken floating in it. Nan bread ordered half the size of local Indian takeaway. I have a feeling they serve better food in the Resteraunt and skimp on takeaways. As many people wouldn't complain. In future will order from Durham Lane.

Very weird. Had a phone call from this business. Answered it to hear deliberate heavy breathing down the phone. It was then hung up rather quickly when I said hello so I called back and enquired about the call to be told no one had called me from the number in a manner that suggested I was lying. The weirdest thing is I don't even live anywhere close to the area this company is based in. In fact I'm half way down the country.

usually a great curry from here but tonight two portions of pathia both like water with no flavour. very disappointed

I have to say, people are too quick to say bad things about all their experiences! Seriously people. I don't know if you are so piss poor that you can't afford to eat out? Or that you just love to complain? Read all of my other reviews and you will see I speak the truth!!! "THIS PLACE IS FU $#@NG AMAZING!!! smiley warm welcome from olinda, then all of the staff are so commited to serving excellence! The food was bursting with flavours and spices! The beverages were chilled to perfection! If I were to score this experience it would most definitely be a 10/10! So people, don't be put off by negativity! Please try this place, its awesome! Food, fresh. Staff, attentive. Surroundings, warm and confortable, overall......absolutely taste sensational fantasticly delicious! Cant wait to return!

Absolutely lovely food, first time ordering from her but certainly won't be the last. Delicious!
