Excellent restaurant serving good authentic Indian street food. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. Mohan who waited on us was extremely helpful and pleasant. Will certainly be back again soon.

Tandoor Dishes were top drawer, prompt and polite service. We all enjoyed the food. many thanks for understanding our needs,

Loved it. Very tasty and still hot.

Food was cold on arrival rice chicken and naan bread disappointed

Just had a chicken madras and an English chicken and chips ..probably the worst u have ever had from the star tandoori...chicken was dry and overcooked chips were inedible the madras curry was so watery you could almost see through it ....won't be going back

I asked the owner for a recommendation what to have to eat for the main course. He Recommended the Goa chef special with lamb. It certainly did not disappoint. Lamb was cooked perfect. The taste was amazing. Will be going back for the same again. Highly recommended.

Booked this meal for a pre meal before seeing Wicked a couple of months in advance. Arrived at 5pm and only 2 other people in , by 6 restaurant was full. Reception on arrival was nice - we were seated no choice of table. No one discussed any specials but we managed to order from menu own choices. I would have liked someone to ask if our meal was ok and if we wanted any additional drinks but this never happened. Food was very nice - I did think a sauce with the tikka would have been nice then when server was clearing away noticed one on table - we weren’t informed what it was or that it was there so not touched. Pricing was reasonable 4 meals / sides and drinks came to just over £100 - they did put a service charge on of £9 without asking or stating it was going to added which is a shame as we always tip but don’t like enforcement. Ambiance was nice in restaurant and very close up the Empire (2 mins walk) and 5 mins walk from bridges car park.

We love eating dinner and try to come whenever we are in town. Fantastic food, reasonable prices and friendly service! Thanks to everyone for a perfect meal every time!

We come here weekly for our takeaway. Service is always great and food is top notch and restaurant standard. We have tried other Indians both takeaways and restaurants and we keep saying..can’t beat Forhans!

Beautiful clean restaurant with open kitchen, lovely food, friendly staff. Massive garlic nan bread. Went on a Thursday night and was very quiet

First time using this restaurant takeaway as we are totally spoilt for choice in Sunderland. I had a tikka chicken madras keema pillau and dal tarka. Have to say the food was excellent with quick delivery. Looking forward to taking my addict group to sit in to try the service.

exceptional indian food in very nice surroundings with staff providing a service second to none ! free parking, well worth a visit !

I can’t review a meal I didn’t have but used to be our go to place. During restaurant week we rang up to book and was asked how long we wanted the table for so this sent out bad vibes immediately thinking they would be wanting us out. So 22 of us got into Babaji without any questions the same evening and no problems there.
