The best restaurants serving Indian food in North East

A really good take away, we couldn't fault it, food so tasty, onion bhaji best we have had, served with salad and yogurt dressing. Curries large portions, with lots of meat. Ordered an hour before we wanted to collect and it was ready when we called at the restaurant. Staff very friendly. Cash only, no cards taken. Highly recommend

Hermosa comida, servicio fantástico y personal. Un montón de comida por el costo, muy recomendable. También le compraron a mi hija un pedazo grande de pastel de chocolate con una vela.

Chose this Indian restaurant over others as it opened at 4 pm which allowed us to have a quick meal before catching train home. Some unusual items on the menu. We were very pleased with our meal and the friendly and attentive service. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to a return visit.

I called in tonight for a takeaway. The ordering process was quick and dealt with politely and efficiently. The 20 minute turnaround that I requested was not a problem. All that aside, the quality of the food was supreme.

This restaurant is really great, lovely lounge area too serving all manner of drinks. Food was exceptional, definitely worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Penshaw Tandoori sigue siendo uno de los mejores de la zona. Como se anuncia ha sido reformado desafortunadamente esto era solo el exterior. Las sillas de mesa y la decoración de interiores necesita desesperadamente una revisión 'Especialmente las sillas'. Nos encantó nuestra comida y el personal era encantador, pero debo decir que hacía un poco de frío y la decoración es tan anticuada en comparación con la competencia local. Dicho esto, es barato £ 108 o £ 27 cada uno. Eso requiere una paliza. Alimentos 9 / 10 Personal 10 / 10 Decoración 5 / 10 Valor 11 / 10 Bandeja de pepinillo x 4 popadoms.

Celebré el 80 cumpleaños de un amigo aquí esta noche, mesa de diez. Servicio de primera clase, comida de 5 estrellas. No podía pedir una noche mejor. El personal es muy amable y servicial. Sin duda volveremos

Well, after 64 years on this planet, I may have found the best Indian meal - Shahi Tukra at The Monsoon, Low Fell. We've eaten at this cosy restaurant lots of times, and I've never had a bad one. But this has set a very high standard for every meal to come. Delicious chicken breast in a lovely sauce including Spanish Onions which just gave it a hint of sweetness among the delightful (medium hot) sauce. Highly recommended 5* in my books

Would not order again chips over cooked about 3 times food was horrible and water coming from food had some Indian in my time but this was the worst

Food came in drips and drabs as they were busy and some of our order was missing and they were very unpleasant and we left early without finishing our food as we waited over one and half hours for total food order.

Service for delivery is really bad. I ordered at 18:00 (opening time) for it not to arrive and asked to wait another hour !! Not the service you would expect from a delivery service at the moment

The Tandoori shop is a small counter at which you order food to take away; there’s no seating except a bench on which to wait for your order. You do wait (e.g., 20 minutes), which is fine because the food is made when you order. For a small takeaway place, the menu is huge: every assortment of Indian fare you could want—plus pizza. You can pick the proteins sauce, type of rice. The food is good and a good value (even if there’s more sauce than protein)—especially the naan.

Really disappointed with our takeaway for my son's birthday. A curry now isn't cheap so it was a treat night for us, however the balti which I always have was watery and tasteless. I've never had a curry lacking taste before and my son and I are both a little unwell following our treat night...

Unfortunately this is not a proper Indian restaurant anymore but a cafe that sells Indian food, the takeaway food was really great and the service was good but if you're looking for a sit in meal then it's disappointing.
