The best restaurants serving Indian food in North East

Had a fantastic early dinner on Tuesday 25th March. My wife and I both thought that food was delicious, the service was friendly and professional and the ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed and enjoyable. Will definitely be returning. John and Tina

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

Sin duda, este es sin duda el mejor restaurante indio en el noreste. Nos encanta la comida india y hemos probado tantos restaurantes indios en toda Inglaterra. ¡Yo digo que esto está en el top 3! La comida es increíblemente sabrosa y el personal es muy amable. El ambiente es muy bueno también.

slightly disappointing. usually our go to Indians but this time it just wasn't as tasty as usual. ordered pilau rice and received boiled rice too.

Great food and warm, knowledgeable service. Ask for recommendations and you won’t be disappointed, my go to India restaurant on the wonderful Ocean Rd. Oh and Double Maxim!!

Mejor comida para llevar india en sunderland nos encanta su comida! El pollo tikka masala es increíble! Siempre a tiempo y el personal muy amable

Fantastic food, ordered takeaway twice and it's my new favourite. Plenty of veg options. The Aloo Chop and Dal Puri are my favourite. Good authentic options.

Party of 8, booked in advance to ensure we got in. 2 many dishes to list everything we ordered, but we all had starters and mains and a few nans washed down with various drinks. Everyone agreed the food was excellent, service was spot on. Nice venue, nice staff, good food and value for money, what more could you want. Would highly recommend.

staff were so lovely and the food was absolutely amazing !

Absolutely amazing food and service! Shruthi was able to guide us through the menu and give recommendations which made the experience even better for us. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone and I can’t wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

First time at Crawcrook Tandoori and would highly recommend. The service was brilliant and food beautiful. Lovely 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.

This is the restaurant which we return to when in or near South Shields - that is not very often because we live 250 miles away. Why do we go there? Because the food is excellent and the chef will adjust anything to your taste, the menu is extensive both for food and drink, the service is perfect with polite and helpful staff and the price is very good. They are very popular - no surprise there - so do book or you will miss an incredible gastronomic experience. Recommended without reservation.

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.
