The best restaurants serving Indian food in Newcastle-under-Lyme West Midlands

The best balti in stoke without a doubt 5 stars everytime the ingredients are fresh and I would never go anywhere else I've been going there for over 35 years they are perfection

What a great experience! Lovely food and excellent service. Knocks spots off restaurants we've visited in the last 12 months. Try it before you can't get a table!

Ripped us off. Ordered and didn't get food

We had come up to Newcastle for a birthday celebration and had originally booked a table elsewhere that wasn't even open, so a wander around the local area we came across this restaurant. They were able to sit the 6 of us within a decent time frame without a booking. The food was exceptional and very tasty, service was a touch slow but it's a Saturday night and the restaurant was full and quite busy. We did have to ask a couple of times for the drinks we'd ordered but the food was definitely worth the wait. Tasty food and lovely staff, we will definitely return the next time we come over to Newcastle

Very disappointing experience. I really rated Moohans when it opened, but the food and service has dropped off. Ordered a takeaway, which was missing several dishes and two of the curries were almost identical despite being described as different. I called the restaurant to provide constructive feedback (rather than leave a negative review) and was promptly promised a call back, but they couldn't even manage that. Won't be going again, too many poor experiences.

Lovely restaurant with super staff. Excellent meal. Absolutely the best curry that I have ever had. Popadoms and dips very fresh. Delicious Chicken Tikka Korai with pilau rice and garlic naan. Extremely good value for money with wine very reasonably priced. Shall definitely return.

We would like to think that we are curry connoisseurs 😜. Been to a lot of different restaurants. We moored up near the harecastle tunnel and decided to pop into kidsgrove for a curry. We were recommended Arena by a customer that was standing outside. We took a chance and it was a good decision. Karen was brilliant and the food was fantastic. The lamb was so tender, fresh cauliflower in the bhaji and the channawalla was so tasty. Would thoroughly recommend. Unfortunately we were early and the restaurant was empty so I can’t give a great review on the atmosphere.

The food has always been good or very good, but do not expect a luxury dining environment the building and dining room are becoming damp and a bit smelly, the lavatories are well below standard small touches with regard to interior decor, or lack of, would make a huge difference-not a place you would wish to linger over good food

Went to order at 10-15 to be told there was nothing left the staff were shocking couldn’t care less will not be going there again

We have used Shalimar lots, probably one of the best Indian restaurants in North Staffordshire. We had a number of Curries all with very unique tastes, all cooked very well with lots of meat also cooked really well. A mistake was made and the starters were not delivered nor charged for. I called and the chap instantly offered to deliver free of charge, there was no problem at all just simply the thing was to correct the issue. Lots of restaurants and takeaways could do with offering this level of customer service. You will be delighted with the service and the quality and taste of the food. Just to Note the Family Naan bread is huge! And again tastes amazing. You simply will not be disappointed.

Came here last Friday and was expecting the same service as last year however i was really disappointed with the service, the manager had earplugs in and seemed unbothered. Food was great it was just the service that really let me down.

This place was so good but it burnt

Honestly the delivery man was the best part and im sure staff are lovely. Forgot my redbull, offered one next time which was kind but wont be ordering there again. Ordered a burger and chips, genuinely cant explain more to you how horribly dry and rubbery the burger was, chips were cold and stodgy. Not just that, ordered a donut and was met with what tasted like a hard sponge soaked in sugar. Have never had a takeaway as expensive but horrible as that, seems like they make the food at the start of the week and use that🤢

The food is lovely, however to see it arrive with it spilt everywhere in the bag, so I don't even get half of what I pay for, ridiculous

waited 1.5 hours for it to be delivered then when it came the biryani had no sauce and other things were missing too! so had to ring up for them to deliver that too which meant we waited nearly 2.5 hours to be able to eat. poppadoms were very greasy and came with hardly any dips. chicken balti came with way too many veg in. wont be using again i’m afraid.
