Soami's Trio By Parvin Kumar — Restaurant in England

This was on a Facebook Restaurant/takeaway "What's hot & what's not" page, just thought you'd like to see it. X

Soamis Trio this evening. Went for the first time for my birthday. The waitress was very friendly and informative, we were the only people in there at 5.30. The restaurant was warm, with lovely decor and subtle Indian music playing. We ordered the pickle tray with popadoms, then the trio of treats, which was a main and served two, it consisted of 4 curries, butter naan and pilau rice, we ordered a side of masala chips, plus an alcohol free Cobra and a large white wine. Service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious, very authentic. I can't believe we haven't been before. The bill was £50.10 and so worth it, we were stuffed and had to get a doggy bag to take home. It won't be the last time we go. 10/10 ps I'm the fussiest person on the planet as I'm a chef and...

When Soami's moved to Consett from Peterlee a few years ago, I was disappointed as I could no longer order a takeaway. I kept Soami's in the back of my mind since they moved.

I had a Korma with Pilau rice and a keema naan, while my partner had a Murg Makhani Masala with a cheese naan & chapati

Desserts were incredibly nice, we had a masala chai cheesecake and a Gajar Halwa.

100% will be coming back.

P.s the female owner and the young waitress were incredibly professional,...

Came here last night instead of ordering a takeaway, am glad to say it was the right choice. The taff were, lovely and attentive. The food portions were just right. Most importantly, it was all delicious. It suited me, someone who likes a lot of spice and flavour and also my wife who enjoys the milder flavours. The Naan was spot on, thin, delicious and very authentic. I had the biriyani and the trio starter, both were lovely. My partner had nachos to start and korma with pilau rice for mains. The rice was very flavourful, and not just boiled rice with food colouring like some places.

Will definitely be back, I think we have found our...
