Rajapur Bangladeshi Kitchen — Restaurant in North Tyneside

We visited early on Friday evening for a meal with my parents. We were welcomed to our table and ordered some poppadoms and pickle tray whilst we looked at the menu.

This is our first visit since it was The Aramee and we were advised the chef is still the same of 20 years.

The menus offered all the usual traditional dishes but also had a page and a half of Chefs special dishes. Many I had not tried before so this is good. We ordered the following dishes: Chicken dansak Keema chicken tikka Hadai murgh Dinaj puri lamb (this was hot!) And sides of: Aloo gobi Sag aloo Pilau rice Garlic naan Stuffed paratha

We were absolutely stuffed and the food was so tasty. The men even managed to find room for a dessert …. This was a traditional dish which I can’t remember the name (similar to warmwd donut served with ice cream)

The restaurant does not serve alcohol so we took our own. Total bill for 4 of us was just under £80 and we left a decent tip and the food and service was very good. Nice not to be rushed out of the door either. (Some restaurants only give you a table for 90 minutes and then have you out)

I’d highly recommend and we will be back very soon to sample some more...

To update this review. We go to the Rajapur if it’s for take away or sit in probably once a month. It’s always bang on. The chicken tikka green bengol being our favourite. Good value, take your own booze and great food. A jewel in a North Shields which needs to use it or lose it. No point whinging about what has closed its doors and left if you never went. Great food. Long may it continue.

Revisited the Rajapur (used to be Aramee) about a couple of weeks after it recency reopened. I was chuffed it did as Shields needs more restaurants. The food was good, my curry was really tasty and smokey with a depth of flavour I haven’t had in a while. It was spicy as hell so I’ll be toning it down next time. Staff were friendly but atmosphere wasn’t great as not many in. Need to use it or lose it! I will be back soon to show my...
