Rakhi Indian Restaurant - Seaton Burn — Restaurant in North Tyneside

Oh my goodness, I am in the area to attend a family wedding and checked out the local reviews to find a good Indian meal. This place came up well so I ordered a takeaway .

To my regret I had to leave just a little bit of sauce because I had gotten full but if I could have I'd have requested a small roti to mop up the rest of the karahi pan to a polished finish! Superb. The price was very fair too and the Cobra beer went very well...

Nothing at this restaurant particularly made it great. Our service was below par with a lengths of time between being given menus, ordering and receiving food, as well as a spare plate delivered to a different table in the restaurant. The food was alright, however food that was considered spicy seemed to lack in heat, as well as the roti seeming to have...
