Absolutely terrible! Ordered online and was swayed by Google reviews but was incredulous when we "plated up."
We ordered a chicken dupiaza which turned out to be chunks of raw onion in a watery tasteless yellow "sauce" (no heat/spice/flavour).
Hard/rubbery/tasteless chicken which appeared pre-cooked and added. Rice was ok but again, pre-cooked/reheated.
Keema naan had kebab meat in in it!!!
More uncooked onion formed into 2 greasy bhaji....

More worryingly is that our son has a nut allergy, so when the wrong food arrives this isn't the best.
I appreciate it they may have been busy, but as a customer I would like
1, what I ordered. 2, food that was edible. 3, not...
Read moreSnazzy little Indian restaurant right next the Whitley bay coast line. It has a stand out menu, one of the best I've ever seen. If your looking to try something new they have a fantastic special menu for dishes from around the world, from Mongolia to pakistan, all with varied ingredients and spices. And they have the classic Indian dishes that everybody loves with all the trimmings, from starters to deserts. Not only this it has fantastic deals on weekdays and weekends where you can save money; ours was 5 courses for £12.95, coffee or ice cream and sides where counted as a course, but still exceptional value.
