The best restaurants serving Indian food in County Durham North East

We manage to get to Shaheens around eight times a year and every time we go we are reminded how poor the other curries we have are. We simply cannot fault the service or the food.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Will be back.

First time here. We went for the early evening special menu. The food was delicious and big portions. Only us two in the restaurant but they were really busy with take aways. Cosy place and friendly staff. Loved it

Amazing food and staff are very welcoming

Everything was great, the food and the staff were lovely,slight negatives,it's a little overpriced and a portion of chips is about 12 chips for over £3, definitely be back again

Lovely relaxed evening at this nice restaurant. The menu was varied and reasonably priced, the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Excellent food as always. I cannot fault any of the dishes we’ve tried from here. The “ Paturi “ dishes are exceptional.

Bang on! Good portions, arrived earlier than stated. We’ll be back again!! 👌🏼

Popped in on the off chance after being to the cinema. They were busy but gave us a table for an hour. The food was divine. The service was impeccable. 10 out 10 again

very poor food cold food chips not cooked i would not go to babuls again the curry was cold and no spice when i ordered a spicey curry full of cream and tomatoes thin it out

Aside from some great marketing and un verified ratings the food choice was acceptable, service was over shadowed by some regular guests social interaction with staff members which could easily be misconstrued as a mother's meet and greet session, first visit left an everlasting impression, plenty to work on.

Debo visitar siempre mi ir a cualquier lugar en Durham para un gran poco de comida. El personal siempre amable y acogedor la mayoría de conocer mi pedido de memoria. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite o de la zona!

Ordered our takeaway on a Saturday night it came within 30 minutes it was hot and delicious. It is unusual for any takeaway to arrive on time and be hot but Mumbai managed this I had chicken takeaway masala with pilau rice and spicy chips i would recommend this takeaway/restaurant 😋 👌

Great meal and service again in Holi & Bhang. Substantial and tasty food. Good choice for all of us from the pre-starters, starters & mains. Have enjoyed every visit here. On a side note a lovely view of Durham when outside. And on a clear night great view of the stars! All round a good night out and will return again.
