Shukran Indian - Whitley Bay

Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–£20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We have been coming here since 2015 before we have been to the Himalaya (0wned by the same family) since 2007. Faz and his dad are very welcoming, accommodating and provide excellent service. Food is always piping hot and excellent and fantastic value, especially on Thursdays and Sundays. Me and my friend would not go anywhere else. A favourite at the moment is a lamb imli, a medium curry made with tamarind sauce. Delicious. We have Not had a bad dish on the menu.

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. I dined here for dinner, and my meal cost around £20-30 per person. Everything was outstanding: the food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect score of 5. I particularly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala. Plus, there's ample parking available.

"Charming menu and attentive service. Service type: Dine-in Meal: Dinner Average cost per person: £30–40"

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.... We were only a 10minute drive away and it was cold by the time we got back. With over 40yrs of experience and visiting numerous indian cuisine restaurant around the world, I return to the UK to experience the worst curry ever. I claim to be able to eat anything (edible) but really struggled with this curry congratulations for procuring my hard earned cash but I won 't be wasting my money at Shukran again.... Forewarned is forearmed.
