Ponteland Tandoori: Reviews & Ratings
An absolute treat! You won't be disappointed as they make the finest dishes in Newcastle. Been to many Indian restaurants in the North East and this one is the best.
Amazing food and service. We have dined in house numerous times and also used the collection takeout service. The food is great
I ordered a lamb keema and peas done spicy and well done nan to take out absolutely perfect meal and would recommend this place for a meal
Had originally planned to have a pub meal, but decided to give this restaurant a look. Only had pappadoms & a pickle tray to start, but the pickles were first class, in particular the line pickle. This was tasty without being stupidly hot. I had a chicken bhuna main course. The chicken was beautifully tender & the sauce was really tasty. In conclusion, excellent food & friendly service. Thoroughly recommended.
We indulged ourselves with a tandoori mixed grill. Chicken tikka masala, mushroom pilau, garlic naan, poppadoms with lime pickle all very nice and flavoursome. I collected from the restaurant and enjoyed the ambience, my order was ready on time and the staff were friendly. Recommended
Just moved to Ponteland and as I’m a huge Indian cuisine fan been trying all the restaurants in the area and this one is ran by “Forad” I’ve probably spelt that wrong, is by far the best He accommodates your preferred dish-Jal frezi for me on a sizzler and quite dry, and last night it was absolutely delicious with great service even though they were extremely busy Thanks Kevin
Consistently brilliant. I've tried so many Indian restaurants including so called top-end ones but this place is miles better, It's a 16 mile round trip for me but its worth it imo. The garlic rice is exceptionally good especially with a lamb madras or a chicken tikka Malayan, so far nothing comes close to this place.
Always a great meal staff go over and above! Great experience:)
