  “Ordered via just eat. Eaten here previously and it had always been nice and fresh. However, i will not be eating there ever again! Food was delivered 15mins from ordering…alarm bells already ringing. It’s a 10min drive away too. The pilau rice was all stuck together and was dry, like it had been sat there for a long time. Curry taste was nice but the chicken was tough and dry….again like it had been made a while back. Also ordered a cheesy garlic naan….surely this couldn’t be bad right? Well think again…. It was a standard garlic naan and the cheese was the plastic cheese that you put on a burgers! And again, this too had been made a long time prior to ordering. I dont know if the place had change owners or maybe they have changed their ways of operating but unfortunately i will not be going here ever again and I certainly will not be recommending it to any friends/family. Awful”

  “I was really hoping for an authentic meal, but unfortunately, this was a massive letdown. The food was incredibly bland and lacked any real spice or seasoning. While the dishes were bright with food colouring and just loaded with chunky vegetables to make it look like a lot, no "flavour" to be found in every single dish we ordered, they all tasted exactly the same. Beyond the food, the hygiene was a major concern. The cutlery and plates were visibly dirty, which immediately put us off our meal. While the staff are polite enough and quick to say "yes sir," the actual quality of what they serve is unacceptable. If you’re looking for a flavourful, clean Indian dining experience in Darlington, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Not recommended. Finally, the most likely response from the owner will be that I give out bad reviews, but there is nothing wrong with being a critique, and expecting good quality dining given the prices charged, and we all need real world reviews.”

  “This is the first Indian restaurant I’ve found since moving up from Kent, a year ago, that actually tastes authentic. Amazing food, with lovely flavour. Keeping in mind that I am picky and have dined religiously at 5 star restaurants in London, I can say it’s good quality. The inside is more of a cosy & casual environment, so perfect to visit even for just a quick meal. Additionally, the staff here are well-mannered and friendly, especially the younger man that engaged in a conversation with us! Thankyou.”

  “I have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times in the past and have found it to be decent. However, I have very recently had a takeaway and hours after consuming became very ill with clear symptoms of food poisoning. I will not be eating in or ordering takeaway from here again”

  “I enjoyed this takeawa - mostly. The onion bhajis are phenomenal! They’re impressively large, wonderfully chunky, crispy on the outside, lush on the inside and deliver a beautifully balanced flavour. Unlike many others, they're not overly greasy, and the spices and texture truly shine. Each bite is a testament to how a proper bhaji should taste – utterly delicious. The mint sauce is equally delightful – fresh, creamy, and minty, complementing the starters perfectly. A let down was the chops. While the marinades on the chops were exceptional – rich, authentic, and packed with depth – the execution fell short. Sadly, they were overcooked, leaving them tough and slightly chewy, which was a shame. The popadoms were perfectly crisp, and the garlic chilli chicken bursts with flavour, with just the right level of heat, and it was well cooked, so the chicken wasn't overly dry. The peshwari naan was another highlight, beautifully sweet with a lovely, soft texture. Reasonable prices. I would try them again, but wouldn't reorder the chops.”

  “Stopped here on the way through to my next job for a quick pitstop and enjoyed it. The food came out quick and it was nice, The only complaint was my jalfrezi was a little runny and not spicy 🔥 enough for me. Everything was really nice though and the atmosphere was good. Nice clean toilets and I liked the decor.”
