About Forhan's
Forhan's is an Indian takeaway at 61 Hylton Rd in Sunderland. The kitchen serves Indian food centred on curries, and garlic naan, including a garlic and coriander version, is ordered alongside them. Chips go with curries too, and one order combines curry, rice and chips in a single all-in-one meal. The owner describes the menu as a broad range of flavours gathered in one place, from the curries to the bread, rice and chips that accompany them.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the flavour of the curries, with the chicken balti, dupiaza, and a chicken tikka vindaloo named among the dishes, and the chicken described as soft and cooked to perfection. Close behind is the takeaway format itself: diners describe meals arriving hot and on the requested time, with a friendly delivery driver and quick service even when busy. Portions are called generous, enough for two to share at times, and garlic naan, chips, and a saucey beef karahi get individual mentions. Several reviewers call it the best Indian takeaway in Sunderland, and a few came on a family member's recommendation. One reviewer's account runs the other way: an all-in-one meal of curry, rice, and chips arrived with four chips, a spoonful of rice, and a carton of masala sauce, with no popadoms in an order of over fifty pounds. One customer's overpaid note, two stuck-together ten pound notes, was spotted by the shop, which rang to say so and sent a driver back with the money.

“Spent over £50 and didn’t even get any popadoms. I got an all in one meal (curry rice and chips) I got 4 chips in it and 1 spoon full rice, and a carton full of masala sauce. Absolutely disgusting waste of money and time.”
