SHAHEEN'S INDIAN REVIEWS
Wonderful! Thank you not just for the food but for the lovely service and the willingness to adjust food to our taste. As an example- my Wife likes her onion bhaji with quite well cooked onions- no problem! Price-wise this was genuine value- pickles, popadums, starters, mains, parathas and a side together with drinks for less than £60.00. Thank you- we will return!
Alongside several other musical friends, I hit the place for an early doors tea on Saturday before heading to the cathedral to perform some Haydn and Mozart. I scored the chicken tikka tandoori sizzler, a slab of keema naan and a bottle of health restoring Cobra beer. We all heartily agreed that the grub was top drawer. We visited on the instructions of our female colleague who'd done her online research and noticed the restaurant scored highly, and rightly so too. Service was friendly, down to earth and swift enough (the place was fairly quiet at this time) and my platter was loaded with cooked-bang-on chicken. If you seek ace curry: go to Shaheen.
From the moment we arrived we were taken care of, nothing was to much trouble. The staff had a great knowledge of the menu, and helped us with our choice...and there are many!!! All the dishes are designed to suit everyone's palate. And the food didn't disappoint, very tasty, large portions and reasonably priced. We would highly recommend and on our next visit to Durham will return.

THE SPICE LOUNGE REVIEWS
Me and my partner were looking for somewhere to eat on a Sunday and we came across the little place, I am glad we didn't keep on walking. It was really nice inside and I felt a little under dressed haha. The food was amazing really tasty and looked amazing too. Really good portions and good selections of drinks, The staff were really nice and friendly and the price was good too. Will definitely go back there when we next go back up north.
Absolutely in the top 5 Indian meals I've had in my lifetime! I had the Thali non veg which for those who have never tried Thali is a selection of different meat curries in individual pots also rice and nan served like a platter. The food here is stunning, particularly the chicken tikka massala part of the dish. Located down an alley way off the market square in the corner, I urge you to seek this place out. By the way my partner had the lamb Bhuna and caramelised onion special rice which she said was incredible..100 percent recommended!!! Thumbs up if you visit and agree.
One of our favourite Indian restaurants,and we visit alot around the country. Be sure to book or you run the risk of not getting a table. Food is great and staff are very friendly.
