We were a business group of eight arriving after 9pm but had hoped to have the Thursday night buffet - no chance, buffet finished. The food we ordered was superb and beautifully presented but it took ages to arrive, not all the meals came at the same time, rice was late and staff were continually tardy with drinks orders although... more

Have eaten alot in Teza and have eaten in India itself; a restaurant that has a window into the kitchen is a good sign generally. The more rural real Indian restaurants have the kitchen open to view; not always a good thing mind! Teza's food is consistently spiced to perfection; I've not had a duff meal once. The service has... more

This could have been so good. There has been a huge amount of effort in the furnishings and it is a modern well presented restaurant. The food however is terrible. We visited on Saturday and opted for the two course lunch special. Both starting with Onion Bhajis, which we thought were passably okay, cetainly nothing exceptional. I then had Chicken... more

I had the misfortune to visit Teza a few months ago, after walking by on many occasions and wondering what it would be like. The restaurant is in a prime location (if you can call anywhere on Botchergate “prime”!) and is well presented – clean, trendy and pretty flashy. However that is where the good points end.

However the food was discusting, it was certainly not authentic indian and the spices seemed to have been added with a trowel, it seemed to have been made by someone not familiar with making Indian food trying to... more

We have eaten at Teza on many occasions and the standard has always been very high. The variety and quality of regional but modern Indian dishes is superb. At the moment if order before 7pm you get your starter free - and there are some very tasty starters. The cocktails are also the best in Carlisle by far using proper... more

Teza introduced modern Indian food to Carlisle and a few years on it's still going strong. The food is fabulous and isn't just your usual madras, korma, rogan josh etc. It's a big, bright modern space with no flock wallpaper in sight. It's as far removed from a traditional Indian restaurant as you can imagine. Service is excellent and friendly.... more

I've been here a couple of times and each time the food and service have been excellent. It is a little bit more expensive but well worth it. more
