Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited Rani on Thursday gone after drinks and a catchup chinwag with office buddies from our Gateshead Architect days We had a gracious welcome from the Staff girls & guys, the girls dressed in nice butterfly headresses, and were shown to a nicely laid out...table. We had poppadoms with mixed sauces to start ( you have to, don’t you 😉), then Onion Bhaji for me…extra nice!) Of course we ordered Cobras, it goes so well with Indian food! ) Then because I adore Lamb, I ordered the Amritsari Gosht with a Keema Nan ( filled with lamb) and a Nuts pilao rice .,. Which was quite sweet but REALLY tasty! It was a great night and I would heartily recommend the Rani 👍More

Ordered a Chicken Tikka for my main dish Unfortunately there was only 3 pieces of chicken in the dish with 4 pieces of potato in the curry! However did mention afterwards to the server who kindly offered to speak to the chef and get me...extra 2/3 pieces of chicken but I’d already finished the dish. Will not be returning anytime soon.More

Really not sure what I'm missing here. Came with my son and went by trip advisor reviews. We both had chicken dishes, his had six pieces of chicken, mine had five. To me that is simply not enough for a curry dish. Was the curry...sauce nice? It was ok but I may have been put off by the five pieces of chicken. We had three drinks, two meals and £70 and 30 mins later were back on the street. As I say, judging by the other reviews we must have missed something but I really can't see whatMore

Visited Rani indian restaurant on Tuesday 14th November. We're 15 minutes late arriving due to transport problem but rang to advise. When we arrived restaurant was busy and were shown to a table in the back part of restaurant. Only one other table occupied and...room felt cold . Asked for heating and small heater put on which helped but still cool overall. The service from Mia the waitress was very good and made for a pleasant experience. The food was excellent with generous portions and enjoyed by all 4 of us. Will definitely return.More
