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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My friend and I took another friend out to celebrate her birthday. We didn’t tell her where we were taking her so it was a surprise for her. She was delighted with our choice of venue. We were greeted warmly on arrival. The place was...warm and beautifully clean, with lovely white tablecloths and napkins. The meal we chose was absolutely delicious. I would recommend the buttered chicken to anyone who doesn’t care for hot, spicy food. It was rich in flavour but otherwise mild. I loved it. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and can’t wait to go back again taking their husbands next time.More

Zamorins was welcoming as we went in, courteous and friendly. The ambience was warm and clean with immaculate table linen and settings. The meal was excellent: fresh and hot with professional presentation - delicious and generous portions.

A menu that was a bit different. Perfect, attentive service. Fantastic food. Highly recommended. We loved it! After a holiday in India, it reminded us of our favourite part: the south.

Great family meal. Warm welcome, attentive service and the best Indian food in Whitley Bay. It couldn’t be faulted and our daughters father in law, visiting from France, declared it the best Indian food he’d ever tasted. Wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend.

Have visited here a few times recently - staff always friendly and welcoming. Started with some popadoms and pickles including there home made hot lemon pickle. Delicious. I had a chicken madrasi main, my wife chicken with spinach and lentils and our friend from Oz,...a beef curry with coconut. All good, this is a gem of a restaurant with a little different twist on the menus being South Indian. Look forward to our next visit.More

Ordered a takeaway - with a pleasant 20% off. Good start. I've been before 'in person' so had high hopes. However I was disappointed. The started (samosa) was all chopped up and quite dry. Would have preferred a full samosa. In the restaurant fresh this...probably works, but not for takeaway - makes the pastry soggy. The main was fine. Not amazing, but fine. The naan however was poor. More like a paratha.More

Our favourite Indian restaurant, clean and comfortable, always lovely welcome from Nebu , all staff friendly providing excellent service. Food is amazing, and just a bit different from the other Indian restaurants in Whitley. Love the paneer starter, and definitely recommend lamb staff curry ,...actually we have pretty much had every thing on the menu and it’s all fabulous. If you haven’t been you should definitely give yourself a treat. Quality excellent and reasonably priced.More

Best meal ever! This was by far the best Massala I’ve ever had. Me and my partner visited Zamorins for the first time this evening after reading the fantastic reviews and I have to say it did not disappoint. The staff were so friendly and...helpful from the minute we arrived and the food was beautiful. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back!More

We previously visited in February 2022 and in my review I said if we were in Whitley Bay again we would definitely visit. My husband and I and our friends have just returned so we had to go back to Zamorins and our meal was...equally delicious. All the food was lovely but again the Cauli 65 was all our favourite, it was full of delicious flavour. The staff are all friendly and helpful.More

Reviewed 16 July 2023

We’ve eaten in the restaurant a few times now and used as a takeaway too. It’s a limited menu, but perhaps for a good reason. All meals are delicious, relatively light for such cuisine and fresh. I do have one criticism, however. The takeaway menu...offers a 20% discount or the option to pay full restaurant price and receive free delivery. That’s okay if your bill totals say £20-£30. My gross bill was a few pennies shy of £150. That meant collect it at a price of £120 or, in effect, pay £30 for a one and a half mile delivery. Please look at this policy. I really didn’t want to collect, but I couldn’t let myself pay such a ridiculous amount for delivery.More

Mixed opinion here. We ordered a takeout of mixed starter plus fish pakora. The mixed starter had possibly been overcooked the day before and reheated, the fish pakora seemed to have been overcooked in old oil - disgusting. A main course of a lamb curry...was however fantastic, tender meat with a really delicate sauce. Such a contradiction.More
