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.

We’ve been here a few times and it is always delicious. They have a large range of vegetarian dishes which we are working our way through. The staff are really friendly and helpful. One day we might leave room for dessert!

This was our first time at this restaurant. We went with friends and had the most amazing experience. One couldn't fault the food, the service, the friendliness & helpfulness of the staff. The prices were reasonable and it was probably one of the best Indian...meals we've ever had. The menu was a bit different too. As my husband suffers from some food intolerances the menu helpfully listed what was vegan, gluten free etc. We will be back!More

Every time we visit this restaurant the food and service are excellent! The menu offers choices that you don’t see in other restaurants (as well as familiar dishes). The food is always fresh and well presented. You feel like you are eating a ‘special’ meal....The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. We arranged to celebrate our son’s 21st here. The venue could not have been better. We were given a large table at the back of the restaurant- this made it feel like a private party. Despite being a large group of 13, all of the food arrived together. It was gorgeous , hot and freshly prepared. Our guests commented on how efficient staff were. It’s great to have a restaurant where you can have a nice celebration or a family ‘tea’ . Thanks to all the staff.More

Came here with my mother for dinner on a Sunday night. It was quite quiet but there were a few other diners so not noticeably lacking in atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the service was efficient. The food was excellent, and...very nicely presented. The waitress offered a couple of recommendations though we opted for something else in the end! I am vegetarian so it's lovely to have plenty of options! We had onion bhaji and spicy cauliflower to start, followed by palak paneer and aubergine and lentil curry. They were absolutely delicious, though the portions were definitely too much for us 🥴 Very reasonably priced too! Will definitely be back next time I'm visiting family in Whitley.More

Still the best Indian restaurant in Whitley Bay, possibly North Tyneside. The South Indian food on the menu is just a little bit different to the bog standard grub in most other Indian restaurants around. And there’s plenty of choice. The food is all beautifully...cooked, the service is always excellent and there’s a nice cosy feel to the ambience. It always feels homely and welcoming. Top marks. Thanks again!More
