With a minutes walk the furthest away you would have to walk. This place is lovely and my favourite Indian food in Newcastle/the coast that I have found so far. The food is very tasty and seems very clean. Prices are standard as to what you pay anywhere a selection of beers ,wines and spirits. The staff are very friendly and nice. They do takeaway which is good as takdir is a restaurant first and then a takeaway so its standard s are a lot higher than a just a take away. They have won awards for there food and it is highly recommend you go and try it.

The service is outstanding, since all waiters would pay appreciated attention to our tables. The quantities were great, especially for big eater : a very good deal regarding the prices ! The cheese nans weren't extraordinary, but the tandoori garlic moglai and the sizzling salmon sided with fried rice and onions were tasty with a smooth and mild spicyness. We ended the meal with a big smile and full stomach !

Even as a person who doesn't particularly like Indian food, I quite enjoyed my meal. The food was up to a good standard.

I will definitely be going again!

The take away menu is available online which i found out when we lost our paper version, this recieves bonus points with me. As i said the choice is amazing and all the indian favourites are on there. The staff are very helpfull too and will make something for you if its not on the menu eg: they alwyas removed my chicked tandoori from the bone for me. My favourites though are the garlic naan breads which always arrive piping hot (along with everything else) and dripping in tasty garlic. The service is quick too.

So we thought we'd give it a try based on the reviews here. What a pleasant surprise. We received a warm welcome, we hadn't booked a table, but were shown straight to a table. It was quite busy considering it was only 7:15pm. As Curryholics, we thought we'd try something a little different, so we had Poppadoms, then the Mixed Platter to start, followed by the Agni Karai, Lamb Matka and a Cheese & Garlic Nan. The food was superb. Both are medium dishes with lots of flavour & just the right amount of kick!! The bill came to £37, including drinks, so overall it was good value. The service was welcoming, friendly & helpful. Will definitely be back.

Its…read morelocated on the A66 dual carriageway between Darlington & Stockton and is very isolated, apart from the petrol station it sits next to there is nothing else around for a couple of miles so the downfall for me is I have to drive as its out of town and a little too far for a taxi. Obviously driving means no drinking so therefore even thou this is my favourite I don't manage to get there as often as I would like. The guys who run this place are not local and commute a couple of hundred miles each day and because of this they seem to put maximum effort into making your visit well worth while. Food is good (better than average) Service is 100% Decor is OK but but nothing fantastic Overall - very enjoyable and worth while

Had to pay extra for the naan and rice; the naan was good (not great) - I loved how this huge piece the piece of naan was though. The rice was...well...rice. It wasn't that great either. Service was terrible; we sat around waiting for our bill for the longest time, but hardly any person came around to check on us. Overall, I would not come back again, and I think I would prefer a place that didn't play Chainsmokers in a really awesome, high-ceilinged dining room. Bold naan. Bland chicken. Bad service.

We had a bus and then a train to catch later that night, so we ate at around 5:30, when the restaurant first opened. At the front of the restaurant was a full bar, and in the back was the main dining room. We were the only customers there, at that time, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. The waiters were there when you needed them, and the ambiance, a softly lit kind of orange-toned-soft-wall kind of place, was enjoyable. Occasionally people would stop by and get take-away, and the restaurant seemed to readily accommodate this. What really set this place apart was its food. My friend ordered what I would discover was the best daal I've ever had in my entire life. She had it with a plain pilau and a garlic naan, and both were very satisfying. I ordered a lamb curry, which was a perfect mix of spicy and meaty, and it came in a reasonable portion. I also had an incredible nut pilau, which was flavored with saffron and crisped onions and cashews. Delicious delicious delicious. If you're ever in the area, I do recommend stopping by. This restaurant is absolutely worth it.
