Tried a few takeaways but nothing beats Indian Chef. We’ve ordered a few times & never disappointed. Food is always delicious & tasty whether it’s sweet & creamy, hot & spicy or even mild. Can’t fault it. Fab selection of food for the family & staff are always helpful. If there’s a wait, I know it’s because they are busy & it’s worth the wait, food is beautiful. Reasonably priced, cash only on collection & cash point nearby. Online orders accept card. Fab indian takeaway.

On the recommendation of a friend wife and I ordered a takeaway the other night from here. It was the worst Indian meal we have eaten in years , my wife's king prawns were like tadpoles and flavourless and my chilli masala was like a vestas boil in the bag from the eighty's gone wrong . The tandoori shashlik starter was hotter than my chilli main course ???. We were very disappointed and for nearly seventy pounds for our order very annoyed. We will never order from here again.I would recommend giving this Indian a very wide berth.

Chicken tikka massala absolutely swimming in ghee. Even with excess ghee drained off the sauce was overpowered with it and inedible.Chicken as hard as rocks and a weird texture.Lamb tikka starter and balti chips were decent.

Food ordered at 17:45. Advised that it would be it with us in one hour. Food turned up cold at 20:15. We will not be using this place again and cannot recommend it.

On numerous occasions I have had items from my order missing, only for me to find out when I arrive home. The food can be nice or it can be watered down and bland, depending on which chef is working. Staff are rude, unhelpful and do not like to accept blame, as I have found out when calling to inform staff that items from my order are missing. However, without doubt the biggest joke is the delivery price - £6.95 for delivery within Lanchester.

I've never seen such an incredibly customisable menu online, pretty much everything you can think of is an option (apart from coriander - guys why not add coriander too!)Oh also it tastes delicious!Parking: Plenty of parking space, it's LanchesterWheelchair accessibility: No stairs although given it does delivery and has nowhere to sit don't think many people with wheelchairs would go there
First and last time. Pathia tasted like tomato soup or passata with .over cooked chicken dropped into it. The description of hot/sweet/sour didnt fit the meal we ordered. Not like anything I have had at any Indian restaurant or takeaway. Not cheap either, we would have been better just going to south shields for a meal but thought we would give this a try. Not very good wish we hadnt bothered. Chicken went into the bin, jazzed up the sauce and put some prawns in, much better!

Have been wanting a decent curry for ages and have tried a few around. First time here and was all very good. However ordered "madras hot" and was very very hot. Hotter than any madras I ever had. I like heat so was OK but my partner likes a madras and said it was too hot. However I ate hers too and it was very nice

Ordered a takeaway for delivery through their website. Got confirmation that the order had been received and the money was taken from my card. About 5:15, I got a text telling me my order had been cancelled (no explanation why) and the card refunded. Rang the restaurant and was told it didn't open until 6pm and they hadn't even switched on the machines then - despite their website clearly stating that they open at 5pm on Fridays (see picture). Was told that if I still wanted my takeaway, I would have to either order it again online or by phone. I took my business elsewhere instead and will do so in future.

Absolutely superb take away. Butter chicken, Chicken Pasanda. Peshwari naan and fried rice were amazing!
