Palanquin Indians Restaurant

Food was great, only thing is I don't like potatoes in my chicken vindaloo and it had some in, just seems like it's a filler. Other than that it was great

The Blue Olive Deli

We we staying in the area for work and fancied pizza. They were shut for dine-in so we got takeaway. Absolutely brilliant food, super reasonably priced too! The dough was chewy perfection, generous tipping and full of flavour. Will definitely visit again if we're ever back in the area! ?

Angelo's

We booked for a family members birthday, there were 7 adults, 3 children. Took a little while to get our drink order taken, but it was 5pm & was busy. The choice of food was amazing it was hard to pick. When the food came, it smelt amazing & tasted just as good. Between us, there were pizzas, pasta dishes, a chicken dish & a parmo. Not one complaint. Everything was absolutely beautiful, all plates cleared. Only problem, when it came to order desserts there was no chocolate fudge cake left or the biscoff cheesecake....waistline may not see it as a problem however ha. All the staff are very helpful & friendly. We even got the meet & thank the chef. We will definitely be back.

Coffee Connect shiney row

Popped in for a coffee. Was served by a lovely fella, who I think was the owner - very polite and helpful. Great coffee and lovely atmosphere … will be back. Cheers.

The Prospect Italian Bistro

We’ve been going for Sunday dinner for quite awhile on and off, staff are really friendly with the kids. There is never any complaints as far as the service and the food go a really nice pub/ restaurantKid-friendliness: They’re just so playful with the kids and they always offer sweets after the meal

Came to the burn for food, had a lovely meal, the service was amazing and quick. Food was lovely and came quick, stayed for karaoke disco night which created an amazing atmosphere

Star of Siam at The Highfield Hotel

What beautiful meal and night out,we tried the banquet for 4 and were not let down. Highly recommended. Staff very friendly and excellent service , even swapped a main course on the set menu for us . Definitely will be back .

Tasty House Chinese Takeaway and Delivery

Only tried here by off chance as my usual Chinese wasn't open tonight (monday), I'm pregnant and craving salt and pepper chips, I didn't want them to spicy, I called and they were very nice and asked me how I'd like them and they made them exactly. They were unreal!! Highly recommend and because of this I'll be ordering again!

Canton Diner Chinese Takeaway

Salt and pepper meals were fantastic, quality of the meat and the amount you get is fantastic and we also got free wings but the sauces on the meals have very little taste especially the satay sauce which was rather

Costa Coffee

The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the service quick.Vegetarian options: There were a decent amount of options in breakfast type sandwiches, paninis, sandwiches and cakes.

The White Lion

We came from TikTok but will come back for the food and hospitality.We cannot recommend this place highly enough, we had booked for food at 5pm on Mother’s Day when we arrived we heard that they stopped food at 4 but the kitchen had stayed open to serve us. The food was outstanding. The staff were so accommodating and genuinely lovely all with a smile on their faces.My husband and I both come from a background in hospitality and know that a good pub is hard to come by. But this place is incredible. After speaking with the landlady about the history of the pub and their recent success, and a lovely chat with Ryan (who very kindly brought out some hot sauce for my husband to try) we will 100% be back.The staff genuinely care about their customers and their experiences, and even with the rise due to TikTok they are still humble and genuine. The 40 minute journey was definitely worth it and we will be coming back for my husband birthday (all he wants is a Parmo ?)Thank you again for the amazing service!!

Greggs

Definitely the best bakery for choice of item's to choose from ..the chicken bakes are exceptionally tasty and the bavarian slices are absolutely mouth watering..yummy!!

Village Spice

Just the best Indians for miles The food is just delicious and always full of flavour ! Portions are awesome .. Great service great staff Always happy to help ?

Spicy China - Shiney Row

We normally eat from 3 different Chinese takeaways this being one of them the chicken and corn soup is first class and any chow mein our favourite being the beef but we also always have a portions of mushrooms and gravy with it this is enough between two of us. Chicken , beef or prawn chow mein are all very nice or you can mix them like we do sometimes. We have not tried any other food there because we like other Chinese food from different places service is fast and very friendly the prices are the same as all the other Chinese in the area we go there once every two to three weeks...Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and happy this a takeaway only .Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for wheelchair onto the main stree. Very good for a takeaway.

Deli-cious

Went in today for lunch and even though I was late and they had just closed and cleared - I was made possibly the best ham salad sandwich I can remember. Thick cut ham like you don't get anymore. Along with charming service.

Super Pizza

The best pizza in Sunderland if not in the U.K. Every time I go to Sunderland I must order from them as their pizza is so yummy I feel like I’m addicted to their pizza. I have always been served with respect and smile, never had any issue with them.

PANDA CHEF CHINESE TAKE AWAY- penshaw

Nicest chinese we've had in a while, got munchie box A&B both boxes full of chicken, prawns & everything else, all the food was piping hot & so fresh ? only down side is its a bit pricey(£20pp)... but you get what you pay for!Will be ordering again 5*

RIZQ FLAVOURS OF INDIA

Nice Indian takeaway that has good service. I would order of their own website or app as it was a lot cheaper and they sometimes have deals on.Mixed kebab starter and onion bahji that we had were brilliant with loads of flavour. Curries we got were nice but would have liked a little more flavour in them. Keema naan and peshwari naan were nice as well if just a slight bit dry.Would really recommend here for a great Indian curry.

Pizza Castle

Just moved to the area and we ordered in January and loved it , fast forward would couldn’t remember where we ordered from , so after few bad takeaways from others , I managed to find it again . Tonight’s food was lovely . Fresh pizza , garlic sauce that’s not watered down and fantastic fresh salad . This is my new fav place .

Torta Bello

Millan Tandoori

Best Indian in the area and beyond. Allways consistent which isn't easy to find to find an Indian takeaway that is. Staff can't do enough for you, allways go above and beyond.Chicken tikka jaipur is unreal, best peswari nan bread. Wouldn't go anywhere else

KJ BBQ House & Pizza

Often order from here, reasonable prices, foods fresh usually fast delivery too!.. mixed kebab has loads of meat in and the chicken is moist unlike a lot in the area. Can’t fault the staff and the owner works really

Magic Wok

Big portions for a great price. Very fresh vegetables. Nice and clean. Fast and friendly service. I am vegetarian and their vegetable chop suey is to die for. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Spicy Balti

I have been to this establishment many times before, but this time I was disappointed. I could honestly say the food did not taste of Methie ( sorry about the spelling ) the lamb was lacking flavour and very sparse. The staff were welcoming. It was a shame about the food.

Pizza Land

Pizza Dial

Really enjoyed the pizza it was fresh and delicious we shared a 12 inch between four of us and it was enough,with salad and dips,we only wondered wheres the lovely vinegar thar use to be on the fresh salad,but i still would recommend it to anyone.

Rivaaj - Tradition Of Spice

Ordered a 5 course and 7 course deal for tonight, absolutely delicious food, arrived bang on when they said it would, hot and fresh! No fresh coriander was requested for some dishes and was written on the lids for them, so overall absolutely fantastic! Will definitely be using again!

Golden Fry

Had fish + chips from this chippy this evening and they were very nice.The chips could have been done a little longer for my preference - browner - but lots of people would say they are burnt.Will return as the fish was lovely and it was £7.50 for a large one.

The Wild Boar - JD Wetherspoon

This has to be one of the best weatherspoons around the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is very friendly it always seems to be busy we have a plant based diet and they are always happy to adjust and accommodate our diet if you are passing call in you are assured of a warm friendly welcomeDietary restrictions: We are plant based and there are enough options to choose from and if you are struggling just ask the staff they will help you

Silver Grid

We tried The Silver Grid for the first time today, after just moving into the area. Really gorgeous fish and chips, and such a generous portion! The fish is cooked to order and has a beautiful flavour, the batter is light and crispy. Chips are perfect and plenty of them too! Our new favourite takeaway and would definitely recommend.

A Lo Chop Suey House

We've been using A LO for around 50 years! Yes, 50 years. Regular, but not frequent visits, we love the place. It's changed hands, but Dear old Kevin the previous owner still does a few shifts on the counter, it's always good to see him. We even remember Kevin's dad when he was boss back in The seventies.The food is still good. Chow mein & curry are our favourites.

Ques Pizza

My neighbourhood takeaway, friendly and quick service.Love their Master burger, but this has started to reduce in size/quantity.Doesn't have space to dinein hence 3 stars for atmosphere.

Subway

Do i need to say more than 5 stars yeah they were packed and had yo open the doors because of condensation but the staff were there to please their customers compared to some of the other subways ive been in just after their customers money and messing up orders they stand and listen to any and every order il be there this week for thirds this time for deffo

Pizza Box

Not often an eatery is named after what they serve the food in, this place and my local chinese "Tin Foil Tray" are the exceptions. Decent enough scran, would recommend.

Pizza Box Shiney Row

Food is nice 99% of the time, prices are creeping up but so is everywhere else. I love the chicken melt meals but can be a bit sloppy at times, I think the person who makes them got a bit over excited with the mayo on a couple of occasions

Pizza Corner

Nice food and friendly staff. The only thing which I'd complain about is sometimes the chips are really greasy like they have been left in the oil or recooked or something. But apart from that it's lovely jubly.
