Dilshad
222-224 Ocean Rd, South ShieldsFor nearly 30 years I've always gone to another nearby restaurant but when they were closed for refurbishment I tried Dilshad.
I've now visited twice - 2 months ago when there was a large group of us, and tonight for my son's birthday, and each time it has more than exceeded my expectations.
Firstly, the service is excellent. You are given a warm welcome and looked after for the duration of your stay. The staff genuinely go out of their way to make sure everything is to your satisfaction.
And secondly, the food is first rate. I had my favourite chicken madras and my son preferred chicken tikka masala. The chicken was tender and succulent and each dish was beautifully presented. The nan bread and starters were equally as good.
Other restaurants may at first appear to be slightly cheaper but will charge extra for certain things. E.g. for breast of chicken or tikka masala. None of that at Dilshad.
If you want beautifully cooked Indian food with very reasonable prices and excellent service why not try Dilshad? Hopefully this is now going to be my new favourite Indians for the next 30 years!

Mixed starter to share was absolutely incredible, such an array of flavours and a great was to taste a little bit of everything. For main I had the stir fried chicken with cashew nuts and my partner had the green curry with chicken. My dish was so delicious, the nuts really added to the flavours and the chicken was so tender, they were both served with the fluffiest rice. I ended with and ice cream and my husband a coffee.

Mio’s
299 Sunderland Rd, South ShieldsI had a wonderful breakfast experience at Mio’s in South Shields. I ordered the muffin with eggs Benedict and a cup of tea, and both were absolutely delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the hollandaise sauce was rich and flavorful. The service was amazing, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure everything was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back for more breakfasts at Mio’s. Highly recommended!

Greggs
15 King St, South ShieldsGreg's is Greg's after all, plenty of pasties and bickies, one good thing I can honestly say is the staff always remember what my drink is, so now do not need to ask. Perfect service, staff always smile. Keep it up. But please note that it can getvrealy busy so may not be able to sit down, and can get quite a queue, along as you don't mind a little wait.Vegetarian options: Vegan sausage rolls are a great alternative.Kid-friendliness: Great place to have snack before tea.Wheelchair accessibility: Large open door if you use walking stick/frame or mobility scooter. Not a problem whatsoever.

Quarry Lane Tandoori
142 Quarry Ln, South ShieldsWe placed our first order here last night on the back of a recommendation and were pleasently suprised! The food arrived promptly and Syed provided excellent recomendations over the phone. The flavours were outstanding, thanks to a perfect blend of fresh and dried spices. Generous portions of meat meant there was enough left overs for lunch the next day. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Redragon Chinese Fusion Restaurant
4 Burrow St, South ShieldsI don't usually leave reviews on a takeaway but I think everyone needs to hear about this hidden gem. Food arrived 40 mins before it was due and on good Friday. We were given free mini spring rolls and prawn crackers. The special fried rice was absolutely unreal. The soft noodles were perfect, not too greasy or salty as you sometimes find. The salt and pepper crispy beef was perfect. The honey chilli pork was really good, very crispy coating lovely sauce and not too much veg but the veg was crunchy and delicious. The mixed starter was great value and all items were lovely. Cannot fault this Chinese, very pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend.

However I was confused that they shut at 6pm as I would have liked to order the affogato for dessert. Google maps says they close at 7pm, which is probably why more people tried to enter but were turned away.

McDonald's
3/5 King St, South ShieldsSystems went down whilst ordering. Stood at the till watching 3 members of management team. Serve a lady I mean 3 and not one knew what to do. Anyway this young lady saved my day. She got my order and I was on my way. If it hadn't been for the young lady I probably would still be stood there waiting 7 days later. Food was horrible but the drink was lovely. Food was rock hard but to be fair I should probably be thankful that I got any. Husband was waiting outside at a table. His was so horrible he chucked it in a bin. Tray assistant was very helpful. And the toilets were very clean and smelt lovely on the top floor used the stairs.

Scoop and Bean
Sea Rd, South ShieldsSmall unassuming place that looks like an elongated conservatory just off the beach road. Stopped in for coffee before heading back home c.5 hour journey.I was surprised at how reasonable the prices were, certainly less than I’d expected. Service was excellent, a warm and genuine greeting from the lady working (didn’t catch a name). Sugar spooned into coffee behind the counter as it was made rather than relying on sachets at a separate station post-service which was another unexpected moment.Coffee itself was full flavoured and punchy - always a winner with me!Complimentary Biscoff for humans and doggy treats for the canines provided too.Conveniently located on the edge of the funfair and amusements, and opposite the park with the steam train and pond. Within easy reach of the beaches, landmarks including Herd Groyne, and car parks.I’d happily call in again when up that way.

Subway
6 Waterloo Vale, South ShieldsHad lunch here today. Was reasonably busy but we got served relatively quickly and there were plenty of empty tables to ‘eat in’ with no wait. Food tasted good but deducted 1 star because some of the food on display was a bit discoloured/dried up. Although the staff were avoiding using it they could have just easily removed it from the display in the first place.Restaurant and toilets were nice and clean. Would eat here again.

KFC
Chichester Rd, South ShieldsThe gravy megabox is always a great choice, while the chicken was tasty, one of the pieces was dry, but it made up for it by having the gravy. Keep in mind, the chicken is rarely dry, so It shouldn't be too much of an issue for anyone else.Parking: It is free for around 90 minutes which should be sufficient. And also has 2 instavolt E-Vehicle charger baysKid-friendliness: This restaurant has child meals, as well as seats that are appropriate for children.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has a button to automatically push the door open, as well as having a low+flat level ground, meaning that wheelchair users should have no issues with getting in and out of the business.
