Restaurants in Sunderland

Miller & Carter Sunderland

We visited Miller & Carter as a large group of 15 for\nmy daughters 18th birthday. We were made to feel very welcome, nothing was too much bother, the manager was very accommodating. We were served by waiter Dave who was just amazing! The whole service was seamless, he made everything look so easy. Meals came out quickly, we ate all together which can be difficult with such a large group, he was very attentive and made sure we all had an enjoyable experience. There were absolutely no issues at all. Food was delicious as always. So a huge thank you. That is what you call excellent customer service.

Wendy's Place

family lunch
We had a lovely time, from start to finish, to be honest it was a blessing in disguise, suited all of our tastes, food was freshly cooked, tastie, came out hot, everyone was happy, staff are chatty, friendly and supportive as had a few little ones with us.
It's a hidden little germ in Sunderland.
Worth a visit and value for money

Babaji

Today we dined at Babaji restaurant. The food was delightful, particularly the butter chicken and naan, which I would rate a perfect 10/10. The gobi manchurian was fantastic too. The service was excellent; Mr. Rayhan was very friendly and treated us like honored guests.

Yates - Sunderland

The staff here are amazing, kind and very accommodating, I was booked to have festive meal with family and friends but due to an unexpected family health issue and a very long wait in hospital, I missed my meal, when I eventually arrived 2½ hours later, these amazing staff made sure I got my meal and was fed which was beautiful food. I can't thank the staff enough for going out of their way on a very busy Saturday night x

Knowledge Restaurant

First time for me yesterday, grilled swordfish and garlic broccoli. Starter was amazing, had the tagliere. Absolutely delicious, cocktails were great too. Will definitely return.

Yuvraaj Restaurant

Had to leave a review as was very impressed last night with food and service. It was like a step back to the good old Indian days of old. The service speedy and friendly. The food great and special menu offered. After the meal the extra touches that all Indians used to do but have stopped was great to see A nice hot towel, ice cream and even a complimentary baileys ! Great stuff. These are the little extra things that make it stand out. Will deffo go back.

Dixy Chicken Pallion

I’ve had pizza from a lot of places, but there’s just something different about Dixy . The crust is always perfect — soft in the middle, just the right crunch on the edges — and the sauce tastes homemade. You can tell they actually care about what they’re serving.\n\nI usually go for the and every time it’s spot-on. The staff are always super friendly too — they remember me when I come in, which makes it feel kind of like a neighborhood spot rather than just another pizza place.\n\nIt’s become my go-to comfort food place. Nothing fancy, just really good pizza made by people who love what they do.

Latimers Seafood

I visited late on a Sunday afternoon but there was still a choice of prepacked sandwiches and rolls for me to chose from. I had a crab sandwich which was delicious, although I do prefer slightly thinner slices of bread. The pack included a paper serviette and a wet-wipe. I sat at one of the tables outside to eat, and had an Americano after which was also good. Latimers are very consistent with the quality of both their food and service. It's always a treat to go there, and worth the drive up.

Sorrento Restaurant

Our first time visiting and won’t be our last, a genuine warm welcome when we arrived, you’d think we were regulars! … The food was fantastic, our family had pizza and pasta, all were perfect, authentic tastes and very well presented, I’d recommend the speciality garlic bread as a starter, finished with fresh tomato bruschetta and rocket, it was exceptional! … the service was fast and the staff were personable and always smiling, this really feels like an honest place to visit, the owners and staff clearly have a passion for what they do, they should be so very proud, a truly lovely experience … also, a table of four with starters, mains and soft drinks came to just over £50, outstanding value for money!!

The Grange Hotel

Genuinely the best plate of food I’ve been served in a long time and I was not expecting it. Simple steak and chips but the chef (I was informed he was called George) clearly takes pride in his work and I couldn’t have been more satisfied by that or the service in general.

Angelo's Restaurant & Cocktails Bar

I am so glad I stumbled upon this place as it is right up there with the best restaurants I have even been to, and I have found my new go-to place for a delicious Italian meal.\n\nI wasn't expecting much, however I was wowed by the quality of the food. So many places "do" Italian, but they do it poorly. This place does it perfectly! What sets it apart from the likes of Pizza Express and Ask is the authenticity of the place and quality of the ingredients. The tomatoes have a "tomatoiness" and intensity of flavour to them, the olive oil is spot-on, the pesto is to die for, and the mushroom pizzas cooked to perfection. I would like to thank the waitress for the kindness and thoughtfulness in recognising that I don't like noisy environments, and she placed me in a table slightly round the corner. After I'd downed a glass of Pinot Grigio I really relaxed and actually enjoyed the atmosphere. As someone on the autism spectrum, I would never have thought I would be able to go into a crowded restaurant on a football matchday / Friday night and enjoy it, but seemingly I can! Anyway if you're in central Sunderland and looking for a decent Italian meal that's a cut above the rest, you really cannot go wrong with Angelo's. I found it to be quite miraculous!

Italian Kitchen

Booked a table for 2 the day before on just what we read on the reviews. And we weren't disappointed, the food was outstanding. Italian cuisine is my favourite and the crab ravioli was to die for, I also tried my wife's dish which was spaghetti carbonara which again was delicious ( very rich). Had the dishes with a side order of garlic bread with caramel onions.

Shandiz

Stunningly good food. We had never had Persian food before but the waitress was so helpful and the dishes we had were amazing. Really rich flavours, beautifully presented and very generous servings.

Spice Empire

Armon gave us fantastic suggestions for our dinner. Our party of 4 left impressed and satisfied. The chef is skilled and served us the best Indian food we’ve ever eaten.

The Hollymere

Got recommended by someone and it was not a disappointment!! The new staff is amazing so well done !! I heard a new manager has took over and shout out to her she’s got the place back up and running !! The food is amazing so hats off to the chefs .. I will tell my family and we will all come .. how do I book up ?

Motiraj Restaurant

First visit last night but won't be our last. Delicious curries and lovely interior. Young lads serving were great. Well priced too. Well situated for pre theatre dining.

Toby Carvery Barnes Park

Delicious carvery that was filled with quality food. Fresh and delicious, nice and hot. Wheelchair accessible and staff are willing to help with carrying plates and drinks if needed. Our server Kayley was friendly and helpful. Would recommend for a good Sunday lunch.

Oak Tree Farm - Dining & Carvery

Ellie greeted us as we entered, she was very friendly & explained our option's for breakfast. She was as always very professional. Every time we visit she’s always there with a smile on her face and even though she is busy, she always makes time to converse with us and make us feel welcome. She’s one of the reasons we return time & again. She’s an absolute asset to the company .

Alishaan By The Sea

the best Indian food in Sunderland, we order here every week and it's a step above other Indians in the area. always hot and fresh and the best service you can get. many thanks Marcus

The Prior

I attended a bingo drag night for my birthday and it was very fun. They brought me up for my birthday and got me a yoga bomb but understood how I can’t have them and gotten me a different drink

The Wessington Brewers Fayre

We visitd today to celebrate my Birthday with a nice meal. Lots of parking spaces and quite a few vacant tables.\nI got seved straight away by James who was very helpful and courteous and explained the different aspects of the menu as I had a voucher for my birthday. Everything sorted quickly.\nWe ofen dine here as the food is nice and th staff are great, I heartily reccommend it.

Chesters

Lovely place, went for a christening and couldn't fault it. Buffet was massive and Stewart was helpful from the time of booking all the way through to the end of the christening, will book again

Marcellos Ristorante

This is the best place in Sunderland for food, the owners and staff care about every customer that walks in the door
The food is amzing using the best Ingredients. They allways remember returning customer's.

Best wishes Paul James. ??

Fuzzy Ed's Fun House Ryhope

We went on a Tuesday and had the half rotisserie chicken with rice and gravy it came with little sweetcorn cornbread cubes which were lovely, we always enjoy the salad bar. The staff keep it very clean and I do sometimes wonder how this one is still open as always feels empty when we visit, but we know that we won’t have a bad meal if we go. I recommend downloading the app as lots of promos available with it

Simons Takeaway

Don’t know what the bad reviews are about ? I’ve went to this Chinese since I was a little girl and I would never go anywhere else. Phone staff is polite and so is desk staff. Phone is busy all the time because of how popular it is they don’t take I lt off the hook whenever I go in there it’s ringing straight away after each call. They deliver as quick as they can and always do their best. The food is beautiful and my go two order is house special curry egg fried rice chips and a portion of noodles and a can of Pepsi. Order this and you won’t be sorry?? chicken chowmein is also beautiful and 211c which is a tray with egg fried rice noodles and curry and u can get 211g which is the same but with gravy I’ll put a pic. The chicken doesn’t come with 211g or 211c btw) portions are big not “too small” I usually share one meal with me and my boyfriend and we still leave quite a lot. I love this place

Balti Express

Definitely glad I ordered from here, will be my new regular, I had the kebab pizza with a garlic dip and let me tell you that garlic sauce is honestly the best it’s unreal! Can’t wait for next week to have it again

Milanos Pizzeria

Tried for 1st time few weeks ago and whole family enjoyed it... Have ordered again since as kids loved the fact it had proper chicken on it not diced up. They loved the chicken curry pizza too. Wud definitely recommend the kebab box proper filling too...

Ming Garden

Ordered two meals to take away. They were ready when I arrived and were delicious. I had king prawn chop suey and my wife had chicken foo yung. There was too much for one meal so we’ll have the rest later.

Mariners Fish & Chips

Ordered a wrap and a spicy 12 inch stuff crust pizza, the wrap was chunky, the pizza was amazing, will reorder again no grease from the pizza, food delivered hot . This is 1 of the best pizzas around here. better than ravennas. Another day I ordered the mixed grill kebab (on naan) with chips and chilli sauce, the chips were chippy style chips , the kebab , top tip eat the chunks of chicken 1st to enable you to pick it up to eat, it looks small wrapped in the foil but when it's in your hands it's quite chunky . Update had another pizzas and decided to get a cheeseburger. Without salad, bit plain nothing special

Thorndale Tandoori

Our favourite place to order from
Everything fresh and hot on delivery
Delivery guys always friendly
They use proper chicken too in their dishes unlike some other takeaways
Would highly recommend

Aperitif restaurant

Super! Thanks to attentive service and food made an evening to remember. Lively atmosphere, especially beside a busy theatre next door, Seb was very accommodating and friendly. I had the Pollo Gamba with a side of vegetables and it was delicious.

The Good Apple Cafe

What a delightful place. I have wanted to come here for years and finally made it. Friendly and welcoming. Quick service. The soup was absolutely delicious. My children enjoyed milkshakes and hot chocolate and Marshmallows and cream. Lovely food options. Reasonable prices. Hope to come back again soon.

Port of Call

First time here since it opened. We anted somewhere to eat before a night POC was recommended by a colleague. Drinks what you expect to pay in a modern, vibrant bar (about £5.50 pint of lager depending on brand) - food priced range from £13 upwards. Great choice of food.\n\nI ordered steak sandwich and chips - perfect. The chips were homemade and to die for. Partner ordered katsu curry loaded fries. Decent portion sizes for both meals. However, many partner said he would not order the loaded fries again as they were served on paper and the cheese stuck some of the fries to the paper so he either couldn’t peel the fries/cheese \noff without making a mess or he accidentally tore the paper.\n\nFurthermore, there is not enough space between tables for push chairs and as we were sitting in the middle of the room, we were frequently interrupted in order to move our chairs in or stand ip and move aside to allow\nRoom for the pushchairs to pass through. Next time we’ll choose a table to the side.

Fausto Coffee

Great atmosphere, friendly staff that had excellent allergy awareness. Great customer service. Coffee was fantastic and the view was amazing! Will definitely be back again.

Victoria Inn

From the moment I've arrived until the sad moment we had to leave, our stay at Victoria Inn nothing short of perfection. I've stayed at many B&Bs over the years, but this one truly stands out as a hidden gem, and the glowing reviews are absolutely deserved.

Coffee @ The Bothy

I'm a regular returning customer to The Bothie, its always a pleasant experience. the staff are always really lovely and full of smiles and they make a damn good cup of coffee too! strongly recommend. no matter how busy they are there is always a chilled vibe in the shop.

Cafe Bungalow

Really nice local café. Staff were friendly, prices were reasonable and the food was up to standard.

The views from the cafe are great, giving it a good atmosphere. Would strongly recommend this to start your day right!

Biz-R

The coffee is lovely, not burnt and the service is amazing! There's seating inside and out and sometimes at busy times, you can struggle to find seating

Dietary restrictions: I have a dairy allergy and anytime I order food, the staff will double check with the kitchen if the food is safe

Costa Coffee

I just moved in Sunderland and this shop will be my favourite! I’ve got amazing gingerbread latte today and Barista who has served me today was very kind and welcoming. Thank You ?

The Wolsey

Proper pub I ordered a mixed grill which was absolutely huge but very delicious. Husband has the chicken curry and ate every scrap. Will definitely be back good food and reasonable prices A+

Little Italy

the food was absaloutley amazing, best pasta and pizza ive had in a long time, the staff were very friendly and the drinks were lush, it is a little pricey but honestly worth it, the place has a really cozy and unique vibe to it, only negative thing is that the seats weren't that comfy but other than that 10/10

The Stumble Inn

Excellent venue for live music. I only went to see the band so I could not rate the food. However I am sure it will be fine. The staff are very friendly, even suggested to buy a bottle of wine rather than a glass as it was cheaper. The clientele were also very amicable and made the atmosphere very welcoming. The sound from the band was also excellent so we all had a fantastic time and would definitely go back. Parking was also not a problem.

Village Cafe

Lovely to sit outside when it's warm /sunny. Food was generously portioned, chips were fried to perfection. Would have been nice to have some salad leaves within the panini as an addition (I had the chicken chilli and cheese).

Quite close to the main busy road/junction so quite loud and can smell petrol fumes from stationary qeueing traffic.

Overall still worth the stop for refresh/snack.

Costa Coffee

Great Costa outlet. Staff are fab, it has plenty of room, and it's in a nice location. There are also around 5 or 6 tables outside for nice days/dog owners/smokers.Vegetarian options: A handful of veggie-specific options are availableParking: Parking is free but can get crowded.

Pizza hot

Just ordered from here tonight my sister said was lovely that they had lamb kebab with my shop being busy today thought I give them a go lamb kebab indeed was lovely it fed 3 of us along with garlic bread with cheese mushrooms fantastic I will order again that pizza hot from diamond fisheries

Madasafish

Never been here for a while but very pleased we did. Ordered 2 x fish & chips, 1 x fish and curry chip butty with a battered sausage. Fish cooked fresh and it was very nice. It was huge with nice thin batter and not at all greasey. Lovely chips and my lad loved his curry chip butty & sausage. Nice big portion sizes. Definitely be back again.

Greggs

Greggs

Pleasantly surprised as first visit for a few years, great selection of shops, very busy being close to Xmas, ample parking nearbye but the bridges park is machine only, no app so can be gery busy when leaving. Would definitely return here.

Subway

After having a few bad experiences the last couple of times I've been in, today I was pleasantly surprised as Lesley was amazing, she was fast at serving, friendly and the sandwiches were worth eating unlike last time. Thank you Lesley.

ASDA Cafe

This store is open 24 hours, meaning you can always opt to miss the rush and go at a more quieter time! Can be quite handy at christmas, but can it can always be quite empty. It's a huge Asda compared to others, but it's big enough to move around. It does get busy but there are a LOT of check outs so you probably won't find yourself queueing for long at all! They have clothes and entertainment, not as big a selection as other Asda stores but there's still plenty to browse through. Asda don't have as many offers on as other stores, which is a shame, but it is competitively priced.

Bellissimo

Second time ordering, just to make sure my first experience wasn't a fluke and I'm very happy to say pizza lovely and hot also the chicken kebab was beautiful, full of flavour and not at all dry. Definitely recommend 10/10

Chilino's

Just been in Chilinos and it’s safe to say they have a new regular customer, food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced The staff was amazing, will be coming back again.

The Keel Lounge

Me and my wife have used the cafe twice wot a lovely place staff very friendly and helpful definitely would recommend it to family and friends visiting the area or and the other is lovely good choice.

Ravenna Pizza

Decent Pizza / Kebab shop on the outskirts of thd city..Shame my online order wasn't processed before I arrived at the shop to collect it even though I had paid for it online too...This was down to a Website issue apparently..The good was prepare while I waited a further 20 mins..!!

Tim Hortons

I really want Tim Hortons to thrive over here the way it does in Canada as it is literally the best coffee shop! However the staff here really do need to learn what a double double is, for the love of god I would be happy to come in and show them how to complete this simple task as it is wrong every single time

Bertos

Ordered the chicken tikka and ham and mushroom pizza with a side of the best chilli sauce ive ever had. \nGreat food, lovely friendly staff, will definitely be returning.
