Restaurants in Sunderland

Miller & Carter Sunderland

Brilliant food for a price below what you’d expect (ie. Value for money) and our server Dave was lovely and very knowledgeable just like the last server we had whose name I’ve unfortunately forgotten!

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.

Italian Kitchen

Brilliant restaurant. Friendly staff, quick service and nice atmosphere and layout. The food is always delicious and very reasonable prices including a happy hours deal.

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

Angelo's Restaurant & Cocktails Bar

We turned up without a booking for a pre theatre meal. Am they were happy enough to accommodate us.

Very impressed with the service authentic Italian atmosphere an staff. Felt very welcome.

The pasta dishes were incredible. Amazing flavours an simply lovely.

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.

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.

Shandiz

I can't wait to come back here. The food was amazing, great portions, the lady looking after us was so lovely and really helpful with any questions about our order. Really enjoyed our visit and can't wait to return with my kids.

Sorrento Restaurant

Didn't book a table just turned up with my 3 daughters as a last minute plan. Staff was more than helpful getting us seated despite it being quote busy.
Food came out fresh and hot
It was absolutely beautiful
Price was fantastic for 4 meals plus drinks
Highly recommend this to all lovers of Italian food

Motiraj Restaurant

Just bumped into my friend from school who runs this place , his brother in the kitchen , absolutely first class food and a great experience, lots of love to Shaf and Raff for a great
time , namaste ❤️

Alishaan By The Sea

Decent sized portions. Good value for money. Quality of food ok. I was satisfied with the level of heat in terms of spice but would have liked a more sophisticated and wider range of flavours. Overall a place definitely worth visiting.

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.

Latimers Seafood

Incredible! I picked up tuna steaks and oysters today and was blown away by the quality. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully handled, and honestly a great value for the price. The tuna was top-notch and the oysters were perfect, clean, briny, and delicious. You can really tell they care about their product. This place is a gem and I’ll definitely be back!

Oak Tree Farm - Dining & Carvery

Came in for food today and was served by Eve who was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We had a carvery and a breakfast and they were both great. We will be back again

Toby Carvery Barnes Park

Visited Toby Carvery Barnes Park yesterday. Received a really genuine warm welcome. Restaurant was clean and tidy and had a nice atmosphere. We both ordered the carvery. The meal was delicious, good value, good quality food . Would definitely recommend. Thankyou.

The Wessington Brewers Fayre

I didn’t have food but come regularly with my partner and dad and always get great service especially from Eathan who to me from customer service background always goes the extra mile and is a credit to the company x

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

We haven't been for a few years and decided to visit yesterday. I have to say the food and service were amazing. We were a family of 7 and didn't wait too long for food. The place was busy and had a nice atmosphere. The burger was one of the best I've had in ages.

Chesters

Our first time eating here,and it won't be our last..Lovely Place,Lovely Staff and Lovely Food..What's Not To Like..Well Done Everybody,And We'll See You All Again,VERY SOON..?

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

Marcellos Ristorante

I went for a Valentine’s dinner here with my partner, was absolutely lovely. The food was amazing and staff were so lovely to us always interacting and friendly. Food was so quick and quality was just wow. Definitely back again

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

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

Chinese 2 Go

I have never read the reviews for Chinese to Go before but I have just read some of them and can't believe how negative some are. We have used this takeaway for about 6 years. We have ordered food when having other family members here and they have really enjoyed it. You can only rate by your experience that you have and I can honestly say we will be sticking with this Chinese takeaway. Service is nearly always quick and the staff are very pleasant. We can only speak as we find and be honest of our experience.

Balti Express

Great takeaway. We order the Thursdays and Sunday specials which is great value. The staff are friendly. The food is top notch and always warm and fresh. I would highly recommend the rices, chicken tikka and lamb tikka dishes and kebab.

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..!!

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.

Toby Carvery

Lovely carvery just what we needed after all the Christmas party leftovers were goneThe food was up to it's usual good standardThe staff allowance friendly even after a hectic Christmas period they all were smiling and happyThe atmosphere was quite quiet as it was between Christmas and New yearAs we like Toby carvery we were not disappointed and felt right at homeMost definitely recommend this Toby's if you are in this areaAll ways clean and tidy but some of the decorations need a bit of love and attentionVegetarian options: Not a vegetarian so don't look at that part of the menu but it does look like it has a fue things onDietary restrictions: Ask when you go in and also when you are ready to order you are asked again if you have any allergiesWheelchair accessibility: Yes it has disabled parking and wheelchair friendly access even for the carvery the space is wide enough and staff offer to come with you too hold your plate if you want

Little Italy

what a fantastic little find! Food was delicious, the staff were amazing. my son had his birthday today & they were lovely to him, he even got a big bar of chocolate as a present!
The owner is great, he is so funny, showed us a party trick that had everyone laughing.
will definitely be back & would 100% recommend to everyone!
thank you for a great night!

Shipwrights Hotel & Riverside Pub

Gorgeous food! I had the scampi and it was a huge portion, really tasty too. It was great value for money for 4 meals, the desserts were a really good price, good size.

It was really busy but quite loud but then it was Friday evening, lots of people just finished work.

We will be back.

The Hastings Hill

We had mum’s funeral here last week and we were given the best service from the moment we arrived to enquire whether they had availability. We had booked another place in Sunderland owned by a well known large company, we decided to ditch them as they were totally inflexible to our needs. Someone suggested this pub and we were so glad they had the availability in the Conservatory, we booked it straightaway (trying to get a good place to hold a Wake is so difficult in Sunderland). It was a very good decision. The buffet was great and the staff were friendly and helpful and the cost was extremely fair. This is a family owned pub (unlike our first choice), they were helpful and flexible to our needs. So a big thumbs up and a “Thank you” to this lovely pub. A special big “Thank you” to Louise and Lauren for looking after us and giving us a superb place to give our lovely mum the send off she deserved. You could do no better than go here for special occasions or even just a pub lunch. We will pay a visit in the not too distant future to sample their extremely extensive menu. We can highly recommend it.

The Jolly Sailor

lovely local pub full of friendly people, and friendly staff members would highly recommend visiting. Have a wide range of drinks and always a warm welcoming atmosphere.

The Steps

We went for a few Thursday evening drinks. We were made to feel so welcome by the manager and bar staff. We recently moved here, so got to know some of the locals too.

Nando's Sunderland

I was very happy with my experience at Nando’s the food was delightful and the waiter ismael was wonderful he helped me with the menu and his manners were amazing definitely will be back!!

Nazrul's Sonargow

Used this Indian for nearly 30 year! Absolutely unreal food and staff are always amazing. Best chicken madras about, big chunks of chicken. Highly recommend ☺️

Gills Golden Fry

Great service and friendly also excellent value for money and a lot for your money aswell no complaints what so ever! I’d recommend them over any around that area and once again a lot more food for your money and cheap too . Chips were proper chip shop chips ( not oven chips!) kabab meat nice and (plenty of it !) also was the chilli and garlic and pizza was nice aswell . Me and my fiancé got 2 pizzas 2 kabab meats 2 lots of chips separate in boxes with chilli and garlic on and including delivery came to £12 . How many other places around silksworth can offer you that?

The Good Apple Cafe

Gorgeous food lovely staff who dint mind my questions about the gluten free food. Iwas so impressed i rang my son to come and join me. Had the betroot and walnut gkuten free wrap with sweet french fries really nice.

Cafe Bungalow

Went here for breakfast on Christmas Eve morning.was seated straight away with an excellent view.I went for the XL breakfast that was cooked fresh and to perfection.will definitely be returning in the near future.

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.

Port of Call

Fantastic venue a bog verity of deshes all were amazing in taste and a very cool place to get in.We enjoyed as a family all appreciated the services and the taste of the several dishes.The restaurant incharge was a humble and amazing guy,very cooperative,the staff were also amazing.well done keep it up.

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.

The Wolsey

Popped in for lunch with my daughter , services was lovely the gentleman was very polite . Food was definitely justified on the price, we could barely finish our portions but it was absolutely delicious.

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.

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.

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

Often come here for late morning breakfast usually with my mam before doing some shopping, or if I stop by for a coffee and snack on the way home. Nice friendly staff. They bring my heated food over to me after I have sat down so its not cold by the time my drink is made. Nice easy parking right outside, so you don't get soaked if its raining.

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 ?

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.

Greggs

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.

Madasafish

Best Cheese Pattie & Chips I've ever had in a more than generous portion that would have been cheap at twice the price

Proprietor of the establishment could not have been more friendly.

The William Jameson - JD Wetherspoon

Great value had a roast dinner, it was nice cheap drinks too

Parking: 5 mins walk, blue badge parking across thecroad

Wheelchair accessibility: Mostly flat and space but 2 areas up or down stairs

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

Greggs

Recently updated store is far better for getting around. A lot more room for the tills, seating, options and just walking through without being in the way.
Staff as friendly as ever, no doubt more cheerful of the extra room.
Fridges have been updated also and you can find all the usual options.

The Cooper Rose - JD Wetherspoon

Staff pleasant and efficient, did not have to wait long for the meal to arrive.

Parking: Within about 500m from the location.

Kid-friendliness: All children welcome. Crayons ,colouring sheet available and quiz attached.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from front of site.

Greggs

This is the best Greggs I've ever been in by a mile. All of the staff are absolutely amazing and most of them know me personally considering I'm here nearly every night. Good thing is there's nearly always somebody that'll speak to me and there's not many places you'd get that I love it so much

Fletchers Fish & Chips

Great chips that's all I've ever had but would be good to put prices on board that's only thing negativeWheelchair accessibility: Wide enough to get 1 through the door and enough room inside

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

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.

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.

Subway

Lovely, friendly and helpful staff.All the usual Subway choices. I used to always grab a sub sandwich, until last week when I tried one of their wraps, was very tasty.I've had the BBQ chicken/Bacon and Chipotle Southwest, steak & cheese, recommend both. ?

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

Subway

Kyle was really pleasant and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. Did an amazing job of the sandwiches me and my gf had. I hope to get served by you again!
