Visited for the first time this evening and, despite booking at the last minute, they kindly managed to squeeze us in. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was exceptional, without a doubt one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The entire experience was fantastic, and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We’ll definitely be back! Incredible value for money and big shout out to our server Rayhan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Booked week in advance for my daughters birthday meal at a designated table arrived on time to be told table been taken by someone else ( brilliant )
Took the only table right next to bar / kitchen / and huge music speaker no the wonder it was a empty table, if you get offered this table don’t bother, unless you want to feel your in the kitchen and bar as you will leave with a headache from the waiter smashing and cleaning his knives and forks
Apart from the above, food was quality staff were really nice

Popped in by myself for breakfast after a walk down from Whitburn. Beautiful decor with a lovely menu. Ordered full English and it came freshly cooked. Delicious. Staff really friendly, and it has a really nice atmosphere with obvious regulars. I sat reading and they didn't hover to hurry me out. I shall return

Had a really lovely experience here. The food and atmosphere were great, but I especially want to mention Amber, who was amazing throughout. She was so friendly, welcoming and made the whole experience even better.

Amber is a credit to the restaurant and I’m sure she has a great future ahead of her there. Definitely deserves some recognition — thank you Amber! ??

Yuvraaj Restaurant

Visited last night for the first time - was impressed with customer service, treat like people not just numbers. Very welcoming however there were a few issues that need addressing Firstly my husband and I had decided before arriving that we weren’t going to get starters - we always do this when go for Indian food and by the time the curry arrives we are too full so we decided to order popadoms as a little appetiser instead. We ordered but weren’t asked how many (some places just have a standard portion so didn’t think much of this) and when they were served there were 6 popadoms and 2 pickle trays, far too much for 2 people. We didn’t eat them all I ordered a prawn bhuna which I always get and honestly it was very bland. On the menu there was one chilli beside the bhuna to indicate strength of spice but there was no spice in it at all. I did mention this when our plates were cleared and the waiter was interested in my opinion. It wasn’t offensive in any way just a bit bland. Anyway when the bill came we’d been charged over £13 for the popadoms which is ridiculous but as the staff had packaged up the leftover ones for us we decided to just pay although we weren’t happy about it. For this reason I didn’t leave a tip as I felt we’d been scammed a little and it left a bad taste. While driving home my husband had 2 missed calls and it turned out to be the restuarant saying they’d overcharged us by £3 and they were sorry - we told them to just keep that as a tip and the reason we didn’t leave one in the first place. This is why I’m still recommending as they did try to resolve but based on what we experienced I doubt we will return, sorry

Hands down THE BEST Indian restaurant in Sunderland! When we rang my boyfriend mentioned I'm vegan & they said they had special dishes which was great I requested a curry sauce with no veg or anything they made it without any problem they made it spicer for me as I mentioned i like spice but madrass is sometimes too hot. They even used a different pan when cooking my food because im vegan. They were very knowledgeable and nothing was too much fuss. The restaurant is incredibly clean which I loved our food was tasty fresh and hot! Usman in particular was fantastic super friendly. I've been to other restaurants and found meat in my food which was incredibly distressing. After tonight there's only one Indians I'll go to going forward! 10/10 usman and the team thank you for a brilliant night we will 100% be back!

Had our mothers wake at the shipwrights in the upstairs room. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day! From the room to the food and not to forget the brilliant staff. Michelle did a great job of the organising. She was very attentive and nothing was a bother. Kayleigh behind the bar, worked her socks off. Everyone who attended the wake said how lovely and plentiful the food was and how reasonably priced it was. Thanks for a day that went without fault.

It was a wet Sunday and we hadn't booked so decided to try this place out. Its a big pub, lots of seating and a big menu which is order at the bar.

I had the smaller bites menu, jacket potato with bbq pork and a side salad. It arrived and was hot, it was nice, not sure I would have it again because of the cheese sauce but that's personal choice, the salad was nice, lots of different items in.

We would come again for a reasonably priced, tasty quick bite.
