Shaheen's Durham

Great food, excellent service. One of our favourite restaurants in Durham

Food was fantastic, all 4 of us had different dishes and all were brilliant. Very busy and staff were great, very pleasant and attentive. Just round the corner from the cathedral where we went to a concert by candlelight.

Great food and excellent menu choice , service was good , waiters were polite but the whole dining experience was marred by a group of guys who were over the top in terms of rowdiness for the whole of the evening which in turn destroyed the ambience. The noise levels were such that it was difficult to hear my partner talk.

After reading reviews thought food was going to be better, left feeling disappointed othe indian restaurant are far better

Brilliant experience at Shaheen’s. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Really kind and friendly staff. The food is so vast in choice and portions but most importantly, the flavours are unique and memorable.

Table of 6. We were all really happy with food & the service. Will definitely be back.

This restaurant is absolutely spot on if you are a fan of authentic cuisine. Superb quality and service.

Amazing food and service as always. The staff remembered our drinks order from the last time we were there (which was our first time a few weeks ago) and even the chef came out to say hello too. Looking forward to returning, especially as this is one of a few in the area that serve vegan versions of their food. Amazing. Phill and Rachel.

Excellent front of house service, but only masks the bland food, tasteless gritty sauce, Jalfrezi,asked for Madras hot, was told it comes Madras hot but can make more spicy, never happened,wife had chicken tikka, very dry and tasteless and oily, save yourself a disappointing night out, Spice Tailor sauces much better.

first visit to shaheens food quick service brilliant even the owner had a chat git busy as we were leaving but no noise at all from other guests price very reasonable

Amazing devouring food! I ordered chicken roghan with dal makhni and it was heavenly. The restaurant staff is super friendly as well. Love this place. Highly recommended

A great place for a night out. Food was excellent as was the service. Great value with substantial servings. Staff were all friendly and nothing seemed to be too much. Highly recommended

The whole experience was brilliant. The food was amazing. Will go again when we next visit Durham

The warm and cosy atmosphere, friendly waiters, and excellent food made for a lovely dinner. I would definitely recommend Shaheens to anyone looking for a good Indian restaurant in Durham!

Great service and great food. The aubergine bhaji was a particular highlight.

Really really good meal, will definitely be going back soon!

Good portions quickly provided and reasonably priced - cheaper than many .

Delicious food, cooked and served with care. Traditional family restaurant.

Excellent visit, my partner is garlic intolerant, no problem the food was cooked very quickly to order and the taste and quality for both our meals was 1st class. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves INDIAN cuisine, we will certainly be visiting again. To top it all I had left my hat but a staff member chased me down the the road to reunite my head with the hat, what better service can you ask for.

Absolutely fabulous meal. A superb family run restaurant that serves amazing, tasty food. Staff were brilliant when seeking advice from their extensive menu. We will definitely return soon.

Lovely restaurant up by the cathedral & castle. Adham makes you very welcome & his mother who prepares all the food visits you to check everything is OK. Very tasty food & a highly recommended place to visit & eat at when in Durham.

Really friendly staff and the food was so good and well priced!

Best Indian in Durham - Food and service outstanding, will definitely be back

Second time dining here tonight and the experience was as good as the first. Great service, fantastic food and lovely relaxed atmosphere. We’ll be back!

From our curry club that goes to an individual Indian restaurant in Durham every month of the year I have to say this experience was exquisite, every part of the food was delicious and everyone was so happy with the service delivers. We highly recommend visiting shaheens for a different but very very good experience of Indian food.

The food was very good, the place was warm and welcoming, and the service was impeccable. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the city!

Fabulous food and fabulous staff will be back for more

Booking was straightforward..Very welcoming. Good food..Will definitely go back again.

Great food and very good service. A really enjoyable meal

We took my husbands parents here as they are staying with us. They are from the south and have only been to Durham once before so wanted to take them somewhere to show the best parts of Durham. I have been going here with my family for years, actually decades! We love the food here. As I’m a vegetarian, it’s good to have a range of really good dishes. We all have many dishes to choose from. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. It’s a very nice, relaxed atmosphere. Always worth a trip. I take all visitors here as it’s a guaranteed good meal. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and wonderful people! Hands down the best bhindi bhaji I've ever had.

Service excellent.Food of a very high quality would like to return when visiting Durham.Very accommodating to ensure food was suited to our requirements .Avery enjoyable meal.

Great food, and a pleasant atmosphere in the heart of Durham city: house wine is very drinkable, and a bargain as well. Good cauli and potato side dish.
