Shaheen's Durham

No flavour to the food very bland and poor hospitality

Great service, fantastic food, will definitely go back again, well recommended!

Brilliant food and brilliant service. I would recommend here to anyone visiting Durham. One of the nicest Indian restaurants I’ve been to

Lovely food. Very nice people who make and serve us. Not expensive. Will go again. definitely.great place

Early evening meal, so restaurant was quiet, but gradually filled by the time we left. The food was delicious and the service very good.

Very friendly and excellent food. Would recommend as it’s the best restaurant in Durham.

The food was lovely and the vegetarian dishes in particular had a nice variety of vegetables and were very tasty.

Very attentive waiter who offered good input and recommendations for our choice of starters and mains and made us feel very welcome.

Fantastic food, fabulous service, very comfortable setting, this was an absolutely fabulous experience, dining at its best.

we have eaten in many indian, bangladeshi and nepalese restaurants, but have to say that the chicken jalfrezi and prawn madras were the best curries we have ever had. Will definitely go back 10 out of 10

Great food and amazing staff. One of the best Indian meals I’ve had for ages

Amazing food. Relaxed experience . Really nice and chilled venue. Thank you!

Fabulous food and service was excellent. Will definitely return next time we are in Durham

Lovely little restaurant, with great food. Owner had just the right level of customer service, polite, personal and attentive. Would highly recommend.

An amazing meal with great service. I will be heading back soon.

Great service. Great food. Would recommend very highly and will come back again.

Great food and service, however menu in window does not show actually prices in the restaurant, are shown as lower!

Outstanding! The range of the menu was really exciting. The taste and flavour absolutely brilliant. The ambience, welcome and service made for a very memorable occasion. Many, many thanks!

Visited with my partner for my birthday celebrations. The food was so delicious. And the value for money was great! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thanks for the birthday gift of a shot from our lovely waiter. :)

Really happy with everything, food was amazing and service impeccable.

Never disappointed with our food here. Always delicious, with excellent service.

Food was lovely , very friendly, relaxed atmosphere with excellent service

Lovely food. Portions spot on. Very friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

The food was fantastic and the service from the owner and his wife just excellent. We also had a good chat with him which added to the evening. Definitely worth a visit to enjoy great food and company.

Very good food and good service . Nice ambiance. Good menu

Great food, nice friendly staff. Would recommend and will return.

Excellent service and authentic dishes. Plenty of choice and cooked to your preference for heat/spice. Great value too. Highly recommend when in city centre.

A first visit for our youngest boy who really enjoyed his balti. Of course, his brother and I very much enjoyed our food, as usual!

It is always a pleasure and delight to dine here. The team at Shaheen’s always go the extra mile to ensure you have a great experience with great food. I like the personalised recommendations in particular, which are highly valuable and introduced me to the amazing Kashmiri Malayan dish, for example.

Tasty food, great service and good value, really enjoyed it.

The gentleman that served us was very nice and friendly. Food came quickly and was delicious

Warm welcome, prompt service , felt as though our business was appreciated, food was excellent, would recommend, it is a cosy , un-pretentious restaurant but that is what we particularly liked

Always great quality meal at a reasonable price. Excellent little restaurant.

Starters were tasty / mains disappointing asked for level ‘hot’ in spiciness and didn’t deliver (was given extra chillis as a side dish to spice it up!) not good - won’t be returning Staff not friendly at all so didn’t add to the experience - will try a different restaurant next time!

Food was tasteless and bland. The food can be cooked as mild, medium or hot. My husband chose hot but it’s only the sauce that was hot. The lamb just tasted like braised lamb as it had certainly not been marinated first. This was our first and last visit. We will stick with The Capital if eating Indian in Durham City as this never fails!

We love Shaheen’s. Has the family feel, unlike the corporate conveyor belt, chain restaurants. Food is very good.

Food above average but waiter was very morose and hardly welcoming - no place setting for customers with cutlery ‘plonked’ on the table before the food arrived. The restaurant had no atmosphere which is a shame as the food is good.

Really lovely restaurant.friendly staff.beautiful food.my son an I loved it.thank si much

Overall experience was wonderful. Took some visiting vegan friends and weren't disappointed! For price, it would have been nice to have slightly larger portions of rice. This being said, the quality of the food was great

Lovely staff and food. Very good service and food came very quickly which was good.

Lovely visit last night food was delicious and the staff are so friendly and kind 😊 Yes we will be back

I had tika chicken dupiaza and it was one of the best I have ever had. The flavours was outstanding it just sent your taste buds into orbit.

Great, calm environment for a very enjoyable meal and great food and service

Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere! Will definitely recommend to friends

Took my daughter and her boyfriend delicious food great service.

Fantastic! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

Very tasty food made from fresh ingredients including herbs and spices to give a more authentic taste. I look forward to visiting again.

Very good food & service. Will go again some time

Staff and atmosphere were good, it was very busy but food was served quickly. Food was ok but not exceptional.

First time visit would go again. Very good staff, friendly and attentive
