When we stay at Durham we always eat at Shaheens but yesterday the food was dry and we felt rushed as if they wanted us to leave as the restaurant was empty

Absolutely dreadful. Worst Indian restaurant we've been to. Curry totally bland and tasteless. All sauce and very little meat. Definitely would not recommend. Very dissatisfied.

Food was good. The curry could use more of the curry tangy flavour. The biggest downside of the dining experience was that we felt rushed. Staff constantly pushing us for orders, asking we finished eating and then the payment.

Ambience could be improved. Maybe some tablecloths, and one of those candle trays to keep the food hot. Also maybe some oranges to cleanse our palates at the end of the meal. And most important of all, some minty chocolates with the bill 😊

Our server was also the son’s owner and he was very personable and efficient. The menu was so extensive, there were many items new to us. He encouraged us to try new things which we did. Everything was well prepared and delicious.

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
