Delicious food, and great service. Would recommend and will return
Great food and service. Would definitely recommend. Would go again
First time trying the restruant as some reviews were a bit mixed but I found the food ok and staff pleasant so that Nate did a nice meal.
The food was OK, a bit oily and nowhere near spicy but I have certainly had worse food for that money.
Everything was good. Nice lady owner. Clean and reasonably priced.
Went due to recommendations and wasn't disappointed! Lovely food and great friendly service, well worth a look if you're in Durham and fancy a curry!
Food was stunning!! Will be back! Amazing service, lovely atmosphere
Great service and tasty food. Absolutely recommend and I will visit again!
Food was very good and service excellent, staff were so polite and funny too
The food was really nice and the staff were so friendly. The food portions were just right. The starters we had were the best we have ever had. I couldn’t recommend Shaheens enough.
Love Shaheens, best Indian in Durham by far! I go here every time family visits, they love it.
This is a great restaurant Food is excellent We are frequent visitors
As always, fantastic food and lovely knowledgable staff. That's why we keep going back!
Food was amazing, freshly prepared and tasty, would highly recommend
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
happy welcome from attentive staff, with rapid service; food good
Really lovely meal at Shaheen's. Impeccable service and delicious food.
Disappointed, bhajis not cooked fully, curry no flavour and dryparatha wasnt a paratha should be flaky, only good thing was the papadoms.
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.
Fantastic menu, great food, we both went for different Balti choices, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent restaurant. Brilliant food and amazing staff. Thanks very much.
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.
Lovely staff and amazing food definitely well worth a visit
Fantastic food and great service. We’ll be coming back for sure.
Great food and lovely staff. Our go to Indian in Durham.
Food was really great and not greasy at all. Superb.
It was the poorest Indian food we’ve had , wouldn’t return.
Service from Adnan and food always excellent. Thank you again
We really enjoyed our visit to Shaheens, the food was delicious and the waiter was really friendly, helpful and recommended some lovely dishes for us to try! Will definitely recommend and would love to go back.
Food was so so tasty and staff super friendly! A must go to restaurant
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 😊
A consistently amazing experience! Shaheens is the number one go to restaurant in Durham!
The food was excellent, very friendly staff. Highly recommended if you are looking for a not too overcrowded place.
Good food good service this is my strong hand fantastic
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.
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
