Cafe Interlude in County Durham

Didn't expect a lovely Indian eat in and take away in the middle of an industrial estate, service was friendly, price was reasonable. Got a chicken Madras.. hot tastey and about 7 pieces of chicken. The Madras was more orange than what I normally get from other places but tasted nice.

Brilliant home cooked full english breakfast served by the friendliest staff I've been a few times and would highly recommend going. Spotlessly clean, bright and airy little cafe tucked away on the industrial estate, right beside the driving test centre.

Ordered via Uber eats, latest delivery time given was 20:05, after three phone calls it arrived at 20:55. Due to a medical condition, I can't eat after 9pm, so quickly wolfed a few bites down while I still could.Food was not great, paratha and puri were bland, chicken Tikka masala ok but nothing to write home about and certainly not worth waiting almost two hours for.

Ordered food last night through Ubereats, delivery over an hour late, and food cold no apology when it did eventually arrive. Tried calling during the wait over a dozen times but phone not answered. Very disappointed indeed

Called in for a quick coffee. Cafe sort of hidden from main road through industrial estate. Beautifully presented with crisp tablecloths & bright & light due to large windows. Nice selection of cakes & scones in display cabinet. Lady behind counter was very friendly & good service. Operates as lndian restaurant at night so may well come back & try.

Ordered a takeaway tonight, food was lovely but waited at least 20 mins more than the delivery time stated, which happens every time. Missing some popadoms and the delivery driver said they would go back to the restaurant and be straight back, only to never return. Very disappointed in the customer service.

Me and my wife Margaret have been tonight staff from getting their fantastic food very good and tasty I had lamb for my main absolutely delicious never used a knife the fork I had just went through it like a hot knife through butter definitely going back would highly recommend this restaurant

Service was brilliant. Food was outstanding. I has chefs special garlic grilled king prawns. They were divine. Forgot to take photos as we were hungry by the time we got there so tucked straight in.

Been tonight for a meal, as always meal was great and I must say they make the best Bombay Potatoes I've ever had, lush.. we also had a lovely conversation with the owner, what a lovely man.. please give this take away a go.. or even better pay the restaurant a visit.. we will be back 👏👏👏

UPDATED REVIEW...Back for a second visit.This time was much better, we both enjoyed the meals.Portions were very good, food was ready within a few minutes of predicted collection time.We will return ! Really pleased to say.Original review below.A tasty meal.Divided opinion of the chapati in our house. I thought it a little too thick, but my girlfriend thought it one of the best she has ever had!Excellent flavours, well cooked.Excessive oil in the vegetable curry which leaked.Lentil daal was more liquid based than we are used to.Will be back again to try other dishes.
