Cookson Spice in County Durham

Always great food at a good price. Would not go anywhere else.

Absolutely love this place, you'll find meals that you don't see in a lot of other places, and they're beautiful. Full of flavour and the right spices. The service is second to none, especially from the owner who makes a point of going around to every table. They don't serve alcohol but you can take your own in, which I think is a plus, especially if you want to keep the cost of the meal down. Best curry I've had.

First visit here for a work do. Not particularly busy for a Saturday night, but we were well looked after by the staff here.The food was excellent, generous portion sizes and all 10 if us were served at pretty much the same time despite many different choices from a plentiful menu, and good value for money, approx £25 a head for starter, main, rice and naan.There is currently no Alcohol licence here, but you are welcome to bring your own.Sadly the card machine was out of order when we visited, it may be worth carrying cash.Would eat here again

Food always fantastic as usual and service was great!

Amazing. I ordered some tandoori chicken and it tasted out of this world. The spice and Flavour really hits and it's also cheap! 10/10 would come again. I really recommend it.

Food is amazing! Genuinely cannot recommend highly enough, the food is unreal. The staff are very welcoming and very helpful if you have any questions. Food comes out as soon as it's ready so it is very fresh and often sizzling. And it's more than just the standard Indian fare, there are dozens house specialities which are varied and all I've tried have been excellent. There's also a wide selection of fish based food for those who fancy that.Phenomenal food, legitimately the best Indian meal I've ever had was from this restaurant.

Fantastic food but had to wait 40 minutes longer than the advised pick up time with no apology or explanation from staff! Clearly took too many orders than they were able to cope with! Happy to help out businesses like this during the pandemic but you can't treat customers like this! Really could not fault the food but will not be returning due to very poor service! Need to improve!!

I always go to this place when I'm away near Durham and it's my absolute favourite Indian restaurant. The food choice and quality is really excellent.No card payments and no alcohol served (you can take your own).

Went tonight for our belated anniversary. The food was outstanding, the screens to protect people look like they should be there. The poor lads running round like headless chickens with people wanting food takeaways and deliveries 🏃🏃😂 def recommend going. Well done lads

Excellent meal tonight at Cookson, service and food were top rate, easily up there with the best Indians in the north east region - the bring your own alcohol is great, this saved a lot of money and meant we could take our favourite wine. All the dishes we had tonight were high quality and well cooked. Will be visiting again!
