Indian Cottage in County Durham

Absolutely gorgeous food and service from front of house to match thankyou x

If you thinking of trying a new share box don't bother freezing cold food very overpriced hardly get anything.Think I'll stick to my local (rose of India )the best around by far..

Excellent service and value. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will be ordering from here again 👏👌

Thought we’d give Indian Cottage a try as we hadn’t been for a while and weren’t disappointed. Delivered on time and full of flavour cannot fault 👍

We tried this takeaway for the first time based on so many positive reviews. Maybe it was because it was Xmas eve and they were too busy but we were very dissapointed. Firstly, all of the food was seriously underseasoned, including the pilau rice. I have NEVER before had to add salt to indian food. My partners Shashlik, although the lamb tikka was good, had too many very large pieces of onion, pepper and tomato, like as big as half an apple! My beef madras was well spiced, about right, and the beef was tender, but as I said badly underseasoned and sorry to say absolutely SWIMMING in ghee. The bhindi bhaji was bland and almost tasteless apart from an overwhelming flavour of what I think was methi? Even the nan was very greasy. In the end we threw half of it away. It actually left me feeling a bit queasy. Sorry, not good enough.

Always a pleasure to eat food from here, very friendly staff and high quality ingredients make for a fantastic experience of Indian cuisine. I've eaten Indian food from various different places when on holiday and nothing compares to the Indian Cottage which is, luckily, right on my doorstep 😀

My review 6 months ago was 5 stars:Good food , great serviceI really do like the food from Indian cottage - If they expanded to a sit down restaurant they would do great business!However;I have now updated my review based on my last visits in the last few weeks.Things seems to have changed, the food has become a bit more random, ok but that's it. I haven't been given any free popodoms, I have had long waits beyond the time I was told (collecting myself) and the price has increased this last time from about £26 to £32.70 for the same items.Not sure what has changed (other than the price!)

Awesome food, very polite staff. Quality was out of this world, both with telephone manner and the delivery driver.

Superb takeaway, probably the best in the county. Owners are always very pleasant, the food is absolutely first class and very reasonably priced. Although we have several Indian's with a half mile, we always make the effort and travel through to Crook. Highly recommended.

Have been a customer for a long time but recently their food has been out of this world. Just eaten a gorgeous Chicken Ceylon and extras absolutely perfect. Best NE curry house 2013.....2014 tasting even better.
