Indian · Shildon
A quiet Indian spot in Shildon that works well for an early family dinner, when you want a proper sit-down meal without the room being too loud for a small child. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you don't have to improvise something off the mains for a toddler, and gluten-free and halal options mean fewer dietary conversations at the table. It's mid-range on price, and worth ringing ahead to book rather than turning up and hoping. Rated 4.1 from 150 Google ratings.
