"around 19 clock on new years advised eve as per booking. another table. later, two more couples came up in a total of 4 tabs. room was freezing, so they had to ask to put heating. had to ask her to write music to drink something. no waiter service. ordered food for 4 of us at 19:30 o'clock. an hour later no food had arrived. another table complained and suggested that they should bring poppadome out, so we have some of them with the pickle tablet, waiter it fell on the table and spilled over table cloth and man. At 9 o'clock we followed our food order, as no one had updated us. the other table of 8 people had not received any food. the restaurant took the pickup orders over the phone, but was not worried at all about the 4 occupied tables in the restaurant, which all had received no food in 2 hours. Finally we left the restaurant after over 2 hours after we had not received our meals. they had the good idea not to invite us for the drinks we had, but no excuses and no explanations. will never return to this restaurant because the service did not exist and the limited staff was not interested at all."

This is a great restaurant all the food was first class, I had the Bollywood special, very tasty full of spices but not too hot just full of flavour. The onion bahji was spot on nice and crispy and dry.

The food is the best in Bishop Auckland and surroundings. Bollywood Special massive included King Prawn, Chicken Tikka, Lamb Tikka and grilled potato, used unusual spices when prepared, Very very tasty but price only £10.50

Wow, what a fantastic find. We were looking for a meal for five adults and children. Two of our party were vegan, the others meat eaters. The proprietor couldn't have been nicer, even giving the two year old a free child friendly dessert. All curries...were 10/10, meat eaters and vegetarians were happy. Very highly recommended.

One of the best Indians I’ve had in such a long time, came for a weekend away with my boyfriend and went for a last minute meal. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Portions are absolutely huge and well worth the money. We had to take out due to leavint so much. Will 100% return due to how amazing the food was and excellent service. Cannot recommend enough : 10 out of 10

Phoned our order in and it normally take a hour . After 1 hour 30mins phoned to chase it up said it was leaving now. After 2 hours phoned once again told there had been a mix up and had been recooked and on Its...way. When it eventually turned up and touched the bags the mental containers were stone cold . They wanted over £40 for this!!!! Just rejected it and gave it back to the poor delivery driver who said there had been numerous complaints. Since Foye has left it has just gone down hill. Won't be using it again.

Ordered food to be delivered at 6:45. It arrived finally, at 1 hour and 40 minutes late. Utter disgrace. I phoned twice. The first time (after the delivery was overdue by 50 minutes) I was informed that it was out for delivery and would be...there very soon. Utter garbage. It arrived after another phone call to them and another 50 minute wait. The guy actually hung up on me when I phoned the second time, and I was politeness personified. Utter disgrace, utter shambles and total dishonesty. The food, when it arrived was inedible. The lamb tikka in the rogan Josh was as chewy as hell and the chicken tikka in the balti was salty and vile. The chips were well over cooked and dark brown. My cocon...
