Shaheens Indian Restaurant

I found the service really quick here and the food was lovely. Really nice place to eat out in Durham, nice birthday treat.

Really nice Indian restaurant. The food is excelllent and the service is really quick and efficient. One of my favourite places to eat out in Durham

AMENDED 5÷4÷13− 5 years later, thought we would give it another go, and SO PLEASED WE DID!!! the décor tableware etc are all still the same, same chef even, but the waitress was attentive and chatty, the chef came out to say Hi, the food arrived timely, good portions EXCELLENT QUALITY food, very good price, good selection, the peshwari nan is STILL to die for, so pleased we gave the place a second chance, definitely the best Indian restaurant locally. ORIGINAL POST: This had always been my favourite restaurant, I love the busy, cosy atmosphere, the friendly staff, the peshwari nan is to die for, but in all honesty my last few visits have been disappointing at best. The service was rushed, (we hadnt finished the starter when the main course arrived!) the bill landed on our table before i had put my fork down! the portions were smaller (we had to ask for re-​fills of the pickles) and pricier than the norm, wouldnt say this was particularly balanced by the quality or taste either, wasnt bad, wasnt anything to shout about though, really hope Shaheens pulls its socks up!
