Char Mausum - Northumberland

Took my wife here early on Saturday night, we both had sheek kebab starter , my wife had king prawn dupiaza and i had the king prawn jalfrezi. both with mushroom pillau rice, all i can say is that the food was delicious, and with...a pint of cobra for me this was perfect. its the best jalfrezi i ever had. I should have known, by the high volume of people using the take away service that this restaurant was top class. well done all, we will be back here very soon, thanks

Ordered takeaway at Collected at Chicken Tikka, Bombay aloo, Sag aloo, Veg pilau and garlic Naan. Absolutely without taste. The naan was a pre bought supermarket version that had never visited a tandoori oven and similarly the chicken tikka was without...evidence of correct cooking in a prescribed oven. The side dishes were bland and the potatoes had not been cooked. A meagre amour it tandoori sauce was included. Rice was acceptable but an order of Madras sauce was simply a generic curry sauce enhanced with chilli. a complete disappointment and as an experienced visitor to hundreds of Indian restaurants this was unacceptable. Was my timing lacking as the early order missed the firing of the Tandoor? Used this restaurant before and have always been satisfied. Incidentally no web site or email address!!!

We had the masaledar baduck and the Goan fish curry. Both absolutely delicious. This was our first visit but it won’t be our last.

Have been back to eat here a couple of times now since an absence of a good few years the food is back to its previous high standard. We have had a carry out but prefer to sit in even if we get a...bit more carried away!

We visited on the recommendation of our host and were not disappointed. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was well presented, with good portions, and tasted excellent. Well worth a visit.
