Went here for the Sunday special and it was beautiful. There was a bit of a wait in between courses but the food came out piping hot and tasted amazing so didn't mind the wait. Been here a few times and never had a bad meal. Very generous portion sizes and great customer service.
Food was perfect would highly recommend you try this place out very friendly staff
Food is always very nice. Naan bread is never burned like most other places. This is always my favourite restaurant for Indian food.
The most amazing food go on a Sunday or Thursday when it is specials night you can get pomperdoms with dips a starter and then a main example "chicken tika Masala with nan bread and rice " all that for under a £10 , dam just thought I should t be telling people how good it is because it will be heaving with customers next time I go
Lush!! Great menu, prices and lovely staff.
One of the best currys we've had in a lovely long time, made to order. Highly recommended xxx Beautiful well done guys
Always good at the dilshad 5*, house thali is the best.
My favourite place to eat. Fantastic authentic food and at an excellent price. Gorgeous!
Went to the dilshad Friday night and sat night staff always very helful excellent service lovely food
You know what to expect from the Dilsahd and it never disappoints. 7-8/10 food every time, which you pay next to nothing for. Spot on once again.
Absolutely delicious food, was really impressed with everything I had. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning soon.
I was a regular at the Dilshad about 30 years ago when I lived in Hartlepool. So last week when I was in town for an old school reunion, I was pleased to see it was still going. It's near the railway station and opens at 4:30pm, so I decided to have an early dinner there before my train left. A friend had already told me it's still the best Indian restaurant in town, so I had high expectations. I was not disappointed.
Arriving as the doors opened, I was the only sit-in customer for a while, but others soon arrived. At non-peak times they do a £10.95 5-item deal (£1 extra if you want items from the tandoor), so I picked this, and also ordered a couple of papadums and chutneys at extra cost, and a pint of draught Kingfisher for £4.50. The chutneys included a red sauce with a lovely unique flavour I had not tasted before. They told me it was a "Hartlepool special".
The mixed kebab starter was simply excellent - check photo. Several pieces each of chicken tikka, lamb tikka and sheek kebab, served with a fresh salad, spices and garnish.
For main I had the Karai chicken tikka, which again was superb, with pilau rice. The deal also included a plain nan bread. Portions were generous and I ended up taking away a small container with remains of chicken and rice, together with half of the nan.
Service was good - staff immaculately presented and attentive without being intrusive. Were interested to hear how I had been a regular 30 years previously, probably before most of them were born. Bill was £20 in total on card, and I left a cash tip.
Highly recommended, one of the best Indian meals I have had, and as my friend had told me, probably the only Indian restaurant worth considering in the area.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD THE CHEFS EXCLUSIVE MENU IS AMAZING SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM MOUTHWATERING DISHES FRESH TO TASTE STAFF WAS POLITE AND FRIENDLY
