If your looking to go to a superior classy restaurant in the heart of Bewdley, be sure to head over to this restaurant. The food was out of this world. I have eaten in many indian restaurants before and this restaurant is by far one of the best i have ever tried. The service was fantastic and the interior is out of this world. I will definately be going back very soon.

One Friday night two couples met in the chiche classy but homely and inviting restaurant on Brentwood Avenue in Jesmond. The staff were really inviting and humourous and created an excellent atmosphere. Nothing requested was too much for them and their speed, efficiency and enthusiasm has led me and my wife to return and now we are planning a holiday in Belgium all because of the positive vibes we experienced here in Newcastle.

food very good but avoid Saturdays as they cannot handle the pressure. They have the potential to turn your evening into a disaster.

Meal at The Tontine, Wednesday 21st October 2009. In our party there was seven, three males and four females, ages ranging from 30 to 77 years of age. The booking was made under the name Cook. The occasion was to celebrate the 30th birthday of one of the ladies. We were all looking forward to a special evening and a memorable event. Naturally we had all heard of the reputation and quality of the Tontine over many years, and we were eagerly anticipating a special night. Unfortunately, the meal was not as special and as of high quality that we were expecting. That is the reason for this letter. We had no complaints regarding the staff, table presentation or the actual surroundings. The complaint we all had was the quality and standard of the food, which in our opinion did not match any of our expectations, disappointed us and give us negative impressions of the Tontine. We had decided on the fixed dinner menu, which we thought was good value considering the location. Upon receiving the menu, we were all extremely disappointed at the choices, particularly the main courses. There were only three choices, Pigeon, Tuna and a vegetarian dish. All seven of us thought this was a very limited selection and reluctantly decided on the normal evening menu. All seven of us either had a beef and Guinness pie (4) or a fish pie. This was the best value meal, and again we were expecting something special. In relation to the beef pie, this was accompanied by a small portion of mashed potato and similar size portion of peas. The fish pie had no vegetables whatsoever. A portion of green beans was ordered due to the lack of other vegetables. The pies were tasty enough though two of the party commented that the fish pie was very salty. Three of the ladies had a dessert, and two of the ladies commented that there meal were very small portions, the sticky toffee pudding being the only dessert which did not get a negative review. Bearing in mind the cost of the desserts. £6.25 each. So as you can imagine the evening was not as special as previously expected, but was certainly memorable but for the wrong reasons. On leaving comments expressed were "I will not go back there in a hurry", "very expensive for what we got" "Hardly any vegetables". The bill came to about £182 which included 2 bottles of red wine and some glasses of beer and lager. I accept customers probably get bills double or triple this amount, but at the end of the day, we as customers were left dissatisfied and with a very poor impression of the establishment. I know that the Tontine can do better then this, and hope the points raised in this letter would be replied to with explanations. If we were reviewers of newspapers I believe the expression used amongst other would be on the lines that the Tontine would be given a "Slating", and told to pull its socks up, - could do better. That is my opinion, you may well disagree.

You could drive past this place and miss it.It has a very unassuming facade and looks like a normal takeaway.Inside it is equally simple and functional.But the food is excellent and full of flavour and taste.I have quite a few friends who travel a long way to eat here.In my opinion this is the best Asian food in the Potteries and streets ahead of other more westernised and flashy curry restaurants in the area.The customers I see when I go in are mostly Indian or Pakistani locals, which says to me this is the real deal.The lamb or mutton is always tender,the fresh spices sing through,the chicken always succulent and tender.Our favourite dishes are bindi gosht (lamb with okra), fish karahi, achari chicken and tarka daal (spiced lentils).I have not tried all the dishes and I am sure some would disappoint according to my friend who deviated recently from her usual choice but some of these dishes are truly sublime,especially off the .My only gripe is I am not keen on their breads.They are very mediocre.I wish they did nans like the New Royal Balti in Audley or Rozeys of Kidsgrove.But the curries at these places are not as good so you cant have it all! I look forward to trying haleem after finding out what it is on Google.
