Taste Of India

Taste of India runs out of a small Louisa Terrace unit in St Helen Auckland, the village on the south-western edge of Bishop Auckland that sits between the town and West Auckland proper. Under owners Russell and Jasmine the shop has built one of the strongest review scores of any Indian takeaway in the Bishop Auckland area, holding a rating in the low five-out-of-six range on Just Eat across well over a thousand orders. The kitchen runs the standard British-Indian curry-house menu — tandoori starters, balti and biryani sections, the full karahi and dopiaza range — with the halal handling that gives the shop a wider catchment among the Muslim community across south-west Durham. Reviewer comments consistently pick out the warmth of the owners alongside the quality of cooking, which is the kind of repeat-business signal that aggregator scores reflect more honestly than one-off ratings. Delivery runs from early evening across St Helen Auckland into West Auckland, the Cockton Hill end of Bishop Auckland and the surrounding ex-mining villages. Online ordering is handled through the shop's own site at tasteofindiaba.co.uk alongside Just Eat. The Louisa Terrace position — tucked behind the main A688 route — keeps the operation focused on the village and its near surroundings rather than the broader town-centre trade.
