Gilesgate Tandoori

Gilesgate Tandoori is the long-running Indian curry-house takeaway on Marshall Terrace in the Gilesgate area east of central Durham, set within walking distance of the Durham Grange campsite. The kitchen runs an evening-only trade from late afternoon (closed Wednesdays), and regular customers single out the lamb madras and chicken tikka biryani as reliable orders, with a four-course meal-deal at around £12.95 a popular value pick.

The shop operates its own online ordering at gilesgatetandoori.com but is cash-only for in-person collection. Reviews are mixed — strong praise for friendly delivery and exceptional value sits alongside complaints about oil levels on some dishes. Collection from Marshall Terrace.
