Dilshad

Dilshad on Ocean Road has been serving Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine since 1966, formerly trading as the Bengal, making it one of the oldest curry houses in South Shields. The kitchen's long heritage shows in a menu that goes beyond standard curry house fare — keema naan, chicken tikka, rogan josh and Sri Lankan-influenced dishes are among the standouts. Reviewers on TripAdvisor frequently call it the best on Ocean Road for quality and price.
