The Standard Tandoori

Best curries in the north, we have visited the Standard Tandoori takeaway in Gosforth every week for the last few years and the food is superb. They were closed for over one year during the farcical “lockdown” and we tried other takeaways but found the quality of other places to be no where near as good. Highly Recommended!!!! Brian Hughes

We've tried a few different Indian restaurants in Gosforth when the Standard was closed but it wins every time, and it's the most reasonably priced. They seem to use fresher ingredients than neighbouring restaurants whose food is really bland in comparison we particularly like the bhuna, dansak, pathia, and balti as safe classics, and the starters and sides never disappoint. We love how unassuming it is, they have very little online presence and don't seem to do much advertising so that's a testament to how good they are that they're still in business. I only hope they're not chased out of the market because their food really is the best.

I have walked past this place on numerous occasions and always wondered how the food was. I decided to give it a go after reading good reviews. I always go for a madras when trying somewhere new using it as a benchmark, the food was great, keema pilau delicious, I will definitely return.

The Standard closed down just as we went into lockdown in March 2020, and rumour had it that it was for good. All the way through the two lockdowns and the subsequent months we had to get our curries from other takeaways and restaurants. They were pleasant enough, but we realise now that it has reopened, that none of them were as good as the Standard. Really authentic and tasty food at very reasonable prices. I could not recommend it more highly.

I’ve used the Standard for many years. The food is consistently good and excellent value for money. If you fancy a takeaway don’t miss it
