This restaurant is incredible! They offer a variety of gluten-free options on the menu. You can find delicious curries and grilled dishes from South Africa, as well as a fantastic lamb tagine. They have rice, plantains, and triple-cooked chips too. It's definitely worth a visit!
**Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** £10–20 **Food:** ★★★★★ **Service:** ★★★★★ **Atmosphere:** ★★★★★ I highly recommend this restaurant for vegetarians! The menu features a range of clearly labeled vegetarian dishes, making it easy to choose. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!
Totally unexpected find in Shildon. Very interesting and different menu cooked by one of the owners who is from Sierra Leone and therefore had her own take on all the dishes on the menu. Both the chef and her husband are extremely friendly and made the visit even more memorable. We were fascinated to find that the first passenger railway in the world started outside the restaurant (which was a pub in those days) and passengers bought tickets actually in the room we were eating in. Well worth a visit and we'll be back soon
