Reviews in County Durham

This restaurant which serves Thai cuisine has now changed its name to AROMA. All the ingredients are freshly prepared and cooked to order. The Chef Valentino is excellent and he runs the restaurant with his Mam, Anna. They are a very nice, friendly Romanian family. The atmosphere is cosy, decor very nice and everything is spotlessly clean. They are willing to adapt any dish to suit the taste if the diner requests. This place is well worth a visit and once tried you will definitely want to go again. My family and I have been numerous times and will continue going. Paul, Chris and Daniel Young

Excellent food, plenty of it, staff excellent-quick, very helpful and friendly. Bucket of beer great and iced glasses nice touch. Happy hour is great price and food just as good as normal menu. Highly recommend this restaurant to singles and families.

Had a bit of trouble finding this place. went the wrong way at first, but eventually found it, near the station pub. The atmosphere was enchanting, very busy and although we were told we may have to wait, it was so worth it. The food was amazing, traditional Mexican, the stuffed peppers were gorgeous and the Mexican parmesan was delicious. My wife had the tequila fettuccine and said it was possibly the nicest thing she'd ever eaten!!! I highly recommend this place to everyone, even though it was busy, it was Saturday night, the atmosphere was amazing, it felt like we were on holiday in Mexico, and we didn't mind waiting at all!

As a visitor to the area I thought Mohujos was a great little restaurant in Billingham. Nice area.(Cute railway and interesting old signal box at the top of the street) Parking outside the door, a buzzing atmosphere even for a Wednesday evening, yummy food - all very fresh and tasty. Staff very friendly and attentive. Decor Mexican themed and modern. Very impressed with cleanliness and overall standards. Hope to visit again when I am next "Up North"

Fantastic food prepared to however the customer wanted. Atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly and approachable! prices are affordable and portions sizes are excellent value for money.

I had a lovely meal with my wife two weeks ago.i will be back for my birthday in july. well done the chef..

The restaurant is situated on the main road with good parking facilities, the atmosphere inside was great. I actually forgot that I was in Billingham and it did feel like I was abroad. The beer was a bit pricey but isn't it always. The wine selection was good also. The food, well. The food was great. It is only a small menu but it means that the chef can spend a bit more time in preparation. The ingredients were fresh and not frozen. The staff were very accommodating and not over bearing like in some restaurants, always happy to help with a smile. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant to all

Superb atmosphere with food and service to match. What a transformation since the new owners have refurbished the whole business. They must have spent a fortune on the place, but very wisely. Highly recommended.

we went a couple of weeks ago and i thought i would have problems choosing food as i have a peanut allergy,and foolishly the previous week we went to a chain restaurant over the road and it seemed nothing could be changed on our meals. I couldn't have been more wrong; the manager explained how everything was fresh and they could adapt ingredients. I had ribs with chicken and instead of having batter (as she explained they couldn't say was nut free) i had grilled chicken instead. The staff went out of their way to double check all ingredients and it was a fab night. the food was inexpensive, the atmosphere was nice, the staff were always friendly and attentive and i can understand why there seemed to be a regular customers in that the staff were speaking to. We will certainly return.

Great Carvery Sunday lunch, you can choose from Beef, Lamb or Pork. You get the full works along with a choice of 3 desserts all for £6.50. Great value, great food!

We have been here several times for a meal and the food has always been great tasting a well-prepared. Mohujos truly has the flavours of Mexico in the food as well as the atmosphere. The staff are wonderful and friendly. I very highly recommend this restaurant for a fun night out.

had a lovely meal at the carriage restaurant in hope street crook county durham very good portions, good standard of food and excellent service would definitely go back again hope they keep the standards high

Stumbled on this place by accident, and what a find! Cosy and friendly atmosphere with a mix of locals and visitors making a difference from the typical faux traditional food pub (no rakes, ladders or bikes on the wall). Food was imaginative (even the veggie option), hearty without being too much and well cooked. I shouldn't recommend it really as it can get busy enough already and i'd like to be able to get a table!

I came to Frankie & Benny's with my family on Tuesday 24th April it was my mums birthday and knew that they did surprise cakes with music and balloons. We ate off the main menu as it was around 7o'clock and had starters, mains then desserts. the starters were delicious served fast looked great, i think it was the manager who brought them over a young man who was very polite and funny, (my mum took a shine to him). the mains were delivered quickly after the starters were cleared by our waitress and again were fresh and looked great. our cake was delivered to the sound of happy birthday, dimmed lights and lots of clapping which was great to see as everyone joined in. i noticed it was quite busy and i must say all the staff were working so hard but it never made a difference to the service at all both managers were heavily involved and you don? see that much, i would like to thank all the staff working that evening as it was great!!!!

Had a really great night here, food was amazing!! Staff were so lovely and helpful and you forget you?e in Billingham as it? so nice, like someone else has said it feels like your on holiday! Definitely recommend it*

The food is well prepared - and ample amounts. Wonderful home made chips and a huge selection on the menu. The staff are very good and helpful.

Beautiful settings located in a local and cosy pub with excellent service and even better food

Fantastic Sunday Lunch in a gorgeous village pub. We will definitely be returning!
