About Shaheens Indian

Shaheens Indian has been trading for more than 35 years and is still as busy and popular as ever – sitting pretty at the top of Durham’s TripAdvisor rankings. It’s very much a family affair with matriarch Mrs Khan running the kitchen and both her son and daughter heavily involved in the business. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 5pm and is just a hundred yards from Durham Cathedral. It’s just one room and a bar with wooden floors and room for 36 diners. Expect authentic and bespoke dishes with the Kashmiri Balti a signature dish. No nuts are used and if you have any special requests, the kitchen is always happy to accommodate requests. Plenty of wines, beers, gins and soft drinks to accompany your meal and if you’re planning a party or event, the whole restaurant is available for private hire.

Brilliant Indian Restaurant, the best in Durham, or even County Durham, by far. Pleasant, knowledgable staff, the best Peshwari Naan I have ever tasted. We will return for sure!

Travelled to Durham from Derby, I booked a table at Shaheens purely on recommendation because TripAdvisor said this was the top place to eat. We had food hear on Saturday evening and it was lovely, enjoyed the atmosphere really clean and the staff were so welcoming. We had lovely starter of prawn poori and my parter had shish kebab, the currys were lovely we enjoyed them being spicy and had nans and rice. The whole experience was lovely x
