i got the idea from Kristi on this site. Heard mixed reviews about this place, not been there myself. Not been to any indian restaurants in shields (why would I?

) but my sister been to a few and she was not impressed (she's a meat eater).
Other places worth trying:
Tavistock Thai-China (roker)
The Rattlers (Marsden) on seafront - italian food
Backwaters in Sunderland (South Indian) - tried their vegan food when they did the catering at music festival last year - very good. But its match day this saturday so personally i would avoid the town/rush. ]
Dunesadvetureland (next to fair)- The Brig bar is starting a buffet each day all day . The management have said if i know when any vegans are coming they will try and put some extra choice on the menu, but need notice. (maybe something to eat during a day out in summer times).
anyway hope the above ideas help..not sure what my plans are this saturday but join in if free.
