You’re guaranteed a beautiful meal at Alishaan. It never disappoints, everyone who works there are always so friendly. The restaurant setting is lovely too. We sometimes pick up our meal for a takeaway which is always a 10/10. Best curry house in Durham! You won’t be disappointed!
The customer service is great! The waiting time is good. As a not Indian person I think the food was tasty, although my Indian friends think it is not that authentic. The portions are reasonable, the place is really big and the vibe of the place is nice! They have cool music in the background.
Excellent food and good service Thank jabb's for dropping the food in Durham hospital
I had dinner here with my partner, I tried 2 curries, they were very tasty and full of flavours. I am very picky on indian food and this was just the way i like! Nan bread also was really nice. The decor is nice the one you'd expect in a indian restaurant.
