The Zeera Tandoori Menu at 19 Front St, Pity Me, Durham DH1 5EJ, offers a rich tapestry of Indian culinary delights that caters to both traditionalists and adventurous diners. As someone who frequently explores South Asian cuisine, I found the menu at Zeera Tandoori to be a commendable blend of authenticity and creativity.

What sets Zeera apart is its balance between time-honoured recipes and modern presentation. Starters like the Lamb Chops and Onion Bhaji arrive well-seasoned and perfectly cooked, offering generous portions without overwhelming the palate. For mains, the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Rogan Josh shine-not only for their depth of flavour but also for the consistency of the sauces, which are rich, aromatic, and not overly greasy. The Biryani options are also worth highlighting, particularly the Zeera Special Biryani, which comes loaded with both meat and vegetables, offering excellent value.

Vegetarian offerings are abundant, with standout dishes like Saag Paneer and Vegetable Jalfrezi, showing attention to seasoning and textural contrast. The naan breads are pillowy, charred just right, and come in a variety of flavours that enhance the overall experience.

Service-wise, the staff is knowledgeable and eager to guide diners through the menu. They readily offer suggestions based on spice preference and dietary needs. The restaurant maintains a cosy, welcoming atmosphere-ideal for both dine-in and takeaway.

Compared to other Indian establishments in the Durham area, Zeera Tandoori excels in portion control, pricing, and ingredient freshness. While some competitors lean heavily on cream-based sauces, Zeera offers more nuanced spice blends that feel both authentic and well-refined.

In conclusion, the Zeera Tandoori Menu offers a rewarding journey through Indian cuisine, making it a standout choice for anyone in or near Pity Me looking for quality, flavourful dishes served with care.
